This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Schedule 13D filed on January 4, 2023 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) and relates to AMC Preferred Equity Units (“APEs”), each constituting a depositary share representing a 1/100th interest in a share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the “Issuer”), having its principal executive offices at One AMC Way 11500 Ash Street, Leawood, KS 66211. The Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect, except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 1. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
 
“On February 7, 2023, in connection with the consummation (the “Closing”) of the previously announced Forward Purchase Agreement, the Issuer (i) issued to the Reporting Persons the Forward Purchase APEs for an aggregate purchase price of $75.1 million and (ii) simultaneously purchased from the Reporting Persons, on a private basis, $100 million aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes in exchange for the Exchange APEs.
 
Schedule I sets forth all other transactions that have occurred since the Original Schedule 13D with respect to APEs beneficially owned in the aggregate by the Reporting Persons (the “Additional Open Market Shares”). Except as otherwise set forth herein, the source of the funding for the purchase of the Additional Open Market Shares and Private Placement APEs was working capital from capital contributions and/or funds from lines of credit in the ordinary course of business of certain of the Reporting Persons.”
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

On February 9, 2023, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer agreed to a mutual waiver of the lock-up restrictions in the Forward Purchase Agreement restricting the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Private Placement APEs. In accordance with the mutual waiver, the lock-up restrictions will not apply to (i) sales of Private Placement APEs by the Reporting Persons in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of 26 million Private Placement APEs, and (ii) sales of APEs by the Issuer in an amount not to exceed $140 million. The Issuer also  agreed that prior to March 31, 2023, it will not  issue or exchange, without the Reporting Person’s prior written consent, any Common Stock  in return for cancellation of the Issuer’s outstanding indebtedness.
