Analysis · AMC · Trade & Services
Two days after unveiling the structure of its $3.97 billion refinancing package, AMC has now locked in pricing. The $2 billion of first lien notes carry an 8.875% coupon, while the $850 million term loan prices at SOFR plus 4.50% with a 1.50% original issue discount. This marks the final step before the October 5 closing, which will retire the 7.500% AMC Secured Notes due 2029, the $903.4 million Muvico 1.5L Notes, and two existing term loan facilities. The refinancing extends maturities to 2031 and removes near-term refinancing risk, but the new debt is significantly more expensive than the paper it replaces — a direct cost of AMC's still-leveraged balance sheet.
