As previously disclosed, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is party to a credit agreement, dated as of April 30, 2013, and as amended through the sixth amendment thereto dated April 22, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement”). In addition to senior secured term loans, the Credit Agreement provides for a $225 million senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit) due April 22, 2024 (the “AMC Revolving Credit Facility”). As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $215 million available for borrowing, net of letters of credit, under the AMC Revolving Credit Facility.

​

Also, as previously disclosed, on December 7, 2017, the Company entered into a £100 million revolving credit facility secured by the assets of our Odeon subsidiary in England and Wales (the “Odeon Credit Facility”). As of December 31, 2019, the Company had £89.2 million available for borrowing, net of letters of credit, under the Odeon Revolving Credit Facility. The AMC Revolving Credit Facility and the Odeon Revolving Credit Facility are collectively referred to herein as the “Revolving Credit Facilities.”

​

The material terms of the Revolving Credit Facilities are described in Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company on February 28, 2020, and are incorporated herein by reference.

​

On March 20, 2020, the Company increased its borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities as a precautionary measure in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. As of March 24, 2020, the Company has borrowed $215 million under the AMC Revolving Credit Facility and £89.2 million under the Odeon Credit Facility, which constitutes all of the remaining available amounts under the Revolving Credit Facilities, net of letters of credit.
