AMC Entertainment Inc. Announces Completion of Cash Tender Offer
Kansas City, Missouri (March 7, 2012) – AMC Entertainment Inc. (“AMC” or the “Company”) announced today the completion of its cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to $160 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding $300 million aggregate principal amount of 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "Notes"). The Tender Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 6, 2012 (the “expiration date”). AMC received tenders from the holders of $108,965,000, or approximately 36.3%, of its outstanding Notes, of which $10,000 principal amount was tendered between the early tender date (as defined below) and the expiration date. The Company intends to accept for purchase all notes which were validly tendered and not withdrawn and which have not yet been accepted for purchase.
Under the terms of the Tender Offer, holders of the Notes who validly tendered and did not withdraw their Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 21, 2012 (the “early tender date”), and whose notes are accepted for purchase, will receive the "total consideration," which is equal to (i) $972.50 per $1,000.00 in principal amount of Notes validly tendered (the "tender consideration") plus (ii) $30.00 per $1,000.00 in principal amount of the Notes validly tendered (the "early tender premium"). Holders of the Notes who validly tender their Notes after the early tender date but on or before the expiration date, and whose notes are accepted for purchase, will receive only the tender consideration.
In addition, the Company intends to redeem $51,035,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes at a price of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes as soon as possible such that an aggregate of $160 million of Notes will be retired through the Tender Offer and the redemption.
Full details of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are included in the Company's Offer to Purchase.
This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the optional redemption provisions of the indenture governing the Notes, nor does it constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security. No offer, solicitation, or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
