AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

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 for periods prior to August 24, 2023, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have also 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.

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 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. The Company has entered into a new letter of credit facility in order to continue to provide letters of

Table of Contents

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 revenues will need to increase to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. North American box office grosses were down approximately 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 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 revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly.

There can be no assurance that the 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 had a negative impact in 2024 on the film slate for exhibition, the Company’s 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. See Note 13—Subsequent Events for more information about various debt refinancing transactions that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024.

The below table summarizes the various debt for equity exchange transactions that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The transactions were treated as 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. See Note 6—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities and Note 7—Stockholders’ Deficit.

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.

The following table reflects the lease costs for the periods presented:

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had signed additional operating lease agreements for three theatres that have not yet commenced. These leases have terms ranging from 15 to 20 years and total lease payments of approximately $68.9 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 six months ended June 30, 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.

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 June 30, 2024 was $293.8 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 June 30, 2024, the amount of deferred revenues allocated to the loyalty programs included in deferred revenues and income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet was $74.5 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.

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.

Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, unit, per unit, or common share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures for periods prior to August 24, 2023, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have also 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company raised gross proceeds of $250.0 million and paid fees to sales agents and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $6.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, through its at-the-market offering of approximately 72.5 million shares of Common Stock. The Company paid $0.7 million of other third-party issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $114.5 million and paid fees to a sales agent and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $2.9 million and $8.3 million, respectively, through its at-the-market offering of approximately 7.1 million shares of AMC Preferred Equity Units. The Company paid $11.0 million of other third-party issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, the Company has 50,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock available for issuance.

As of June 30, 2024, the estimated remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation grants was approximately $23.4 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 1.2 years.

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 Tranche 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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $20.2 million of stock compensation expense related to these awards.

Awards Granted in 2024

On June 5, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved a new equity incentive plan (“2024 EIP”). The 2024 EIP has 25.0 million shares of Common Stock available for awards under the plan. Awards that may be granted under the 2024 EIP include options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, cash awards, and other equity-based awards. The 2024 EIP will be unlimited in duration and, in the event of termination, will remain in effect as long as any shares of awards under it are outstanding and not fully vested.

On June 5, 2024, the Company’s board of directors granted awards of stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain of the Company’s employees and directors under the 2024 EIP. Each RSU or PSU is convertible into one share of Common Stock upon vesting. Each RSU and PSU held by a participant as of a dividend record date is entitled to a dividend equivalent equal to the amount paid with respect to one share of Common

19

Table of Contents

Stock underlying the unit. Any such accrued dividend equivalents are paid to the holder only upon vesting of the units. Each unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock at a future date.

The awards generally had the following features:

Board of Directors Stock Awards: The Company granted 195,924 fully vested shares of Common Stock to the independent members of the Company’s board of directors with a grant date fair value of $1.0 million.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards: The Company granted 2,307,931 RSUs to certain members of management with a grant date fair value of $11.9 million. The Company records stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line recognition method over the requisite vesting period. The RSUs vest over three years, with one-third vesting each year. These RSUs will be settled within 30 days of vesting.
Performance Stock Unit Awards: A total of 2,307,931 PSUs were awarded (“2024 PSU award”) to certain members of management and executive officers, with the total PSUs divided into three separate year tranches, with each tranche allocated to a fiscal year within 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 2024 PSU awards 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. If the performance targets are met at 100%, the 2024 PSU awards will vest at 2,307,931 units in the aggregate. 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 2024 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2024 Tranche Year award of 769,260 units was $4.0 million, 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 PSU awards for the 2024 Tranche Year were 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 expense 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 June 30, 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.

NOTE 8—INCOME TAXES

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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, was (1.3)%. The Company’s consolidated tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2024:

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 6Corporate 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:

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.

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.

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 six months ended June 30, 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 were 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 AMC Preferred Equity Units, the Antara Transactions, and the Charter Amendments. The Munoz Action, which was filed by 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 AMC Preferred Equity Units 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 AMC Preferred Equity Units on the Charter Amendments or that the AMC Preferred Equity Units be enjoined from voting on the Charter Amendments, and an award of money damages. The Munoz Action sought to enjoin the AMC Preferred Equity Units 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”).

29

Table of Contents

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 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. 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 AMC Preferred Equity Units 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 decision approving the settlement. On May 22, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Court’s decision approving the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation.

In connection with the Shareholder Litigation, the Company recorded a $125.4 million charge to other expense during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The charge was based on an estimated fair value for the Settlement Payment of $115.4 million and estimated legal fees, net of probable insurance recoveries of $10.0 million as of June 30, 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 AMC Preferred Equity Units prior to the conversion of the AMC Preferred Equity Units 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.

Table of Contents

The primary insurer in the Coverage Action has paid its full $5 million limit. The Company has reached confidential settlement agreements with multiple insurers in the Coverage Action.

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 named the Company as a nominal defendant. On November 16, 2023, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On 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 June 17, 2024, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss and denied plaintiffs’ 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.

On May 2, 2024, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an order granting final approval of a proposed settlement reached by all parties to an action brought by plaintiffs Dennis J. Donoghue and Mark Rubenstein, each of whom are shareholders of the Company, for the Company to recover “short-swing” profits under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) alleged to have been realized by defendants Antara Capital Master Fund LP, Antara Capital Fund GP LLC, Antara Capital LP, Antara Capital GP LLC, and Himanshu Gulati (collectively, the “Antara Defendants”) in connection with their purchases and sales of the Company’s securities. The Company is party to the suit in name only, which was brought for the benefit of the Company. The Company received $2.6 million in connection with this action during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

NOTE 12—EARNINGS (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 for periods prior to August 24, 2023, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have also been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on their equivalent Common Stock shares.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (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.

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 (loss) per share.

Unvested RSUs of 2,579,669 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would be anti-dilutive. Unvested RSUs of 491,439 and 531,957 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they would be anti-dilutive.

Unvested PSUs are subject to performance conditions and are included in diluted earnings (loss) 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 918,340 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (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 292,904 and 297,823 at certain performance targets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, 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

Debt Refinancing. On July 22, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a series of refinancing transactions with two creditor groups to refinance and extend to 2029 and 2030 the maturities of approximately $1.6 billion of the Company’s debt previously maturing in 2026 (collectively, the “Debt Refinancing”). These arrangements provide for the potential additional refinancing of up to approximately $800 million of debt maturing in 2026 or earlier.

In connection with the Debt Refinancing:

The Company and Muvico, LLC, a newly formed indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Muvico”), entered into that certain Credit Agreement (the “New Term Loan Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company and Muvico, each, as a borrower (collectively, the “New Term Loan Borrowers”), the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent pursuant to which the Company and Muvico jointly and severally borrowed $1.2 billion of new term loans maturing in 2029 (the “New Term Loans”).
The New Term Loans were (i) used as consideration for the open market purchase of $1.1 billion of the Company’s existing senior secured term loans maturing in 2026 (the “Existing Term Loans”) and (ii) exchanged for $104.2 million of the Company’s 10%/12% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Subordinated Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Second Lien Notes”). Under the terms of the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, lenders of the remaining Existing Term Loans will be entitled to exchange their remaining Existing Term Loans for the New Term Loans subject to certain terms and conditions.
Muvico also completed a private offering for cash of $414.4 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00%/8.00% Cash/PIK Toggle Senior Secured Exchangeable Notes due 2030 (the “Exchangeable

32

Table of Contents

Notes”), which are guaranteed by the Company, the existing guarantors under the Existing Term Loans, and the Existing First Lien Notes (as defined herein) (the “Existing Guarantors”) and Centertainment (as defined below) and which are exchangeable into the Company’s Common Stock on the terms described herein.
Muvico used the proceeds from the offering of the Exchangeable Notes to repurchase $414.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes. Muvico is entitled to issue up to an additional $50.0 million of the Exchangeable Notes (the “Additional Exchangeable Notes”), the proceeds of which must be used to repurchase other outstanding debt due in 2025, 2026, and 2027.

In connection with the formation of Muvico, among other things, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “AMC”) transferred certain leases, owned real property and related assets and rights in respect of 175 theatres to Muvico, along with certain intellectual property, including the AMC brand name, pursuant to an asset transfer agreement. In connection with the foregoing, the Company and Muvico (i) entered into a management services agreement, pursuant to which Muvico engaged AMC to manage and operate the transferred theatres and (ii) Muvico granted AMC a license to use the transferred intellectual property.

Muvico is a direct subsidiary of Centertainment Development, LLC (“Centertainment”). Each of Muvico and Centertainment is an “unrestricted subsidiary” under the Existing Term Loans and the Existing First Lien Notes and therefore not subject to various restrictive covenants under the covenants governing such indebtedness.

On August 1, 2024, the Company completed follow-on open market repurchases of the Company’s Existing Term Loans, and in exchange, issued to such selling holders the Company’s New Term Loans pursuant to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, by and among the Company and Muvico, LLC as co-borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent. As of August 1, 2024, the Company completed open market purchase of $1,864.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loans and issued $1,993.3 million aggregate principal amount of the New Term Loans. Accordingly, as of such date, the Company had approximately $31.0 million aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans outstanding. No Additional Exchangeable Notes have been issued as of the date of this filing.

The following sections provide summaries of the key terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement Amendment (as defined herein), the New Term Loans, and the Exchangeable Notes.

 

Existing Credit Agreement Amendment

 

On the Closing Date, the Company entered into that certain Fourteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement Amendment”), by and among the Company, the Existing Guarantors, the lenders party thereto (which constituted the “Required Lenders” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement referred to below, the “Specified Existing Lenders”) and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, which amends the credit agreement governing the Existing Term Loans (as amended through the Thirteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2023, the “Existing Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement Amendment, certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement, including certain affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default were removed with the consent of the Specified Existing Lenders. In addition, the Specified Existing Lenders consented to all of the transactions described herein and consented to, and directed Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as collateral agent in respect of the Existing Term Loans, to enter into the Credit Facilities Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below).

  

New Term Loan Credit Agreement

 

Amortization, Interest, Guarantees and Security

 

The New Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for (i) the New Term Loans in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,229,415,340 and (ii) the ability of the New Term Loan Borrowers to incur additional New Term Loans, the proceeds of which will be used in connection with future open market purchases of the Existing Term Loans.

The New Term Loans mature on January 4, 2029 (or, if at least $190,000,000 of the Existing First Lien Notes have not been repurchased (and cancelled), repaid or refinanced by October 5, 2028, then October 5, 2028). The New Term Loans are subject to amortization of principal, payable in quarterly installments on the last business day of each

33

Table of Contents

fiscal quarter, commencing on September 30, 2024, equal to 1.00% per annum. The remaining aggregate principal amount outstanding (together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount) of the New Term Loans is payable at maturity.

 The New Term Loans bear interest, at the option of the New Term Loan Borrowers, at rates equal to either (i) a base rate plus a margin of between 500 and 600 basis points depending on the total leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the “Total Leverage Ratio”) or (ii) Term SOFR plus a margin of between 600 and 700 basis points depending on the Total Leverage Ratio. Until the delivery under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement of the financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, the New Term Loans bear interest, at the option of the Company, at either (a) the base rate plus a margin of 600 basis points or (b) Term SOFR plus a margin of 700 basis points.

The New Term Loans are guaranteed, subject to limited exceptions, by Centertainment and Muvico and their future respective subsidiaries (collectively, the “Centertainment Group Parties”) and the Existing Guarantors, and are secured by liens on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets owned by the Company and such guarantors, in each case, subject to limited exceptions set forth in the New Term Loan Credit Agreement.

Covenants and Events of Default

 

The New Term Loan Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness; (ii) create liens; (iii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; (iv) make investments; (v) enter into transactions with its affiliates; (vi) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets; and (vii) maintain cash in the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (other than the Centertainment Group Parties). These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The New Term Loan Credit Agreement also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding New Term Loans to become immediately due and payable.

Exchangeable Notes Indenture

 

Interest, Guarantees and Security

 

The Exchangeable Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Exchangeable Notes Indenture”) dated as of the Closing Date, by and among Muvico, Centertainment, the Company, the Existing Guarantors and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee and as collateral agent.

The Exchangeable Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum, if paid in cash, and 8.00% per annum, if paid in-kind by issuing the Exchangeable Notes (“PIK Notes”) having the same terms and conditions as the Exchangeable Notes in each case, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, beginning on December 15, 2024. The Exchangeable Notes will mature on April 30, 2030, unless redeemed or exchanged in full prior to such maturity date, pursuant to the terms contained in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture.

Muvico’s obligations under the Exchangeable Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company, Centertainment and its future subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions), and all of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s other indebtedness, including under the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Exchangeable Notes are secured (a) on a second lien priority basis by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Centertainment Group Parties and (b) on a first lien priority basis (but subject to a limitation on the amount of obligations so secured) by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the Existing Guarantors, subject to certain turnover obligations relative to the New Term Loans.

Exchange Mechanics; Soft Call; Fundamental Change; Redemption

 

At any time prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture) immediately preceding the final maturity date of the Exchangeable Notes, each holder of the Exchangeable Notes shall have the right, at its option, to surrender for exchange all or a portion of its Exchangeable Notes at the Exchange Rate (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture) for Common Stock of the Company. The Exchange Rate is initially set at 176.6379 shares of the Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes exchanged, which reflects a price of $5.66 per share Common Stock (“Exchange Price”), which price is equal to 113% of the closing price per share of the Common Stock on July 19, 2024. The Exchange Rate is subject to customary adjustments and anti-dilution protections (as provided in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture).

At any time prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the final maturity date of the Exchangeable Notes, Muvico will also have the right, at its election, to redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Exchangeable Notes at a price equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of such redemption if the Daily VWAP (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture) per share of Common Stock exceeds 140% of the Exchange Price for fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days ending on (and including) the Trading Day immediately before the date on which Muvico sends a notice to holders calling such Exchangeable Notes for redemption (a “Soft Call Notice”). Any such Soft Call Notice will provide that the applicable redemption of the Exchangeable Notes will occur on a business day of Muvico’s choosing, not more than ten (10) and not less than five (5) business days after the date of the Soft Call Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Exchangeable Notes will be entitled within two (2) business days of such Soft Call Notice to submit their Exchangeable Notes for exchange under the terms of the Exchangeable Notes Indenture.

In the event that holders of Exchangeable Notes voluntarily elect to exchange their Exchangeable Notes, such holders will also be entitled to a make-whole premium (the “Exchange Adjustment Consideration”) equal to (i) prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date, 18.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes being exchanged; (ii) on or after the third anniversary and prior to the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, 12.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes being exchanged; and (iii) on or after the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date and prior to the fifth anniversary, 6.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes being exchanged. Muvico, at its option, will be entitled to pay the Exchange Adjustment Consideration in the form of shares of Common Stock (using a modified exchange price equal to 140% of the Exchange Price), subject to restrictions under the New Credit Agreement, cash in twelve (12) equal installments over the twelve-month period following the applicable exchange or a combination thereof.

If certain corporate events that constitute a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture) occur, then holders will have the right to require Muvico to repurchase their Exchangeable Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes Indenture). The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company, stockholder approval of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Common Stock.

Muvico will also be required to mandatorily redeem all of the issued and outstanding Exchangeable Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase in the event that, as of ninety (90) days prior to the maturity date of the Company’s 7.50% first lien secured notes due 2029 (the “Existing First Lien Notes”), the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Existing First Lien Notes with a maturity date prior to April 30, 2030 exceeds $190,000,000.

Covenants and Events of Default

 

The Exchangeable Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit the Centertainment Group Parties’ ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness; (ii) create liens; (iii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; (iv) make investments; (v) enter into transactions with its affiliates; (vi) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets; and (vii) impair the security interest in the collateral. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The Exchangeable Notes Indenture also incorporates the other restrictive covenants contained in the New Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Exchangeable Notes Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of

35

Table of Contents

them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Exchangeable Notes to be due and payable immediately.

 

Additional Exchangeable Notes

 

The Exchangeable Notes Indenture provides that Muvico may issue an additional $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Additional Exchangeable Notes from time to time to fund purchases of the Company’s remaining outstanding Second Lien Notes, 5.75% senior subordinated notes due 2025 and the existing term loan facilities under the Existing Credit Agreement. Until the date that is three (3) months following the Issue Date, only the initial purchasers of the Exchangeable Notes and their designated affiliates have the right to purchase for cash such Additional Exchangeable Notes, and the proceeds may only be used to repurchase outstanding debt securities on terms agreed with such purchasers and/or their designated affiliates. Any such Additional Exchangeable Notes, if issued, will have the same terms and exchange price as the Exchangeable Notes originally issued under the Exchangeable Notes Indenture.

The Company is evaluating the accounting treatments associated with these refinancing transactions and the analysis of the financial effect is ongoing.

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, 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, revenues will need to increase from current levels to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. However, there remain significant risks that may negatively impact 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 negatively impacted 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 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;
the risks and uncertainties relating to the Debt Refinancing, including, but not limited to, (i) the potential for additional future dilution of our Common Stock as a result of issuance of shares underlying our Exchangeable Notes, and (ii) the possibility that the extension of certain debt maturities will not provide

36

Table of Contents

enough time for attendance and revenues to increase to sufficient levels and generate net positive operating cash flow and long-term profitability to overcome liquidity concerns or may be insufficient if the Company does not achieve revenue levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues;
changing practices of distributors, which accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased use of alternative film delivery methods including premium video on demand, streaming platforms, shrinking exclusive theatrical release windows or release of movies to theatrical exhibition and streaming platforms on the same date, the theatrical release of fewer movies, or transitioning to other forms of entertainment;
the impact of changing movie-going behavior of consumers;
the risk that the North American and international box office in the near term will not recover sufficiently, resulting in higher cash burn and the need to seek additional financing;
risks and uncertainties relating to our significant indebtedness, including our borrowings and our ability to meet our financial maintenance and other covenants;
the dilution caused by recent and potential future sales of our Common Stock and future potential share issuances to repay, refinance, redeem or repurchase indebtedness (including expenses, accrued interest and premium, if any);
risks relating to motion picture production, promotion, marketing, and performance, including labor stoppages affecting the production, supply and release schedule of theatrical motion picture content, including but not limited to the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strikes during 2023;

Overview

AMC is the world’s largest theatrical exhibition company and an industry leader in innovation and operational excellence. As of June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, we owned, operated or had interests in 886 theatres and 9,889 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.

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 six months ended June 30, 2023, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $114.5 million and paid fees to a sales agent and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $2.9 million and $8.3 million, respectively, through our at-the-market offering of approximately 7.1 million shares of AMC Preferred Equity Units. We paid $11.0 million of other third-party issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

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 six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $20.2 million of additional stock compensation expense.

Lease Termination. During the six months ended June 30, 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.

NCM Bankruptcy. On April 11, 2023, National CineMedia, LLC (“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 our 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 us. As part of the Plan, on August 7, 2023, NCM issued 16,581,829 common units (“NCM Common Units”) that were owed to us 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. We have 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 us and appeal the court’s order to approve cancellation of the NCM Common Unit issuance. We do not expect its bankruptcy to have a material impact on the Company.

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.

45

Table of Contents

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 June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. markets was $49.3 million compared to $174.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year. These declines were partially offset by increases in average ticket price, increases in food and beverage sales per patron, decreases in general and administrative expenses and decreases in rent expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the International markets was $(19.9) million compared to $7.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year and declines in average ticket price and food and beverage sales per patron. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. markets and International markets was $29.4 million compared to $182.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by the aforementioned factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. markets was $21.7 million compared to $185.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year and increases in rent expense due to a prior year rent credit for a theatre termination. These declines were partially offset by increases in average ticket price, increases in food and beverage sales per patron and increases in cash distributions from non-consolidated entities. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the International markets was $(23.9) million compared to $3.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year and declines in average ticket price and food and beverage sales per patron. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. markets and International markets was $(2.2) million compared to $189.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by the aforementioned factors impacting Adjusted EBITDA.

(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 and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, Compared to the Three Months ended June 30, 2023

Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues. Total revenues decreased $317.3 million, or 23.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Admissions revenues decreased $179.7 million, or 24.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in attendance of 24.6% from 66.4 million patrons to 50.0 million patrons, partially offset by a 0.7% 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 June 30, 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, increases in IMAX and other PLF screen volumes as a percentage of attendance and increases in attendance for alternative content partially offset by lower attendance for 3D content.

Food and beverage revenues decreased $121.1 million, or 24.8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in attendance and a decrease in food and beverage per patron. Food and beverage per patron decreased 0.3% from $7.36 to $7.34 due primarily to an

48

Table of Contents

increase in revenues in International markets as a percentage of consolidated revenues from 15.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2023 to 17.1% during the three months ended June 30, 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.

Total other theatre revenues decreased $16.5 million, or 14.3%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the decline in attendance which resulted in lower ticket fees, advertising revenues and income from gift cards and package tickets.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses decreased $185.1 million, or 14.7%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Film exhibition costs decreased $110.8 million, or 28.9%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in attendance and lower film rental terms. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 48.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 51.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in film exhibition cost percentage is primarily due to the concentration of box office revenues in higher grossing films in the prior year, which typically results in higher film exhibition costs.

Food and beverage costs decreased $21.8 million, or 23.8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in food and beverage costs was primarily due to lower food and beverage revenues. As a percentage of food and beverage revenues, food and beverage costs were 19.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 18.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Operating expense decreased by $22.5 million, or 5.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating expense was primarily due to the decrease in attendance. As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 37.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 30.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Rent expense decreased 1.1%, or $2.4 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Merger, acquisition, and other costs. Merger, acquisition, and other costs were $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Other. Other general and administrative expense decreased $9.1 million, or 15.7%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, due primarily to declines in bonus expense as a result of lower than expected annual performance compared to annual targets in the current year compared to the prior year and lower stock-based compensation expense. 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 $18.0 million, or 18.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to theatre closures and lower depreciation expense on theatres impaired during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Other income. Other income of $(108.2) million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a gain on extinguishment of debt of $(85.3) million related to the redemption of $173.85 million aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2026, $(19.1) million of recoveries related to the Shareholder Litigation and $(2.6) million of other settlement proceeds. Other income of $(31.1) million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to $(1.2) million of income related to a proposed settlement of the Shareholder Litigation comprised of $(1.2) million of non-cash income for the decrease in estimated fair value as of June 30, 2023 of settlement shares proposed to be issued to holders of AMC Class A Common Stock, gains on extinguishment of debt of $(21.6) million related to the redemption of $42.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2026 and $(7.5) million in foreign currency transaction gains. See Note 1—Basis of Presentation in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about the components of other expense (income).

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $3.6 million to $99.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $102.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to lower interest expense on the Second Lien Notes due 2026 due to redemptions of principal balances, partially offset by an increase in interest rates on the Senior Secured Credit Facility Term Loan Due 2026. 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

Investment (income) expense. Investment income was $(6.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to expense of $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Investment income in the current year includes interest income of $(5.4) million, $(0.4) million of increase in estimated fair value of our investment in common shares of Hycroft, and $(0.3) million of increase in estimated fair value of our investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft. Investment expense in the prior year includes $3.2 million of decline in estimated fair value of our investment in common shares of Hycroft, $2.3 million of decline in estimated fair value of our investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft and $2.1 million of expense for NCM common units, partially offset by interest income of $(2.5) million.

Income tax provision. The income tax provision was $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively. 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 for further information.

Net earnings (loss). Net earnings (loss) was $(32.8) million and $8.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively. Net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was negatively impacted by the decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year and an increase in income tax provision, partially offset by decreases in rent expense, general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and investment expense and increases in other income.

Theatrical ExhibitionU.S. Markets

Revenues. Total revenues decreased $271.5 million, or 25.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Admissions revenues decreased $150.7 million or 25.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in attendance of 27.0% from 50.0 million patrons to 36.5 million patrons, partially offset by a 2.0% increase in average ticket price. The decrease in attendance was primarily due to the popularity of film product compared to the prior year. The availability and popularity of film product released during the three months ended June 30, 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.

Admissions revenues decreased $183.3 million, or 14.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in attendance of 15.2% from 114.0 million patrons to 96.6 million patrons, partially offset by a 1.1% 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 six months ended June 30, 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, increases in IMAX and other PLF screen volumes as a percentage of attendance and increases in attendance for alternative content partially offset by lower attendance for 3D content.

Food and beverage revenues decreased $128.6 million, or 15.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in attendance and a decrease in food and beverage per patron.

The decrease in film exhibition cost percentage is primarily due to the concentration of box office revenues in higher grossing films in the prior year, which typically results in higher film exhibition costs.

Food and beverage costs decreased $20.2 million, or 13.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in food and beverage costs was primarily due to lower food and beverage revenues.

Other expense of $21.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to $125.4 million of expense related to a proposed settlement of the Shareholder Litigation comprised of $10.0 million of estimated legal fees and $115.4 million of non-cash expense for the estimated fair value as of June 30, 2023 of settlement shares proposed to be issued to holders of AMC Class A Common Stock, partially offset by a gain on extinguishment of debt of $(84.4) million related to the redemption of $141.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2026, a gain on extinguishment of debt of $(2.3) million related to the redemption of $4.1 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 and a receipt of $(14.0) million in settlement of the Lao Action. See Note 1—Basis of Presentation in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about the components of other expense (income).

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $3.6 million to $169.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $172.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to lower interest expense on the Second Lien Notes due 2026 due to redemptions of principal balances, partially offset by an increase in interest rates on the Senior Secured Credit Facility Term Loan Due 2026. 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 expense (income). Investment income was $(10.0) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to expense of $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Investment income in the current year includes interest income of $(10.3) million, partially offset by $0.1 million of decrease in the estimated fair value of our investment in common shares of Hycroft and $0.2 million of decrease in estimated fair value of our investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft. Investment expense in the prior year includes $5.5 million of decline in estimated fair value of our investment in common shares of Hycroft, $4.6 million of decline in estimated fair value of our investment in warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft and $1.8 million of expense for NCM common units, partially offset by interest income of $(4.8) million. 

Income tax provision. The income tax provision was $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively. 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 for further information.

Net loss. Net loss was $142.5 million and $188.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively. Net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were positively impacted by decreases in general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and investment expense and decreases in other expense, 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 and increases in income tax provision.

Theatrical Exhibition—International Markets

Revenues. Total revenues decreased $33.4 million, or 6.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Admissions revenues decreased $20.2 million, or 6.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in attendance of 6.1% from 31.6 million patrons to 29.7 million patrons and a decrease in average ticket price of 0.4%. The decrease in attendance was primarily due to the popularity of film product compared to the prior year.

Food and beverage revenues decreased $9.5 million, or 6.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in attendance and a decrease in food and beverage per patron. Food and beverage per patron decreased 0.2% from $4.66 to $4.65.

Total other theatre revenues decreased $3.7 million, or 6.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the decline in attendance which resulted in lower ticket fees and advertising revenues.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses decreased $14.8 million, or 2.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Film exhibition costs decreased $10.9 million, or 9.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in attendance and lower film rental terms. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 38.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 39.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in film exhibition cost percentage is primarily due to the concentration of box office revenues in higher grossing films in the prior year, which typically results in higher film exhibition costs.

Food and beverage costs decreased $2.9 million, or 7.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in food and beverage costs was primarily due to the decrease in food and beverage revenues. As a percentage of food and beverage revenues, food and beverage costs were 24.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 25.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Operating expense decreased by $1.3 million, or 0.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating expense was primarily due to lower utilities expense and the decrease in attendance. As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 42.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 40.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Rent expense increased 6.2%, or $6.7 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Other. Other general and administrative expense decreased $1.0 million, or 2.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $5.4 million, or 13.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to theatre closures and locations impaired in 2023 and lower depreciation expense on theatres impaired during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Other income. Other income of $(33.3) million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to the favorable settlement of a vendor dispute of $(36.2) million. Other income of $(15.9) million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to $(16.2) million in foreign currency transaction gains. See Note 1—Basis of Presentation in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about the components of other expense (income). See Note 1—Basis of Presentation in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information about the components of other income.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. 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 $(1.2) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and $(15.5) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Investment income in the current year includes $(1.2) million of interest income. Investment income in the prior year includes a gain on sale of our 10.0% interest in Saudi Cinema

Income tax provision. The income tax provision was $1.3 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively. 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 for further information.

Net loss. Net loss was $53.8 million and $38.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively. Net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was negatively impacted by the decrease in attendance as a result of the popularity of new film releases compared to the prior year, increases in rent expense and increases in interest expense, partially offset by decreases in general and administrative expense, decreases in depreciation and amortization expense an increases in other income.

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.

We had working capital deficit (excluding restricted cash) as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 of ($624.0) million and $(456.4) million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, working capital included operating lease liabilities of $512.2 million and $508.8 million, respectively, and deferred revenues of $399.1 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 June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $770.3 million.

We have continued to lower our future interest expense through debt exchanges for equity and enhanced liquidity through equity issuances. See Note 6Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities and 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 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.

On July 22, 2024, we completed a series of refinancing transactions with two creditor groups to refinance and extend to 2029 and 2030 the maturities of approximately $1.6 billion of the Company’s debt maturing in 2026.

On August 1, 2024, the Company completed follow-on open market repurchases of the Company’s Existing Term Loans, and in exchange, issued to such selling holders the Company’s New Term Loans pursuant to the New Term Loan Credit Agreement, by and among the Company and Muvico, LLC as co-borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent. As of August 1, 2024, the Company completed open market purchase of $1,864.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loans and issued $1,993.3 million aggregate principal amount of the New Term Loans. Accordingly, as of such date, the Company had approximately $31.0 million aggregate principal amount of Existing Term Loans outstanding. See Note 13Subsequent 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 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 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. 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 revenues will need to increase to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. North American box office grosses were down approximately 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 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 revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly.

There can be no assurance that the 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 had a negative impact in 2024 on the film slate for exhibition, the Company’s 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 $250.0 million, through an at-the-market offering program. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we raised gross proceeds of $250.0 million and paid fees to sales agents and incurred other third-party issuance costs of approximately $6.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, through the at-the-market offering of approximately 72.5 million shares of Common Stock. We paid $0.7 million of other third-party issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2024. We intend to use any net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the program to bolster liquidity, to repay, refinance, redeem or repurchase our existing indebtedness (including expenses, accrued interest and premium, if any) and for general corporate purposes.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, were $222.9 million and $203.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase in net cash flows used in operating activities was primarily due to the decline in attendance due to the impact of the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strikes that occurred during 2023. All things being equal, a decline in attendance results in less operating cash inflows that could be used to pay for the costs associated with our operations, thus creating an increase in net cash used in operations. The additional cash used in operating activities due to the decline in attendance was partially offset by reductions in rent repayments that were deferred during the COVID-19 pandemic and vendor dispute and other settlement proceeds received during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, were $93.5 million and $57.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Cash outflows from investing activities include capital expenditures of $95.1 million and $96.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 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 $6.0 million.

We fund the costs of constructing, maintaining, and remodeling our theatres through existing cash balances, cash generated from operations, landlord contributions, or capital raised, 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 provided by financing activities, as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, were $227.3 million and $62.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024, were primarily due to net proceeds from equity issuances of $243.0 million, 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 and Note 7—Stockholders’ Equity in the Notes to the 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 June 30, 2024.

Cash flows provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023, were primarily due to net proceeds from equity issuances of $175.7 million, partially offset by the repurchase of Second Lien Notes due 2026 for $82.4 million, and taxes paid for restricted unit withholdings of $14.2 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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 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.

Market risk on variable-rate financial instruments. As of June 30, 2024, we had an aggregate principal balance of $1,895.0 million outstanding under the Senior Secured 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 in the case of the Senior Secured Term Loans, 2.0% for base rate loans or 3.0% for SOFR loans. The rate in effect for the outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan due 2026 was 8.444% per annum at June 30, 2024, and 8.218% per annum at June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, we had no variable-rate borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities and had an aggregate principal balance of $1,895.0 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 $9.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

60

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2023, we had an aggregate principal balance of $1,915.0 million outstanding under the Senior Secured 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 $9.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Market risk on fixed-rate financial instruments. Included in corporate borrowings as of June 30, 2024, were principal amounts of $950.0 million of our First Lien Notes due 2029, $777.6 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 $49.4 million and $(47.7) million, respectively, as of June 30, 2024.

Included in corporate borrowings as of June 30, 2023, were principal amounts of $950.0 million of our First Lien Notes due 2029, $1,148.4 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 $63.4 million and $(60.8) million, respectively, as of June 30, 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 June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, by approximately $5.4 million. Based upon the functional currencies in the International markets as of June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, by approximately $3.8 million.

Our foreign currency translation rates increased by approximately 0.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Reference is made to Note 11Commitments 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 and Part II Item 1A. in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

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 August 1, 2024, the outstanding shares of our Common Stock have increased by 356,146,947 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. 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. On July 22, 2024, as part of the Debt Refinancing, Muvico issued the Exchangeable Notes and the Additional Exchangeable Notes that are exchangeable into our Common Stock pursuant to the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes.

If the Exchangeable Notes and the Additional Exchangeable Notes are converted fully into shares of our Common Stock, they will be converted into an aggregate of up to 92,584,105 shares of Common Stock, which represents the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Exchangeable Notes, including a make-whole fee, determined as if the Additional Notes had been purchased by the holders of the Exchangeable Notes, and the outstanding Exchangeable Notes were converted in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of this report, without regard to any limitations on the conversion therein.

If the Exchangeable Notes and Additional Exchangeable Notes are converted fully into shares of our Common Stock prior to maturity, without regard to any limitations on the conversion therein, the maximum number of the Additional Exchangeable Notes are issued, and Muvico elects to pay interest by issuing PIK Notes during the life of the Exchangeable Notes, they will be converted into an aggregate of up to 129,051,873 shares of Common Stock representing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion therein.

As of August 1, 2024, there were 361,354,955 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, to settle conversion of the Exchangeable Notes and the Additional Exchangeable Notes, 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. The holders of the Exchangeable Notes may from time to time convert the Exchangeable Notes and Additional Exchangeable Notes into shares of our Common Stock, and Muvico may elect to pay interest-in-kind by issuing PIK Notes. Additionally, vesting of outstanding awards pursuant to our current and legacy equity compensation programs 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 significantly dilute 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 August 1, 2024, was $5.12 per share. During 2023 and 2024 to date, daily trading volume ranged from approximately 771,720 to 634,246,600 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:

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.
