With management’s participation, an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was conducted as of December 31, 2023, based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023.

Aron ​ Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ /s/ S EAN D. G OODMAN ​ Executive Vice President, International Operations, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer ​ ​ ​ ​ 67 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm ​ To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 28, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Impairment of long-lived assets Description of the Matter ​ At December 31, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges related to long-lived assets of $49.2 million and $57.7 million on theatres in the US and International markets, respectively. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be fully recoverable. Asset groups are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which management believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be generated 68 Table of Contents by the asset groups and compares those estimates to the carrying value of the related asset groups. If the carrying value exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows, the asset group may be impaired. If the asset group is determined to be impaired, the carrying value of the asset group is reduced to fair value as estimated by a discounted cash flow model, with the difference recorded as an impairment charge. Auditing management’s long-lived asset impairment analysis was highly judgmental due to the estimation required in determining the undiscounted cash flows and related fair values of an impaired asset group. In particular, the cash flows were sensitive to significant assumptions such as admissions revenue expectations, long term growth rates, and discount rates. How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit ​ We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s assessment of the projected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by asset groups, and cash flows used to determine fair value for certain asset groups. This included internal controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions underlying the undiscounted cash flow and fair value determination. We also tested management’s controls to validate that the data used in the analysis was complete and accurate. ​ To test the significant assumptions described above, we performed audit procedures that included testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in the analysis. We compared the significant assumptions used by the Company to current industry and economic trends. We performed a sensitivity analysis of the impact of certain assumptions on the estimates and recalculated management’s estimates. We also involved our valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the discount rate used in the fair value estimates. ​ ​ ​ /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020 Kansas City, Missouri February 28, 2024 69 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm ​ To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 and our report dated February 28, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Kansas City, Missouri February 28, 2024 ​ 70 Table of Contents AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC. ​ CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ​ 76 Table of Contents AMC ENTERTAINM ENT HOLDINGS, INC. ​ NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ​ Years Ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 ​ NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ​ AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively with Holdings, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” or “AMC”), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres located in the United States and Europe. Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split. On August 4, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special dividend of one AMC Preferred Equity Unit for each share of Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) outstanding at the close of business August 15, 2022, the record date. The dividend was paid at the close of business August 19, 2022 to investors who held Common Stock as of August 22, 2022, the ex-dividend date. Due to the characteristics of the AMC Preferred Equity Units, the special dividend had the effect of a stock split pursuant to ASC 505-20-25-4. On August 24, 2023, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, each share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock became convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, and by extension each AMC Preferred Equity Unit became equivalent to one -tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. The Company concluded that this change in conversion ratio is analogous to a reverse stock split of the AMC Preferred Equity Units even though the reverse stock split did not have an effect on the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, unit, per unit, or common share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect both the effects of the special dividend as a stock split and the subsequent reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on their equivalent Common Stock shares. Liquidity. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its operations and satisfy its obligations currently and through the next twelve months. The Company is subject to a minimum liquidity requirement of $ 100.0 million as a condition to the financial covenant suspension period under the Credit Agreement. The Company believes it will comply with the minimum liquidity requirement through the current maturity date of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility on April 22, 2024. The Company currently does not expect to extend such maturity or replace the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility upon maturity, although it may seek to replace it in the future. The Company’s cash burn rates are not sustainable long-term. In order to achieve sustainable net positive operating cash flows and long-term profitability, the Company believes that operating revenues will need to increase to levels in line with pre-COVID-19 operating revenues. North America box office grosses were down approximately 21 % for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Until such time as the Company is able to achieve positive operating cash flow, it is difficult to estimate the Company’s liquidity requirements, future cash burn rates, future operating revenues, and attendance levels. Depending on the Company’s assumptions regarding the timing and ability to achieve levels of operating revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly. There can be no assurance that the operating revenues, attendance levels, and other assumptions used to estimate the Company’s liquidity requirements and future cash burn rates will be correct, and the ability to be predictive is uncertain due to limited ability to predict studio film release dates, the overall production and theatrical release levels, and success of individual titles. Additionally, the effects of labor stoppages, including but not limited to the Writers Guild of America strike and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike that occurred during 2023 cannot be reasonably estimated and are expected to have a negative impact in 2024 on the future 77 Table of Contents film slate for exhibition, the Company’s future liquidity and cash burn rates. Further, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating the additional liquidity necessary to meet its obligations beyond twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as it may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, its liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material and to the extent equity is used, dilutive. On December 22, 2022, the Company entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement with Antara pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) sell to Antara 10,659,511 AMC Preferred Equity Units for an aggregate purchase price of $ 75.1 million and (ii) simultaneously purchase from Antara $ 100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10 %/ 12 % Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes due 2026 in exchange for 9,102,619 AMC Preferred Equity Units.

See Note 9—Stockholders’ Deficit for further information regarding the at-the-market offerings. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 20.8 million AMC Preferred Equity Units. The Company generated approximately $ 228.8 million in gross proceeds from sales under one “at-the-market” offering program, paid fees to the sales agents and incurred third-party issuance costs of approximately $ 5.7 million and $ 5.5 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 24.2 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 24.2 million AMC Preferred Equity Units. The Company generated $ 1,611.8 million in aggregate gross proceeds from sales under various “at-the-market” offering programs, paid fees to the sales agents of approximately $ 40.3 million and paid other fees of $ 0.8 million. Temporarily Suspended or Limited Operations. For approximately the first six months of the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had suspended or limited operations in our International markets segment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, substantially all of our International markets theatres had resumed operations. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries, as discussed above. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, a portion of its stockholders’ deficit, net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company manages its business under two reportable segments for its theatrical exhibition operations: U.S. markets and International markets. Noncontrolling Interests and Baltic Theatre Sale. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements; consequently, a portion of its stockholders’ deficit, net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to noncontrolling interests. On August 28, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its equity interest in Forum Cinemas OU, which consists of nine theatres located in the Baltic region (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) and that were included in the Company’s International markets reportable segment, for total consideration of approximately € 77.25 million, including cash of approximately € 64.35 million or $ 76.6 million prior to any transaction costs. This transaction was undertaken by the Company to further increase its liquidity and strengthen its balance sheet. The completion of the sale took place in several steps, as noted below, and was contingent upon clearance from each regulatory competition council in each country. The Company received $ 37.5 million (€ 31.53 million) cash consideration upon entering into the sale agreement on August 28, 2020 and paid $ 0.5 million in transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company transferred an equity interest of 49 % in Forum Cinemas OU to the purchaser and recorded an initial noncontrolling interest of $ 34.9 million in total equity (deficit). Transaction costs of $ 1.4 million and net gain of $ 1.2 million related to the sale of 49 % equity interest of Lithuania and Estonia and the 100 % disposal of Latvia were recorded in additional paid-in capital during the year ended December 31, 2020 and were recorded in earnings during the year ended December 31, 2021 when the remaining 51 % interests in Lithuania and Estonia were disposed. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received cash consideration of $ 6.2 million (€ 5.3 million), net of cash of $ 0.2 million for the remaining 51 % equity interest in Latvia. At December 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities included as part of the disposal group that were previously included in the International markets reportable segment were; goodwill of $ 41.8 million, property, net, of $ 13.0 million, operating lease right-of-use assets, net of $ 15.7 million, and current and long-term operating lease liabilities of $ 2.4 million and $ 13.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2020, the Company’s noncontrolling interest of 49 % in Lithuania and Estonia was $ 26.9 million. ​ 79 Table of Contents During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received cash consideration of $ 34.2 million (€ 29.4 million), net of cash disposed of $ 0.4 million and transaction costs of $ 1.3 million, for the remaining 51 % equity interest in Estonia, 51 % equity interest in Lithuania and eliminated the Company’s noncontrolling interest in Forum Cinemas OU. The Company recorded the net gain from the sale of its equity interest in Forum Cinemas OU of $ 5.5 million (net of transaction costs of $ 2.6 million) in investment expense (income) , during the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenues. The Company recognizes revenue, net of sales tax, when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Admissions and food and beverage revenues are recorded at a point in time when a film is exhibited to a customer and when a customer takes possession of food and beverage offerings. The Company defers 100 % of the revenue associated with the sales of gift cards and exchange tickets until such time as the items are redeemed or estimated income from non-redemption is recorded. The Company recognizes income from non-redeemed or partially redeemed gift cards in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer (“proportional method”) where it applies an estimated non-redemption rate for its gift card sales channels, which range from 13 % to 19 % of the current month sales of gift cards, and the Company recognizes in other theatre revenues the total amount of expected income for non-redemption for that current month’s sales as income over the next 24 months in proportion to the pattern of actual redemptions. The Company has determined its non-redeemed rates and redemption patterns using more than 10 years of accumulated data. The Company also recognizes income from non-redeemed or partially redeemed exchange tickets using the proportional method. In the International markets, certain exchange tickets are subject to expiration dates, which triggers recognition of non-redemption in other revenues. The Company recognizes ticket fee revenues based on a gross transaction price. The Company is a principal (as opposed to agent) in the arrangement with third-party internet ticketing companies in regard to the sale of online tickets because the Company controls the online tickets before they are transferred to the customer. The online ticket fee revenues and the third-party commission or service fees are recorded in the line items other theatre revenues and operating expense, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. Film Exhibition Costs. Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and estimates of the final settlement to the film licensors. Film exhibition costs include certain advertising costs. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded film payables of $ 130.9 million and $ 123.8 million, respectively, which are included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Food and Beverage Costs. The Company records rebate payments from vendors as a reduction of food and beverage costs when earned. Exhibitor Services Agreement. The Company recognizes advertising revenues, which are included in other theatre revenues in the consolidated statements of operations, when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customers. The advertising contracts with customers generally consist of a series of distinct periods of service, satisfied over time, to provide rights to advertising services. The Company’s Exhibitor Services Agreement (“ESA”) with National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”) includes a significant financing component due to the significant length of time between receiving the non-cash consideration and fulfilling the performance obligation. The Company receives the non-cash consideration in the form of common membership units from NCM, in exchange for rights to exclusive access to the Company’s theatre screens and attendees through February 2037. Upon recognition, the Company records an increase to advertising revenues with a similar offsetting increase in non-cash interest expense, which is recorded to non-cash NCM exhibitor service agreement in the consolidated statements of operations. Pursuant to the calculation requirements for the time value of money, the amortization method reflects the front-end loading of the significant financing component where more interest expense is recognized earlier during the term of the agreement than the back-end recognition of the deferred revenue amortization where more revenue is recognized later in the term of the agreement. See Note 2 — Revenue Recognition and Note 6 — Investments for further information regarding the common unit adjustment (“CUA”) and the fair value measurement of the non-cash consideration. ​ 80 Table of Contents Customer Loyalty Programs. AMC Stubs ® (“Stubs”) is a customer loyalty program in the U.S. markets which allows members to earn rewards, receive discounts and participate in exclusive members-only offerings and services. It features both a paid tier called AMC Stubs Premiere TM (“Premiere”) for a flat annual membership fee and a non-paid tier called AMC Stubs ® Insider TM (“Insider”). Both programs reward loyal guests for their patronage of AMC Theatres. Rewards earned are redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and food and beverage revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and food and beverage revenues and is allocated between admissions and food and beverage revenues based on expected member redemptions. Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. The Company estimates point breakage in assigning value to the points at the time of sale based on historical trends. The program’s annual membership fee is allocated to the material rights for discounted or free products and services and is initially deferred, net of estimated refunds, and recognized as the rights are redeemed based on estimated utilization, over the one-year membership period in admissions, food and beverage, and other revenues. A portion of the revenues related to a material right are deferred as a virtual rewards performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price method and are recognized as the rights are redeemed or expire. AMC Stubs ® A-List (“A-List”) is the Company’s monthly subscription-based tier of the Stubs loyalty program. This program offers guests admission to movies at AMC up to three times per week including multiple movies per day and repeat visits to movies from $ 19.95 and $ 24.95 per month depending upon geographic market. Revenue is recognized ratably over the enrollment period. Advertising Costs. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and does not have any direct-response advertising recorded as assets. Advertising costs were $ 43.6 million, $ 28.0 million, and $ 28.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are recorded in operating expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Cash and Cash Equivalents. All investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. At December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents for the U.S. markets and International markets were $ 752.3 million and $ 132.0 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $ 508.0 million and $ 123.5 million, respectively. Restricted Cash. Restricted cash is cash held in the Company's bank accounts in International markets as a guarantee for certain landlords. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet to the total of the amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended (In millions) ​ December 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents ​ $ 884.3 ​ $ 631.5 ​ $ 1,592.5 Restricted cash ​ ​ 27.1 ​ ​ 22.9 ​ ​ 27.8 Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows ​ $ 911.4 ​ $ 654.4 ​ $ 1,620.3 ​ Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are comprised of management contracts, a trademark, and trade names. Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets. The Company evaluates definite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be fully recoverable. Trademark and trade names are considered either definite or indefinite-lived intangible assets. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate. The Company first assesses the qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. There were no intangible asset impairment charges incurred during the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. ​ 81 Table of Contents Investments. The Company accounts for its investments in non-consolidated entities using either the cost or equity methods of accounting as appropriate, and has recorded the investments within other long-term assets in its consolidated balance sheets. Equity earnings and losses are recorded when the Company’s ownership interest provides the Company with significant influence. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-30-35-3, investment in a limited liability company, which prescribes the use of the equity method for investments where the Company has significant influence. The Company classifies gains and losses on sales of investments or impairments accounted for using the cost method in investment expense (income). Gains and losses on cash sales are recorded using the weighted average cost of all interests in the investments. Gains and losses related to non-cash negative common unit adjustments are recorded using the weighted average cost of those units in NCM. See Note 6 — Investments for further discussion of the Company’s investments in NCM. As of December 31, 2023, the Company holds equity method investments comprised of a 18.3 % interest in SV Holdco LLC (“SV Holdco”), a joint venture that markets and sells cinema advertising and promotions through Screenvision; a 50.0 % interest in Digital Cinema Media Ltd. (“DCM”), a joint venture that provides advertising services in International markets; a 32.0 % interest in AC JV, LLC (“AC JV”), a joint venture that owns Fathom Events offering alternative content for motion picture screens; a 14.6 % interest in Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition, LLC (“DCDC”), a satellite distribution network for feature films and other digital cinema content; a 50 % ownership interest in four U.S. motion picture theatres and approximately 50 % ownership interest in 61 theatres in Europe. Indebtedness held by equity method investees is non-recourse to the Company. Goodwill. The Company’s recorded goodwill was $ 2,358.7 million and $ 2,342.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets related to the acquisition of Holdings on August 30, 2012 and subsequent theatre business acquisitions. The Company evaluates goodwill at its two reporting units (Domestic Theatres and International Theatres). Also, the Company evaluates goodwill and its indefinite-lived trademark and trade names for impairment annually as of the beginning of the fourth quarter and any time an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value for a reporting unit below its carrying amount. In accordance with ASC 350-20-35-30, goodwill of a reporting unit shall be tested for impairment between annual tests by assessing the qualitative factors to determine if an event occurs or changes in circumstances that would warrant an interim ASC 350 impairment analysis. If an impairment analysis is needed, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test for goodwill, which involves estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing that value to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the difference is recorded as goodwill impairment charge, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Qualitative impairment tests . The Company performed a qualitative impairment test to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was less than their respective carrying amount as of its annual assessment date, October 1st. The Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of either of the Company’s two reporting units had been reduced below their respective carrying amounts at the annual assessment date for 2022 or 2023. The Company concluded that there were no triggering events that had occurred between the annual assessment date and December 31, 2023. Other Long-term Assets. Other long-term assets are comprised principally of investments in partnerships and joint ventures and capitalized computer software, which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. See Note 7 — Supplemental Balance Sheet Information. Accounts Payable. Under the Company’s cash management system, checks issued but not presented to banks frequently result in book overdraft balances for accounting purposes and are classified within accounts payable in the balance sheet. The change in book overdrafts is reported as a component of operating cash flows for accounts payable as they do not represent bank overdrafts. The amount of these checks included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $ 3.0 million and $ 2.2 million, respectively. Leases. The Company leases theatres and equipment under operating and finance leases. Many of the leases contain options to extend the leases for additional periods. The Company typically does not believe that the exercise of the renewal options is reasonably assured at the inception of the lease agreements and, therefore, considers the initial base term as the lease term. Lease terms vary but generally, the leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals, contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index and other indexes not to exceed certain specified amounts and variable rentals based on a percentage of revenues. The Company often receives contributions from landlords for 82 Table of Contents renovations at existing locations. The Company records the amounts received from landlords as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and amortizes the balance as a reduction to rent expense over the base term of the lease agreement. Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recorded at commencement date based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The minimum lease payments include base rent and other fixed payments, including fixed maintenance costs. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, which was determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. Operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and also elected the short-term practical expedient for all leases that qualify. As a result, the Company will not recognize right-of-use assets or liabilities for short-term leases that qualify for the short-term practical expedient, but instead will recognize the lease payments as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees. Short-term leases and sublease arrangements are immaterial. Equipment leases primarily consist of food and beverage and digital equipment. Impairment of Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles and theatre assets (including operating lease right-of-use assets) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be fully recoverable. The Company identifies impairments related to internal use software when management determines that the remaining carrying value of the software will not be realized through future use. The Company evaluates events or circumstances, including competition in the markets where it operates, that would indicate the carrying value of the asset groups may not be fully recoverable. If an event or circumstance is identified indicating carrying value may not be recoverable, the sum of future undiscounted cash flows is compared to the carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows, the asset group may be impaired. If the asset group is determined to be impaired, the carrying value of the asset group is reduced to fair value as estimated by a discounted cash flow model, with the difference recorded as an impairment charge. Asset groups are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which management believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The Company evaluates theatres using historical and projected data of theatre level cash flow as its primary indicator of potential impairment and considers the seasonality of its business when making these evaluations. The fair value of assets is determined as either the expected selling price less selling costs (where appropriate) or the present value of the estimated future cash flows, adjusted as necessary for market participant factors. There is considerable management judgment necessary to determine the estimated future cash flows and fair values of the Company’s theatres and other long-lived assets, and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates, which fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy, see Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements. The following table summarizes the Company’s impairments for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, (In millions) 2023 2022 ​ 2021 Impairment of long-lived assets ​ $ 106.9 ​ $ 133.1 ​ $ 77.2 Impairment of other assets recorded in investment expense (income) ​ ​ 1.0 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Total impairment loss ​ $ 107.9 ​ $ 133.1 ​ $ 77.2 During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded non-cash impairment of long-lived assets of $ 49.2 million on 68 theatres in the U.S. markets with 738 screens (in Alabama, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia) and $ 57.7 million on 57 theatres in the International markets with 488 screens (in Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and UK), which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded impairment losses of $ 1.0 million within 83 Table of Contents investment expense (income), related to equity interest investments without a readily determinable fair value accounted for under the cost method in the U.S. markets. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded non-cash impairment of long-lived assets of $ 73.4 million on 68 theatres in the U.S. markets with 817 screens and $ 59.7 million on 53 theatres in the International markets with 456 screens, which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded non-cash impairment of long-lived assets of $ 61.3 million on 77 theatres in the U.S. markets with 805 screens and $ 15.9 million on 14 theatres in the International markets with 118 screens, which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. Foreign Currency Translation. Operations outside the United States are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange. The resultant translation adjustments are included in foreign currency translation adjustment, a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net earnings (loss), except those intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature. If the Company substantially liquidates its investment in a foreign entity, any gain or loss on currency translation or transaction balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded as part of a gain or loss on disposition. Employee Benefit Plans. The Company sponsors frozen non-contributory qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. and frozen defined benefit pension plans in the U.K. and Sweden. The Company also sponsored a postretirement deferred compensation plan, which was liquidated during 2022, and also various defined contribution plans. The following table sets forth the plans’ benefit obligations and plan assets included in the consolidated balance sheets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. Pension Benefits ​ International Pension Benefits ​ ​ Year Ended ​ Year Ended (In millions) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Aggregated projected benefit obligation at end of period (1) ​ $ ( 79.3 ) ​ $ ( 79.7 ) ​ $ ( 71.9 ) ​ $ ( 66.8 ) Aggregated fair value of plan assets at end of period ​ 58.3 ​ 59.2 ​ 76.7 ​ 73.1 Net (liability) asset - funded status ​ $ ( 21.0 ) ​ $ ( 20.5 ) ​ $ 4.8 ​ $ 6.3 (1) At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, U.S. aggregated accumulated benefit obligations were $ 79.3 million and $ 79.7 million, respectively, and International aggregated accumulated benefit obligations were $ 71.9 million and $ 66.8 million, respectively. The Company does not expect to make a material contribution to the U.S. pension plans during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company intends to make future cash contributions to the plans in an amount necessary to meet minimum funding requirements according to applicable benefit plan regulations. The weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. Pension Benefits ​ International Pension Benefits ​ ​ December 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 Discount rate 4.76 % ​ 4.97 % ​ 4.53 % ​ 4.82 % Rate of compensation increase N/A ​ N/A ​ 2.07 % ​ 2.19 % ​ 84 Table of Contents The weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. Pension Benefits ​ International Pension Benefits ​ ​ Year Ended ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ 2023 2022 2021 2023 2022 2021 Discount rate 4.97 % ​ 2.66 % ​ 2.26 % ​ 4.82 % ​ 1.79 % ​ 1.78 % Weighted average expected long-term return on plan assets 6.56 % ​ 6.56 % ​ 6.57 % ​ 4.32 % ​ 1.57 % ​ 1.28 % Rate of compensation increase N/A ​ N/A ​ N/A ​ 2.19 % ​ 2.28 % ​ 2.29 % ​ The offset to the pension liability is recorded in stockholders’ deficit as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss. For further information, see Note 14—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for pension amounts and activity recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. For the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, net periodic benefit costs (credits) were $ 1.4 million, $( 0.6 ) million, and $( 0.9 ) million, respectively. The non-operating component of net periodic benefit costs is recorded in other expense (income) in the consolidated statements of operations. The following table provides the benefits expected to be paid in each of the next five years, and in the aggregate for the five years thereafter: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (In millions) ​ U.S. Pension Benefits ​ International Pension Benefits 2024 ​ $ 4.5 ​ $ 3.4 2025 ​ 4.8 ​ ​ 3.5 2026 ​ 5.0 ​ ​ 3.6 2027 ​ 5.1 ​ ​ 3.8 2028 ​ 5.4 ​ ​ 3.9 Years 2029 - 2032 ​ 28.3 ​ ​ 22.1 ​ The Company’s investment objectives for its U.S. defined benefit pension plan investments are: (1) to preserve the value of its principal; (2) to maximize a real long-term return with respect to the plan assets consistent with minimizing risk; (3) to achieve and maintain adequate asset coverage for accrued benefits under the plan; and (4) to maintain sufficient liquidity for payment of the plan obligations and expenses. The Company uses a diversified allocation of equity, debt, commodity and real estate exposures that are customized to the plan’s cash flow benefit needs. A weighted average targeted allocation percentage is assigned to each asset class as follows: equity securities of 37 %, debt securities of 59 %, and private real estate of 4 %. The International pension benefit plans do not have an established asset target allocation. Investments in the pension plan assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of December 31, 2023, for the U.S. investment portfolio, 92 % were valued using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and 8 % of the investment included pooled separate accounts valued using market prices for the underlying instruments that were observable in the market or could be derived by observable market data from independent external valuation information (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). As of December 31, 2023, for the International investment portfolio, 4 % consisting of cash and equivalents was valued using quoted market prices from actively traded markets (Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy), 28 % included mutual funds and collective trust funds valued using market prices for the underlying instruments that were observable in the market or could be derived by observable market data from independent external valuation information (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy) and 68 % were valued using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. During 2023, there was a ruling in the United Kingdom related to the validity of certain amendments to benefits in contracted-out salary-related defined benefit pension plans. The ruling is subject to an ongoing appeal. The ruling may potentially be applicable to certain defined benefit pension plans the Company has in the United Kingdom. While the Company does not believe the impact of this ruling will have a material impact on our projected benefit obligation, it will continue to monitor the appeals process. As of December 31, 2023, no specific adjustments for this matter have been included in estimating the projected benefit obligation and related net periodic benefit cost of the applicable plans. 85 Table of Contents The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans which include company match features in the U.S. and Internationally. The expense related to defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, was $ 9.8 million, $ 9.0 million, and $ 8.4 million, respectively. Income and Operating Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10. Under ASC 740-10, deferred income tax effects of transactions reported in different periods for financial reporting and income tax return purposes are recorded by the asset and liability method. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences of deferred income or expense items and recognizes changes in income tax laws in the period of enactment. Holdings and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and combined income tax returns in certain state jurisdictions. Foreign subsidiaries file income tax returns in foreign jurisdictions. Income taxes are determined based on separate Company computations of income or loss. Tax sharing arrangements are in place and utilized when tax benefits from affiliates in the consolidated group are used to offset what would otherwise be taxable income generated by Holdings or another affiliate. Casualty Insurance. The Company is self-insured for general liability up to $ 1.0 million per occurrence and carries a $ 0.5 million deductible limit per occurrence for workers’ compensation claims. The Company utilizes actuarial projections of its ultimate losses to calculate its reserves and expense. The actuarial method includes an allowance for adverse developments on known claims and an allowance for claims which have been incurred but which have not yet been reported. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded casualty insurance reserves of $ 22.8 million and $ 30.7 million, respectively. The Company recorded expenses related to general liability and workers’ compensation claims of $ 53.1 million, $ 49.8 million, and $ 37.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Casualty insurance expense is recorded in operating expense. Government Assistance. The Company recognizes government assistance when the conditions of the grant have been met and there is reasonable assurance that the assistance will be received. Grants relating to specific costs are treated as a reduction of that cost in the consolidated statement of operations. General grants are recorded within other expense (income). Grants related to the construction of long-lived assets are treated as reductions to the cost of the associated assets. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized government assistance in other income of $ 4.8 million, primarily related to grants in the International markets. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized government assistance in other income of $ 25.8 million, primarily related to grants in the International markets. The general requirements of the grants were that the grantees must have lost income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company concluded all grant criteria had been met and therefore have recognized the entire award. Additionally, the Company recognized $ 3.2 million and $ 1.9 million of government assistance as reduction to property, net during the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The assistance relates to the construction of capital assets related to the innovation, modernization, and digitalization of the theatrical exhibition industry in certain countries in the International markets. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company was awarded $ 10.0 million of tax credits in our International markets that have been or will be utilized to offset employer payroll tax or value-added tax liabilities. The tax credits by the government to support entities in the film exhibition industry. The Company has recorded these credits as reductions to rent expense and operating expense as those expenses were the basis for the tax credits awarded. 86 Table of Contents Other Expense (Income): The following table sets forth the components of other expense (income): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, (In millions) 2023 2022 2021 Credit income related to contingent lease guarantees ​ $ — ​ $ ( 0.2 ) ​ $ ( 5.7 ) Governmental assistance - International markets ​ ​ ( 3.8 ) ​ ​ ( 23.0 ) ​ ​ ( 81.5 ) Governmental assistance - U.S. markets ​ ​ ( 1.0 ) ​ ​ ( 2.8 ) ​ ​ ( 5.6 ) Foreign currency transaction gains ​ ​ ( 17.8 ) ​ ​ ( 12.3 ) ​ ​ ( 9.8 ) Non-operating components of net periodic benefit cost (income) ​ ​ 1.4 ​ ​ ( 0.6 ) ​ ​ ( 0.7 ) Loss on extinguishment - First Lien Notes due 2025 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 47.7 ​ ​ — Loss on extinguishment - First Lien Notes due 2026 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 54.4 ​ ​ — Loss on extinguishment - First Lien Toggle Notes due 2026 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 32.9 ​ ​ 14.4 Gain on extinguishment - Second Lien Notes due 2026 ​ ​ ( 140.5 ) ​ ​ ( 75.0 ) ​ ​ — Gain on extinguishment - Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 ​ ​ ( 2.3 ) ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Gain on extinguishment - Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 3.7 ) ​ ​ — Loss on extinguishment - Odeon Term Loan Facility ​ ​ — ​ ​ 36.5 ​ ​ — Financing fees related to modification of debt ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 1.0 Derivative stockholder settlement ​ ​ ( 14.0 ) ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Shareholder litigation ​ ​ 110.2 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Business interruption insurance recoveries ​ ​ ( 1.3 ) ​ ​ ( 0.3 ) ​ ​ — Other expense (income) ​ $ ( 69.1 ) ​ $ 53.6 ​ $ ( 87.9 ) ​ Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance providing optional expedients to account for the effects of reference rate reform to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the transition from the use of London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to an alternative reference rate. The Company elected to apply the optional expedients under ASC 848 to modifications of contracts that previously referenced LIBOR. The optional expedients eliminate the need to remeasure the contracts or reassess any accounting determinations. See Note 8—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Obligations for further discussion on the election of the optional expedients allowed under ASC 848. Accounting Pronouncements Issued Not Yet Adopted Segment Reporting . In November 2023, the FASB issued ASC 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require annual and interim disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024, and every interim period thereafter. Income Tax Disclosures . In December 2023, the FASB issued ASC 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require entities to disclose on an annual basis (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments would also require that entities disclose various information about income taxes paid and (1) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and (2) foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025. ​ 87 Table of Contents NOTE 2—REVENUE RECOGNITION ​ Disaggregation of Revenue.

The deferred revenues are being amortized to other theatre revenues over the remainder of the 30 -year term of the ESA ending in February 2037. ​ NCM Bankruptcy. On April 11, 2023, NCM filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Texas. NCM is the in-theatre advertising provider for the majority of the Company’s theatres in the United States. Under the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which became effective on August 7, 2023 (the “Plan”), NCM has assumed its agreements with the Company. As part of the Plan, on August 7, 2023, NCM issued 16,581,829 common units (“NCM Common Units”) that were owed to the Company as part of the annual common unit adjustment. But under the terms of the Plan and restructuring of the equity of NCM thereunder, the NCM Common Units were immediately cancelled upon the efficacy of the Plan. The Company has filed appeals with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, objecting to, among other things, certain terms of the Plan, including modification of the terms of the exhibitor services agreement with other parties that were not granted to the Company and appeal of the court’s order to approve cancellation of the NCM Common Unit issuance. The Company does not expect the NCM bankruptcy to have a material impact on the Company. Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations.

The Company typically does not believe that exercise of the renewal options is reasonably certain at the lease commencement and, therefore, considers the initial base term as the lease term. Lease terms vary but generally the leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals, contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index and other indexes not to exceed certain specified amounts and variable rentals based on a percentage of revenues. The Company often receives contributions from landlords for renovations at existing locations. The Company records the amounts received from landlords as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and amortizes the balance as a reduction to rent expense over the base term of the lease agreement. Equipment leases primarily consist of sight and sound and food and beverage equipment. The Company received rent concessions from lessors that aided in mitigating the economic effects of COVID-19 during the pandemic. These concessions primarily consisted of rent abatements and the deferral of rent payments. As a result, deferred lease amounts were approximately $ 56.3 million as of December 31, 2023. In instances where there were no substantive changes to the lease terms, i.e., modifications that resulted in total payments of the modified lease being substantially the same or less than the total payments of the existing lease, the Company elected the relief as provided by the FASB staff related to the accounting for certain lease concessions. The Company elected not to account for these concessions as a lease modification, and therefore the Company has remeasured the related lease liability and right-of-use asset but did not reassess the lease classification or change the discount rate to the current rate in effect upon the remeasurement. The deferred payment amounts have been recorded in the Company’s lease liabilities to reflect the change in the timing of payments. Those leases that did not meet the criteria for treatment under the FASB relief were evaluated as lease modifications. The deferred payment amounts for contractual rent amounts due and not paid are included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets and in change in accounts payable in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, the Company included deferred lease payments in operating lease right-of-use assets as a result of lease remeasurements. A summary of deferred payment amounts related to rent obligations for which payments were deferred to future periods is provided below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of ​ ​ ​ As of ​ ​ December 31, ​ Decrease ​ December 31, (In millions) ​ 2022 ​ in deferred amounts ​ 2023 Fixed operating lease deferred amounts (1) ​ $ 150.3 ​ $ ( 97.1 ) ​ $ 53.2 Finance lease deferred amounts ​ ​ 0.9 ​ ​ ( 0.9 ) ​ ​ - Variable lease deferred amounts ​ ​ 6.0 ​ ​ ( 2.9 ) ​ ​ 3.1 Total deferred lease amounts ​ $ 157.2 ​ $ ( 100.9 ) ​ $ 56.3 (1) During the year ended December 31, 2023, the decrease in fixed operating lease deferred amounts includes $ 14.3 million of rent payments that are included in change in accounts payable and $ 82.8 million included in deferred rent and other non-cash rent in the consolidated statements of cash flows. ​ 91 Table of Contents The following table reflects the lease costs for the years indicated below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, (In millions) ​ Consolidated Statements of Operations ​ 2023 ​ 2022 ​ 2021 Operating lease cost ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Theatre properties ​ Rent ​ $ 788.1 ​ $ 812.0 ​ $ 775.4 Theatre properties ​ Operating expense ​ ​ 2.0 ​ ​ 5.4 ​ ​ 1.1 Equipment ​ Operating expense ​ ​ 17.5 ​ ​ 8.6 ​ ​ 10.7 Office and other ​ General and administrative: other ​ ​ 5.4 ​ ​ 5.3 ​ ​ 5.4 Finance lease cost ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amortization of finance lease assets ​ Depreciation and amortization ​ ​ 2.0 ​ ​ 2.6 ​ ​ 4.6 Interest expense on lease liabilities ​ Finance lease obligations ​ ​ 3.7 ​ ​ 4.1 ​ ​ 5.2 Variable lease cost ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Theatre properties ​ Rent ​ ​ 85.4 ​ ​ 74.2 ​ ​ 52.6 Equipment ​ Operating expense ​ ​ 63.3 ​ ​ 60.0 ​ ​ 43.4 Total lease cost ​ ​ ​ $ 967.4 ​ $ 972.2 ​ $ 898.4 ​ The following table represents the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate as of December 31, 2023: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, 2023 ​ ​ Weighted Average ​ Weighted Average ​ ​ Remaining ​ Discount Lease Term and Discount Rate ​ Lease Term (years) ​ Rate Operating leases ​ ​ 8.7 ​ ​ 10.5 % Finance leases ​ ​ 13.3 ​ ​ 6.4 % ​ Cash flow and supplemental information is presented below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, (In millions) ​ 2023 ​ 2022 ​ 2021 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating cash flows used in finance leases ​ $ ( 3.7 ) ​ $ ( 3.8 ) ​ $ ( 2.9 ) Operating cash flows used in operating leases ​ ​ ( 986.4 ) ​ ​ ( 1,032.4 ) ​ ​ ( 883.2 ) Financing cash flows used in finance leases ​ ​ ( 5.6 ) ​ ​ ( 9.4 ) ​ ​ ( 9.0 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Landlord contributions: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating cashflows provided by operating leases ​ ​ 23.9 ​ ​ 19.9 ​ ​ 22.0 Supplemental disclosure of noncash leasing activities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities (1) ​ ​ 214.1 ​ ​ 277.3 ​ ​ 196.6 ​ (1) Includes lease extensions and option exercises. 92 Table of Contents Minimum annual payments required under existing operating and finance leases and the net present value thereof as of December 31, 2023 are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating Lease ​ Finance Lease (In millions) ​ Payments (2) ​ Payments (2) 2024 (1) ​ ​ 920.3 ​ ​ 8.4 2025 ​ ​ 884.3 ​ ​ 7.8 2026 ​ ​ 819.6 ​ ​ 7.6 2027 ​ ​ 754.6 ​ ​ 7.6 2028 ​ ​ 669.2 ​ ​ 7.2 Thereafter ​ ​ 2,802.3 ​ ​ 46.2 Total lease payments ​ ​ 6,850.3 ​ ​ 84.8 Less imputed interest ​ ​ ( 2,340.8 ) ​ ​ ( 29.4 ) Total operating and finance lease liabilities, respectively ​ $ 4,509.5 ​ $ 55.4 (1) The minimum annual payments table above does not include contractual cash rent amounts that were due and not paid, which are recorded in accounts payable as shown below, including estimated repayment dates: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Accounts Payable (In millions) ​ Lease Payments 2024 ​ ​ 4.4 2025 ​ ​ 0.8 2026 ​ ​ 0.7 2027 ​ ​ 0.3 2028 ​ ​ 0.1 Thereafter ​ ​ 0.1 Total deferred lease amounts recorded in accounts payable ​ $ 6.4 ​ (2) The minimum annual payments table above includes deferred undiscounted cash rent amounts that were due and not paid related to operating leases, as shown below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Operating Lease (In millions) ​ Payments 2024 ​ ​ 15.7 2025 ​ ​ 5.7 2026 ​ ​ 4.2 2027 ​ ​ 3.4 2028 ​ ​ 3.2 Thereafter ​ ​ 17.7 Total deferred lease amounts ​ $ 49.9 ​ As of December 31, 2023, the Company had signed additional operating lease agreements for two theatres that have not yet commenced of approximately $ 62.0 million, which are expected to commence in 2024 or thereafter, and carry lease terms of approximately 15 to 20 years . The timing of lease commencement is dependent on the landlord providing the Company with control and access to the related facility. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received a $ 13.0 million buyout incentive from a landlord which provided the landlord the right to terminate the lease of one theatre. The incentive was treated as a reduction to rent expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. ​ ​ ​ 93 Table of Contents NOTE 4— PROPERTY ​ A summary of property is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (In millions) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Property owned: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Land ​ $ 62.6 ​ $ 73.7 ​ Buildings and improvements ​ 205.8 ​ 209.4 ​ Leasehold improvements ​ 1,958.3 ​ 1,880.8 ​ Furniture, fixtures and equipment ​ 2,387.0 ​ 2,354.3 ​ ​ ​ 4,613.7 ​ 4,518.2 ​ Less: accumulated depreciation ​ 3,091.7 ​ 2,838.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ 1,522.0 ​ ​ 1,679.8 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Property leased under finance leases: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Building and improvements ​ ​ 56.5 ​ ​ 54.8 ​ Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization ​ ​ 18.1 ​ ​ 15.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ 38.4 ​ ​ 39.4 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,560.4 ​ $ 1,719.2 ​ ​ Property is recorded at cost or fair value, in the case of property resulting from acquisitions. The Company uses the straight-line method in computing depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements and buildings subject to a ground lease reflect the shorter of the expected useful lives of the assets or the base terms of the corresponding lease agreements for these leases for assets placed in service subsequent to the lease inception. The estimated useful lives are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Buildings and improvements 1 to 40 years Leasehold improvements ​ 1 to 20 years ​ Furniture, fixtures and equipment ​ 1 to 15 years ​ ​ Expenditures for additions (including interest during construction) and betterments are capitalized, and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal. Gains or losses resulting from property disposals are included in operating expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation expense was $ 337.5 million, $ 359.0 million, and $ 382.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. ​ 94 Table of Contents ​ NOTE 5—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS ​ The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill by reporting unit: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. Markets ​ International Markets ​ Consolidated Goodwill (In millions) ​ Gross Carrying Amount ​ Accumulated Impairment Losses ​ Net Carrying Amount ​ Gross Carrying Amount ​ Accumulated Impairment Losses ​ Net Carrying Amount ​ Gross Carrying Amount ​ Accumulated Impairment Losses ​ Net Carrying Amount Balance December 31, 2021 ​ $ 3,072.6 ​ $ ( 1,276.1 ) ​ $ 1,796.5 ​ $ 1,722.6 ​ $ ( 1,089.3 ) ​ $ 633.3 ​ $ 4,795.2 ​ $ ( 2,365.4 ) ​ $ 2,429.8 Currency translation adjustment ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 200.8 ) ​ ​ 113.0 ​ ​ ( 87.8 ) ​ ​ ( 200.8 ) ​ ​ 113.0 ​ ​ ( 87.8 ) Balance December 31, 2022 ​ $ 3,072.6 ​ $ ( 1,276.1 ) ​ $ 1,796.5 ​ $ 1,521.8 ​ $ ( 976.3 ) ​ $ 545.5 ​ $ 4,594.4 ​ $ ( 2,252.4 ) ​ $ 2,342.0 Currency translation adjustment ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 67.7 ​ ​ ( 51.0 ) ​ ​ 16.7 ​ ​ 67.7 ​ ​ ( 51.0 ) ​ ​ 16.7 Balance December 31, 2023 ​ $ 3,072.6 ​ $ ( 1,276.1 ) ​ $ 1,796.5 ​ $ 1,589.5 ​ $ ( 1,027.3 ) ​ $ 562.2 ​ $ 4,662.1 ​ $ ( 2,303.4 ) ​ $ 2,358.7 ​ Detail of other intangible assets is presented below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 ​ ​ Gross ​ ​ Gross ​ ​ ​ ​ Remaining ​ Carrying ​ Accumulated ​ Carrying ​ Accumulated (In millions) ​ Useful Life ​ Amount ​ Amortization ​ Amount ​ Amortization Amortizable Intangible Assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Management contracts 2 years ​ $ 1.7 ​ $ ( 1.6 ) ​ $ 9.3 ​ $ ( 9.2 ) ​ Starplex trade name ​ 3 years ​ ​ 7.9 ​ ​ ( 5.7 ) ​ ​ 7.9 ​ ​ ( 5.0 ) ​ Carmike trade name ​ none ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 9.3 ​ ​ ( 8.0 ) ​ Total, amortizable ​ ​ ​ $ 9.6 ​ $ ( 7.3 ) ​ $ 26.5 ​ $ ( 22.2 ) ​ Non-amortizing Intangible Assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ AMC trademark ​ ​ ​ $ 104.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 104.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ Odeon trade names ​ ​ ​ ​ 37.3 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 35.8 ​ ​ ​ ​ Nordic trade names ​ ​ ​ ​ 2.7 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2.8 ​ ​ ​ ​ Total, unamortizable ​ ​ ​ $ 144.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 143.0 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ See the impairment table in Note 1 — The Company and Significant Accounting Policies for information regarding indefinite and definite-lived intangible assets impairment amounts.

On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 10.0 % investment in Saudi Cinema Company, LLC for SAR 112.5 million ($ 30.0 million), and on January 24, 2023, the Saudi Ministry of Commerce recorded the sale of equity and the Company received the proceeds on January 25, 2023. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of $ 15.5 million in investment income during the year ended December 31, 2023. Investments in non-consolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2023, include interests in DCDC of 14.6 %, AC JV, owner of Fathom Events, of 32.0 %, SV Holdco, owner of Screenvision, of 18.4 %, and DCM of 50.0 %. The Company also has partnership interests in four U.S. motion picture theatres and approximately 50.0 % interest in 61 theatres in Europe. Indebtedness held by equity method investees is non-recourse to the Company. Investment in Hycroft On March 14, 2022, the Company purchased 2.3 million units of Hycroft for $ 27.9 million, with each unit consisting of one common share of Hycroft and one common share purchase warrant. The units were priced at $ 11.93 per unit. Each warrant is exercisable for one common share of Hycroft at a price of $ 10.68 per share over a 5-year term through March 2027. The preceding amounts have been adjusted for the one-for-ten reverse stock split Hycroft effectuated on November 15, 2023. Hycroft filed a resale registration statement to register the common shares and warrant shares for the sale under Securities Act on April 14, 2022 which became effective on June 2, 2022. The Company accounts for the common shares of Hycroft under the equity method and we have elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825-10. The Company account for the warrants as derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the fair value of the investments in Hycroft are remeasured at each subsequent reporting period and unrealized gains and losses are reported in investment income. The Company believes the fair value option to be the most appropriate election for this equity method investment as the Company is not entering the mining business. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded unrealized losses related to the investment in Hycroft of $ 12.6 million and $ 6.3 million, respectively, in investment expense (income), respectively. NCM Transactions Pursuant to the Company’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, from time to time common units of NCM held by the Founding Members will be adjusted up or down through a formula, primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by each Founding Member. The CUA is computed annually, except that an earlier CUA will occur for a Founding Member if its acquisition or disposition of theatres, in a single transaction or cumulatively since the most recent CUA, will cause a change of 2 % or more in the total annual attendance of all of the Founding Members. In the event that a CUA is determined to be a negative number, the Founding Member shall cause, at its election, either (a) the transfer and surrender to NCM of a number of common units equal to all or part of such Founding Member’s CUA or (b) pay to NCM an amount equal to such Founding Member’s CUA calculated in accordance with the CUA Agreement. In March 2021, the NCM CUA resulted in a negative adjustment of 3,012,738 common units for the Company, and therefore, the Company paid NCM cash of $ 9.2 million and recorded the amount as a reduction to deferred revenues for the ESA. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold its remaining approximately 1.4 million NCM shares and received net proceeds of $ 5.7 million, which were recorded in investment expense (income). In March 2022, the NCM CUA resulted in a positive adjustment of 5,954,646 common units for the Company. The Company received the units and recorded the common units as an addition to deferred revenues for the ESA at a fair value of $ 15.0 million, based upon a price per share of NCM of $ 2.52 on March 30, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold its shares of NCM for $ 1.5 million and recorded a realized loss in investment expense of $ 13.5 million. See Note 1 — The Company and Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2 — Revenue Recognition for further information regarding CUA and ESA. 96 Table of Contents DCIP Transactions During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received cash distribution of $ 12.2 million from DCIP, which the Company recorded as a reduction to its investment in DCIP. The distribution reduced the Company’s recorded investment below $ 0 and therefore the Company recorded equity in earnings of $ 4.0 million to increase its investment to $ 0 as the Company has not guaranteed any of the liabilities of DCIP. During the year ended December 31, 2022, DCIP ceased operations and the Company received a liquidation distribution of $ 3.4 million which the Company recorded as equity in earnings. AC JV Transactions On December 26, 2013, the Company amended and restated its existing ESA with NCM in connection with the spin-off by NCM of its Fathom Events business to AC JV, a newly-formed company owned 32 % by each of the Founding Members and 4 % by NCM. AC JV distributes alternative content to theatre exhibitors. As of December 31, 2019, Cinemark and Regal also amended and restated their respective ESAs with NCM in connection with the spin-off. The ESAs were modified to remove those provisions addressing the rights and obligations related to digital programing services of the Fathom Events business. Those provisions are now contained in the Amended and Restated Digital Programming Exhibitor Services Agreements (the “Digital ESAs”) that were entered into on December 26, 2013 by NCM and each of the Founding Members. These Digital ESAs were then assigned by NCM to AC JV as part of the Fathom spin-off.

The Company is party to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2013 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2015, that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2016, that certain Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2017, that certain Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2017, that certain Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2018, that certain Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2019, that certain Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2020, that certain Eighth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2020, that certain Ninth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2021, that certain Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement, also dated as of March 8, 2021, that certain Eleventh Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2021 (the “Eleventh Amendment”), that certain Twelfth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2023 (the “Twelfth Amendment”), and that certain Thirteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2023 (the “Thirteenth Amendment”) the “Credit Agreement”), with the issuing banks and lenders from time to time party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent (as successor to Citicorp North America, Inc., the “Administrative Agent”), pursuant to which the lenders have agreed to provide the Senior Secured Term Loans (as defined below) and the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below) are provided by a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions. On June 23, 2023, the Company and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent, entered into the Thirteenth Amendment, pursuant to which LIBOR, the benchmark rate upon which certain loans, commitments and/or other extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement incur interest, fees or other amounts, was replaced with Term SOFR, a benchmark rate reported by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited that is based on the secured overnight financing rate. Term SOFR under the Credit Agreement is subject to a credit spread adjustment equal to 0.11448 % per annum, 0.26161 % per annum, and 0.42826 % per annum for interest periods of one-month, three-months, or six-months or longer, respectively. The Thirteenth Amendment became effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on June 30, 2023. The Company elected to apply the optional expedients allowed under ASC 848 regarding the discontinuation of LIBOR and reference rate reform. Pursuant to ASC 848, the Thirteenth Amendment was determined to be an insubstantial modification. On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), with the requisite revolving lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the requisite revolving lenders party thereto agreed to extend the suspension period for the financial covenant applicable to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement (the “Covenant Suspension Period”) from a period ending March 31, 2021, to a period ending on March 31, 2022, which was extended by the Eleventh Amendment to a period ending on March 31, 2023, which was further extended by the Twelfth Amendment to a period ending on March 31, 2024 (the Covenant Suspension Period as so extended, the “Extended Covenant Suspension Period”). During the Extended Covenant Suspension Period, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its restricted subsidiaries to, (i) make certain restricted payments, (ii) subject to certain exceptions, incur any indebtedness for borrowed money that is pari passu or senior in right of payment or security with the Revolving Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (iii) make any investment in or otherwise dispose of any assets to any subsidiary of the Company that is not a Loan Party (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to facilitate a new financing incurred by a subsidiary of the Company. In addition, 101 Table of Contents as an ongoing condition to the suspension of the financial covenant, the Company also agreed to (i) a minimum liquidity test of $ 100 million, (ii) an anti-cash hoarding test at any time Revolving Loans are outstanding and (iii) additional reporting obligations. In addition, on March 8, 2021 the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company agreed not to consent to certain modifications to the Credit Agreement described in the Tenth Amendment without the consent of the majority of the revolving lenders party to the Tenth Amendment. The current maturity date of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility is April 22, 2024 and we currently do not expect to extend such maturity or replace the Senior Secured Revolving Facility upon such maturity. On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”) with Citicorp North America, Inc., as the administrative agent, pursuant to which certain restrictive provisions, including modifications to the covenants limiting indebtedness, liens, investments, asset sales and restricted payments, were added to the Credit Agreement to ensure that the terms and conditions of the First Lien Notes due 2026, the Convertible Notes due 2026 and the Second Lien Notes due 2026 (subject to certain exceptions) are not materially more favorable (when taken as a whole) to the noteholders than the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement (when taken as a whole) are to the lenders thereunder. On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”) with the requisite revolving lenders party thereto and Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent, pursuant to which the requisite revolving lenders party thereto agreed to suspend the financial covenant applicable to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility for the period from and after the effective date of the Seventh Amendment to and including the earlier of (a) March 31, 2021 and (b) the day immediately preceding the last day of the Test Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) during which the Company has delivered a Financial Covenant Election (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the Administrative Agent (such period, the “Initial Covenant Suspension Period”). During the Initial Covenant Suspension Period, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its restricted subsidiaries to, make certain restricted payments, and such conditions were further amended by the Ninth Amendment. As an ongoing condition to the suspension of the financial covenant, the Company agreed to a minimum Liquidity (as defined in the Seventh Amendment) test, which was amended by the Ninth Amendment. In addition, the Seventh Amendment provides for certain changes to the covenants limiting indebtedness, liens and restricted payments that were intended to match corresponding restrictions under the 10.5 % First Lien Notes due 2025 (the “First Lien Notes due 2025”) and to ensure that the terms and conditions of the First Lien Notes due 2025 (subject to certain exceptions) are not materially more favorable (when taken as a whole) to the noteholders than the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement (when taken as a whole) are to the lenders thereunder. Pursuant to the terms of the Seventh Amendment, these more restrictive terms will be operative until the repayment, satisfaction, defeasance or other discharge of the obligations under the First Lien Notes due 2025 or an effective amendment of, other consent or waiver with respect to, or covenant defeasance pursuant to the Indenture as result of which the covenants limiting indebtedness, liens and restricted payments thereunder are of no further force or effect. Certain provisions of the Seventh Amendment are amended by the Ninth Amendment. On April 22, 2019, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) with each lender party thereto and Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent. Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, the lenders agreed to provide senior secured financing of $ 2,225.0 million in aggregate, consisting of (i) $ 2,000.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured tranche B loans maturing April 22, 2026 (the “Senior Secured Term Loans”) and (ii) a $ 225.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (which is also available for letters of credit and for swingline borrowings on same-day notice) maturing April 22, 2024 (the “Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Senior Secured Term Loan Loans, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned material U.S. restricted subsidiaries. All obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to customary exceptions, including: ● a pledge of 100 % of the equity interests directly held by the Company and each guarantor in any wholly-owned material subsidiary of the Company or any guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any non-U.S. subsidiary of a U.S. subsidiary, will not include more than 65 % of the voting stock of such non-U.S. subsidiary), subject to certain exceptions; and 102 Table of Contents ● a security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement will require the Company to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with: ● 50 % (which percentage will be reduced to 0 % if the Company attains a certain secured net leverage ratio) of the Company’s annual excess cash flow; ● 100 % of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales by the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (including casualty and condemnation events, subject to de minimis thresholds), and subject to the right to reinvest 100 % of such proceeds, subject to certain qualifications; and ● 100 % of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries, other than certain debt permitted under the Credit Agreement. The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be used to reduce the installments of principal payments on the Senior Secured Term Loan. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty, except for customary “breakage” costs with respect to SOFR loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Senior Secured Term Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (1) an applicable margin plus a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) 0.50 % per annum plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (b) the prime rate announced by the Administrative Agent from time to time and (c) 1.00 % per annum plus Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) for a 1-month tenor or (2) Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.11448 % per annum, 0.26161 % per annum, and 0.42826 % per annum for interest periods of one-month, three months, or six-months or longer, respectively (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) plus (x) in the case of the Senior Secured Term Loans, 2.0 % for base rate loans or 3.0 % for SOFR loans or (y) in the case of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, an applicable margin based on the Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The rate in effect for the outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan due 2026 was 8.47 % per annum at December 31, 2023, and 7.27 % per annum at December 31, 2022. ​ The Credit Agreement contains other customary terms, including (1) representations, warranties and affirmative covenants, (2) negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, investments, distributions, prepayments of subordinated debt and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to baskets, thresholds and other exceptions, and (3) customary events of default. ​ The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions will also be subject to compliance with certain financial ratios. In addition, the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility includes a financial covenant that requires, in certain circumstances, compliance with a certain secured leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in a covenant suspension period under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility as described above. First Lien Notes Due 2029. On February 14, 2022, the Company issued $ 950.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.5 % First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (“First Lien Notes due 2029”), pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 14, 2022, among the Company, the guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, and cash on hand, to fund the full redemption of the then outstanding $ 500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10.5 % First Lien Notes due 2025 (“First Lien Notes due 2025”), the then outstanding $ 300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10.5 % First Lien Notes due 2026 (“First Lien Notes due 2026”), and the then outstanding $ 73.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 15 %/ 17 % Cash/PIK Toggle First Lien Secured Notes due 2026 (“First Lien Toggle Notes due 2026”) and to pay related accrued interest, fees, costs, premiums and expenses. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment related to this transaction $ 135.0 million in other expense during the year ended December 31, 2022. The deferred charges will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the First Lien Notes due 2029 using the effective interest method. 103 Table of Contents The First Lien Notes due 2029 bear cash interest at a rate of 7.5 % per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, beginning on August 15, 2022.

Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the indenture governing the First Lien Notes due 2029), the Company must offer to purchase the First Lien Notes due 2029 at a purchase price equal to 101 % of the principal amounts, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The First Lien Notes due 2029 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 Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The First Lien Notes due 2029 are secured, on a pari passu basis with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, 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 Secured Credit Facilities including pledges of capital stock of certain of the Company’s and the guarantor’s wholly-owned material subsidiaries (but limited to 65 % of the voting stock of any foreign subsidiary), subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens.

These covenants are subject to several important limitations and exceptions. The Company used the $ 363.0 million net proceeds from the Odeon Notes due 2027 and $ 146.7 million of existing cash to fund the repayment in full of the £ 147.6 million and € 312.2 million ($ 167.7 million and $ 308.9 million, respectively using October 20, 2022 exchange rates) aggregate principal amounts of the Odeon Term Loan Facility and to pay related accrued interest, fees, costs, premiums and expenses. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment related to this transaction of $ 36.5 million in other expense during the year ended December 31, 2022. 104 Table of Contents Prior to November 1, 2024, up to 35 % of the original aggregate principal amount of the Odeon Notes due 2027 may be redeemed at a price of 112.75 % of the principal thereof with the net proceeds of one or more certain equity offerings provided that the redemption occurs with the 120 days after the closing of such equity offerings.

In connection with the Exchange Offers on July 31, 2020, the Company issued $ 1,462.3 million aggregate principal amount of the new Second Lien Notes due 2026 in exchange for the Existing Subordinated Notes. The Second Lien Notes due 2026 were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of July 31, 2020, among the Company, the guarantors named therein and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee and collateral agent. The Company has reflected a premium of $ 535.1 million on the Second Lien Notes due 2026 as the difference between the principal balance of the Second Lien Notes due 2026 and the $ 1,997.4 million carrying value of the Existing Subordinated Notes exchanged. The premium will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Second Lien Notes due 2026 using the effective interest method. In connection with the Exchange Offers and the First Lien Notes due 2026, the Company issued shares of Common Stock to certain holders of subordinated notes as consideration for their commitment to backstop the issuance of $ 200 million of the First Lien Notes due 2026.

Those providing a backstop commitment pursuant to the Backstop Commitment Agreement received shares of Common Stock worth $ 20.2 million.

The Charter Amendments permitted the conversion of all of the Company’s outstanding AMC Preferred Equity Units into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion”). On August 25, 2023, 99,540,642 shares of Common Stock were issued as part of the Conversion. On August 25, 2023, AMC Preferred Equity Units ceased trading and were subsequently delisted from the NYSE. On August 25, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Delaware that eliminated the Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock from the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. AMC’s Board of Directors approved equitable adjustments to all outstanding awards under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan subsequent to the effectiveness of the Charter Amendments. The outstanding awards were proportionally adjusted consistent with the ratio used for the Reverse Stock Split and all awards previously convertible into AMC Preferred Equity Units are now convertible into Common Stock. Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split On August 4, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a special dividend of one AMC Preferred Equity Unit for each share of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on August 15, 2022, the record date. The dividend was paid at the close of business on August 19, 2022 to investors who held Common Stock as of August 22, 2022, the ex-dividend date. Due to the characteristics of the AMC Preferred Equity Units, the special dividend had the effect of a stock split pursuant to ASC 505-20-25-4. On August 24, 2023, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, each share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock became convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, and by extension each AMC Preferred Equity Unit became equivalent to one -tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. The Company concluded that this change in conversion ratio is analogous to a reverse stock split of the AMC Preferred Equity Units even though the reverse stock split did not have an effect on the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, unit, per unit, or common share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect both the effects of the special dividend as a stock split and the subsequent reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on their equivalent Common Stock shares. 112 Table of Contents At-The-Market Share Issuances During the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company entered into various equity distribution agreements with sales agents to sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock and AMC Preferred Equity Units, from time to time, through “at-the-market” offering programs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the equity distribution agreements, the sales agents used reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices, applicable law and regulations, and the rules of the NYSE to sell the Common Stock and AMC Preferred Equity Units from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions for the sales, including any price, time or size limits specified by the Company. The Company has used and intends to use the net proceeds, from the sale of Common Stock and AMC Preferred Equity Units pursuant to the equity distribution agreements to repay, refinance, redeem or repurchase the Company’s existing indebtedness (including expenses, accrued interest and premium, if any), capital expenditures and otherwise for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2023, the Company no longer has shares available for sale pursuant to any equity distribution agreement.

The Company generated $ 1,611.8 million in aggregate gross proceeds from sales under various “at-the-market” offering programs, paid fees to the sales agents of approximately $ 40.3 million and paid other fees of $ 0.8 million. Debt For Equity Exchanges The below table summarizes various debt for equity exchange transactions, excluding the Antara Transactions, that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company treated these exchanges as extinguishments with the reacquisition price being determined as the fair value of the Common Stock issued, net of the accrued interest extinguished.

The Forward Purchase Agreement and Initial APEs were determined to be equity and the related $ 34.9 million is recorded into Additional Paid-in Capital at December 31, 2022. Mudrick Share Issuance On June 1, 2021, the Company issued to Mudrick 850,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 850,000 AMC Preferred Equity Units for gross proceeds of $ 230.5 million and paid fees of approximately $ 0.1 million related to this transaction. The Company issued the shares in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Related Party Transactions On January 27, 2021, affiliates of Silver Lake and certain co-investors (collectively, the “Noteholders”) elected to convert all $ 600.0 million principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes due 2026 into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $ 67.60 per share. The non-cash Convertible Note Conversion settled on January 29, 2021, and resulted in the issuance of 4,442,286 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 4,442,286 of the Company’s AMC Preferred Equity Units to the Noteholders. See Note 8 — Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for information. As a result of the conversion, Silver Lake was no longer a related party of the Company. Stock-Based Compensation ​ 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ​ The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (“EIP”), provides for grants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs), stock awards, and cash performance awards. The EIP expired on December 17, 2023, and no new equity compensation plan has been put in place. Awards granted under the EIP will continue to vest over their remaining requisite service periods, the latest of which ends in January 2026. The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense recorded within general and administrative: other: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ December 31, (In millions) ​ 2023 ​ 2022 ​ 2021 Equity classified awards: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Special awards expense ​ $ 20.2 ​ $ — ​ $ — Board of director stock award expense ​ ​ 0.9 ​ ​ 0.8 ​ ​ 0.9 Restricted stock unit expense ​ ​ 14.3 ​ ​ 13.3 ​ ​ 12.6 Performance stock unit expense ​ ​ 6.7 ​ ​ 8.4 ​ ​ 24.5 Special performance stock unit expense ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 5.1 Total equity classified awards: ​ ​ 42.1 ​ ​ 22.5 ​ ​ 43.1 Liability classified awards: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Restricted and performance stock unit expense ​ ​ 0.4 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Total liability classified awards: ​ ​ 0.4 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Total stock-based compensation expense ​ $ 42.5 ​ $ 22.5 ​ $ 43.1 ​ As of December 31, 2023, the estimated remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation arrangements was approximately $ 12.5 million. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately 1.33 years. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. ​ 114 Table of Contents Plan Amendment due to Stock Split The 2013 Plan contemplates equitable adjustments for certain transactions such as a stock split. On August 19, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved an adjustment to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to entitle each participant one AMC Preferred Equity Unit and one share of Common Stock for each RSU or PSU for awards granted prior to the AMC Preferred Equity Unit special dividend. The Company determined that this modification was a Type 1 (probable-to-probable) modification that did not increase the fair value of the award and therefore did not require additional stock-based compensation expense to be recognized. Special Awards On February 23, 2023, AMC’s Board of Directors approved special awards in lieu of vesting of the 2022 PSU awards. The special awards were accounted for as modification to the 2022 PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that 200 % vesting was achieved for both tranches. This modification resulted in the immediate additional vesting of 238,959 Common Stock 2022 PSUs and 238,959 AMC Preferred Equity Unit 2022 PSUs. This was treated as a Type 3 modification (improbable-to-probable) which requires the Company to recognize additional stock compensation expense based on the modification date fair values of the Common Stock PSUs and AMC Preferred Equity Units PSUs of $ 14.9 million and $ 5.3 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $ 20.2 million of stock compensation expense related to these awards. Awards Granted in 2023, 2022, and 2021 and Other Activity ​ The Company’s Board of Directors approved awards of stock, RSUs, and PSUs to certain of the Company’s employees and directors under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Each RSU or PSU is convertible into one share of Common Stock upon vesting. Each RSU and PSU held by a participant as of a dividend record date is entitled to a dividend equivalent equal to the amount paid in respect to one share of Common Stock underlying the unit. Any such accrued dividend equivalents are paid to the holder only upon vesting of the units. The Company’s Board of Directors also granted awards to certain non-section 16 officers that are expected to be settled in cash. Upon vesting, participants receiving cash settlement were initially set to receive an amount of cash equal to the closing price of an AMC Preferred Equity Unit multiplied by the number of underlying cash-based RSUs and PSUs awarded. Following the completion of the Charter Amendments, grantees will now receive an amount of cash equal to the closing price of Common Stock multiplied by the number of underlying cash-based RSUs and PSUs awarded. These awards have been classified as liabilities and are include within accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The vesting requirements and vesting periods are identical to the equity classified awards described below. The Company recognizes expense related to these awards based on the fair value of the Common Stock shares, giving effect to the portion of services rendered during the requisite services period. As of December 31, 2023, there were 81,691 nonvested underlying Common Stock RSUs and PSUs (after giving effect to the actual 2023 PSU attainment levels) related to awards granted to certain non-section 16 officers. There are 52,001 nonvested underlying Common Stock RSUs and PSUs (2023 Tranche Year, after giving effect to the actual 2023 PSU attainment) that are currently classified as liabilities and 29,690 nonvested underlying Common Stock PSUs (2024 & 2025 Tranche Year) which have not been granted for accounting purposes as the performance targets for the 2024 and 2025 PSU Tranche Years have yet to be established. ​ 115 Table of Contents The awards granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan generally had the following features: ● Board of Director Stock Awards: The Company granted fully vested shares of Common Stock and AMC Preferred Equity Units to its independent members of AMC’s Board of Directors during the years ended December 31, 2023, Decembers 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021 as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 Common Stock ​ 8,560 ​ 4,165 ​ 12,405 AMC Preferred Equity Units ​ 15,376 ​ 4,165 ​ 12,405 ​ ● Restricted Stock Unit Awards: The Company granted RSU awards of 354,015 , 139,427 , and 537,563 RSU with grant date fair values of $ 12.4 million, $ 13.6 million, and $ 20.7 million to certain members of management during the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company records stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line recognition method over the requisite vesting period. The RSUs granted during 2023, 2022, and 2021 vest over three years with 1/3 vesting in each year. These RSUs will be settled within 30 days of vesting. ● Performance Stock Unit Awards: 2023 PSU Awards. During 2023, 327,758 total PSUs were awarded (“2023 PSU award”) to certain members of management and executive officers, with the total PSUs divided into three separate year tranches, with each tranche allocated to a fiscal year within the performance period (“Tranche Year”). The PSUs within each Tranche Year are further divided between two performance targets; the Adjusted EBITDA performance target and free cash flow performance target. The 2023 PSU awards will vest if 80 % to 120 % of the performance targets are attained, with the corresponding vested unit amount ranging from 50 % to 200 % of the PSUs awarded. If the performance targets for each Tranche Year are attained at 100 %, the 2023 PSU awards will vest 327,758 units in the aggregate. No PSUs will vest for each Tranche Year if the Company does not achieve 80% of the Tranche Year’s Adjusted EBITDA or free cash flow targets. The Compensation Committee establishes the annual performance targets at the beginning of each year. Therefore, the grant date (and fair value measurement date) for each Tranche Year is the date at the beginning of each year when a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions are reached per ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The 2023 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2023 Tranche Year award of 109,264 units was approximately $ 4.1 million measured at 100 % attainment of the performance targets. The 2022 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2023 Tranche Year of 46,179 units was approximately $ 2.0 million measured at 100 % attainment of the performance targets. The 2021 PSU award grant date fair value for the 2023 Tranche Year of 160,181 units was approximately $ 6.8 million measured at 100 % attainment of the performance targets. At December 31, 2023, the 2023 Tranche Year performance targets for both the annual Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow were attained at 86 % and 0 %, respectively. 2022 PSU Awards. During 2022, 139,427 total PSUs were awarded (“2022 PSU award”) to certain members of management and executive officers, with the total PSUs divided into three Tranche Years. The PSUs within each Tranche Year are further divided between two performance targets; the Adjusted EBITDA performance target and free cash flow performance target. The 2022 PSU awards will vest if 80 % to 120 % of the performance targets are attained, with the corresponding vested unit amount ranging from 50 % to 200 % of the PSUs awarded. If the performance targets for each Tranche Year are attained at 100%, the 2022 PSU awards will vest at 139,427 units in the aggregate. No PSUs will vest for each Tranche Year if the Company does not achieve 80% of the Tranche Year’s Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow targets. 2021 PSU Awards. During 2021, 537,563 total PSUs were awarded (“2021 PSU award”) to certain members of management and executive officers, with the total PSUs divided into three Tranche Years. The PSUs within each Tranche Year are further divided between two performance targets; the Adjusted EBITDA performance target and free cash flow performance target. The 2021 PSU awards will vest if 80 % to 120 % of the performance targets are attained, with the corresponding vested unit amount ranging from 50 % to 200 % of the PSUs awarded. If the performance targets for each Tranche Year are attained at 100 %, 116 Table of Contents the 2021 PSU awards will vest at 537,563 units in the aggregate. No PSUs will vest for each Tranche Year if the Company does not achieve 80% of the Tranche Year’s Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow targets. November 3, 2021 modification. On November 3, 2021, based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a modification to the PSUs for the awards granted in 2021 and 2020. The service condition modification included separating the vesting period subject to the participant’s continued employment through the end of the three-year cumulative period into three separate year service periods applicable to each tranche year. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 718-20, Compensation-Stock Compensation, as a Type I modification (probable-to-probable) with no change to the fair value measurement of the awards. 2020 PSU Awards: During the year ended December 31, 2020, PSU awards of 287,260 were granted to certain members of management and executive officers, with three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow target conditions and service conditions, covering a performance period beginning January 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2022, prior to the service condition and performance condition modifications on November 3, 2021 and October 30, 2020, respectively. 2019 PSU Awards: During the year ended December 31, 2019, PSU awards of 146,034 were granted to certain members of management and executive officers, with three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA and diluted earnings per share performance target conditions and service conditions, covering a performance period beginning January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, prior to the service condition and performance condition modifications on November 3, 2021 and October 30, 2020, respectively. October 30, 2020 modification. On October 30, 2020, based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a modification to the PSUs for the awards granted in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The modification included separating the three-year cumulative performance targets into three separate year performance targets applicable to each tranche year. In addition, the service conditions were modified, and vesting is now subject to the participant’s continued employment through the end of the three-year cumulative period. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 718-20, Compensation-Stock Compensation, as an exchange of the original award, that was not expected to vest, for a new award. The Company measured the fair value of the new award on the modification date, October 30, 2020, because the Company determined that achieving performance thresholds were probable for certain tranche awards. ● Special Performance Stock Unit Executive Award Agreement: During the year ended December 31, 2019, a PSU market condition award of 600,000 was granted to an executive officer of the Company that would vest based upon achieving target prices for the Company’s Common Stock. This award was subsequently cancelled and replaced with the PSU market condition award granted on February 26, 2020. On February 26, 2020 and March 5, 2020, special performance stock unit awards (“SPSUs”), totaling 714,000 units were granted to certain executive officers that vest based upon achieving target prices for the Company’s Class Common Stock. On October 30, 2020, based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a modification to the SPSUs for the awards. Each SPSU award agreement was amended as follows: ● The stock price thresholds (ranging from $ 12 to $ 24 ) and service requirement for tranches 1 through 4 of the SPSUs were eliminated and such SPSUs vested on October 30, 2020; ● Participants shall be prohibited from selling the shares of Common Stock issued upon the foregoing vesting until October 30, 2021; ● The stock price threshold for tranche 5 of the SPSUs was changed to $ 4 from $ 28 and the stock price threshold for tranche 6 of the SPSUs was changed to $ 8 from $ 32 ; and ● The service requirement for tranches 5 and 6 was shortened to end on October 30, 2021. As a result of the SPSU modification of market conditions, the incremental fair value amount assigned to the grant date fair value was approximately $ 7.3 million in accordance with ASC 718-20, Compensation-Stock Compensation. In January 2021, the market condition requirement for SPSUs was met as a result of exceeding the 20-day trailing volume weighted average stock price threshold target for tranche 5 and 117 Table of Contents tranche 6 of $ 4 and $ 8 , respectively. The stock-based compensation costs for SPSUs were recorded on a straight-line basis through October 30, 2021, which was the end of the service requirement period. The following table represents the nonvested RSU and PSU activity for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ Common Stock ​ Grant Date ​ ​ RSUs and PSUs (4) ​ Fair Value Beginning balance at January 1, 2021 (1) ​ 831,821 ​ $ 27.55 Granted ​ 1,017,985 ​ ​ 38.50 Vested ​ ( 129,773 ) ​ ​ 14.10 Forfeited ​ ( 43,355 ) ​ ​ 53.70 Cancelled (2) ​ ( 108,226 ) ​ ​ 14.05 Nonvested at January 1, 2022 ​ 1,568,452 ​ $ 39.60 Granted ​ 167,679 ​ ​ 97.50 Vested ​ ( 563,634 ) ​ ​ 35.90 Forfeited ​ ( 71,688 ) ​ ​ 58.60 Cancelled (2) ​ ( 474,659 ) ​ ​ 35.90 Nonvested at January 1, 2023 ​ 626,150 ​ $ 59.10 Granted (3) ​ 517,067 ​ ​ 36.73 Granted - Special Award ​ 477,918 ​ ​ 42.25 Vested ​ ( 222,920 ) ​ ​ 57.43 Vested - Special Award ​ ( 257,945 ) ​ ​ 42.18 Forfeited (3) ​ ( 22,119 ) ​ ​ 45.32 Cancelled ( 2) ​ ( 150,755 ) ​ ​ 60.14 Cancelled - Special Award (2) ​ ( 219,973 ) ​ ​ 42.34 Nonvested at December 31, 2023 ​ 747,423 ​ $ 44.35 Tranche Years 2024 and 2025 awarded under the 2023 PSU award and Tranche Year 2024 awarded under the 2022 PSU award with grant date fair values to be determined in years 2024 and 2025, respectively ​ 254,754 ​ ​ ​ Total Nonvested at December 31, 2023 ​ 1,002,177 ​ ​ ​ (1) Includes awards modified during 2020 where grant date fair value was not determined until 2021.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded as appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered likely to be realized. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets each period to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is “more likely than not” that some portion of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods on a federal, state and foreign jurisdiction basis. The Company conducts its evaluation by considering all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and the outlooks for the U.S. motion picture and broader economy, among others. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2023 for each taxing jurisdiction. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as the Company’s projections of future taxable income. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company remained in a cumulative loss over the past three-year period for the U.S. and international jurisdictions except for Finland. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets as well as international jurisdictions in which it operates, with the exception of Finland. The actual effective rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was ( 0.9 )%. The Company’s consolidated tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowances in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, foreign tax rate differences, and federal and state tax credits, partially offset by permanent differences related to interest, compensation, and other discrete items. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has recorded net deferred tax liabilities of $ 32.4 million and of $ 32.1 million, respectively. The income tax provision (benefit) reflected in the consolidated statements of operations consists of the following components: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ (In millions) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Current: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Federal ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ Foreign ​ 1.9 ​ 0.9 ​ 1.3 ​ State ​ 0.8 ​ ( 0.1 ) ​ ( 3.9 ) ​ Total current ​ 2.7 ​ 0.8 ​ ( 2.6 ) ​ Deferred: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Federal ​ 0.4 ​ 0.3 ​ ( 3.8 ) ​ Foreign ​ ( 0.2 ) ​ 0.7 ​ ( 2.1 ) ​ State ​ 0.5 ​ 0.7 ​ ( 1.7 ) ​ Total deferred ​ 0.7 ​ 1.7 ​ ( 7.6 ) ​ Total provision (benefit) ​ $ 3.4 ​ $ 2.5 ​ $ ( 10.2 ) ​ ​ Pre-tax losses consisted of the following: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ (In millions) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Domestic ​ $ ( 216.7 ) ​ $ ( 685.8 ) ​ $ ( 1,029.5 ) ​ Foreign ​ ( 176.5 ) ​ ( 285.3 ) ​ ( 250.5 ) ​ Total ​ $ ( 393.2 ) ​ $ ( 971.1 ) ​ $ ( 1,280.0 ) ​ ​ 119 Table of Contents The difference between the effective tax rate on net loss from continuing operations before income taxes and the U.S. federal income tax statutory rate is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ (In millions) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Income tax expense (benefit) at the federal statutory rate ​ $ ( 82.5 ) ​ $ ( 203.9 ) ​ $ ( 268.8 ) ​ Effect of: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ State income taxes ​ ( 14.7 ) ​ ( 30.9 ) ​ ( 46.9 ) ​ Increase in reserve for uncertain tax positions ​ ( 0.2 ) ​ — ​ ( 3.3 ) ​ Federal and state credits ​ ( 1.3 ) ​ ( 2.5 ) ​ ( 2.3 ) ​ Permanent items - other ​ ​ ( 17.6 ) ​ ​ 5.2 ​ ​ ( 3.1 ) ​ Foreign rate differential ​ ​ ( 3.6 ) ​ ​ ( 11.0 ) ​ ​ 4.3 ​ Original issue discount ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 152.5 ) ​ ​ — ​ Other ​ 1.2 ​ ( 14.2 ) ​ ( 5.0 ) ​ Impact of UK tax rate change ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 34.3 ) ​ Valuation allowance ​ 122.1 ​ 412.3 ​ 349.2 ​ Income tax expense (benefit) ​ $ 3.4 ​ $ 2.5 ​ $ ( 10.2 ) ​ Effective income tax rate ​ ( 0.9 ) % ( 0.3 ) % 0.8 % ​ The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 ​ ​ Deferred Income Tax ​ Deferred Income Tax (In millions) Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Tangible assets $ — $ ( 83.5 ) $ — $ ( 111.7 ) ​ Right-of-use assets ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 914.3 ) ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 935.3 ) ​ Accrued liabilities ​ 13.8 ​ — ​ 13.6 ​ — ​ Intangible assets ​ — ​ ( 119.4 ) ​ — ​ ( 113.9 ) ​ Receivables ​ 9.5 ​ — ​ 18.2 ​ — ​ Investments ​ 48.0 ​ — ​ 45.9 ​ — ​ Capital loss carryforwards ​ 5.4 ​ — ​ 2.0 ​ — ​ Pension and deferred compensation ​ 22.7 ​ — ​ 18.3 ​ — ​ Corporate borrowings ​ 41.9 ​ — ​ 121.9 ​ — ​ Disallowed interest ​ ​ 515.0 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 337.1 ​ ​ — ​ Deferred revenue ​ 163.4 ​ — ​ 172.6 ​ — ​ Lease liabilities ​ 1,169.8 ​ — ​ 1,208.0 ​ — ​ Finance lease obligations ​ 0.2 ​ — ​ 0.4 ​ — ​ Other credit carryovers ​ 28.3 ​ — ​ 27.7 ​ — ​ Net operating loss carryforwards ​ 708.0 ​ — ​ 676.1 ​ — ​ Total ​ $ 2,726.0 ​ $ ( 1,117.2 ) ​ $ 2,641.8 ​ $ ( 1,160.9 ) ​ Less: Valuation allowance ​ ( 1,641.3 ) ​ — ​ ( 1,513.0 ) ​ — ​ Net deferred income taxes ​ $ 1,084.7 ​ $ ( 1,117.2 ) ​ $ 1,128.8 ​ $ ( 1,160.9 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ 120 Table of Contents A rollforward of the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Additions ​ Charged ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance at ​ Charged ​ (Credited) ​ ​ ​ ​ Beginning of ​ to ​ to Other ​ Balance at (In millions) Period Expenses(1) Accounts(2) End of Period Calendar Year 2023 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Valuation allowance-deferred income tax assets ​ $ 1,513.0 ​ 120.2 ​ 8.1 ​ $ 1,641.3 Calendar Year 2022 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Valuation allowance-deferred income tax assets ​ $ 1,114.1 ​ 412.3 ​ ( 13.4 ) ​ $ 1,513.0 Calendar Year 2021 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Valuation allowance-deferred income tax assets ​ $ 764.9 ​ 349.2 ​ — ​ $ 1,114.1 (1) The 2022 valuation allowance primarily relates to the Company’s increase in the current year’s federal, state, international net operating losses. (2) Primarily relates to amounts resulting from the Company’s changes in deferred tax assets and associated valuation allowance that are not related to income statement activity as well as amounts charged to other comprehensive income. The Company has federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards of $ 1,711.9 million. Approximately $ 320.3 million will expire between 2024 and 2036 and will be limited annually due to certain change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Approximately $ 1,391.0 million can be used indefinitely. The Company’s foreign net operating losses of $ 949.0 million can be used indefinitely. The Company also has state income tax loss carryforwards of $ 2,463.3 million. Approximately $ 1,765.3 million may be used over various periods ranging from 1 to 20 years . Approximately $ 697.9 million can be used indefinitely. A reconciliation of the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended (In millions) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Balance at beginning of period ​ $ 7.4 ​ $ 8.3 ​ $ 33.5 Gross increases—current period tax positions ​ — ​ — ​ — Gross decreases—prior period tax positions ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 22.5 ) Gross decreases—settlements with authorities ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 2.2 ) Gross decreases—expiration of statute of limitations ​ ​ ( 1.9 ) ​ ​ ( 0.9 ) ​ ​ ( 0.5 ) Balance at end of period ​ $ 5.5 ​ $ 7.4 ​ $ 8.3 ​ The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. An IRS examination of the tax year March 29, 2012 was settled in 2021 resulting in additional federal and state net operating losses (“NOLs”). Generally, tax years beginning after December 31, 2003 are still open to examination by various taxing authorities. Additionally, as discussed above, the Company has NOL carryforwards for tax years ended December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2023, in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions which have carryforwards of varying lengths of time. These NOLs are subject to adjustment based on the statute of limitations applicable to the return in which they are utilized, not the year in which they are generated. Various state, local and foreign income tax returns are also under examination by taxing authorities. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any examination will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, disallowed business interest carryforward and other tax attributes became subject to the Section 382 ownership change limitation due to changes in our stock ownership on January 29, 2021. Management believes the Company’s ability to utilize these tax attributes has not been significantly limited by this event. ​ ​ 121 Table of Contents ​ ​ NOTE 11—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including food and beverage suppliers and film distributors), landlords, competitors, and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters discussed below, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur. An unfavorable outcome might include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods. On January 12, 2018 and January 19, 2018, two putative federal securities class actions, captioned Hawaii Structural Ironworkers Pension Trust Fund v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., et al. , Case No. 1:18-cv-00299-AJN (the “Hawaii Action”), and Nichols v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., et al. , Case No. 1:18-cv-00510-AJN (the “Nichols Action,” and together with the Hawaii Action, the “Actions”), respectively, were filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Actions, which named certain of the Company’s officers and directors and, in the case of the Hawaii Action, the underwriters of the Company’s February 8, 2017 secondary public offering, as defendants, asserted claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to alleged material misstatements and omissions in the registration statement for the secondary public offering and in certain other public disclosures. On May 30, 2018, the court consolidated the Actions. On January 22, 2019, defendants moved to dismiss the Second Amended Class Action Complaint. On September 23, 2019, the court granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part. On March 2, 2020, plaintiffs moved to certify the purported class. On March 30, 2021, the court granted the motion to certify the class. On September 2, 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the Actions for $ 18.0 million. The Company agreed to the settlement and the payment of the settlement amount to eliminate the distraction, burden, expense, and uncertainty of further litigation. The Company and the other defendants continue to expressly deny any liability or wrongdoing with respect to the matters alleged in the Actions. On November 1, 2021, the parties to the Actions signed a stipulation of settlement, which memorialized the terms of the agreement in principle, and which the plaintiffs filed with the court. Also on November 1, 2021, plaintiffs filed a motion to preliminarily approve the settlement. On November 8, 2021, the court preliminarily approved the settlement, approved the form of notice to be disseminated to class members, and scheduled a final fairness hearing on the settlement for February 10, 2022. On February 14, 2022, the court issued a final judgment approving the settlement and dismissing the action. On May 21, 2018, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Gantulga v. Aron, et al. , Case No. 2:18-cv-02262-JAR-TJJ (the “Gantulga Action”), was filed against certain of the Company’s officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The Gantulga Action, which was filed on behalf of the Company, asserted claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and for breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions. On October 12, 2018, the parties filed a joint motion to transfer the action to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which the court granted on October 15, 2018. When the action was transferred to the Southern District of New York, it was re-captioned Gantulga v. Aron, et al. , Case No. 1:18-cv-10007-AJN. The parties filed a joint stipulation to stay the action, which the court granted on December 17, 2018. The stay was lifted as of February 9, 2022. On October 2, 2019, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Kenna v. Aron , et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-09148-AJN (the “Kenna Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The parties filed a joint stipulation to stay the action, which the court granted on October 17, 2019. On April 20, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The Kenna Action asserted claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 21D of the Exchange Act and for breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions and the Gantulga Action. The stay was lifted as of February 9, 2022. ​ 122 Table of Contents On March 20, 2020, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Manuel v. Aron, et al ., Case No. 1:20-cv-02456-AJN (the “Manuel Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Manuel Action asserted claims under Sections 10(b), 21D, and 29(b) of the Exchange Act and for breaches of fiduciary duty based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions, the Gantulga Action, and the Kenna Action. The parties filed a joint stipulation to stay the action, which the court granted on May 18, 2020. On April 7, 2020, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Dinkevich v. Aron, et al ., Case No. 1:20-cv-02870-AJN (the “Dinkevich Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Dinkevich Action asserted the same claims as the Manuel Action based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions, the Gantulga Action, the Kenna Action, and the Manuel Action. The parties filed a joint stipulation to stay the action, which was granted on June 25, 2020. On January 11, 2022, the court lifted the stay. On September 23, 2021, a stockholder derivative complaint, captioned Lyon v. Aron, et al. , Case No. 1:21-cv-07940-AJN (the “Lyon Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The Lyon Action asserted claims for contribution and indemnification under the Exchange Act and for breaches of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment/constructive trust based on allegations substantially similar to the Actions, the Gantulga Action, the Kenna Action, the Manuel Action, and the Dinkevich Action. On January 14, 2022, defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. On March 21, 2023, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss. On June 14, 2023, the parties to the Gantulga, Kenna, Manuel, Dinkevich, and Lyon Actions signed a stipulation of settlement which, subject to the approval of the court, would resolve those actions. As consideration for the proposed settlement, the Company agreed to certain corporate governance reforms. The Company also agreed to the payment of a $ 1.0 million fee and expense award to the plaintiffs’ attorneys to be paid by the Company’s directors’ and officer’s insurance carriers. Defendants agreed to the settlement solely to eliminate the burden, expense, and uncertainties inherent in further litigation. Defendants have denied, and continue to deny, all allegations of wrongdoing, fault, liability, or damages with respect to the matters alleged in the Gantulga, Kenna, Manuel, Dinkevich, and Lyon Actions. On June 23, 2023, plaintiffs filed a motion to preliminarily approve the settlement. On October 6, 2023, the Court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement as being fair, reasonable, and adequate, and scheduled a telephonic hearing for December 18, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. eastern time, to, among other things, consider whether to approve the proposed settlement. On December 18, 2023, the court issued an order and final judgement approving the proposed settlement. On April 22, 2019, a putative stockholder class and derivative complaint, captioned Lao v. Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. , et al., C.A. No. 2019-0303-JRS (the “Lao Action”), was filed against certain of the Company’s directors, Wanda, two of Wanda’s affiliates, Silver Lake, and one of Silver Lake’s affiliates in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Lao Action asserted claims directly, on behalf of a putative class of Company stockholders, and derivatively, on behalf of the Company, for breaches of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty with respect to transactions that the Company entered into with affiliates of Wanda and Silver Lake on September 14, 2018, and the special cash dividend of $ 1.55 per share of Common Stock that was payable on September 28, 2018 to the Company’s stockholders of record as of September 25, 2018. On July 18, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors formed a Special Litigation Committee to investigate and evaluate the claims and allegations asserted in the Lao Action and make a determination as to how the Company should proceed with respect to the Lao Action. On January 8, 2021, the Special Litigation Committee filed a report with the court recommending that the court dismiss all of the claims asserted in the Lao Action, and moved to dismiss all of the claims in the Lao Action. On June 6, 2022, the parties signed a stipulation of settlement to resolve the Lao Action for $ 17.4 million (the “Settlement Amount”). Defendants agreed to the settlement and the payment of the Settlement Amount solely to eliminate the burden, expense, and uncertainty of further litigation, and continue to expressly deny any liability or wrongdoing with respect to the matters alleged in the Lao Action. On September 28, 2022, the court held a hearing to consider whether to approve the proposed settlement. At the hearing, the court requested a supplemental notice to stockholders prior to approval. A second hearing regarding approval of the settlement was held on November 30, 2022. Following the hearing, also on November 30, 2022, the court issued an order and final judgment approving the settlement and dismissing the action. The order and final judgment included a fee and expense award to plaintiff’s counsel in the amount of $ 3.4 million to be paid out of the Settlement Amount. On January 6, 2023, the remainder of the Settlement Amount of $ 14.0 million was paid to the Company. The Company recorded the settlement as a gain in other income during the year ended December 31, 2023. 123 Table of Contents On December 27, 2022, the Company received a letter from a purported stockholder, demanding to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 in order to investigate allegations concerning: (i) the proposal that was approved by the Board on January 27, 2021 to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock; (ii) the Company’s creation, distribution, and/or sale of AMC Preferred Equity Units (“APEs”); (iii) the Antara Transactions; (iv) the special meeting of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and APEs to be held on March 14, 2023 for the purpose of voting on amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that, together, would enable the APEs to convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock: and (v) the independence of the members of the Board (the “December 27, 2022 Demand”). On January 4, 2023, the Company rejected the December 27, 2022 Demand. On February 7, 2023, without conceding the propriety of the December 27, 2022 Demand in any respect and while reserving all rights, the Company, in an effort to avoid unnecessary litigation, allowed the stockholder who made the December 27, 2022 Demand to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records concerning the subject matter of December 27, 2022 Demand. On February 6, 2023, the Company received a letter from another purported stockholder, demanding to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 in order to investigate allegations similar to those made in the December 27, 2022 Demand (the “February 6, 2023 Demand” and, together with the December 27, 2022 Demand, the “Books and Records Demands”). On February 13, 2023, the Company rejected the February 6, 2023 Demand. Also, on February 13, 2023, without conceding the propriety of the February 6, 2023 Demand in any respect and while reserving all rights, the Company, in an effort to avoid unnecessary litigation, allowed the stockholder who made the February 6, 2023 Demand to inspect the same books and records that it allowed the stockholder who made the December 27, 2022 Demand to inspect. On February 20, 2023, two putative stockholder class actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Allegheny County Employees’ Retirement System v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., et al. , C.A. No. 2023-0215-MTZ (Del. Ch.) (the “ Allegheny Action”), and Munoz v. Adam M. Aron, et al. , C.A. No. 2023-0216-MTZ (Del. Ch.) (the “ Munoz Action”) and which were subsequently consolidated into In re AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Stockholder Litigation C.A. No. 2023-0215-MTZ (Del. Ch.) (the “Shareholder Litigation”). The Allegheny Action asserted a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against certain of the Company’s directors and a claim for breach of 8 Del. C. § 242 against those directors and the Company, arising out of the Company’s creation of the APEs, the Antara Transactions, and the Charter Amendments. The Munoz Action, which was filed by the stockholders who made the Books and Records Demands, asserted a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the Company’s current directors and former director Lee Wittlinger, arising out of the same conduct challenged in the Allegheny Action. The Allegheny Action sought a declaration that the issuance of the APEs violated 8 Del. C. § 242(b), an order that holders of the Company’s Common Stock be provided with a separate vote from the holders of the APEs on the Charter Amendments or that the APEs be enjoined from voting on the Charter Amendments, and an award of money damages. The Munoz Action sought to enjoin the APEs from being voted on the Charter Amendments. On February 27, 2023, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered a status quo order that (i) allowed the March 14, 2023 vote on the Charter Amendments to proceed, but precluded the Company from implementing the Charter Amendments pending a ruling by the court on the plaintiffs’ then-anticipated preliminary injunction motion, and (ii) scheduled a hearing on the plaintiffs’ then-anticipated preliminary injunction motion for April 27, 2023 (the “Status Quo Order”). On April 2, 2023, the parties entered into a binding settlement term sheet to settle the Shareholder Litigation, which among other things, provided that the parties would jointly request that the Status Quo Order be lifted. Pursuant to the term sheet, the Company agreed, following and subject to AMC’s completion of the Conversion and Reverse Stock Split, to make a non-cash settlement payment to record holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Conversion (and after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split) of one share of Common Stock for every 7.5 shares of Common Stock owned by such record holders. The Company’s obligation to make the Settlement Payment was contingent on the Status Quo Order being lifted and the Company effecting the Charter Amendment. The defendants agreed to the settlement and the payment of the Settlement Payment solely to eliminate the burden, expense, and uncertainty of further litigation, and continue to expressly deny any liability or wrongdoing with respect to the matters alleged in the Shareholder Litigation. On April 3, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion to lift the Status Quo Order. On April 5, 2023, the court denied the motion to lift the Status Quo Order. 124 Table of Contents On April 27, 2023, the parties jointly filed a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement, and Release (the “Settlement Stipulation”) with the court, which fully memorialized the settlement that the parties agreed to in the term sheet. On June 29–30, 2023, the court held a settlement hearing to consider whether to approve the settlement as outlined in the Settlement Stipulation. On July 21, 2023, the court issued an opinion which, citing issues with the scope of the release sought under the proposed settlement, declined to approve the settlement as presented. On July 22, 2023, the parties filed an addendum to the Settlement Stipulation in an effort to address the issues with the scope of the release raised by the court and requested that the court approve the settlement with the revised release set forth in the addendum. On July 24, 2023, the court requested additional submissions in relation to the proposed settlement. The Company provided the additional requested submissions to the court on July 26, 2023. On August 11, 2023, the court approved the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation and lifted the Status Quo Order. On August 14, 2023, the Company filed the amendment to its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, effective as of August 24, 2023, which was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting held on March 14, 2023 to implement the Charter Amendments. The Reverse Stock Split occurred on August 24, 2023, the conversion of APEs into Common Stock occurred on August 25, 2023, and the Settlement Payment was made on August 28, 2023. On September 15, 2023, the Court entered an order dismissing the Shareholder Litigation in its entirety and with prejudice. On October 13, 2023, a purported Company stockholder who objected to the settlement of the Shareholder Litigation filed a notice of appeal from the order approving the settlement. As of January 26, 2024, the appeal was fully briefed before the Delaware Supreme Court. In connection with the Settlement Payment, the Company recorded a $ 110.1 million charge to other expense during the year ended December 31, 2023. The charge was based on the estimated fair value of $ 99.3 million for the Settlement Payment and $ 10.8 million of legal fees, net of probable insurance recoveries. The Company made the Settlement Payment on August 28, 2023, and recorded the disbursement to stockholders’ deficit. The legal fee liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities or accounts payable within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. On August 14, 2023, a putative class action on behalf of APE holders, captioned Simons v. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. , C.A. No. 2023-0835-MTZ (the “Simons Action”), was filed against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The Simons Action asserts claims for a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, and breach of contract, and alleges that the Settlement Payment in the Shareholder Litigation violates the Certificate of Designations that govern the APEs prior to the conversion of the APEs into Common Stock. On September 12, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On December 26, 2023, plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which added a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On February 16, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On May 4, 2023, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware against seventeen insurers participating in its directors & officers insurance program, seeking recovery for losses incurred in connection with its defense and settlement of the Shareholder Litigation, including the Settlement Payment. The insurance recovery action is captioned, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. v. XL Specialty Insurance Co., et al ., Case No. N23C-05-045 AML CCLD (Del. Super. May 4, 2023) (the “Coverage Action”). In the suit, AMC seeks up to $ 80 million in coverage under its Executive and Corporate Securities Liability Insurance Policies sold by the defendants, which provide coverage for the policy period of January 1, 2022, through January 1, 2023 (the “Policies”) in excess of a $ 10 million deductible. The primary insurer in the Coverage Action has paid its full $ 5 million limit to reimburse the Company for its payment of the class counsel fee award. The remainder of the insurers contest whether they owe coverage for the Settlement Payment, claiming it does not constitute a “Loss” under their insurance policies. AMC may have claims for coverage from additional insurers as well, however, those insurers’ policies contain mandatory arbitration provisions, so they have not been included in the Coverage Action. On October 6, 2023, an action captioned Mathew, et al. v. Citigroup Global Markets, et al. , Case No. 1:23-cv-12302-FDS (the “Mathew Action”), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The Mathew Action names the Company as a nominal defendant. On November 16, 2023, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On January 9, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On January 11, 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint.

The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: ​ Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. ​ Recurring Fair Value Measurements. The following tables summarize the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2023 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant ​ Total Carrying Quoted prices in Significant other unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ observable inputs ​ inputs (In millions) ​ December 31, 2023 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Other long-term assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Investment in Hycroft warrants ​ $ 3.3 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 3.3 Marketable equity securities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Investment in Hycroft ​ ​ 5.8 ​ ​ 5.8 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Total ​ $ 9.1 ​ $ 5.8 ​ $ — ​ $ 3.3 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2022 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant ​ Total Carrying Quoted prices in Significant other unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ observable inputs ​ inputs (In millions) ​ December 31, 2022 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Other long-term assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Investment in Hycroft warrants ​ $ 9.2 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 9.2 Marketable equity securities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Investment in Hycroft ​ ​ 12.5 ​ ​ 12.5 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Total ​ $ 21.7 ​ $ 12.5 ​ $ — ​ $ 9.2 Valuation Techniques. The equity method investment in Hycroft was measured at fair value using Hycroft’s stock price at the date of measurement. To estimate the fair value of the Company’s investment in Hycroft warrants, the Company valued the warrants using the Black Scholes pricing model. Such judgments and estimates included estimates of volatility of 130.0% and discount rate of 4.0% . The discount rate is based on the treasury yield that matches the term as of the measurement date. Other inputs included the term of 3.2 years, exercise price of $ 10.68 and Hycroft’s stock price at the date of measurement. The preceding exercise price has been adjusted for the one-for-ten reverse stock split Hycroft effectuated on November 15, 2023. There is considerable management judgment with respect to the inputs used in determining fair value, and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates, which fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. See Note 6—Investments for further information regarding the investments in Hycroft. ​ 126 Table of Contents Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.

There is considerable management judgment with respect to cash flow estimates and appropriate discount rates to be used in determining fair value, and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates, which fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Such judgments and estimates include estimates of future attendance, revenues, cash flows, rent relief, cost savings, capital expenditures, and the cost of capital, among others. At December 31, 2023, related cash flows were discounted at 9.0% for the Domestic Theatres and 11.0% for the International Theatres, at December 31, 2022, related cash flows were discounted at 10.0% for Domestic Theatres and 12.5% for International Theatres. Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. The following tables summarize the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2023 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant other Significant ​ ​ Total Carrying ​ Quoted prices in ​ observable ​ unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ inputs ​ inputs (In millions) ​ December 31, 2023 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Current maturities of corporate borrowings ​ $ 25.1 ​ $ — ​ $ 21.5 ​ $ — Corporate borrowings ​ 4,552.3 ​ — ​ 3,674.7 ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2022 Using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant other Significant ​ ​ Total Carrying ​ Quoted prices in ​ observable ​ unobservable ​ ​ Value at ​ active market ​ inputs ​ inputs (In millions) ​ December 31, 2022 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Current maturities of corporate borrowings ​ $ 20.0 ​ $ — ​ $ 10.8 ​ $ — Corporate borrowings ​ 5,120.8 ​ — ​ 2,516.2 ​ — ​ 127 Table of Contents Valuation Technique. Quoted market prices and observable market based inputs were used to estimate fair value for Level 2 inputs. The Company valued these notes at principal value less an estimated discount reflecting a market yield to maturity. See Note 8 — Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for further information. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. ​ NOTE 13—OPERATING SEGMENTS The Company reports information about operating segments in accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, which requires financial information to be reported based on the way management organizes segments within a company for making operating decisions and evaluating performance. The Company has identified two reportable segments and reporting units for its theatrical exhibition operations, U.S. markets and International markets. The International markets reportable segment has operations in or partial interest in theatres in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark. The Company divested of its interest in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania operations, see Note 1 — The Company and Significant Accounting Policies for further information on the Baltics theatre sale. On January 24, 2023 the Company sold its interest in Saudi Arabia, see Note 6 — Investments for additional information. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions, food and beverage sales and other ancillary revenues, primarily screen advertising, loyalty membership fees, ticket sales, gift card income and exchange ticket income. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the reconciliation table below. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance of or allocate resources between segments. Below is a breakdown of select financial information by reportable operating segment: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended Revenues (In millions) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 U.S. markets ​ $ 3,688.6 ​ $ 2,961.7 ​ $ 1,875.8 International markets ​ ​ 1,124.0 ​ ​ 949.7 ​ ​ 652.1 Total revenues ​ $ 4,812.6 ​ $ 3,911.4 ​ $ 2,527.9 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended Adjusted EBITDA (In millions) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 U.S. markets ​ $ 370.2 ​ $ 59.6 ​ $ ( 250.6 ) International markets ​ ​ 55.6 ​ ​ ( 13.0 ) ​ ​ ( 41.1 ) Total Adjusted EBITDA (1) ​ $ 425.8 ​ $ 46.6 ​ $ ( 291.7 ) (1) The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and to include attributable EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operations in International markets and any cash distributions of earnings from its other equity method investees. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, which is broadly consistent with how Adjusted EBITDA is defined in the Company’s debt indentures. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended Capital Expenditures (In millions) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 U.S. markets ​ $ 167.0 ​ $ 138.4 ​ $ 63.9 International markets ​ ​ 58.6 ​ ​ 63.6 ​ ​ 28.5 Total capital expenditures ​ $ 225.6 ​ $ 202.0 ​ $ 92.4 ​ 128 Table of Contents Financial information about geographic area is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended Revenues (In millions) ​ December 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 United States ​ $ 3,688.6 ​ $ 2,961.7 ​ $ 1,875.8 United Kingdom ​ ​ 400.9 ​ ​ 379.3 ​ ​ 283.6 Spain ​ ​ 148.2 ​ ​ 114.6 ​ ​ 81.8 Sweden ​ ​ 124.9 ​ ​ 125.0 ​ ​ 82.3 Italy ​ ​ 151.9 ​ ​ 90.4 ​ ​ 57.5 Germany ​ ​ 125.8 ​ ​ 96.2 ​ ​ 54.4 Finland ​ ​ 97.9 ​ ​ 73.9 ​ ​ 49.1 Ireland ​ ​ 32.2 ​ ​ 27.3 ​ ​ 16.9 Other foreign countries ​ ​ 42.2 ​ ​ 43.0 ​ ​ 26.5 Total ​ $ 4,812.6 ​ $ 3,911.4 ​ $ 2,527.9 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of ​ As of Long-term assets, net (In millions) ​ December 31, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 U.S. markets ​ $ 5,795.6 ​ $ 6,135.9 International markets ​ ​ 2,010.5 ​ ​ 2,097.6 Total long-term assets (1) ​ $ 7,806.1 ​ $ 8,233.5 (1) Long-term assets are comprised of property, operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets, goodwill, deferred tax asset, net and other long-term assets. ​ The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended (In millions) ​ December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 Net loss ​ $ ( 396.6 ) ​ $ ( 973.6 ) ​ $ ( 1,269.8 ) Plus: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Income tax provision (benefit) (1) ​ 3.4 ​ 2.5 ​ ​ ( 10.2 ) Interest expense ​ 411.2 ​ 378.7 ​ ​ 458.1 Depreciation and amortization ​ 365.0 ​ 396.0 ​ ​ 425.0 Impairment of long-lived assets (2) ​ 106.9 ​ 133.1 ​ ​ 77.2 Certain operating expense (3) ​ 2.5 ​ 8.0 ​ ​ 0.2 Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities (4) ​ ( 7.7 ) ​ 1.6 ​ ​ ( 11.0 ) Cash distributions from non-consolidated entities (5) ​ 6.5 ​ 6.6 ​ ​ 12.5 Attributable EBITDA (6) ​ ​ 2.2 ​ ​ 0.4 ​ ​ 3.7 Investment expense (income) ​ ( 15.5 ) ​ 14.9 ​ ​ ( 9.2 ) Other expense (income) (7) ​ ( 61.3 ) ​ 80.4 ​ ​ ( 0.1 ) Other non-cash rent benefit (8) ​ ​ ( 35.0 ) ​ ​ ( 26.6 ) ​ ​ ( 24.9 ) General and administrative — unallocated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Merger, acquisition and other costs (9) ​ 1.7 ​ 2.1 ​ ​ 13.7 Stock-based compensation expense (10) ​ 42.5 ​ 22.5 ​ ​ 43.1 Adjusted EBITDA ​ $ 425.8 ​ $ 46.6 ​ $ ( 291.7 ) (1) For information regarding the income tax provision (benefit), see Note 10 — Income Taxes. (2) During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges related to its long-lived assets of $ 49.2 million on 68 theatres in the U.S. markets with 738 screens which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net and $ 57.7 million on 57 theatres in the International markets with 488 screens which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. 129 Table of Contents During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges related to its long-lived assets of $ 73.4 million on 68 theatres in the U.S. markets with 817 screens which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net and $ 59.7 million on 53 theatres in the International markets with 456 screens which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges related to its long-lived assets of $ 61.3 million on 77 theatres in the U.S. markets with 805 screens which were related to property, net, operating lease right-of-use assets, net and other long-term assets and $ 15.9 million on 14 theatres in the International markets with 118 screens which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. (3) Amounts represent preopening expense related to temporarily closed screens under renovation, theatre and other closure expense for the permanent closure of screens, including the related accretion of interest, disposition of assets, and other non-operating gains or losses included in operating expenses. The Company has excluded these items as they are non-cash in nature or are non-operating in nature. (4) Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities primarily consisted of equity in earnings from AC JV of $ 4.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities primarily consisted of equity in loss from Saudi Cinema Company, LLC of $ 7.6 million, partially offset by equity in (earnings) from DCIP of $ 3.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities primarily consisted of equity in earnings (loss) from DCIP of $ 12.2 million, during the year ended December 31, 2021. (5) Includes U.S. non-theatre distributions from equity method investments and International non- theatre distributions from equity method investments to the extent received. The Company believes including cash distributions is an appropriate reflection of the contribution of these investments to the Company’s operations. (6) Attributable EBITDA includes the EBITDA from equity investments in theatre operators in certain International markets. See below for a reconciliation of the Company’s equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities to attributable EBITDA. Because these equity investments are in theatre operators in regions where the Company holds a significant market share, the Company believes attributable EBITDA is more indicative of the performance of these equity investments and management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate these equity investments. The Company also provides services to these theatre operators including information technology systems, certain on-screen advertising services and the Company’s gift card and package ticket program. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended (In millions) ​ December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 ​ December 31, 2021 Equity in (earnings) loss of non-consolidated entities ​ $ ( 7.7 ) ​ $ 1.6 ​ $ ( 11.0 ) Less: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Equity in (earnings) of non-consolidated entities excluding International theatre joint ventures ​ ​ ( 6.6 ) ​ ​ ( 5.4 ) ​ ​ ( 13.5 ) Equity in earnings (loss) of International theatre joint ventures ​ ​ 1.1 ​ ​ ( 7.0 ) ​ ​ ( 2.5 ) Income tax expense ​ ​ 0.1 ​ ​ 0.1 ​ ​ 0.3 Investment expense (income) ​ ​ ( 0.6 ) ​ ​ 0.2 ​ ​ ( 0.1 ) Interest expense ​ ​ 0.2 ​ ​ 0.1 ​ ​ 0.2 Impairment of long-lived assets ​ ​ — ​ ​ 4.2 ​ ​ — Depreciation and amortization ​ ​ 1.4 ​ ​ 2.8 ​ ​ 5.6 Other expense ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 0.2 Attributable EBITDA ​ $ 2.2 ​ $ 0.4 ​ $ 3.7 ​ 130 Table of Contents (7) Other expense (income) during the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily consisted of gains on debt extinguishment of $( 142.8 ) million and foreign currency transaction gains of $( 17.8 ) million, partially offset by a non-cash litigation charge of $ 99.3 million.

The dividend was paid at the close of business on August 19, 2022 to investors who held Common Stock as of August 22, 2022, the ex-dividend date. Due to the characteristics of the AMC Preferred Equity Units, the special dividend had the effect of a stock split pursuant to ASC 505-20-25-4. On August 24, 2023, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, each share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock became convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, and by extension each AMC Preferred Equity Unit became equivalent to one -tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock. The reverse stock split did not impact the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. The Company concluded that this change in conversion ratio is analogous to a reverse stock split of the AMC Preferred Equity Units even though the reverse stock split did not have an effect on the number of AMC Preferred Equity Units outstanding. Accordingly, all references made to share, per share, unit, per unit, or common share amounts in the accompanying financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect both the effects of the special dividend as a stock split and the subsequent reverse stock split. References made to AMC Preferred Equity Units have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on their equivalent Common Stock shares. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effects of unvested RSUs with a service condition only and unvested contingently issuable RSUs and PSUs that have service and performance conditions, if dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ Year Ended ​ Year Ended (In millions) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Numerator: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net loss for basic and diluted loss per share ​ $ ( 396.6 ) ​ $ ( 973.6 ) ​ $ ( 1,269.1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Denominator (shares in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average shares for basic and diluted loss per common share ​ 167,644 ​ 104,769 ​ 95,482 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Basic and diluted loss per common share: ​ $ ( 2.37 ) ​ $ ( 9.29 ) ​ $ ( 13.29 ) ​ Vested RSUs, PSUs, and SPSUs have dividend rights identical to the Company’s Common Stock and are treated as outstanding shares for purposes of computing basic and diluted loss per share. For the year ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, unvested RSUs of 272,469 , 252,336 , and 449,525 , respectively, were not considered in the computation of diluted loss per share because they would be anti-dilutive. All Tranche Year PSUs which had been granted at December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31 2021 were included in basic loss per share for each respective period because the issuance of the related shares were contingent only upon the passage of time. Therefore, no granted Tranche Year PSUs at December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021 could further dilute basic loss per share. ​ ​ 132 Table of Contents ​ NOTE 16— SUBSEQUENT EVENTS ​ Debt for equity exchange. During January 2024, the Company executed a debt for equity exchange transaction. This transaction was treated as early extinguishments of the debt. In accordance with ASC 470-50-40-3 the reacquisition price of the extinguished debt was determined to be the fair value of the Common Stock exchanged.
