The latest in AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock news.
July 1, 2025 — AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) has unveiled a significant financial restructuring agreement with key creditors, marking a pivotal step in its multi-year recovery from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The announcement, made via a press release and detailed in an 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 1, 2025, aims to strengthen the company’s balance sheet and position it for future growth amidst a resurgent box office.
In a post on X today, AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron highlighted the deal’s key components.
The agreement, pending consent from Term Loan Lenders representing at least 50.1% of AMC’s outstanding term loans, includes the following measures:
- New Financing: AMC will secure approximately $223 million in new debt financing, which will primarily be used to refinance principal repayment obligations due in 2026, enhancing the company’s liquidity.
- Debt-to-Equity Conversion: The deal will immediately convert $143 million of existing debt into equity, with the potential to increase this conversion to a total of $337 million, significantly reducing the company’s leverage.
- Litigation Resolution: The agreement fully resolves ongoing litigation with holders of AMC’s 7.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2029, stemming from a 2024 refinancing effort that extended much of the company’s debt maturities to 2029 and 2030.
The restructuring involves complex negotiations with creditors, including holders representing approximately 62% of the 7.5% Senior Secured Notes and 76% of Muvico, LLC’s 6.00%/8.00% Senior Secured Exchangeable Notes due 2030, as outlined in the 8-K filing.
Additionally, $590 million of existing notes will be exchanged for $825.1 million in new Senior Secured Notes due 2029, providing longer-term financial flexibility.
“This is enormously good news for AMC,” Aron said.
“Today, AMC issued a press release with a major announcement that is one of the more important developments in AMC’s multi-year effort to fight back from the ravages that COVID prompted in 2020 (and its resulting aftermath since) both on the movie theatre industry generally and on our company specifically.”
Investor sentiment on X is mixed, with many shareholders scrutinizing the CEO for further dilution.
“Dilution is not what you promised. I know it’s for long time gain, but you should have done it when you have strong Qs,” said one user on X.
“Market doesn’t seem to think so. Also, what about no more dilution this year?,” lamented another.
“Enormously good news for who? And down the stock goes… The only CEO still talking about Covid,” said @Tony_Liberty22.

What This Means for The Company
Aron emphasized the timing of the announcement, noting a robust box office recovery since April 2025, driven by successful releases such as Minecraft, Sinners, Lilo & Stitch, Thunderbolts, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, How to Train Your Dragon, F1, Jurassic World Rebirth, and Superman.
This resurgence aligns with industry projections of the strongest box office performance in five years.
In a follow-on X post, Aron included a standard cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements, as required by legal counsel.
He directed stakeholders to review the full press release and 8-K filing for detailed information, noting that these documents are available on the SEC’s website and AMC’s investor relations page.
The deal reflects strong creditor support for AMC’s recovery strategy, with Aron describing it as “yet another important and strategic move” to fortify the company’s financial footing post-pandemic.
Despite the positive company announcement, AMC’s stock experienced a 9.19% drop on July 1.
The agreement also resolves a lawsuit with noteholders, returning claims to theaters and assets previously held as collateral.
AMC shareholders and investors are encouraged to monitor the public consent process and review the official filings for updates.
The company’s 2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting is scheduled for December 10, 2025, with a deadline of August 29, 2025, for stockholder proposals to be submitted for inclusion in the proxy statement, per the 8-K filing.
AMC stock is currently trading at $2.82 at the time of this writing — will investors ever recoup their losses?
