Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 15, 2021, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") issued
$100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 15%/17% Cash/PIK Toggle First
Lien Secured Notes due 2026 (the "Notes") as contemplated by the previously
disclosed commitment letter with Mudrick Capital Management, LP, dated as of
December 10, 2020. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of
January 15, 2021 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the guarantors named
therein (the "Guarantors") and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and
collateral agent. The Indenture provides that the Notes are general senior
secured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed
on a joint and several senior secured basis by all of the Company's existing and
future subsidiaries that guarantee the Company's other indebtedness, including
the Senior Credit Facilities, the Existing First Lien Notes, the First Lien
Notes, the Convertible Notes, the Silver Lake First Lien Notes and the Second
Lien Notes (each as defined in the Indenture). The Notes and the note guarantees
are secured, on a pari passu basis with the Senior Credit Facilities, the
Existing First Lien Notes, the First Lien Notes, the Convertible Notes and the
Silver Lake First Lien Notes, on a first-priority basis by substantially all of
the tangible and intangible assets owned by the Company and guarantors that
secure obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities, the Existing First Lien
Notes, the First Lien Notes, the Convertible Notes and the Silver Lake First
Lien Notes, including pledges of the capital stock of certain of the Company's
and the guarantors' wholly-owned material subsidiaries (but limited to 65% of
the voting stock of any foreign subsidiary), subject to certain thresholds,
exceptions and permitted liens.
The Notes will bear cash interest at a rate of 15% per annum payable
semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, beginning on July 15, 2021.
Interest for the first three interest periods after the issue date may, at the
Company's option, be paid in PIK interest at a rate of 17% per annum, and
thereafter interest shall be payable solely in cash. The Notes will mature on
April 24, 2026.
The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time on or after
January 15, 2023, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. In
addition, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes using net proceeds from certain equity offerings on or prior to
January 15, 2023 at a redemption price equal to 115.000% of their aggregate
principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date
of redemption. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time prior
to January 15, 2023 at a redemption price equal to 100% of their aggregate
principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date
of redemption, plus an applicable make-whole premium.
The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Company's (and its restricted
subsidiaries') ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional
indebtedness, including additional senior indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends on or
make other distributions in respect of its capital stock; (iii) purchase or
redeem capital stock or prepay subordinated debt or other junior securities;
(iv) create liens ranking pari passu in right of payment with or subordinated in
right of payment to Notes; (v) enter into certain transactions with its
affiliates; and (vi) merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all
or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of
important limitations and exceptions. The Indenture also provides for events of
default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal,
premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then
outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any state and may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from
the applicable registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws.
The foregoing description of the Indenture is not intended to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture (including the form of
the Notes), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto.
