On June 25, AMC Entertainment fell 8.5% in regular trading, trading at $1.765/share, with turnover of approximately $36.18 million. The decline extends selling pressure triggered by the company's large-scale equity issuance earlier this week.
On the news front, AMC announced the closing of its registered direct offering of 95.3 million common shares for gross proceeds of approximately $200 million. The company stated it plans to use the net proceeds primarily to immediately call and redeem all of its $125.5 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior subordinated notes due 2027. Following the redemption, AMC does not expect any material debt principal repayments coming due prior to calendar year 2029. Remaining proceeds will be used to strengthen cash reserves and fund targeted growth-oriented investments.
The offering was priced on June 23 and triggered a 25.91% single-day plunge as markets reacted to the significant share dilution. With the settlement now complete, the stock continues to face residual selling pressure as the market absorbs the expanded share count, despite the improved debt maturity profile.
