AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Announces Elimination of $40 Million of Debt

  • $40 million cancellation of Senior Secured Exchangeable Notes due 2030 is a component of the collaborative agreement with creditors announced in July 2025
  • No incremental AMC common shares issued and no cash utilized for the $40 million debt elimination
  • This brings the total reduction in exchangeable debt associated with the July 2025 agreement to $183 million

LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) (“AMC” or “the Company”) today announced that as part of the comprehensive refinancing transactions completed earlier this year, AMC reduced the principal amount of its Senior Secured Exchangeable Notes due 2030 by an additional $39.9 million with no additional AMC common shares issued or cash used. This additional $39.9 million debt reduction represents the maximum post-closing adjustment under the July 2025 transaction.

Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC, commented, “This debt reduction of nearly $40 million, on top of the $143 million of debt equitized earlier this year, highlights our success to date in strengthening the balance sheet to position AMC to prosper as the box office continues along its recovery trajectory. The ability to eliminate additional debt, based on AMC’s share price, was built into our consensual agreement with creditors in July and as a result no additional cash or additional shares were issued.”

Aron concluded, “Today’s announcement reinforces our commitment to an increasingly stronger, smarter, and more resilient AMC. But we are not yet done. We will continue to relentlessly take steps to enhance our balance sheet so that we are increasingly well positioned as the box office recovery continues. With 2025 well on pace to be the strongest box office in five years and an even stronger film slate scheduled for 2026, we have an extraordinary backdrop for AMC’s ongoing recovery.”
