Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On March 14, 2023, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”).

A total of 182,342,728 out of 517,580,416 eligible shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) were present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, and a total of 182,342,728 shares of Common Stock were voted after excluding broker non-votes.

A total of 583,297,321 out of 929,849,612 eligible AMC Preferred Equity Units (“APEs”), each constituting a depositary share representing 1/100th interest in a share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), were present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. jointly as Depositary (the “Depositary”) representing 929,849,612 votes were present and were voted pursuant to specific instructions by APEs at the Special Meeting or proportionally pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”) governing the APEs.

At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders were asked to vote on the following items: (i) a proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock (the “Share Increase Proposal”), (ii) a proposal to amend the Charter to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio of one share of Common Stock for every ten shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split Proposal”, together with the Share Increase Proposal, the “Charter Amendment Proposals”), and (iii) a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The Share Increase Proposal and the Reverse Split Proposal each required the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (or APEs representing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock) entitled to vote, voting together as one class (with each outstanding share of Common Stock entitled to one vote and each outstanding APE entitled to one vote). The Adjournment Proposal required the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (or APEs representing such share of Series A Preferred Stock), voting together as one class, present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal (with each outstanding share of Common Stock entitled to one vote and each outstanding APE entitled to one vote).

The voting results for matters submitted to stockholders at the Special Meeting are set forth below.
