PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY

We present here a summary of important information in this proxy statement. Please review the complete proxy statement before you vote.

2025 Business Highlights

Below are some key highlights from our last completed fiscal year:

In 2025, AMC Global Media continued to adapt and innovate amidst a competitive and fast changing media environment. We are pleased with the progress we have made to focus the business around free cash flow generation as we continue to focus on three key areas that we believe will drive our business forward – high-quality programming, innovative distribution partnerships, and profitability. The following are a few of our 2025 business highlights:

We received awards recognition for our content, including:

Director Nominees

The board of directors of AMC Global Media (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) has nominated ten director candidates: three Class A nominees and seven Class B nominees. Each director is nominated for a term to expire at the 2027 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. Our directors have significant management, leadership and industry experience. In addition to these valuable attributes, our independent Class A nominees, elected by our Class A stockholders, also bring extensive knowledge of the media industry, enabling them to provide effective independent oversight of strategy and management’s execution of strategic initiatives, which is complemented by the valuable institutional knowledge of the Company that our Class B nominees, elected by our Class B stockholders provide. 40% of our director nominees are independent directors. See Proposal 1 — Election of Directors, “Directors Elected By Class A Common Stockholders” and “Directors Elected By Class B Common Stockholders” in this proxy statement for detailed information about each director’s background, skills and qualifications.

iii

Executive Compensation Highlights

We, as a company, place great importance on our ability to attract, retain, motivate and reward experienced executive officers. The Company strives to do so by developing executive compensation policies and programs that are consistent with the strategic objectives of growing the Company’s businesses and enhancing the value of the Company. In particular, we believe that the majority of compensation should be at risk and contingent on Company performance.

The primary elements of 2025 executive compensation were base salary, an annual cash incentive award and long-term incentive awards in the form of restricted stock units, which vest ratably over three years, and cash performance awards that cliff vest at the end of three years based on the achievement of specified performance metrics. In 2025, in-line with our commitment to aligning pay with Company performance, 81% of the total target compensation to Ms. Dolan, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and 68% of the total target compensation to our other named executive officers (“NEOs”) was“at-risk.” In this way, a significant portion of the value of compensation ultimately realized by our NEOs depended upon either the Company’s performance against key performance measures that align with our business strategy, or the direct performance of our stock and thus, the experience of our stockholders. For the full list of our NEOs, please refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement.

Our independent Compensation Committee regularly evaluates our compensation program to ensure it continues to support ourpay-for-performance philosophy, advances the Company’s strategic objectives, and aligns with long-term stockholder value creation. As a result, the Committee implemented and approved changes in 2025 to further align the compensation program with the Company’s strategic priorities and perspectives shared by stockholders through ongoing engagement efforts. Specifically, the Committee added net revenues as a financial performance metric for determining the annual cash incentive award and, beginning with cash performance awards granted in 2026, will introduce a three-year cumulative free cash flow goal and a stock price modifier measured over three years, in addition to the annual AOI goals historically included in the Company’s long-term incentive program. These enhancements are designed to more closely align the compensation of our NEOs with stockholder interests and are discussed in more detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement.
