AMC Entertainment Holding’s Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a series of privately negotiated exchange agreements, under which it issued an aggregate of 1,568,591 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) in exchange for $12,275,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10%/12% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “Exchange Transactions”). The Company may engage in similar transactions in the future but is under no obligation to do so. Based on aggregate principal amount exchanged plus $577,153 aggregate accrued interest thereon through the date of exchange, the Common Stock issued had an implied value of $8.19 per share.

Pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Common Stock issued in the Exchange Transactions were issued in each case to an existing security holder of the Company exclusively in exchange for such holder’s securities and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given for soliciting the exchange. Other exemptions may apply.

Because the shares of Common Stock issued in the Exchange Transactions constitute less than 1% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, the disclosure under this Item 3.02 is being disclosed voluntarily. The Exchange Transactions settled between November 27, 2023 and December 7, 2023.

On December 11, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing among other things that it had completed its previously disclosed “at-the-market” equity offering (the “ATM”). A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On December 11, 2023, the Company announced that it had completed its previously disclosed $350 million ATM. The Company issued 48,030,843 shares of Common Stock in aggregate in the ATM at an average price of $7.29.

As of December 11, 2023, during the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023, AMC used a portion of the net proceeds from its ATM to repurchase approximately $50 million principal amount of its 10%/12% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Subordinated Notes due 2026 at an average discount of 19.67% plus accrued interest. Combined with the Exchange Transactions, during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reduced the principal amounts of its debt by approximately $62.28 million.

Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
