AMC closes $3.97 billion refinancing, extending most debt maturities to 2031 and 2033

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 financing Written later

On October 5, 2026, AMC completed a $3.97 billion refinancing that included $2,000 million of 8.875% first lien notes due 2031, an $850 million first lien term loan due 2031, and a $1,120 million second lien term loan at a fixed 11.25% due 2033. The proceeds were used to tender for and redeem AMC's 7.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029, redeem Muvico's $903.4 million notes due 2029, and repay existing term loans. The company says the deal extends most of its debt maturities and reduces its cost of capital, but the new debt carries higher fixed rates than some of the instruments it replaced, so the net effect for shareholders depends on how the company manages these obligations.

Key points

  • $2,000 million 8.875% first lien notes due October 15, 2031, with semi-annual interest payable April 15 and October 15
  • $850 million first lien term loans due October 5, 2031, and $1,120 million second lien term loans at a fixed 11.25% due October 5, 2033
  • Tender offer for AMC Secured Notes: $355,515,000 of the $359,964,500 outstanding (about 98.8%) was tendered, with remaining notes to be redeemed on or about February 15, 2027
  • Muvico's $903.4 million 2029 senior secured notes to be redeemed in full
