Proxy Solicitation
Proposal 5: Amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from 550,000,000 shares to 1,100,000,000 shares requires approval by a majority of the votes cast with respect to this matter. Our Board recommends a vote “for” this proposal.
Proposal 6: Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm requires approval by a majority of the votes cast with respect to this matter. Our Board recommends a vote “for” this proposal.
Proposal 7: Non-binding advisory vote on compensation of named executive officers (the “Say-On-Pay Vote”) requires approval by a majority of the votes cast with respect to this matter. Our Board recommends a vote “for” this proposal. The vote on Proposal 7 is a non-binding advisory vote.
Proposal 8: Adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies requires approval by a majority of the votes cast with respect to this matter. Our Board recommends a vote “for” this proposal.
How Votes Are Counted
A quorum is required to transact business at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders of record holding shares of Common Stock constituting one-third of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting constitute a quorum. If you have returned valid proxy instructions or attend the meeting in person, your shares will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you abstain from voting on some or all matters introduced at the meeting. As of the close of business on October 13, 2025, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 512,943,561 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, held by 14,281 registered holders. Thus, the holders of at least 170,981,187 shares of Common Stock must be present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting to constitute a quorum.
Abstentions will be treated as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. However, abstentions will not be considered votes cast on any matter requiring the affirmative vote of a majority or other proportion of the votes cast. Accordingly, abstentions with respect to Proposals 5, 6, 7, and 8, will have no impact on the voting results for such proposals. Abstentions with respect to Proposals 1, 3, and 4, which require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding entitled to vote thereon, will have the same effect as a vote against such proposals. Because a plurality of the votes cast is required for Proposal 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable, abstentions and withheld votes will have no effect on such proposals.
Under the rules of the NYSE, brokers may not vote on “non-routine” proposals unless they have received voting instructions from the beneficial owner, and to the extent that they have not received voting instructions, brokers report such number of shares as “non-votes.” Your bank, broker or other nominee may vote your shares in its discretion on “routine” matters. Proposals 1, 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable, 3, 4, 5, and 7, are considered “non-routine,” which means that brokerage firms may not vote in their discretion regarding these items on behalf of beneficial owners who have not furnished voting instructions. Proposals 6 and 8, however, are considered “routine” items, which means that brokerage firms may vote in their discretion on behalf of beneficial owners who have not furnished voting instructions. Broker non-votes will be considered as represented for purposes of determining a quorum. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against Proposals 1, 3, and 4 and will have no effect on the vote on Proposals 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Although Proposal 7 is a non-binding advisory vote, our Board will review the results and will take them into account in making determinations concerning executive compensation.
Proxy Solicitation
The Company is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting by means of the proxy materials. When stockholders vote over the Internet, by telephone, or when proxies are properly dated, executed, and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instruction of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of our Board as described above and, if any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the shares will be voted in accordance with the proxies’ judgment.

The Company will pay for the Annual Meeting, including the cost of mailing the Notice, paper copies of our proxy materials as requested by stockholders, and any supplemental materials. Directors, officers, and employees of the Company may, either in person, by telephone or otherwise, solicit proxies. They have not been specifically engaged for that purpose, however, nor will they be compensated for their efforts. The Company has engaged D.F. King & Co., Inc., to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. We will bear the entire cost of proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of the proxy materials. AMC will pay D.F. King & Co., Inc., a fee of $16,000. AMC will also reimburse D.F. King & Co., Inc., for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and other agreed-upon expenses and will indemnify D.F. King & Co., Inc., and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses. In addition, we will reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of our shares for their reasonable expenses in forwarding the Notice, paper copies of our proxy materials as requested by beneficial owners, and other soliciting materials to the beneficial owners.
If you receive more than one set of printed materials, your shares may be registered in more than one name and/or are registered in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each set of printed materials to ensure that all your shares are voted.
