AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Announces Successful Closing of Comprehensive Refinancing Transactions that Strengthen the Balance Sheet and Position the Company to Prosper from Robust Box Office Rec
LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) ('AMC' or the 'Company') today announced the successful completion of a series of previously announced debt refinancing transactions with key creditor groups, including certain holders of its 7.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the 'Consenting 7.5% Noteholders'), certain holders of Muvico, LLC's 6.00%/8.00% Senior Secured Exchangeable Notes due 2030 (the 'Consenting Exchangeable Noteholders') and certain lenders of AMC's term loans outstanding under its existing credit agreement (the 'Credit Agreement,' and any such consenting lenders, the 'Consenting Term Loan Lenders') that materially strengthen the Company's capital structure and fortify the Company's balance sheet and financial flexibility. The transactions executed in accordance with the Transaction Support Agreement dated July 1, 2025, garnered overwhelming support from creditors, with approximately 90% of Term Loan holders under AMC's Credit Agreement delivering their consent. This support enabled AMC to quickly close the full suite of coordinated transactions, including new capital funding, significant debt reduction, and litigation resolution. Highlights of the now-completed transactions include: New Capital : The Consenting 7.5% Noteholders provided approximately $244 million in new financing and exchanged $590 million of existing notes for $857 million of new Senior Secured Notes due 2029. De-risking of 2026 Maturities : The $244 million of new financing will be used primarily to fully redeem AMC's 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes and 10.0%/12.0% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Subordinated Secured Notes, both due in 2026, and fund transaction expenses. Debt Reduction : $143 million of AMC's 6.00%/8.00% Senior Secured Exchangeable Notes due 2030, were equitized on July 1, 2025, with the potential to equitize up to a total of $337 million of existing debt, including approximately $194 million of new Senior Secured Exchangeable Notes due 2030 issued to the Consenting Exchangeable Noteholders in exchange for their existing notes. Litigation Resolution : Final dismissal of litigation brought by holders of AMC's 7.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2029. For more information, please refer to the Form 8-K filed by AMC today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and available on our website at Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC, commented, 'With the closing of these transformative transactions and the full redemption of our 2026 debt maturities, AMC is unquestionably on offense. Around 90% of our term loan lenders rallied behind this forward-looking plan, a level of support that demonstrates their tremendous confidence in the direction in which AMC is headed.' Aron continued, 'We are especially excited about our dramatic expansion plans for an increased number of premium large format and extra-large screens being offered by AMC and Odeon globally, along with our continued broad deployment of state-of-the-art laser projection technology. AMC Entertainment already offers more premium experiences than any other exhibitor on the planet, and we intend to further increase our lead in this area even that much more. Supported by a wide variety of marketing initiatives that are compelling in the value and messaging that they offer to moviegoers, our offering our guests the best possible experiences in often unique and particularly noteworthy theatres is the secret sauce that is key to our increasing success.' Aron concluded, 'Watch out world, AMC Entertainment is on the way back. With fresh capital secured, near-term debt maturities addressed, and with the overwhelming support of our lenders, we are operating from a clearly improved financial position. Combining our bold balance sheet transactions with the tailwinds of a resurgent box office both domestically and internationally, at AMC we look to the future with optimism, momentum and confidence.'

‘Flight to crap': US meme stock fever is spreading like it's 2021
NEW YORK – Stocks are at all-time highs. Chatter on WallStreetBets, a popular forum on the Reddit website, is surging. Retail traders are flooding into low-priced shares. It's not 2021, and the shares of the moment aren't GameStop, AMC Entertainment Holdings or the now-bankrupt Bed Bath & Beyond. In 2025's meme stock mania, the companies du jour are Opendoor Technologies and Kohl's Corp. The similarities are clear: Like the episode four years ago, amateur traders are piling into heavily shorted companies with low share prices in a bid to strike quick riches. And, as was the case back then, it comes at a time of broad market euphoria: the S&P 500 is at an all-time high, Bitcoin has doubled in less than year and blank-cheque companies are all the rage again. 'I've been seeing signs of a 'flight to crap' recently,' said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. 'The recent rally, which was largely powered in its initial phase by individual investors buying large cap stocks and major indices, has emboldened many to engage in more risky types of investing.' The latest day-trader darling is Kohl's. The retailer's share price more than doubled at one point on July 22, coming after tech-powered home flipper Opendoor skyrocketed last week. The Campbell's Co., Aehr Test Systems, Polaris and Wendy's, which also have relatively high short interest, are also attracting buyers. Yet unlike the pandemic era, when stimulus cheques shored up household finances and Covid restrictions limited spending options, traders could face a tougher backdrop this time around. Just three months ago, stocks were plunging as President Donald Trump unveiled his new tariff plan, and many everyday Americans are still struggling under higher prices and a brutal housing market. And those who do have money to burn have no shortage of alternatives that weren't as readily available just a few years ago, from sports betting to a bevy of new crypto investment options to prediction markets like Kalshi. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed. Business Singapore's digital banks finding their niche in areas like SMEs as they narrow losses in 2024 World Trump says US will charge 19% tariff on goods from Philippines, down from 20% Singapore Two found dead after fire in Toa Payoh flat Singapore 2 foreigners arrested for shop theft at Changi Airport Opinion Most companies onboard wrong – here's how to get it right Sport AC Milan's Rafael Leao gives Singapore fan an unforgettable birthday Life Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath's bat-biting frontman turned reality TV star, dies aged 76 Singapore Ports and planes: The 2 Singapore firms helping to keep the world moving Despite all the risks, both professional and amateur traders are in full risk-on mode, leaving some experts worried about irrational exuberance creating a bubble that's destined to pop. It's a fear that's only gaining in credibility as so-called 'dumb money' floods back into risky companies with little to no profitability. 'The meme stock enthusiasm tends to overlap with crypto enthusiasm,' said Michael O'Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading. 'There's been significant crossover from the crypto market into equities, with many shell companies converting their business models into digital asset treasury companies. Now the fever is spreading to meme stocks.' FOMO market The frenzy has been building in recent weeks. The S&P 500 reached another record this week, Bitcoin remains near US$120,000, while special purpose acquisition companies, or Spacs, are having their busiest year of initial public offerings since 2021. 'New highs feed into the fear of missing out,' said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Investment Management. 'Certainly there seems to be a fair amount of liquidity blowing into the market.' Retail traders are now a key component of the US stock market, comprising 20.5 per cent of total volume. On top of that, trading activity in names priced below US$5 makes up more than 26 per cent of the overall trading volume, according to Jefferies Electronic Trading Solutions. Looming concerns Of course, piling money into shoddy equities isn't for the faint of heart. While many retail traders brag about striking it big, others tell tales of epic wipeouts. The all-or-nothing gamble was somewhat more tolerable back in 2021, when stimulus cheques from the federal government helped shore up Americans' savings and any losses could be written off as the cost of having fun. These days, the job market is weaker, interest rates are higher and mandatory student loan payments have resumed. That has some analysts predicting this meme stock rally will fade much more quickly. Others see the return of meme stocks as a natural release for investors who were spooked earlier this year by sharp market losses after Mr Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff announcement. Since he paused those rates from taking effect – ushering in the so-called TACO trade, based on the idea that 'Trump Always Chickens Out' – the equity market has seen its fastest-ever recovery from a bear-market drawdown. That's padded the wealth of investors big and small. Mr Arone at State Street draws comparisons to 1998, when financial crises in Asia and Russia rattled markets. 'It was an incredibly volatile year, yet it also ended up being a very strong year for markets,' he said. 'And I think that's where we may end up in 2025. So I'm uncomfortably bullish.' BLOOMBERG

The 5-Minute Investor Podcast, Ep. 18: Theatre stocks post-COVID - recovery, or just for show?
This content has been prepared in collaboration with Cineplex Inc. and AMC Entertainment Holdings, third-party issuers, and is intended for informational purposes only. As the world gradually reclaims its pre-pandemic rhythms, the cinema industry—once among the hardest hit—has begun to flicker back to life. For investors, this resurgence presents a compelling opportunity to reassess the prospects of two of North America's most prominent theatre chains: Cineplex Inc. (TSX:CGX)in Canada and AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC) in the United States. Cineplex: A Canadian comeback story? Cineplex, Canada's largest movie theatre operator, has shown notable signs of recovery since the pandemic's peak. In its Q4 2024 earnings, Cineplex reported: Revenue of C$362.7 million , up 15 per cent year-over-year , up 15 per cent year-over-year Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.05, a significant turnaround from a loss of -$0.14 the year prior of $0.05, a significant turnaround from a loss of -$0.14 the year prior Box office revenue per patron rose to C$13.26, while concession revenue per patron increased to C$9.41 Fast-forward to Q2 2025, the theatre chain recently reported nearly 170 per cent growth compared to last year's Q2. Attendance has steadily improved, with January 2025 box office revenue nearly matching that of January 2024, signaling a stabilization in consumer demand. Cineplex stock has responded positively. Cineplex is also diversifying. Its location-based entertainment segment and Scene+ loyalty program are helping to drive engagement beyond traditional moviegoing. A recent refinancing initiative aims to extend debt maturities and reduce equity dilution risk, setting the stage for potential dividend reinstatement. Cinepelx stock (TSX:CGX) has fallen 5.6 per cent since the year began but is up 36.54 per cent since this time last year, last trading at C$11.51. AMC Entertainment: From meme stock to market resilience AMC, the world's largest cinema chain, has had a rollercoaster ride since 2020. After surviving the pandemic with the help of retail investors during the 'meme stock' frenzy, AMC has focused on operational efficiency and strategic closures. In Q3 2023, AMC posted its best quarterly earnings in its 103-year history, driven by the massive success of films like Barbie and Oppenheimer , which grossed a combined US$2.3 billion globally. Key highlights include: Revenue of $1.4 billion , up over 45 per cent year-over-year , up over 45 per cent year-over-year Closure of 156 underperforming locations, offset by 57 new openings Rent renegotiations yielding tens of millions in annual savings Despite these gains, AMC still carries a deferred rent balance of $74.2 million and a significant debt load. However, its leaner operations and improved cash reserves suggest a more sustainable path forward. More recently, AMC's Q1 2025 numbers had total revenues of US$862.5 million compared to US$951.4 million for Q1 2024, coupled with a net loss of US$202.1 million compared to net loss of US$163.5 million in Q1 2024. CEO Adam Aron blamed it on the poor performance of the box office at large from January to March this year, which he called 'the lowest it has been since 1996' in a media release. He went on to explain, 'If that level of activity were to continue, of course it would be highly problematic for movie theatres. But to the contrary, since April 1, movie theatre demand has been booming AMC stock (NYSE:AMC) has fallen 25.88 per cent since the year began and is down 41.35 per cent since this time last year. It has seen some growth in the past three months, rising 11.74 per cent since May. AMC last traded at US$2.95 (C$ 4.01). The investment angle: A slow but steady return to the big screen Both Cineplex and AMC are navigating a transformed entertainment landscape. While streaming remains a formidable competitor, the enduring appeal of the theatrical experience—especially for blockbuster releases—continues to draw audiences back. Cineplex offers a more traditional recovery play with a focus on operational diversification and financial restructuring. AMC, on the other hand, presents a higher-risk, higher-reward scenario, buoyed by its brand recognition and aggressive cost-cutting. The cinema industry's revival is far from complete, but the trajectory is promising. As attendance rebounds and studios ramp up content pipelines, both Cineplex and AMC are working out a way to benefit. Investors should dig deeper—analyzing debt levels, content slates, and evolving consumer behavior—to determine which stock best fits their portfolio. Whether you're drawn to Cineplex's steady Canadian comeback or AMC's bold American reinvention, the curtain is rising on a new act in theatrical investing.
