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

On October 5 2026 AMC Entertainment closed a refinancing that raised $3.97 billion. The company issued $2 billion of 8.875 % first‑lien notes due October 15 2031 and borrowed $850 million in a new first‑lien term loan and $1.12 billion in a second‑lien term loan. Proceeds were used to fund a tender offer for its 7.500 % senior secured notes, redeem remaining 2029 notes and repay existing term facilities.

The refinancing lowers AMC’s cost of capital and pushes most debt maturities out to 2031 and 2033, which should improve its balance‑sheet flexibility and reduce refinancing risk, according to the company’s statement.
