AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC. ANNOUNCES
CLOSING OF $200 MILLION REGISTERED DIRECT OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK
LEAWOOD, KANSAS - (June 25, 2026) -- AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) ("AMC" or "the Company"), announced today that it closed its previously announced registered direct offering of an aggregate of 95,250,000 shares of AMC common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $200 million (the "Offering"), before deducting agent fees and offering expenses.
AMC intends to use the proceeds from the Offering primarily to immediately call and soon thereafter redeem all of its $125,471,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027. As a result, AMC does not anticipate any material debt principal repayments coming due prior to calendar year 2029.
In addition, the proceeds will serve to pay related fees, costs, premiums and expenses associated with the Offering and the Senior Subordinated Notes redemption, as well as for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of other debt. The remainder of the proceeds will go toward the strengthening of AMC's cash reserves, and of great importance, to growth-oriented investments in our theatres implemented and in place as soon as this autumn. While still evidencing discipline in our capital expenditures process, these targeted high-return projects will further enhance and elevate the moviegoing experience at some of AMC's already-higher grossing theatres.
Commenting on the successful completion of the Offering, Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC Entertainment, said, "We are extremely pleased with the institutional investor interest in and support of AMC that we believe is reflected in this transaction. The successful completion of this Offering provides AMC with approximately $200 million of gross proceeds, meaningfully strengthens our balance sheet and cash position, and allows AMC to make some attractive growth-oriented investments as soon as this autumn at some of our already higher-grossing theatres."
Aron continued, "Specifically, with these proceeds, we expect to repay all $125.5 million of our Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2027, reducing debt, lowering annual cash interest expense by approximately $7.7 million, and improving AMC's debt profile with no currently expected maturities until calendar year 2029. At the same time, the Offering increases our cash reserves. We also can immediately commence a few targeted, high-return investments in seating upgrades and more premium screens at some of our most important theatres that will further differentiate the guest experience that distinguishes AMC."
Aron concluded, "Throughout 2026, the theatrical business has been experiencing exceptional momentum with broad-based audience demand across multiple film genres. Just this past weekend, of course, TOY STORY 5 became the seventh different film in the past three months to generate a domestic opening weekend gross exceeding $75 million. When we look at the movies coming to our theatres in July, across the summer and towards year-end, in our opinion, the number of movies expected to open with a strong consumer response is sure to increase markedly. Taken together, our improved financial position and a considerably improved box office performance reinforce our confidence in AMC's growth trajectory."
Roth Capital Partners served as the sole placement agent for the Offering.
