Analysis · AMC · Trade & Services
A sweeping balance-sheet overhaul is underway at AMC: a $2B first lien notes offering, an $850M first lien term loan, and a $1.12B second lien term loan at 11.25% — roughly $3.97B in new financing to retire existing secured debt. The first lien notes priced at 8.875%, and the first lien term loan priced at SOFR+4.50% with a 1.50% original issue discount and expected maturity October 5, 2031, with closing expected on or around October 5, 2026. The tender offer for the 7.500% notes due 2029 is priced at $1,009.70 per $1,000, a premium to par, and the company disclosed preliminary two-month revenue up 42.2% year-over-year with $832.5M in cash. This critical refinancing extends maturities and reduces near-term default risk, but the 11.25% second lien rate underscores the high cost of capital AMC still faces.
