AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Announces Results of Tender Offer, the Closing of First Lien Notes Offering and New Term Loan Facilities Totaling a $3.97 Billion Refinancing of Existing Debt

Debt Maturities Extended to 2031 and 2033LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$AMC--AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) (the “Company” or “AMC”) announced today that it has successfully completed its previously announced refinancing of $3.97 billion of its existing debt, including the offering of $2,000 million aggregate principal amount of first lien notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) in a private offering (the “Offering”), borrowing of a new $850 million first lien term loan facility (the “New 1L Term Loan Facility”) and a new second lien term loan facility provided by Deutsche Bank Special Situations Group in an aggregate principal amount of $1,120 million (the “New 2L Term Loan Facility” and together with the New 1L Term Loan Facility, the “New Term Loan Facilities”). The Notes and New Term Loan Facilities are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Muvico, LLC (“Muvico”), Odeon Cinemas Group Limited (“OCGL”) and certain subsidiaries of OCGL. The net proceeds from the Offering, together with the proceeds from the New Term Loan Facilities and cash on hand, have been and will be used to (i) fund the previously announced tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) of the Company’s outstanding 7.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “AMC Secured Notes”) which settled concurrently with the Offering, (ii) fund the redemption (the “Redemption”) on or about February 15, 2027 of any AMC Secured Notes that were not tendered or accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer, (iii) fund the previously announced redemption in full of Muvico’s $903.4 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2029, (iv) repay in full the Company’s existing term loan facility, (v) repay in full the existing term loan facility of Odeon Finco PLC, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of OCGL and an indirect subsidiary of AMC, and (vi) pay related fees, costs, premiums and expenses in connection with such transactions. Commenting on the closing of the Offering and the New Term Loan Facilities, AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron said, “This transaction marks for all to plainly see a significant milestone for AMC. With this now-completed comprehensive refinancing of approximately 97% of our debt, we have materially extended almost all our debt maturities until October of 2031 and October of 2033, simplified our capital structure and reduced our cost of capital. AMC is now well positioned to thrive, as we welcome millions and millions of guests each and every week to our theatres throughout the world.” Aron continued, “The bold and creative capital markets actions we have implemented in recent years, paired with a resurgent box office and our impressive operating performance, have resulted in a substantial reduction in financial leverage and a stronger balance sheet. Recent corporate or instrument credit ratings upgrades, by all three major credit rating agencies, clearly reflect AMC’s considerable progress on this score.” Aron highlighted, “It is so immensely satisfying to us how deftly AMC has navigated these uncharted waters of the past six-plus years. Since 2020, AMC has paid down a total of nearly $2 billion of our long-term debt and COVID-related lease deferrals and has extended the maturity of what is in our view a manageable remaining debt-load of approximately $4 billion to 2031 and 2033. This is nothing less than a triumph for AMC.” Aron added, “We extend sincere thanks to all of our lenders, most notably Deutsche Bank Special Situations Group for their participation in this ambitious transaction. Our investment banking partners, particularly including Wells Fargo Securities, Deutsche Bank Securities, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and our advisors, including Moelis & Company LLC and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP who have for years now brilliantly showcased their unique skills. Additionally, their confidence, support, and commitment to AMC have been crucial to the demonstrable progress that AMC has made in the tumultuous times of the past several years.” Aron added, “This all has taken place against the backdrop of an increasingly robust box office, including an all-time record third quarter North American box office. Looking ahead, we are highly optimistic as well about our prospects for the remainder of this year. An exciting film slate awaits us, especially including the December releases of DUNE: PART THREE and AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY, promising to close 2026 on a high note and carry that 2026 momentum into 2027.” Aron concluded, “A growing box office, a more efficient balance sheet, combined with disciplined execution on our part, position AMC to capitalize on the significant operating leverage inherent in our business. With continued box office growth and successful execution of our strategy, we firmly expect AMC to considerably expand EBITDA, improve free cash flow and deliver meaningful long-term value for our stakeholders.” The Notes and related guarantees were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S.
