Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On June 3, 2020, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had commenced private offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) its outstanding 6.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Subordinated Sterling Notes”), 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Subordinated Notes”), 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Subordinated Dollar Notes”) and 6.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Subordinated Notes” and, together with the 2024 Subordinated Sterling Notes, the 2025 Subordinated Notes and the 2026 Subordinated Dollar Notes, the “Existing Subordinated Notes”) for newly issued 12% Cash/PIK Second Lien Secured Notes due 2026 (the “New Notes”) and related consent solicitations (the “Consent Solicitations”).

 

In connection with the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, the Company entered into non-disclosure agreements (collectively, the “Non-Disclosure Agreements”) with various holders of the Existing Subordinated Notes (the “Ad Hoc Noteholders”) regarding potential transactions to enhance the Company’s capital structure. On June 17, 2020 the Company made a proposal to the Ad Hoc Noteholders, which proposal is attached as Exhibit 99.1 (the “Confidential Information”) and the Company and the Ad Hoc Noteholders engaged in negotiations related to the Confidential Information. A Non-Disclosure Agreement with one of the Ad Hoc Noteholders has expired without extension and no further discussions are scheduled at this time with that entity. However, constructive negotiations are continuing with certain Ad Hoc Noteholder parties and representatives of a substantial portion of the Existing Subordinated Notes that remain under Non-Disclosure Agreements. The Company will continue to update investors as through 8-K filings if, and when appropriate, as to the status of the continuing negotiations described above.

 

The Confidential Information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure and should not be relied upon to make an investment decision with respect to the Company. The inclusion of the Confidential Information should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or its affiliates or representatives consider the Confidential Information to be a reliable prediction of future events, and the Confidential Information should not be relied upon as such. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates or representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate outcome of any potential restructuring transaction involving the Existing Subordinated Notes, and none of them undertakes any obligation to publicly update the Confidential Information to reflect circumstances existing after the date when the Confidential Information was made or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Information are shown to be in error.

 

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information being furnished under Item 7.01 pursuant to this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
