AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC and APE) (“AMC” or “the Company”), the largest theatrical exhibition company in the world, announced today that its shareholders approved both the Share Increase Proposal and the Reverse Split Proposal at its Special Meeting of Stockholders held today, March 14, 2023.

Commenting on the results, Adam Aron, AMC Entertainment Chairman and CEO said, “AMC’s shareholders exercised their rights today to have their voices be heard. They voted resoundingly in favor of proposals that we believe are crucial to AMC’s future. Shareholders overwhelmingly approved combining AMC common shares and APE units, with total votes 87% in favor, while significantly increasing the capacity to issue additional common shares, with total votes 88% in favor.If implemented, AMC should have an ability to raise a significant amount of equity capital in the months and years ahead. Winning these shareholder votes by such a lopsided margin is a powerful vote of confidence to allow AMC to raise equity capital, reduce debt, strengthen our balance sheet and continue our transformation.”

Aron continued, “As we reported in late February, there is litigation in the Delaware Court of Chancery surrounding the shareholder vote. We cannot implement the effects of this successful shareholder vote until a court ruling on that litigation. A court hearing on that litigation has been set for April 27, 2023, and we will continue to vigorously defend our position and seek to implement the will of our stockholders as expressed in these votes.”

Aron concluded, “Speaking both personally and for the Board and management of AMC Entertainment, I would like to thank our participating stockholders for their support of AMC and for their good judgment in the votes that were reported today. You gave us the tools we need to continue to fight the good fight on your behalf.”
