NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 10, 2025

​

DEAR STOCKHOLDERS:

We cordially invite you to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) which will be held on December 10, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. (Central Time) at the AMC Theatre Support Center, located at One AMC Way, 11500 Ash Street, Leawood, Kansas 66211 (the “Annual Meeting”), for the following purposes:

To approve an amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our “Certificate of Incorporation”) to declassify our Board of Directors, shorten all existing terms of directors to expire at the Annual Meeting, and remove restrictions on the number of directors (“Proposal 1”).

​

Clark, Mr. Marcus Glover, Ms. Sonia Jain, Mr. Howard W. “Hawk” Koch, Jr., Mr. Philip Lader, Mr. Gary F. Locke, Ms. Keri S. Putnam, Dr. Anthony J. Saich, and Mr. Adam J. Sussman (“Proposal 2a”).

​

2(b).

If Proposal 1 is not approved, to elect to our Board of Directors the following nominees for terms expiring at the 2028 Annual Meeting: Mr. Adam M. Aron, Mr. Howard W. “Hawk” Koch, Jr. and Dr. Anthony J. Saich (“Proposal 2b”).

​

To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025 (“Proposal 6”).

​

To conduct a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of named executive officers (“Proposal 7”).

​

To approve one or more adjournments of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the foregoing proposals (“Proposal 8”).

​

These items of business (collectively, the “Proposals”) are more fully described in the Proxy Statement accompanying this notice.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on October 13, 2025, as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Only registered stockholders and persons holding proxies from registered stockholders may attend the meeting. If your shares are registered in your name, you should bring your proxy card and a proper form of identification such as your driver’s license to the meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, trust, bank, or other nominee, you will need to bring a proxy or letter from that broker, trust, bank, or other nominee that confirms you are the beneficial owner of those shares and a proper form of identification.

Although we currently intend to hold the Annual Meeting in person, we may impose additional procedures or limitations on meeting attendees or may decide to hold the Annual Meeting in a different location or solely by means of remote communication (i.e., a virtual-only meeting). We plan to announce any such updates regarding the Annual Meeting by issuing a press release and filing the press release as definitive additional soliciting material with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We encourage you to regularly check these resources prior to the Annual Meeting if you plan to attend. While we value your participation, stockholders are strongly encouraged to vote by proxy as the preferred means of fully and safely exercising their rights.

We plan to provide a listen-only webcast of the Annual Meeting for those who are unable to attend in person. The webcast will be accessible through the Investor Relations section of our website at www.investor.amctheatres.com. Stockholders and interested parties should go to the website at least 15 minutes before the Annual Meeting time to register and/or download any necessary audio software. While the webcast will provide an opportunity to listen to the proceedings, it will not be considered attendance at the meeting, and you will not be able to vote via the webcast.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for Stockholder Meeting to be held on December 10, 2025. Pursuant to rules promulgated by the SEC, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials by notifying you of the availability of our proxy materials on the Internet. Instead of mailing paper copies of our proxy materials, we sent stockholders the Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting, with instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting via the Internet (the “Notice”). In accordance with the SEC notice and access rule, the Notice allows us to provide our stockholders with the information they need to vote through various means, while reducing the costs and environmental impact of printing and delivering proxy materials. The Notice is not a proxy and cannot be used to authorize a proxy to vote your shares. The Notice, which was mailed on or around October 24, 2025, also provides information on how stockholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. If you receive a Notice this year, you will not receive paper copies of the Proxy Materials unless you request the materials by following the instructions on the Notice. The Proxy Statement and our 2024 Annual Report may be accessed at www.envisionreports.com/amc and www.investor.amctheatres.com. As discussed in the Proxy Statement, certain stockholders were sent a full set of printed proxy materials or an email with instructions on how to access the proxy materials electronically, based on their previously indicated delivery preferences.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person and regardless of the number of shares you may own, we urge you to vote your shares over the Internet, as provided in the Notice and the Proxy Statement. If you already received or if you request proxy materials by mail, you may vote over the Internet or sign, date and mail the proxy card you receive in the envelope provided or vote via the toll-free telephone number set forth on the proxy card. Please also indicate when voting your shares over the Internet or via the toll-free number or on your proxy card whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. You may revoke your proxy and vote your shares in person in accordance with the procedures described in the Proxy Statement.

If you have any questions regarding the accompanying Proxy Statement or how to vote your shares, you may contact D.F. King & Co., Inc., our proxy solicitor, toll-free at (800) 735-3591 or collect at (212) 256-9086 or email at AMC@dfking.com.

ALL STOCKHOLDERS ARE EXTENDED A CORDIAL INVITATION TO

ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
