Bank stock jumps 5% after Tikri Partners bought 2.2% stake in the company via bulk deal
Stocktwits - AMC Entertainment Holdings (AMC) on Tuesday entered into a comprehensive deal with key debt holders to reduce its debt load and resolve lingering legal disputes.
AMC Entertainment stock traded over 6% lower in Tuesday’s premarket after the news.
The agreement brings together multiple creditor groups representing significant portions of the company’s outstanding debt instruments.
The arrangement includes $223.3 million in new funding primarily intended to refinance debt that comes due in 2026. The transaction also marks a pivotal moment in AMC’s restructuring, as the company will immediately convert at least $143 million of some of its existing debt into equity, with the potential to swap up to $337 million in total.
The package includes a settlement that ends litigation involving holders of AMC’s 7.5% Senior Secured Notes due in 2029.
The deal has received backing from major creditor factions, including investors holding roughly 62% of the 7.5% notes, 76% of Muvico LLC’s 6.00%/8.00% exchangeable notes maturing in 2030, and 14% of the lenders under AMC’s current term loan credit structure.
Final approval depends on securing consent from at least half of the term loan holders, excluding those involved in the equity conversion.
Under the outlined terms, participating holders of the 7.5% notes will offer the new $223 million in financing and swap $590 million of existing notes for a total of $825.1 million in newly issued Senior Secured Notes due 2029.
Meanwhile, exchangeable noteholders will receive 79.8 million shares of Class A common stock in return for $143 million of debt and have the option to convert another $195 million, depending on AMC’s stock performance.
The arrangement not only addresses near-term liquidity needs but also positions AMC for balance sheet flexibility as it navigates post-pandemic recovery challenges.
In the first quarter (Q1), AMC’s revenue declined 9% year-on-year to $862.5 million, but still surpassed analyst expectations of $837.05 million, as per Finchat data.
The company’s loss per share (EPS) was $0.58, slightly better than the projected $0.61 loss.
In April, AMC and IMAX Corp (IMAX) entered into a deal to roll out IMAX with Laser technology at more than 180 AMC and IMAX theaters nationwide.
