| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On January 29, 2026, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “AMC”) and Muvico, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Muvico”), entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with certain holders of Muvico’s Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes,” and such holders, the “2029 Noteholders”), pursuant to which the Company, Muvico and the 2029 Noteholders agreed to amend the indenture governing the 2029 Notes (the “2029 Notes Indenture”). The amendments (the “Indenture Amendments”) will, among other things, provide the Company with the flexibility to refinance its outstanding term loan credit agreement and the 12.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 issued by Odeon Finco PLC, a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Odeon Cinemas Group Limited (“OCGL”) and an indirect subsidiary of the Company, with new debt that may be secured and guaranteed by the Company, OCGL and Muvico and their respective subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the parties agreed to cooperate (including cooperating with the trustee and the notes collateral agent) in good faith to memorialize and effectuate the Indenture Amendments as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event, no later than February 23, 2026. In consideration for the 2029 Noteholders’ agreement to the Indenture Amendments, AMC will pay the 2029 Noteholders a maximum fee of up to 17,806,866 shares (the “Consent Fee”), subject to a reduction depending on the trading price of the AMC common stock for a period following the date of the Letter Agreement.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In many cases, these forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “indicates,” “projects,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “predicts,” “plans,” “seeks,” and variations of these words and similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements the Company makes regarding entering into definitive documentation with respect to the Indenture Amendments, the payment of the Consent Fee, the Company’s expected revenue, net loss, capital expenditures, diluted loss per share, Adjusted EBITDA and estimated cash and cash equivalents, the potential for sustained growth, the Company’s cash generation potential, the potential for further debt equitization, the ability to achieve the Company’s AMC Go Plan, the Company’s financial runway and the continued box office recovery as well as the future box office outlook, including with respect to the full year 2026. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. These forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements related to AMC’s current expectations regarding the performance of its business, financial results, liquidity and capital resources and are based on information available at the time the statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks, trends, uncertainties and other facts that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks, trends, uncertainties and facts include, but are not limited to: the sufficiency of AMC’s existing cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity; AMC’s ability to obtain additional liquidity, which if not realized or insufficient to generate the material amounts of additional liquidity that will be required unless it is able to achieve more normalized levels of operating revenues, likely would result with AMC seeking an in-court or out-of-court restructuring of its liabilities; the effectiveness of the refinancing transactions completed in the third quarter of 2025 and the ability to further equitize existing debt; increased use of alternative film delivery methods or other forms of entertainment; the continued recovery of the North American and international box office; AMC’s significant indebtedness, including its ability to meet its covenants and limitations on AMC's ability to take advantage of certain business opportunities imposed by such covenants; shrinking exclusive theatrical release windows; the seasonality of AMC’s revenue and working capital; intense competition in the geographic areas in which AMC operates; risks relating to impairment losses, including with respect to goodwill and other intangibles, and theatre and other closure charges; motion picture production, promotion, marketing, and performance including labor stoppages affecting the production, supply and release schedule of theatrical motion picture content and choice of distributors to release fewer feature-length films as a result of the additional financial burden imposed by tariffs; the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology in the filmmaking process and audience acceptance of movies made utilizing AI technology; general and international economic, political, regulatory and other risks, including but not limited to rising interest rates; AMC’s lack of control over distributors of films; limitations on the availability of capital, including on the authorized number of AMC common stock; dilution of voting power caused by recent sales of AMC common stock and through the issuance of AMC common stock underlying Muvico’s exchangeable notes and the issuance of preferred stock; AMC’s ability to achieve expected synergies, benefits and performance from its strategic initiatives; AMC’s ability to refinance its indebtedness on favorable terms; AMC’s ability to optimize its theatre circuit; AMC’s ability to recognize interest deduction carryforwards, net operating loss carryforwards, and other tax attributes to reduce future tax liability; supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, increased cost and inflation; and other factors discussed in the reports AMC has filed with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks, trends, uncertainties, or facts materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Accordingly, the Company cautions you against relying on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. For a detailed discussion of risks, trends and uncertainties facing AMC, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as the Company’s other filings with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained by visiting the Company’s Investor Relations website at investor.amctheatres.com or the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
AMC does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update any information contained herein to reflect future events or circumstances, except as required by applicable law.
