NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2024

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively with Holdings, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” or “AMC”), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates, or has interests in theatres located in the United States and Europe. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2023. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company manages its business under two reportable segments for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10–Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reverse Stock Split. On August 24, 2023, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) for every ten shares of Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, each share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock became convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, and by extension each AMC Preferred Equity Unit became equivalent to one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. The Company concluded that this change in conversion ratio is analogous to a reverse stock split of the AMC Preferred Equity Units even though the reverse stock split did not have an effect on the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding.

Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, unit, per unit, or common share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on their equivalent Common Stock shares. On August 25, 2023, all of the Company’s outstanding AMC Preferred Equity Units converted into shares of Common Stock.

8

Liquidity. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its operations and satisfy its obligations currently and through the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was subject to a minimum liquidity requirement of $100.0 million as a condition to the financial covenant suspension period under the Credit Agreement. As of April 19, 2024, and in anticipation of the maturity of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the Company voluntarily terminated the commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility in full and paid off any remaining obligations with respect to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The financial covenants and related covenant suspension conditions are no longer in effect pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The termination of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility does not otherwise affect the senior secured term loan facility under the Credit Agreement. The Company currently does not expect to replace the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $9.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has entered into a new letter of credit facility in order to continue to provide letters of credit in the ordinary course of business following the termination of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company’s cash burn rates are not sustainable long-term. In order to achieve sustainable net positive operating cash flows and long-term profitability, the Company believes that operating revenues will need to increase to levels in line with pre-COVID-19 operating revenues. North American box office grosses were down approximately 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. Until such time as the Company is able to achieve sustainable net positive operating cash flow, it is difficult to estimate the Company’s future cash burn rates and liquidity requirements. Depending on the Company’s assumptions regarding the timing and ability to achieve increased levels of operating revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly.

There can be no assurance that the operating revenues, attendance levels, and other assumptions used to estimate the Company’s liquidity requirements and future cash burn rates will be correct, and the ability to be predictive is uncertain due to limited ability to predict studio film release dates, the overall production and theatrical release levels, and success of individual titles. Additionally, the effects of labor stoppages, including but not limited to the Writers Guild of America strike and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike that occurred during 2023 cannot be reasonably estimated and have had, and are expected to continue to have, a negative impact in 2024 on the film slate for exhibition, the Company’s future liquidity and cash burn rates. Further, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating the additional liquidity necessary to meet the Company’s obligations beyond twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

The Company expects, from time to time, to continue to seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as it may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, its liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material and to the extent equity is used, dilutive.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company executed a debt for equity exchange transaction. This transaction was treated as an early extinguishment of the debt. In accordance with ASC 470-50-40-3 the reacquisition price of the extinguished debt was determined to be the fair value of the Common Stock exchanged. The below table summarizes the debt for equity exchange. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities and Note 7—Stockholders’ Deficit.

			Shares of
	Aggregate Principal		Common Stock		Gain on		Accrued Interest
(In millions, except for share data)	Exchanged		Exchanged		Extinguishment		Exchanged
Second Lien Notes due 2026	$	17.5		2,541,250	$	5.8	$	0.1

Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents for the U.S. markets and International markets were $511.0 million and $113.2 million respectively, and as of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $752.3 million and $132.0 million, respectively.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash includes cash held in the Company’s bank accounts as a guarantee for certain landlords and cash collateralized letters of credit relating to the Company’s insurance and utilities programs. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total of the amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

As of March 31, 2024, restricted cash for the U.S. markets and International markets were $10.1 million and $26.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, restricted cash for the U.S. markets and International markets were $0 and $27.1 million, respectively.

NOTE 2—LEASES

The Company leases theatres and equipment under operating and finance leases. The Company typically does not believe that exercise of the renewal options is reasonably certain at the lease commencement and, therefore, considers the initial base term as the lease term. Lease terms vary but generally the leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals, contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index or other indexes not to exceed certain specified amounts and variable rentals based on a percentage of revenues. The Company often receives contributions from landlords for renovations at existing locations. The Company records the amounts received from landlords as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and amortizes the balance as a reduction to rent expense over the base term of the lease agreement. Equipment leases primarily consist of sight and sound and food and beverage equipment.

Less imputed interest		(2,242.0)		(28.2)
Total operating and finance lease liabilities, respectively	$	4,393.9	$	53.2

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had signed additional operating lease agreements for two theatres that have not yet commenced. These leases have terms ranging from 15 to 20 years and total lease payments of approximately $59.5 million. The timing of the lease commencement is dependent on the landlord providing the Company with control and access to the related facility.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received a $13.0 million buyout incentive from a landlord which provided the landlord the right to terminate the lease of one theatre. The incentive was treated as a reduction to rent expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(1) Represents the carrying amount of the National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”) common units that were previously received under the annual Common Unit Adjustment (“CUA”) and subsequent adjustments related to the NCM bankruptcy, as discussed in greater detail below. The deferred revenues are being amortized to other theatre revenues over the remainder of the 30-year term of the Exhibitor Service Agreement (“ESA”) ending in February 2037.

NCM Bankruptcy. On April 11, 2023, NCM filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Texas. NCM is the in-theatre advertising provider for the majority of the Company’s theatres in the United States. Under the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which became effective on August 7, 2023 (the “Plan”), NCM has assumed its agreements with the Company. As part of the Plan, on August 7, 2023, NCM issued 16,581,829 common units (“NCM Common Units”) that were owed to the Company as part of the annual common unit adjustment. But under the terms of the Plan and the restructuring of the equity of NCM thereunder, the NCM Common Units were immediately cancelled upon the efficacy of the Plan. The Company has filed appeals with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, objecting to, among other things, certain terms of the Plan, including modification of the terms of the exhibitor services agreement with other parties that were not granted to the Company and appeal of the court’s order to approve cancellation of the NCM Common Unit issuance. The Company does not expect its bankruptcy to have a material impact on the Company.

Gift Cards and Exchange Tickets. The total amount of non-redeemed gift cards and exchange tickets included in deferred revenues and income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 was $299.4 million. This will be recognized as revenues as the gift cards and exchange tickets are redeemed or as the non-redeemed gift card and exchange ticket revenues are recognized in proportion to the pattern of actual redemptions, which is estimated to occur over the next 24 months.

Loyalty Programs. As of March 31, 2024, the amount of deferred revenues allocated to the loyalty programs included in deferred revenues and income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet was $73.3 million. The earned points will be recognized as revenue as the points are redeemed, which is estimated to occur over the next 24 months. Subscription membership fees and loyalty membership fees are recognized ratably over their respective membership periods.

The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Financial Covenants

As of March 31, 2024, the Company was subject to a minimum liquidity requirement of $100.0 million as a condition to the financial covenant suspension period under the Credit Agreement. As of April 19, 2024, and in anticipation of the maturity of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the Company voluntarily terminated the commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility in full and paid off any remaining obligations with respect to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The financial covenants and related covenant suspension conditions are no longer in effect pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The termination of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility does not otherwise affect the senior secured term loan facility under the Credit Agreement. The Company currently does not expect to replace the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

NOTE 7—STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Reverse Stock Split

On August 24, 2023, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, each share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock became convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, and by extension each AMC Preferred Equity Unit became equivalent to one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. The Company concluded that this change in conversion ratio is analogous to a reverse stock split of the AMC Preferred Equity Units even though the reverse stock split did not have an effect on the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding.

18

Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, unit, per unit, or common share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on their equivalent Common Stock shares. On August 25, 2023, all of the Company’s outstanding AMC Preferred Equity Units converted into shares of Common Stock.

Share Issuances

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $80.3 million and paid fees to a sales agent and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $2.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively, through its at-the-market offering of approximately 4.9 million shares of its AMC Preferred Equity Units. The Company paid $6.8 million of other third-party issuance costs during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Antara Transactions

On December 22, 2022, the Company entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement with Antara pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) sell to Antara 10,659,511 AMC Preferred Equity Units for an aggregate purchase price of $75.1 million and (ii) simultaneously purchase from Antara $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10%/12% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes due 2026 in exchange for 9,102,619 AMC Preferred Equity Units. On February 7, 2023, the Company issued 19,762,130 AMC Preferred Equity Units to Antara in exchange for $75.1 million in cash and $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10%/12% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes due 2026. The Company recorded $193.7 million to stockholders’ deficit as a result of the transaction. The Company paid $1.4 million of accrued interest in cash upon exchange of the notes.

AMC Preferred Equity Units

Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit was a depositary share and represented an interest in a share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock evidenced by a depositary receipt pursuant to a deposit agreement. Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit was designed to have the same economic and voting rights as a share of Common Stock. On August 25, 2023, all outstanding AMC Preferred Equity Units were converted to Common Stock. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has 50,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock available for issuance.

Stock-Based Compensation

The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense recorded within general and administrative: other:

	Three Months Ended

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	4.3	$	25.9

As of March 31, 2024, the estimated remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation grants was approximately $10.9 million, which reflects assumptions related to attainment of performance targets based on the scales as described below. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.1 years.

19

Special Awards

On February 22, 2024, the compensation committee of AMC’s Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved modification of the performance goals applicable to all 2023 Tranche Year PSU awards. This was accounted for as a modification to the 2023 Tranche Year PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that 200% vesting was achieved for both targets. This modification resulted in the immediate additional vesting of 478,055 2023 Trance Year PSUs (21,829 cash settled units and 456,226 equity settled units). This was treated as a Type 3 modification (improbable-to-probable) which required the Company to recognize additional stock compensation expense based on the modification date fair values of the incremental PSUs. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $2.1 million of stock compensation expense related to these awards.

On February 23, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved special awards in lieu of vesting of the 2022 Tranche Year PSU awards. The special awards were accounted for as modification to the 2022 Tranche Year PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that 200% vesting was achieved for both targets. This modification resulted in the immediate additional vesting of 238,959 Common Stock PSUs and 238,959 AMC Preferred Equity Unit PSUs. This was treated as a Type 3 modification (improbable-to-probable) which requires the Company to recognize additional stock compensation expense based on the modification date fair values of the Common Stock PSUs and AMC Preferred Equity Units PSUs of $14.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $20.2 million of stock compensation expense related to these awards.

Awards Granted in 2024

Performance Stock Unit Awards: In 2023 and 2022 the Compensation Committee awarded PSUs to certain members of management and executive officers, with the PSUs divided into three separate year tranches, with each tranche allocated to a fiscal year with the performance period (“Tranche Year”). The PSUs within each Tranche Year are further divided between two performance targets: the Adjusted EBITDA performance target and the free cash flow performance target. The PSUs will vest if 80% to 120% of the performance targets are attained, with the corresponding vested unit amount ranging from 50% to 200% of the PSUs awarded. No PSUs will vest for each Tranche Year if the Company does not achieve 80% of the Tranche Year’s Adjusted EBITDA or free cash flow targets.

The Compensation Committee establishes the annual performance targets at the beginning of each year. Therefore, the grant date (and fair value measurement date) for each Tranche Year is the date at the beginning of each year when a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions are reached per ASC 718, Compensation – Stock compensation.

The equity classified 2023 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2024 Tranche Year award of 105,357 units was $0.5 million and the equity classified 2022 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2024 Tranche Year award of 44,081 units was $0.2 million, measured using performance targets at 100%.

Liability Classified Awards

Certain PSUs are expected to be settled in cash and accordingly have been classified as liabilities within accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liability classified 2023 and 2022 PSU awards for the 2024 Tranche Year were also granted when the annual performance targets were set. The vesting requirements and vesting periods are identical to the equity classified awards described above. The Company recognizes expenses related to these awards based on the fair value of the Common Stock shares, giving effect to the portion of services rendered during the requisite services period.

As of March 31, 2024, there were 58,101 nonvested underlying Common Stock RSUs and PSUs related to awards classified as liabilities. There are 43,524 nonvested underlying Common Stock RSUs and PSUs (2024 Tranche Year) that are currently classified as liabilities and 14,577 nonvested underlying Common Stock PSUs (2025 Tranche Year) which have not been granted for accounting purposes as the performance targets for the 2025 PSU Tranche Years have yet to be established.

The Company’s worldwide effective income tax rate is based on actual income (loss), statutory rates, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company is using a discrete income tax calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent labor stoppages on the industry. Historically, for interim financial reporting, the Company estimated the worldwide annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income (loss) for the full year and recorded a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. The Company will return to the historic approach of computing quarterly tax expense based on an annual effective rate in the future interim period when more reliable estimates of annual income become available. The Company recognizes income tax-related interest expense and penalties as income tax expense and general and administrative expense, respectively.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has issued model rules, which generally provide for a jurisdictional minimum effective tax rate of 15.0%. Various countries have or are in the process of enacting legislation intended to implement the principles effective January 1, 2024. The Company’s adoption of the OECD's global tax reform is not expected to have a material impact on its 2024 income tax expense.

The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets each period to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is “more likely than not” that some portion of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods on a federal, state, and foreign jurisdiction basis. The Company conducts its evaluation by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and the outlooks for the U.S. motion picture and broader economy, among others.

A valuation allowance is recorded against the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and most of the Company’s international deferred tax assets as the Company has determined the realization of these assets does not meet the more likely than not criteria.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, reflects the impact of these valuation allowances against U.S. and international deferred tax assets generated during the period. The actual effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was (1.1)%. The Company’s consolidated tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowances in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, foreign tax rate differences, federal and state tax credits, permanent differences and other discrete items.

NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1:	Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:	Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024:

			Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2024 Using
							Significant
	Total Carrying		Quoted prices in		Significant other		unobservable
	Value at		active market		observable inputs		inputs
(In millions)	March 31, 2024		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Other long-term assets:
Investment in Hycroft warrants	$	2.8	$	—	$	—	$	2.8
Marketable equity securities:
Investment in Hycroft		5.2		5.2		—		—
Total assets at fair value	$	8.0	$	5.2	$	—	$	2.8

Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

			Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2024 Using
					Significant other		Significant
	Total Carrying		Quoted prices in		observable		unobservable
	Value at		active market		inputs		inputs
(In millions)	March 31, 2024		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Current maturities of corporate borrowings	$	25.0	$	—	$	21.6	$	—
Corporate borrowings		4,518.0		—		3,510.8		—

Valuation Technique. Quoted market prices and observable market-based inputs were used to estimate fair value for Level 2 inputs. The Company valued these notes at principal value less an estimated discount reflecting a market yield to maturity. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

NOTE 10—OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company reports information about operating segments in accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, which requires financial information to be reported based on the way management organizes segments within a company for making operating decisions and evaluating performance. The Company has identified two reportable segments and reporting units for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets. The International markets reportable segment has operations in or partial interest in theatres in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark. The Company sold its interest in Saudi Arabia in January 2023. See Note 5—Investments for further information. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions, food and beverage sales and other ancillary revenues, primarily screen advertising, loyalty membership fees, ticket sales, gift card income and exchange ticket income. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the reconciliation table below. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance of or allocate resources between segments.

Below is a breakdown of select financial information by reportable operating segment:

	Three Months Ended
Revenues (In millions)	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
U.S. markets	$	689.1	$	704.5
International markets		262.3		249.9
Total revenues	$	951.4	$	954.4

	Three Months Ended

U.S. markets	$	(27.6)	$	10.9
International markets		(4.0)		(3.8)
Total Adjusted EBITDA (1)	$	(31.6)	$	7.1

(1) The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and to include attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in International markets and any cash distributions of earnings from its other equity method investees. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, which is broadly consistent with how Adjusted EBITDA is defined in the Company’s debt indentures.

(1) For information regarding the income tax provision, see Note 8—Income Taxes.

(2) Amounts represent preopening expense related to temporarily closed screens under renovation, theatre and other closure expense for the permanent closure of screens, including the related accretion of interest, disposition of assets and other non-operating gains or losses included in operating expenses. The Company has excluded these items as they are non-cash in nature or are non-operating in nature.

(3) Includes U.S. non-theatre distributions from equity method investments and International non-theatre distributions from equity method investments to the extent received. The Company believes including cash distributions is an appropriate reflection of the contribution of these investments to the Company’s operations.

(4) Attributable EBITDA includes the EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operators in certain International markets. See below for a reconciliation of the Company’s equity in loss of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments in theatre operators are in regions where the Company holds a significant market share, the Company believes attributable EBITDA is more indicative of the performance of these equity investments and management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate these equity investments. The Company also provides services to these theatre operators including information technology systems, certain on-screen advertising services and the Company’s gift card and package ticket program.

Investment expense (income) during the three months ended March 31, 2023 included deterioration in estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in common shares of Hycroft of $2.3 million, deterioration in estimated fair value of the Company's investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft of $2.3 million, and a $(15.5) million gain on the sale of the Company’s investment in Saudi Cinema Company, LLC, and interest income of $(2.3) million.

(6) Other expense (income) during the three months ended March 31, 2024, includes a vendor dispute settlement of $(36.2) million, foreign currency transaction losses of $3.2 million and gains on debt extinguishment of $(5.8) million.

Other expense (income) during the three months ended March 31, 2023, included a non-cash litigation contingency charge of $116.6 million, partially offset by foreign currency transaction gains of $(8.7) million and gains on debt extinguishment of $(65.1) million.

(7) Reflects amortization expense for certain intangible assets reclassified from depreciation and amortization to rent expense due to the adoption of ASC 842, Leases and deferred rent benefit related to the impairment of right-of-use operating lease assets.

(8) Merger, acquisition and other costs are excluded as they are non-operating in nature.

(9) Non-cash or non-recurring expense included in general and administrative: other.

NOTE 11—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including food and beverage suppliers and film distributors), landlords, competitors, and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters discussed below, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur. An unfavorable outcome might include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods.

On April 22, 2019, a putative stockholder class and derivative complaint, captioned Lao v. Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd., et al., C.A. No. 2019-0303-JRS (the “Lao Action”), was filed against certain of the Company’s directors, Wanda, two of Wanda’s affiliates, Silver Lake, and one of Silver Lake’s affiliates in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Lao Action asserted claims directly, on behalf of a putative class of Company stockholders, and derivatively, on behalf of the Company, for breaches of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty with respect to transactions that the Company entered into with affiliates of Wanda and Silver Lake on September 14, 2018, and the special cash dividend of $1.55 per share of Common Stock that was payable on September 28, 2018 to the Company’s stockholders of record as of September 25, 2018. On June 6, 2022, the parties signed a stipulation of settlement to resolve the Lao Action for $17.4 million (the “Settlement Amount”). Defendants agreed to the settlement and the payment of the Settlement Amount solely to eliminate the burden, expense, and uncertainty of further litigation, and continue to expressly deny any liability or wrongdoing with respect to the matters alleged in the Lao Action. On November 30, 2022, the court issued an order and final judgment approving the settlement and dismissing the action. The order and final judgment included a fee and expense award to plaintiff’s counsel in the amount of $3.4 million to be paid out of the Settlement Amount. On January 6, 2023, the remainder of the Settlement Amount of $14.0 million was paid to the Company. The Company recorded the settlement as a gain in other income during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

On February 20, 2023, two putative stockholder class actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Allegheny County Employees’ Retirement System v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., et al., C.A No. 2023-0215-MTZ (Del. Ch.) (the “Allegheny Action”), and Munoz v Adam M. Aron, et al., C.A. No. 2023-0216-MTZ (Del. Ch.) (the “Munoz Action”) and which have been subsequently consolidated into In re AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Stockholder Litigation C.A. No. 2023-0215-MTZ (Del. Ch.) (the “Shareholder Litigation”). The Allegheny Action asserted a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against certain of the Company’s directors and a claim for breach of 8 Del. C. § 242 against those directors and the Company, arising out of the Company’s creation of the APEs, the Antara Transactions, and the Charter Amendments. The Munoz Action, which was filed by the stockholders who had previously made demands to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220, asserted a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the Company’s current directors and former director Lee Wittlinger, arising out of the same conduct challenged in the Allegheny Action. The Allegheny Action sought a declaration that the issuance of the APEs violated 8 Del. C. § 242(b), an order that holders of the Company’s Common Stock be provided with a separate vote from the holders of the APEs on the Charter Amendments or that the APEs be enjoined from voting on the Charter Amendments, and an award of money damages. The Munoz Action sought to enjoin the APEs from voting on the Charter Amendments.

On February 27, 2023, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered a status quo order that allowed the March 14, 2023 vote on the Charter Amendments to proceed, but precluded the Company from implementing the Charter Amendments pending a ruling by the court on the plaintiffs’ then-anticipated preliminary injunction motion (the “Status Quo Order”).

On April 2, 2023, the parties entered into a binding settlement term sheet to settle the Shareholder Litigation, which among other things, provided that the parties would jointly request that the Status Quo Order be lifted. Pursuant to the term sheet, the Company agreed, following and subject to AMC’s completion of the Conversion and Reverse Stock Split, to make a non-cash settlement payment to record holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Conversion (and after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split) of one share of Common Stock for every 7.5 shares of Common Stock owned by such record holders. The Company’s obligation to make the Settlement Payment was

29

contingent on the Status Quo Order being lifted and the Company effecting the Charter Amendments. The defendants agreed to the settlement and the payment of the Settlement Payment solely to eliminate the burden, expense, and uncertainty of further litigation, and continue to expressly deny any liability or wrongdoing with respect to the matters alleged in the Shareholder Litigation. On April 3, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion to lift the Status Quo Order, but on April 5, 2023, the court denied the motion to lift the Status Quo Order.

On April 27, 2023, the parties jointly filed a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement, and Release (the “Settlement Stipulation”) with the court, which fully memorialized the settlement that the parties agreed to in the term sheet. On June 29–30, 2023, the court held a settlement hearing to consider whether to approve the settlement as outlined in the Settlement Stipulation.

On July 21, 2023, the court issued an opinion which, citing issues with the scope of the release sought under the proposed settlement, declined to approve the settlement as presented. On July 22, 2023, the parties filed an addendum to the Settlement Stipulation in an effort to address the issues with the scope of the release raised by the court and requested that the court approve the settlement with the revised release set forth in the addendum.

On August 11, 2023, the court approved the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation and lifted the Status Quo Order. On August 14, 2023, the Company filed the amendment to its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, effective as of August 24, 2023, which was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting held on March 14, 2023 to implement the Charter Amendments. The Reverse Stock Split occurred on August 24, 2023, the conversion of APEs into Common Stock occurred on August 25, 2023, and the Settlement Payment was made on August 28, 2023. On September 15, 2023, the Court entered an order dismissing the Shareholder Litigation in its entirety and with prejudice. On October 13, 2023, a purported Company stockholder who objected to the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s order approving the settlement. As of January 26, 2024, the appeal was fully briefed before the Delaware Supreme Court and oral arguments on the appeal will be held on May 8, 2024.

In connection with the Shareholder Litigation, the Company recorded a $126.6 million charge to other expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The charge was based on an estimated fair value for the Settlement Payment of $116.6 million and estimated legal fees, net of probable insurance recoveries of $10.0 million as of March 31, 2023. The Company made the Settlement Payment on August 28, 2023, and recorded the disbursement to stockholders’ deficit. The final value of the Settlement Payment was $99.3 million.

On August 14, 2023, a putative class action on behalf of APE holders, captioned Simons v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., C.A. No. 2023-0835-MTZ (the “Simons Action”), was filed against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Simons Action asserts claims for a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, and breach of contract, and alleges that the Settlement Payment in the Shareholder Litigation violates the Certificate of Designations that governed the APEs prior to the conversion of the APEs into Common Stock. On September 12, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On December 26, 2023, plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which added a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On February 16, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The motion to dismiss is scheduled for oral argument on October 2, 2024.

On May 4, 2023, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware against seventeen insurers participating in its directors & officers insurance program, seeking recovery for losses incurred in connection with its defense and settlement of the Shareholder Litigation, including the Settlement Payment. The insurance recovery action is captioned, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. v. XL Specialty Insurance Co., et al., Case No. N23C-05-045 AML CCLD (Del. Super. May 4, 2023) (the “Coverage Action”). In the suit, AMC seeks up to $80 million in coverage under its Executive and Corporate Securities Liability Insurance Policies sold by the defendants, which provide coverage for the policy period of January 1, 2022, through January 1, 2023 (the “Policies”) in excess of a $10 million deductible. The primary insurer in the Coverage Action has paid its full $5 million limit. The remainder of the insurers contest whether they owe coverage for the Settlement Payment, claiming it does not constitute a “Loss” under their insurance policies. AMC may have claims for coverage from additional insurers as well, however, those insurers’ policies contain mandatory arbitration provisions, so they have not been included in the Coverage Action.

On October 6, 2023, an action captioned Mathew, et al. v. Citigroup Global Markets, et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-12302-FDS (the “Mathew Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The Mathew Action names the Company as a nominal defendant. On November 16, 2023, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On

30

January 9, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On January 11, 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. On January 24, 2024, the Company filed an opposition to plaintiff’s motion for leave to file a second amended complaint.

On December 18, 2023, an action captioned Miller, et al. v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. et al., C.A. No. 2023-1259-LM (Del. Ch.) (the “Miller Action”), was filed against the Company and two of its officers in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Plaintiffs in the Miller Action seek to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 in order to investigate allegations concerning alleged manipulation of the Company’s Common Stock. On February 7, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation dismissing the Company’s two officers from the action. On April 17, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation dismissing the Miller Action with prejudice.

NOTE 12—LOSS PER SHARE

On August 24, 2023, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, each share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock became convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, and by extension each AMC Preferred Equity Unit became equivalent to one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. The Company concluded that this change in conversion ratio is analogous to a reverse stock split of the AMC Preferred Equity Units even though the reverse stock split did not have an effect on the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding.

Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, unit, per unit, or common share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on their equivalent Common Stock shares.

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effects of unvested RSUs with a service condition only and unvested contingently issuable PSUs that have service and performance conditions, if dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share:

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
Numerator:
Net loss for basic and diluted loss per share	$	(163.5)	$	(235.5)
Denominator (shares in thousands):
Weighted average shares for basic loss per common share		263,411		137,395
Basic and diluted loss per common share	$	(0.62)	$	(1.71)

Vested RSUs and PSUs have dividend rights identical to the Company’s Common Stock and are treated as outstanding shares for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share.

Unvested RSUs of 271,738 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they would be anti-dilutive. Unvested RSUs of 531,957 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they would be anti-dilutive.

Unvested PSUs are subject to performance conditions and are included in diluted earnings per share, if dilutive, based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the award agreements if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Unvested PSUs of 149,080 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they would not be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period or they would be anti-dilutive. Unvested PSUs of 297,829 at certain performance targets for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they would not be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period or they would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 13—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Share Issuance. Through the date of this filing, the Company has received gross proceeds of approximately $103.5 million through its at-the-market offering of approximately 32.0 million shares of its Common Stock and paid fees to the sales agents of approximately $2.6 million.

Termination of Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of April 19, 2024, and in anticipation of the maturity of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has voluntarily terminated the commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility in full and paid off any remaining obligations with respect to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolver Payoff”). Immediately from and after the Revolver Payoff, the financial covenant that required, in certain circumstances, compliance with a certain secured leverage ratio and the related covenant suspension conditions are no longer in effect pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The termination of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility does not otherwise affect the senior secured term loan facility under the Credit Agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “should,” “believe” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions and speak only as of the date on which it is made. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements we make regarding future attendance levels, operating revenues and our liquidity. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

● the risks and uncertainties relating to the sufficiency of our existing cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity, including following the termination of our senior secured revolving credit facility (“Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility”), to fund operations, and satisfy obligations including cash outflows for deferred rent and planned capital expenditures currently and through the next twelve months. In order to achieve net positive operating cash flows and long-term profitability, operating revenues will need to increase from current levels to levels in line with pre-COVID-19 operating revenues. However, there remain significant risks that may negatively impact operating revenues and attendance levels, including changes to movie studios release schedules (including as a result of production delays and delays to the release of movies caused by labor stoppages, including but not limited to the Writers Guild of America strike and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike that occurred during 2023, which has and is expected to negatively impact the box office during the first half of 2024) and direct to streaming or other changing movie studio practices. If we are unable to achieve increased levels of attendance and operating revenues, we will be required to obtain additional liquidity. If such additional liquidity is not obtained or insufficient, we likely would seek an in-court or out-of-court restructuring of our liabilities, and in the event of such future liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, holders of our Common Stock and other securities would likely suffer a total loss of their investment;

Overview

AMC is the world’s largest theatrical exhibition company and an industry leader in innovation and operational excellence. As of March 31, 2024, we operated theatres in 11 countries throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Our theatrical exhibition revenues are generated primarily from box office admissions and food and beverage sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary sources, including on-screen advertising, fees earned from our customer loyalty programs, rental of theatre auditoriums, income from gift card and exchange ticket sales, theatrical distribution, retail popcorn sales, and online ticketing fees. As of March 31, 2024, we owned, operated or had interests in 895 theatres and 10,005 screens.

Box Office Admissions and Film Content

Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license theatrical films from distributors owned by major film production companies and from independent distributors on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Film exhibition costs are based on a share of admissions revenues and are accrued based on estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. These licenses typically state that rental fees are based on the box office performance of each film, though in certain circumstances and less frequently, our rental fees are based on a mutually agreed settlement rate that is fixed. In some European territories, film rental fees are established on a weekly basis and some licenses use a per capita agreement instead of a revenue share, paying a flat amount per ticket.

Our revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor’s films in any given year. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year based on the timing and popularity of film releases.

Significant Events—For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Debt for Equity Exchange. During January 2024, we executed a debt for equity exchange transaction. This transaction was treated as an early extinguishment of the debt. In accordance with ASC 470-50-40-3, the reacquisition price of the extinguished debt was determined to be the fair value of the Common Stock exchanged. The below table summarizes the debt for equity exchange that occurred during January 2024:

			Shares of
	Aggregate Principal		Common Stock		Gain on		Accrued Interest
(In millions, except for share data)	Exchanged		Exchanged		Extinguishment		Exchanged
Second Lien Notes due 2026	$	17.5		2,541,250	$	5.8	$	0.1

Vendor Dispute. On January 26, 2024, we executed an agreement to collect $37.5 million as resolution of a dispute with a vendor. The proceeds, net of legal costs, were recorded to other income during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The relationship with the vendor has been restored and remains in good standing.

Significant Events—For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Saudi Cinema Company. On December 30, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell our 10.0% investment in Saudi Cinema Company, LLC for SAR 112.5 million ($30.0 million), subject to certain closing conditions. On January 24, 2023, the Saudi Ministry of Commerce recorded a sale of equity and we received the proceeds on January 25, 2023. We recorded a gain on the sale of $15.5 million in investment income during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Debt Repurchases. The below table summarizes the cash debt repurchase transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2023, including related party transactions with Antara.

Additional Share Issuances Antara. On December 22, 2022, we entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Antara pursuant to which we agreed to (i) sell to Antara 10,659,511 AMC Preferred Equity Units for an aggregate purchase price of $75.1 million and (ii) simultaneously purchase from Antara $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10%/12% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes due 2026 in exchange for 9,102,619 AMC Preferred Equity Units. On February 7, 2023, the Company issued 19,762,130 AMC Preferred Equity Units to Antara in exchange for $75.1 million in cash and $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10%/12% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes due 2026. The Company recorded $193.7 million to stockholders’ deficit as a result of the transaction. We paid $1.4 million of accrued interest in cash upon exchange of the notes.

Share Issuances. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $80.3 million and paid fees to a sales agent and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $2.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively, through our at-the-market offering of approximately 4.9 million shares of our AMC Preferred Equity Units. The Company paid $6.8 million of other third-party issuance costs during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

37

Special Awards. On February 23, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved special awards in lieu of vesting of the 2022 PSU awards. The special awards were accounted for as a modification to the 2022 Tranche Year PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that 200% vesting was achieved for both tranches. This modification resulted in the immediate additional vesting of 238,959 Common Stock PSUs and 238,959 AMC Preferred Equity Unit PSUs. This was treated as a Type 3 modification (improbable-to-probable) which required the Company to recognize additional stock compensation expense based on the modification date fair values of the Common Stock PSUs and AMC Preferred Equity Units PSUs of $14.9 million and $5.3 million respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized $20.2 million of additional stock compensation expense.

Lease Termination. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received a $13.0 million buyout incentive from a landlord which provided the landlord the right to terminate the lease of one theatre. The incentive and termination gain resulted in a $16.7 million reduction to rent expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and to include attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in International markets and any cash distributions of earnings from other equity method investees. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. The preceding definition of and adjustments made to GAAP measures to determine Adjusted EBITDA are broadly consistent with Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Company’s debt indentures.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of operating performance (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and estimate our value.

Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

● does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

● does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

● does not reflect the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

● excludes income tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; and

● does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. markets was $(27.6) million compared to $10.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases, increases in rent expense due to a prior year rent credit for a theatre termination, decreases in legal settlement income, increases in general and administrative expenses and increases in operating expenses related to an increase in expected general liability and workers compensation costs compared to the prior year. These declines were partially offset by increases in average ticket price, increases in food and beverage sales per patron, increases in other revenues and increases in cash distributions from non-consolidated entities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the International markets was $(4.0) million compared to $(3.8) million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decline in other revenues, increases in rent, increases in operating expenses related to the increase in attendance, general and administrative expenses and increases in foreign currency translation rates. These declines were partially offset by an increase in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases, increases in food and beverage sales per patron, increases in legal settlement income and increases in Attributable EBITDA.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. markets and International markets was $(31.6) million compared to $7.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by the aforementioned factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA.

(1) For information regarding the income tax provision, see Note 8—Income Taxes in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.

(2) Amounts represent preopening expense related to temporarily closed screens under renovation, theatre and other closure expense for the permanent closure of screens, including the related accretion of interest, disposition of assets and other non-operating gains or losses included in operating expenses. We have excluded these items as they are non-cash in nature or are non-operating in nature.

(3) Includes U.S. non-theatre distributions from equity method investments and International non-theatre distributions from equity method investments to the extent received. We believe including cash distributions is an appropriate reflection of the contribution of these investments to our operations.

(4) Attributable EBITDA includes the EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operators in certain International markets. See below for a reconciliation of our equity in loss of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments are in theatre operators in regions where we hold a significant market share, we believe attributable EBITDA is more indicative of the performance of these equity investments and management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate these equity investments. We also provide services to these theatre operators including information technology systems, certain on-screen advertising services and our gift card and package ticket program.

Segment Information

Our historical results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, reflect the results of operations for our two theatrical exhibition reportable segments, U.S. markets and International markets.

Results of Operations—For the Three Months ended March 31, 2024, Compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2023

Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues. Total revenues decreased $3.0 million, or 0.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Admissions revenues decreased $3.6 million, or 0.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in attendance of 2.1% from 47.6 million patrons to 46.6 million patrons, partially offset by a 1.4% increase in average ticket price. The decrease in attendance was primarily due to the popularity of film product in U.S. Markets compared to the prior year. The availability and popularity of film product released during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was negatively impacted by the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strikes during 2023. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to increased ticket prices for all formats, increased attendance at IMAX and other PLF screens and an increase in foreign currency translation rates, partially offset by lower attendance for 3D content.

43

Food and beverage revenues decreased $7.5 million, or 2.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in attendance and a decrease in food and beverage per patron. Food and beverage per patron decreased 0.1% from $6.90 to $6.89 due primarily to an increase in revenues in International markets as a percentage of consolidated revenues from 21.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 23.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Food and beverage per patron in International markets is much lower than in our U.S. markets and this change in the mix of revenues resulted in a decline in consolidated food and beverage per patron, partially offset by an increase in foreign currency translation rates.

Total other theatre revenues increased $8.1 million, or 8.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to higher income from gift cards and package tickets, higher income from AMC Theatres Perfectly Popcorn and an increase in foreign currency translation rates.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses decreased $2.8 million, or 0.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Film exhibition costs decreased $6.9 million, or 2.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in attendance and lower film rental terms. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 45.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 46.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Food and beverage costs increased $1.6 million, or 2.6%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in food and beverage costs was primarily due to higher product costs. As a percentage of food and beverage revenues, food and beverage costs were 19.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 18.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Operating expense increased by $10.6 million, or 2.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in operating expense was primarily due to an increase in expected general liability and workers compensation costs compared to the prior year and an increase in foreign currency translation rates. As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 41.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 40.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Rent expense increased 9.1%, or $18.8 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the early termination of one theatre lease for a benefit of $16.7 million in the prior year, which included an early termination payment from the landlord for $13.0 million and an increase in foreign currency translation rates.

Merger, acquisition, and other costs. Merger, acquisition, and other costs were $(0.1) million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Other. Other general and administrative expense decreased $14.6 million, or 20.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due primarily to declines in stock-based compensation expense. We recorded $2.1 million of stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $20.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to special awards in each year accounted for as a modification to the respective 2023 and 2022 PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that 200% vesting was achieved for both tranches in 2023 and 2022, partially offset by increased rent expense, salaries expense and an increase in foreign currency translation rates. See Note 7—Stockholders’ Deficit in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about stock-based compensation expense.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $12.0 million, or 12.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to theatre closures and lower depreciation expense on theatres impaired during the year ended December 31, 2023, partially offset by an increase in foreign currency translation rates.

Other expense (income). Other income of $(42.8) million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the favorable settlement of a vendor dispute of $36.2 million, a gain on extinguishment of debt of $5.8 million related to the redemption of $17.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2026 and equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities of $3.7 million, partially offset by foreign currency transaction losses of $3.2 million. Other expense of $37.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to $126.6 million of expense related to a proposed settlement of the Shareholder Litigation comprised of $10 million of

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $0.1 million to $101.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $101.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in interest rates on the Senior Secured Credit Facility Term Loan Due 2026, partially offset by lower interest expense on the Second Lien Notes due 2026 due to redemptions of principal balances. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about our indebtedness.

Investment income. Investment income was $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to income of $(13.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Investment income in the current year includes interest income of $6.1 million, partially offset by $0.5 million of decline in estimated fair value of our investment in common shares of Hycroft and $0.5 million of decline in estimated fair value of our investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft. Investment income in the prior year includes a gain on sale of our 10.0% interest in Saudi Cinema Company, LLC of $15.5 million and interest income of $2.3 million, partially offset by $2.3 million of decline in estimated fair value of our investment in common shares of Hycroft and $2.3 million of decline in estimated fair value of our investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft.

Net loss. Net loss was $163.5 million and $235.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively. Net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was positively impacted by decreases in general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization expense, increases in other income and decrease in income tax provision, partially offset by the decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year, increases in rent expense, increases in interest expense, decreases in investment income and the increase in foreign currency translation rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our consolidated revenues are primarily collected in cash, principally through admissions and food and beverage sales. We have an operating “float” which partially finances our operations and which generally permits us to maintain a smaller amount of working capital capacity. This float exists because admissions revenues are received in cash, while exhibition costs (primarily film rentals) are ordinarily paid to distributors 20 to 45 days following receipt of admissions revenues. Film distributors generally release the films which they anticipate will be the most successful during the summer and year-end holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during such periods and experience higher working capital requirements following such periods.

48

We had working capital deficit (excluding restricted cash) as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 of $(626.5) million and $(456.4) million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, working capital included operating lease liabilities of $508.9 million and $508.8 million, respectively, and deferred revenues of $394.2 million and $421.8 million, respectively.

See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of our Financial Covenants.

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $624.2 million.

We have continued to lower our future interest expense through debt exchanges for equity and enhanced liquidity through equity issuances. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities, Note 7—Stockholders’ Deficit, and Note 13—Subsequent Events in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information. We expect, from time to time, to continue to seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material and, to the extent equity is used, dilutive.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and satisfy our obligations currently and through the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2024, we were subject to a minimum liquidity requirement of $100.0 million as a condition to the financial covenant suspension period under the Credit Agreement. As of April 19, 2024, and in anticipation of the maturity of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, we voluntarily terminated the commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility in full and paid off any remaining obligations with respect to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The financial covenants and related covenant suspension conditions are no longer in effect pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The termination of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility does not otherwise affect the senior secured term loan facility under the Credit Agreement. We currently do not expect to replace the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, we had $9.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. We have entered into a new letter of credit facility in order to continue to provide letters of credit in the ordinary course of business following the termination of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

Our current cash burn rates are not sustainable long-term. In order to achieve sustainable net positive operating cash flows and long-term profitability, we believe that operating revenues will need to increase to levels in line with pre-COVID-19 operating revenues. North American box office grosses were down approximately 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. Until such time as we are able to achieve sustainable net positive operating cash flow, it is difficult to estimate our future cash burn rates and liquidity requirements. Depending on our assumptions regarding the timing and ability to achieve levels of operating revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly.

There can be no assurance that the operating revenues, attendance levels and other assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements and future cash burn rates will be correct, and our ability to be predictive is uncertain due to limited ability to predict studio film release dates, the overall production and theatrical release levels and success of individual titles. Additionally, the effects of labor stoppages, including but not limited to the Writers Guild of America strike and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike that occurred during 2023, cannot be reasonably estimated and have had and are expected to continue to have a negative impact in 2024 on the film slate for exhibition, the Company’s future liquidity and cash burn rates. Further, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in generating the additional liquidity necessary to meet our obligations beyond twelve months from the issuance of this Quarterly Report on terms acceptable to us or at all.

On March 28, 2024, we entered into a Common Stock equity distribution agreement with certain sales agents to sell shares of Common Stock, from time to time, having an aggregate offering price of $250,000,000, through an at-the-market offering program. The Company intends to use any net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the program to bolster liquidity, to repay, refinance, redeem or repurchase its existing indebtedness (including expenses, accrued interest and premium, if any) and for general corporate purposes. Through the date of this filing, the Company has received gross proceeds of approximately $103.5 million through its at-the-market offering of approximately 32.0

49

million shares of its Common Stock and paid fees to the sales agents of approximately $2.6 million.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, were $188.3 million and $189.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities was primarily due to reductions in rent repayments that were deferred during the COVID-19 pandemic and a lease termination payment received during the three months ended March 31, 2023, partially offset by the decrease in attendance and increase in working capital used. The increase in working capital used was primarily due to timing of incentive bonus payments which were made during the three months ended March 31, 2024 in the current year and during the three months ended June 30, 2023 in the prior year.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, were $50.0 million and $16.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Cash outflows from investing activities include capital expenditures of $50.5 million and $47.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash flows used in investing activities included proceeds from the sale of our investment in Saudi Cinema Company, LLC of $30.0 million and proceeds from the disposition of long-term assets of $0.8 million.

We fund the costs of constructing, maintaining, and remodeling our theatres through existing cash balances, cash generated from operations, landlord contributions, or borrowed funds, as necessary. We generally lease our theatres pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases, which may require the developer, who owns the property, to reimburse us for the construction costs. We estimate that our capital expenditures, net of landlord contributions, will be approximately $175 million to $225 million for year ended December 31, 2024, to maintain and enhance operations.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, were $(9.0) million and $68.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Cash flows used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, were primarily due to scheduled principal payments under the Term Loan due 2026 and taxes paid for restricted unit withholdings of $2.2 million. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information, including a summary of principal payments required and maturities of corporate borrowings as of March 31, 2024.

Cash flows provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, were primarily due to equity issuances of $146.6 million, net of issuance costs, partially offset by the repurchase of Second Lien Notes due 2026 for $54.8 million, and taxes paid for restricted unit withholdings of $13.1 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In the ordinary course of business, our financial results are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In accordance with applicable guidance, we presented a sensitivity analysis showing the potential impact to net income of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, our analysis utilized a hypothetical 100 basis-point increase or decrease to the average interest rate on our variable rate debt instruments to illustrate the potential impact to interest expense of changes in interest rates and a hypothetical 100 basis-point increase or decrease to market interest rates on our fixed rate debt instruments to illustrate the potential impact to fair value of changes in interest rates.

Similarly, for the same period, our analysis used a uniform and hypothetical 10% increase in foreign currency translation rates to depict the potential impact to net income of changes in foreign exchange rates. These market risk instruments and the potential impacts to the condensed consolidated statements of operations are presented below.

50

Market risk on variable-rate financial instruments. As of March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, we maintained Senior Secured Credit Facilities comprised of a $225.0 million revolving credit facility and $1,900.0 million of Term Loan due 2026. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement (which governs the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) (as amended through the Thirteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement) bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50% per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (b) the prime rate announced by the Administrative Agent and (c) 1.00% per annum plus Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) for a 1-month tenor or (2) Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.11448% per annum, 0.26161% per annum, and 0.42826% per annum for interest periods of one-month, three-months, or six-months or longer, respectively (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) plus (x) in the case of the Senior Secured Term Loans, 2.0% for base rate loans or 3.0% for SOFR loans or (y) in the case of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, an applicable margin based on the Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The rate in effect for the outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan due 2026 was 8.435% per annum at March 31, 2024, and 7.684% per annum at March 31, 2023.

Increases in market interest rates would cause interest expense to increase and earnings before income taxes to decrease. The change in interest expense and earnings before income taxes would be dependent upon the weighted average outstanding borrowings during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. At March 31, 2024, we had no variable-rate borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities and had an aggregate principal balance of $1,900.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan due 2026. A 100-basis point change in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on the Senior Secured Credit Facilities by $4.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

At March 31, 2023, we had no variable-rate borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities and had an aggregate principal balance of $1,920.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan due 2026. A 100-basis point change in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on our Senior Secured Term Loan due 2026 by $4.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Market risk on fixed-rate financial instruments. Included corporate borrowings as of March 31, 2024, were principal amounts of $950.0 million of our First Lien Notes due 2029, $951.4 million of our Second Lien Notes due 2026, $400.0 million of our Odeon Notes due 2027, $98.3 million of our Notes due 2025, $51.5 million of our Notes due 2026, $125.5 million of our Notes due 2027, and £4.0 million ($5.0 million) of our Sterling Notes due 2024. A 100-basis point change in market interest rates would have caused an increase or (decrease) in the fair value of our fixed rate financial instruments of approximately $51.6 million and $(49.8) million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024.

Included in corporate borrowings as of March 31, 2023, were principal amounts of $950.0 million of our First Lien Notes due 2029, $1,190.4 million of our Second Lien Notes due 2026, $400.0 million of our Odeon Notes due 2027, $98.3 million of our Notes due 2025, $51.5 million of our Notes due 2026, $125.5 million of our Notes due 2027, and £4.0 million ($4.9 million) of our Sterling Notes due 2024. A 100-basis point change in market interest rates would have caused an increase or (decrease) in the fair value of our fixed rate financial instruments of approximately $61.9 million and $(59.3) million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk. We are also exposed to market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates arising from our International markets operations. International markets revenues and operating expenses are transacted in British Pounds, Euros, Swedish Krona, and Norwegian Krone. U.S. GAAP requires that our subsidiaries use the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate as their functional currency. If any international subsidiary was to operate in a highly inflationary economy, U.S. GAAP would require that the U.S. dollar be used as the functional currency. Currency fluctuations in the countries in which we operate result in us reporting exchange gains (losses) or foreign currency translation adjustments. Based upon the functional currencies in the International markets as of March 31, 2024, holding everything else constant, a hypothetical 10% increase in foreign currency translation rates to depict the potential impact to net loss of changes in foreign exchange rates would increase the aggregate net loss of our International theatres for the three months ended March 31, 2024, by approximately $0.3 million. Based upon the functional currencies in the International markets as of March 31, 2023, holding everything else constant, a hypothetical 10% increase in foreign currency translation rates to depict the potential impact to net loss of changes in foreign exchange rates would increase the aggregate net loss of our International theatres for the three months ended March 31, 2023, by approximately $1.5 million.

Our foreign currency translation rates increased by approximately 2.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that material information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in internal control.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent calendar quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Reference is made to Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for information on certain litigation to which we are a party.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Reference is made to Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

There has been significant recent dilution and there may continue to be significant additional future dilution of our Common Stock, which could adversely affect the market price of shares of our Common Stock.

From January 1, 2020 through May 8, 2024, the outstanding shares of our Common Stock have increased by 290,379,739 shares (on a Reverse Stock Split adjusted basis) in a combination of at-the-market sales, conversion of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, shareholder litigation settlement, conversion of Class B common stock, conversion of notes, exchanges of notes, transaction fee payments, and equity grant vesting. On March 14, 2023, the Company held the Special Meeting and obtained the requisite stockholder approval for the Charter Amendments (as defined in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023) and on August 14, 2023 we filed the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation implementing the Charter Amendments effective as of August 24, 2023. Accordingly, in accordance with the Charter Amendments, we increased the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 524,173,073 to 550,000,000 shares of Common Stock and effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock outstanding. In accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations governing the Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, following the effectiveness of the Charter Amendments all outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock converted into 99,540,642 shares of Common Stock.

52

As of May 8, 2024, there were 295,587,747 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. We expect to issue additional shares of Common Stock to raise cash to bolster our liquidity, to repay, refinance, redeem or refinance indebtedness (including expenses, accrued interest and premium, if any), for working capital, to finance strategic initiatives and future acquisitions or for other purposes. We may also issue preferred equity securities or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of Common Stock or acquire interests in other companies, or other assets by using a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, or just shares of Common Stock. Additionally, vesting of outstanding awards pursuant to our legacy equity compensation program and updated equity compensation programs, if approved results in the issuance of new shares of Common Stock, net of any shares withheld to cover tax withholding obligations upon vesting. Any of these events may dilute significantly the ownership interests of current stockholders, reduce our earnings per share or have an adverse effect on the price of our shares of Common Stock.

The market price and trading volume of our shares of Common Stock have experienced, and may continue to experience, extreme volatility, which could cause purchasers of our Common Stock to incur substantial losses.

The market prices and trading volume of our shares of Common Stock have experienced, and may continue to experience, extreme volatility, which could cause purchasers of our Common Stock to incur substantial losses. For example, during 2023 and 2024 to date, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, the market price of our Common Stock has fluctuated from an intra-day low on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of $2.38 per share on April 16, 2024 to an intra-day high on the NYSE of $85.30 on February 28, 2023. The last reported sale price of our Common Stock on the NYSE on May 7, 2024, was $3.19 per share. During 2023 and 2024 to date, daily trading volume ranged from approximately 771,720 to 84,989,600 shares.

We believe that the recent volatility and our current market prices reflect market and trading dynamics unrelated to our underlying business, or macro or industry fundamentals, and we do not know how long these dynamics will last.

Extreme fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock have been accompanied by reports of strong and atypical retail investor interest, including on social media and online forums. The market volatility and trading patterns we have experienced create several risks for investors, including the following:

• the market prices of our Common Stock have experienced and may continue to experience rapid and substantial increases or decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, or macro or industry fundamentals, and substantial increases may be significantly inconsistent with the risks and uncertainties that we continue to face;

• factors in the public trading market for our Common Stock may include the sentiment of retail investors (including as may be expressed on financial trading and other social media sites and online forums), the direct access by retail investors to broadly available trading platforms, the amount and status of short interest in our securities, access to margin debt, trading in options and other derivatives on our Common Stock and any related hedging and other trading factors;

• our market capitalization, as implied by various trading prices, currently reflects valuations that diverge significantly from those seen prior to recent volatility, and to the extent these valuations reflect trading dynamics unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, purchasers of our Common Stock could incur substantial losses if there are declines in market prices;

• to the extent volatility in our Common Stock is caused, or may from time to time be caused, as has widely been reported, by a “short squeeze” in which coordinated trading activity causes a spike in the market price of our Common Stock as traders with a short position make market purchases to avoid or to mitigate potential losses, investors purchase at inflated prices unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, and may thereafter suffer substantial losses as prices decline once the level of short-covering purchases has abated; and

• if the market prices of our Common Stock declines, investors may be unable to resell shares of our Common Stock at or above the price at which their investment was made. Our Common Stock may continue to fluctuate or decline significantly in the future, which may result in substantial losses.

Future increases or decreases in the market of our Common Stock may not coincide in timing with the disclosure of news or developments by or affecting us. Accordingly, the market price of our shares of Common Stock may fluctuate dramatically, and may decline rapidly, regardless of any developments in our business. Overall, there are various factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our Common Stock, including:

53

• the impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic;

• actual or anticipated variations in our annual or quarterly results of operations, including our earnings estimates and whether we meet market expectations with regard to our earnings;

• restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or other distributions;

• publication of research reports by analysts or others about us or the motion picture exhibition industry, which may be unfavorable, inaccurate, inconsistent or not disseminated on a regular basis;

• changes in market interest rates that may cause purchasers of our shares to demand a different yield;

• changes in market valuations of similar companies;

• market reaction to any additional equity, debt or other securities that we may issue in the future, and which may or may not dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders;

• additions or departures of key personnel;

• actions by institutional or significant stockholders;

• short interest in our securities and the market response to such short interest;

• the dramatic increase or decrease in the number of individual holders of our Common Stock and their participation in social media platforms targeted at speculative investing;

• speculation in the press or investment community about our company or industry;

• strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or other investments;

• legislative, administrative, regulatory or other actions affecting our business or our industry, including positions taken by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”);

• strategic actions taken by motion picture studios, such as the shuffling of film release dates;

• investigations, proceedings, or litigation that involve or affect us;

• the occurrence of any of the other risk factors included or incorporated by reference in our Annual Report; and

• general market and economic conditions.
