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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“Multi-Cinema”) 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.

Reverse Stock Split. On August 24, 2023, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio ofone 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 toone-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 the effects of 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’s cash burn rates are not sustainable long-term. In order to achieve sustainable net positive cash flows from operating activities and long-term profitability, the Company believes that revenues will need to increase to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. North America box office grosses were down approximately 22% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Until such time as the Company is able to achieve sustainable net positive cash flows from operating activities, it is difficult to estimate the Company’s future cash burn rates and liquidity requirements. Depending on the Company’s assumptions regarding the timing and ability to achieve increased levels of revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly.

There can be no assurance that the 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. Further, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating the additional liquidity necessary to meet the Company’s obligations beyond twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

The Company expects, from time to time, to continue to 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, the availability of authorized share capital, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material and to the extent equity is used, dilutive. See Note 7—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Liabilities for a summary of debt transactions that occurred during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. Additionally, the Company has bolstered its liquidity through sales of its Common Stock, see Note 8—Stockholders’ Deficit and Note 14—Subsequent Events for further information on these sales.

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. The Company manages its business undertwo reportable segments for its theatrical exhibition operations: U.S. markets and International markets.

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 revenue from non-redeemed or partially redeemed gift cards in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer (the “Proportional Method”). The Company estimates the non-redemption rate for its gift card sales and then applies the rates to the current month sales. The non-redemption rates range from 13% to 30%. The Company recognizes the total amount of expected revenue for non-redemption for that current month’s sales as income over the nextone to 36 months in proportion to the pattern of actual redemptions. The non-redemption revenue is recorded in other theatre revenues. The Company has used significant amounts of historical data to estimate its non-redemption rates and redemption patterns. The Company also recognizes revenue 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded film payables of $144.4 million and $143.9 million, respectively, which are included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2025, films licensed from the Company’sseven largest movie studio distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 83% of our U.S. admissions revenues, which consisted of Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, Sony, Paramount, 20th Century Studios, and Lionsgate Films. In Europe, approximately 76% of the Company’s box office revenue came from films attributed to ourfive largest movie distributor groups, which consisted of Disney, Universal, Warner Bros., Paramount, and Sony. The Company’s revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor’s films in any given year.

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 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. On April 17, 2025, NCM and the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Exhibitor Services Agreement (the “Amended ESA”). The term of the Amended ESA has been extended byfive years through February 13, 2042. The Company treated the Amended ESA as a contract modification pursuant toASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. Accordingly, the Company has allocated the additional consideration received from the contract modification to the exhibitor services agreement contract liability and updated the discount rate used for the significant financing component to 16.12%. Prior to the contract modification, the weighted average discount rate used to account for the significant financing component was approximately 7.5%. The contract liability will be reclassified to other theatre revenue over the new term of the Amended ESA as the remaining performance obligations are satisfied. See Note 2—Revenue Recognition for further information regarding the Amended ESA.

Customer Loyalty Programs. The Company offers a range of customer loyalty programs worldwide. Depending on the specific program, members can earn rewards, receive discounts, and access exclusive offers and services available only to members. Certain loyalty programs we offer, such as A-List, operate on a subscription model and enable members to watch multiple movies for a recurring fee. Rewards earned by members are redeemable on future purchases at our locations.

The portion of the admissions and food and beverage revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred. Upon redemption or expiration, deferred revenues associated with the rewards are recognized as revenues. The Company estimates reward non-redemption rates using historical information when assigning value to the rewards at the time of sale. Membership fees, net of estimated refunds, for our paid loyalty programs are initially deferred and allocated to the material rights for discounted or free products and services. Revenue is recognized as the rights are redeemed based on estimated utilization, over the membership period in admissions, food and beverage, and other revenues.

Membership fees for our subscription programs are recognized ratably over the subscription period in admissions revenue.

Advertising Costs. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and does not have any direct-response advertising recorded as assets. Advertising costs were $21.5 million, $22.2 million, and $43.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Advertising costs 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. As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents for the U.S. markets and International markets were $302.6 million and $125.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $513.0 million and $119.3 million, respectively.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash includes cash held in the Company's bank accounts as a guarantee for certain landlords, legal settlements, and cash collateralized letters of credit relating to the Company’s insurance and utilities programs. 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.

As of December 31, 2025, restricted cash for the U.S. markets and International markets was $20.5 million and $28.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, restricted cash for the U.S. markets and International markets was $20.7 million and $27.8 million, respectively.

Intangible Assets. 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 intangible asset may not be fully recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment annually as of the beginning of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.

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 wereno intangible asset impairment charges incurred during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

Investments. The Company accounts for its investments in non-consolidated entities using the equity method when 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. Under the equity method, the Company shall recognize its

share of the earnings or losses of an investee. In 2024, the Company reclassified equity earnings and losses to other expense (income), all comparative periods have also been reclassified. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost less impairment. The Company classifies gains and losses on sales of investments or impairments of investments without a readily determinable fair value in investment expense (income). Investments in non-consolidated entities are presented within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company holds common shares and warrants to purchase common shares of Hycroft. The common shares and warrants are recorded at fair value at each reporting period and unrealized gains and losses are reported in investment expense (income). In December 2025, the Company sold 2.3 million shares of Hycroft common stock and warrants for 1.3 million shares for $24.1 million. The Company retained warrants to purchase approximately 1 million Hycroft common shares and approximately 64,000 Hycroft common shares.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded realized and unrealized losses (gains) related to the investments in Hycroft of $(34.4) million, $2.9 million, and $12.6 million, respectively in investment income.

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.

Related Party Transactions. The Company conducts business with certain of its equity method investees in the ordinary course of business. Transactions primarily relate to advertising revenue and film exhibition costs for film rent. The Company recorded related party advertising revenue of $26.9 million, $26.7 million, and $28.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company recorded related party film exhibition costs of $17.5 million, $29.6 million, and $17.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Derivatives. The Company remeasures the derivative liabilities related to the conversion features in its Existing Exchangeable Notes and New Exchangeable Notes at fair value each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in other expense (income). The Company has obtained independent third-party valuation studies to assist in determining fair value. The valuation studies use binomial lattice models and are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. The binomial lattice models consist of simulated Common Stock prices from the valuation date to the maturity of the Existing Exchangeable Notes and New Exchangeable Notes. The inputs used to value the derivative include the share price of the Common Stock, the volatility of the share price, time to maturity, risk-free interest rate, credit spread, and the discount yield. The volatility of the Company’s Common Stock, the Common Stock price at the end of each reporting period, and the remaining amount of time until maturity of the Existing Exchangeable Notes and New Exchangeable Notes are key inputs for the estimation of fair value that are expected to change each reporting period.

The Company recorded other income related to the change in fair value of the derivatives of $(37.4) million and $(75.8) million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. See Note 7—Corporate Borrowings and Finance Lease Obligations and Note 10—Fair Value Measurements for further discussions regarding the Company’s derivatives.

Goodwill. The Company’s recorded goodwill was $2,416.1 million and $2,301.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Holdings on August 30, 2012 and subsequent business combinations. The Company has assigned goodwill to two reporting units (Domestic Theatres and International Theatres). The Company performs a qualitative assessment of goodwill at least annually as of the beginning of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value for a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.

The Company will perform a quantitative impairment test of goodwill if the qualitative assessment concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The quantitative impairment test of goodwill 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.

The Company performed qualitative assessments as of October 1, 2025 and October 1, 2024 and concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of either of the Company’stwo reporting units was less than their respective carrying amounts. The Company also concluded that there were no triggering events requiring additional assessments that had occurred between October 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025 and October 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, 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 or other indexes not to exceed certain specified amounts, and variable rentals based on a percentage of revenues. The Company often receives incentives from lessors to assist with renovations at existing locations. The Company records the incentives received from the lessors as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset which results in a reduction to lease costs over the lease term. Operating lease cost for theatre properties are recorded as rent expense in the consolidated statements of operations, except when the lease costs pertain to periods before a theatre opens or after it closes; in those cases, the costs are recorded to operating expense. Operating lease cost for equipment leases is recorded in operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The operating lease cost relating to the fixed lease payments is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease cost for both theatre properties and equipment are recorded as finance lease interest and depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recorded at the lease 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, 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.

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, theatre assets (including operating lease right-of-use assets), and internal-use software whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. 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 that indicates the 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 primarily by using a discounted cash flow model, with the difference recorded as an impairment charge. Management believes that individual theatres are the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows and therefore each individual theatre represents an asset group. The Company evaluates theatre asset groups for recoverability using projected data of theatre level cash flow as its primary indicator of potential impairment, giving consideration to 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. Actual future cash flows could vary significantly from such

estimates. The estimated future cash flows are considered Level 3 inputs within the fair value measurement hierarchy, see Note 10**—**Fair Value Measurements for further information.

The following table summarizes the Company’s impairments, including impairments of equity investments, for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded non-cash impairment of long-lived assets of $28.0 million on 47 theatres in the U.S. markets with 560 screens (in Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin) and $15.5 million on 20 theatres in the International markets with 159 screens (in Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom), which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded impairment losses of $10.3 million within investment income related to an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value in the U.S. markets.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded non-cash impairment of long-lived assets of $51.9 million on 39 theatres in the U.S. markets with 469 screens and $20.4 million on 23 theatres in the International markets with 188 screens, which were related to property, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net.

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 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. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded impairment losses of $1.0 million within investment income, related to an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value in the U.S. markets.

Foreign Currency Translation. Operations outside the United States are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated using average exchange rates. The foreign currency translation adjustments are a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net earnings (loss), except intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, which are included in comprehensive income (loss). Upon substantial liquidation of an investment in a foreign entity, the related foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is reclassified into earnings as part of the gain or loss on disposition.

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. An unfavorable outcome could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or the market prices of the Company’s securities, including the Company’s Common Stock.

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 United Kingdom and Sweden. The Company also sponsors various defined contribution plans.

The following table sets forth the plans’ benefit obligations and plan assets included in the consolidated balance sheets:

All pension plans are frozen; therefore, aggregated accumulated benefit obligations are equal to aggregated projected benefit obligations as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company expects to contribute $3.0 million to the U.S. pension plans during the year ended December 31, 2026. 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:

The weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

Pension actuarial gains and losses are recorded in stockholders’ deficit as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. For further information, see Note 12—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for pension amounts and activity recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, net periodic benefit costs were $1.2 million, $1.8 million, and $1.4 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:

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 30%, debt securities of 67%, and private real estate of 3%. 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, 2025, for the U.S. investment portfolio,95% were valued using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and 5% 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, 2025, for the International investment portfolio,8% consisting of cash and equivalents was valued using quoted market prices from actively traded markets (Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy),38% was an insurance contract whose value has been set equal to the present value of the related benefit obligation (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy), and 54% were valued using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient.

In June 2023, the High Court in the UK issued a ruling in respect ofVirgin Media Limited v NTL Pension Trustees II Limited, that decided certain amendments were invalid when amending contracted-out salary-related defined benefit pension plans in the period from April 6, 1997 until April 6, 2016, if these amendments were not accompanied by actuarial confirmations (section 37 certificates). An appeal on this decision was heard in June 2024 and The Court of Appeal ruled in July 2024 that the appeal was unsuccessful, i.e., it upheld the original High Court judgment, removing uncertainty around its application. In light of the ruling, the Company initiated an investigation with its pension trustees, of all known amendments to its two UK defined benefit pension plans during the affected period, with a view to determining whether section 37 certificates have been obtained where deemed required. The initial review concluded that across the two plans there are three documents where a section 37 certificate may have been required but the amendment document is silent. In June 2025, the UK government announced it will introduce legislation to give pension plans the ability to retrospectively obtain written actuarial confirmations that historic benefit changes met the necessary standards. This therefore provides clarity around plan liabilities and member benefit levels. On September 1, 2025, the UK government published the bill with these amendments. This legislation will not be in place until it has received royal assent, which is expected to occur in 2026. The Company will continue to monitor this change in legislation and assess any further reviews and potential retrospective confirmation with the trustees in due course.

The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans worldwide which include company match features. The expense related to defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was $11.7 million, $10.5 million, and $9.8 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 U.S. 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded casualty insurance reserves of $33.7 million and $25.7 million, respectively. The Company recorded expenses related to general liability and workers’ compensation claims of $64.2 million, $65.5 million, and $53.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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, 2025, the Company recognized government assistance in other expense (income) of $10.8 million related to cash grants received in the International markets to support businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company concluded all grant criteria had been met and that the likelihood of recapture was remote, therefore the entire award has been recognized. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized government assistance in other income of $0.1 million related to government assistance for theatres impacted by flooding in Spain. 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. 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 $1.1 million, $4.5 million and $3.2 million of government assistance as reduction to property, net during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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 years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company was awarded $0.0 million, $9.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively, 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 are granted by the government to support entities in the film exhibition industry. The Company recorded these credits as reductions to operating expense in 2024 and as reductions to rent and operating expense during 2023 as those expenses were the basis for the tax credits awarded.

Other Expense (Income): The following table sets forth the components of other expense (income):

The amendments were memorialized in a supplemental indenture dated January 12, 2026 (the “New Exchangeable Notes Supplemental Indenture”). As consideration for the indenture amendments the Company will pay the New Exchangeable Noteholders a consent fee of $6.25 million payable in shares of Common Stock. The number of shares will be based on the average of thedaily volume weighted average price of our Common Stock for thesixty consecutive trading days commencing on December 22, 2025.

The following sections provide summaries of the key terms and provisions of the New 2029 Notes Indenture (as defined herein), the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture, and the Credit Agreement Amendment (as defined herein).

them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding New 2029 Notes to be due and payable immediately.

New Exchangeable Notes Indenture

Interest, Guarantees and Security

The New Exchangeable Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “New Exchangeable Notes Indenture”), dated as of the 2025 Transactions Closing Date, by and among Muvico, as issuer, the Company, as a guarantor, the other guarantors party thereto and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “New Exchangeable Notes Collateral Agent”).

Exchange Mechanics; Soft Call; Fundamental Change; Redemption

The New Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable, at the option of the holders thereof, into Common Stock at a stock price (the “Exchange Price”) calculated based on a formula described in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture.

Under the terms of the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture, the Company has also agreed that for a period ofsix months following the Required Shareholder Approval, the Company will not engage in at-the-market offerings that exceed the lesser of 25,000,000 aggregate shares of Common Stock or $50,000,000 in aggregate net proceeds raised through such at-the-market offerings; provided, however, that if either (i) the share price of the Common Stock exceeds 200% of the Soft Call Trigger Price (as defined in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture) at any time, determined based on the average of the Daily VWAPs (as defined in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture) for any period oftwo consecutive Trading Days (as defined in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture) or (ii) at least 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock have traded above 200% of the Soft Call Trigger Price, then, in either case, all such restrictions with respect to the Company’s ability to engage in at-the-market offerings will no longer apply, so long as any Common Stock sold in any such offering is sold at a price no less than 200% of the Soft Call Trigger Price.

At any time from and after the date that isone business day following the date on which the Exchange Price has been initially determined until the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the maturity date of the New Exchangeable Notes, each holder of the New Exchangeable Notes will have the right, at its option, to surrender for exchange all or a portion of its New Exchangeable Notes at the Exchange Rate for Common Stock based on the applicable Exchange Rate (as defined in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture) then in effect. During such period, Muvico will have the right, at its election, to redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding New Exchangeable Notes at a price equal to the aggregate principal amount of the New Exchangeable Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of such redemption if the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock exceeds 110% of the Exchange Price forfifteen consecutive Trading Days ending on (and including) the Trading Day

immediately before the date on which Muvico sends a notice to holders calling such New Exchangeable Notes for redemption (a “New Exchangeable Notes Soft Call Notice”). Any such New Exchangeable Notes Soft Call Notice will provide that the applicable redemption of the New Exchangeable Notes will occur on a business day of Muvico’s choosing, not more thanten and not less than five business days after the date of the New Exchangeable Notes Soft Call Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of New Exchangeable Notes will be entitled withintwo business days of such New Exchangeable Notes Soft Call Notice to submit their New Exchangeable Notes for exchange under the terms of the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture. On December 22, 2025, the Company and the holders of the New Exchangeable Notes agreed to amend the Exchange Rate which was memorialized in the New Exchangeable Notes Supplemental Indenture. The New Exchangeable Notes Supplemental Indenture also increases the limit on at-the-market offerings to $150.0 million of aggregate net proceeds. As consideration for the indenture amendments the Company will pay the New Exchangeable Noteholders a consent fee of $6.25 million payable in shares of Common Stock. The number of shares will be based on the average of thedaily volume weighted average price of our Common Stock for thesixty consecutive trading days commencing on December 22, 2025.

In the event that holders of New Exchangeable Notes voluntarily elect to exchange their New Exchangeable Notes, such holders will also be entitled to a make-whole premium (the “New Exchangeable Notes Exchange Adjustment Consideration”) equal to (i) prior to July 22, 2027,21.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Exchangeable Notes being exchanged; (ii) on or after July 22, 2027 and prior to July 22, 2028,14.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Exchangeable Notes being exchanged; (iii) on or after July 22, 2028 and prior to July 22, 2029,7.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Exchangeable Notes being exchanged; and (iv) on or after July 22, 2029, zero. Muvico, at its option, will be entitled to pay the New Exchangeable Notes Exchange Adjustment Consideration in the form of shares of Common Stock (using a modified exchange price equal to 110% of the Exchange Price), subject to restrictions under the Credit Agreement, or cash intwelve equal installments over the twelve-month period following the applicable exchange or a combination thereof.

If certain corporate events that constitute a Fundamental Change (as defined in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture) occur, then holders will have the right to require Muvico to repurchase their New Exchangeable Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Exchangeable Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture). The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company, stockholder approval of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to Common Stock.

Muvico will also be required to mandatorily redeem all of the issued and outstanding New Exchangeable Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase in the event that, as of November 17, 2028, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Existing 7.5% Notes and New 2029 Notes exceeds an aggregate principal amount of $190.0 million.

Covenants and Events of Default

The New Exchangeable Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of Centertainment and Muvico and their future respective subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness; (ii) create liens; (iii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; (iv) make investments; (v) enter into transactions with its affiliates; (vi) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets; and (vii) impair the security interest in the collateral. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The New Exchangeable Notes Indenture also incorporates the other restrictive covenants contained in the New 2029 Notes Indenture. The New Exchangeable Notes Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding New Exchangeable Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Embedded Derivatives

The New Exchangeable Notes contained a feature that would increase or decrease the interest rate on December 10, 2025, depending on the outcome of the Required Shareholder Approval (the “Interest Reset Feature”). The Company bifurcated the Interest Reset Feature as: (i) the economic characteristics and risks of the interest rate change are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host instrument because the change is dependent on authorization of additional Common Stock; (ii) the host debt instrument is not remeasured at fair value but

rather, is measured at amortized cost; and (iii) the Interest Reset Feature does not qualify for derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a).

The Company will pay a consent fee to an ad hoc group of creditors, in the form of $21.3 million payable in shares of Common Stock, based on a price determined during thesixty consecutive trading days commencing December 22, 2025 (the “Consent Fee Feature”). The Consent Fee Feature was also bifurcated for the same reasons as the Interest Reset Feature.

The Company also bifurcated the Principal Adjustment Feature as: (i) the economic characteristics and risks were not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host instrument given that the Principal Adjustment Feature was tied to the price of the Company’s Common Stock; (ii) the host debt instrument is not remeasured at fair value but rather, is measured at amortized cost; and (iii) the Principal Adjustment Feature does not qualify for derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a).

The Company analyzed the contingent conversion option and New Exchangeable Notes Exchange Adjustment Consideration as one single contingent conversion option (the “Contingent Conversion Option”). The Company bifurcated the Contingent Conversion Option from the host contract as: (i) the economic characteristics of a conversion option embedded in a debt instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of a debt host contract, as stated in ASC 815-15-25-51; (ii) the host debt instrument is not remeasured at fair value but rather, is measured at amortized cost; and (iii) the Contingent Conversion Option does not qualify for derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a). The New Exchangeable Notes Exchange Adjustment Consideration (i.e., make-whole payment) does not meet the criteria for indexation under ASC 815-40-15-7C because the design of the feature does not meet the time-value scope exception and as a result is accounted for as a derivative.

The Company combined the embedded derivatives for the Interest Reset Feature, Principal Adjustment Feature, Consent Fee Feature, and the Contingent Conversion Option into a single compound derivative liability. The derivative liability is remeasured at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other expense or income.

The Principal Adjustment Feature was recorded at fair value and transferred to the carrying value of the New Exchangeable Notes upon cancellation of $39.9 million aggregate principal amount of New Exchangeable Notes on September 30, 2025. The Interest Reset Feature was recorded at fair value and transferred to the carrying value of the New Exchangeable Notes after the receipt of the Required Shareholder Approval on December 10, 2025. See Note 10–Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation methodologies.

Supplemental Indentures

In connection with entering into the Transaction Support Agreement, with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Existing Exchangeable Notes, Muvico entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture governing the Company’s Existing Exchangeable Notes, with the guarantors party thereto and the trustee and notes collateral agent thereunder. Among other things, the Supplemental Indenture makes amendments to the indenture to permit the 2025 Refinancing Transactions.

Prior to the 2025 Refinancing Transactions, with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Existing 7.5% Notes, the Company, the guarantors party thereto and CSC Delaware Trust Company, as trustee and collateral agent, entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Existing 7.5% Notes Supplemental Indenture”) to the Existing 7.5% Notes Indenture. Among other things, the Existing 7.5% Notes Supplemental Indenture made amendments to the Existing 7.5% Notes Indenture to permit the 2025 Refinancing Transactions.

Extinguishments & Subordinated Note Redemption

The Company determined that July 1, 2025 was the appropriate date to apply extinguishment accounting to the Existing Exchangeable Notes as it was the date that the Common Stock was issued and also the date the Company had a firm commitment to issue the New Exchangeable Notes. The exchanges of the Existing Exchangeable Notes for shares of Common Stock and New Exchangeable Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment as follows:

The exchanges of the Existing 7.5% Notes for New 2029 Notes were accounted for as extinguishments and resulted in a loss on extinguishment as follows:

On July 7, 2025, the Company delivered notices of conditional full redemption (the “Notices”) to holders of the Company’s outstanding 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026”) and 10%/12% Cash/PIK Toggle Second Lien Subordinated Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Second Lien Notes”) (collectively, the “Subordinated Notes”) to redeem the Subordinated Notes in full, in each case, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date (the “Redemptions”). On July 28, 2025, the Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the New 2029 Notes to fully redeem the Second Lien Notes. On August 6, 2025, the Company fully redeemed the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of $6.6 million and a loss on extinguishment of $0.3 million related to the Second Lien Notes redemption and Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 redemption, respectively.

The Credit Agreement Amendment was accounted for as a modification and resulted in expense of approximately $3.1 million for costs paid to third parties.

2024 Refinancing Transactions

On July 22, 2024, the Company completed a series of refinancing transactions (the “2024 Refinancing Transactions”) withtwo creditor groups to refinance and extend to 2029 and 2030 the maturities of the Company’s debt previously maturing in 2026.

In connection with the refinancing:

The debt repurchases and exchanges for the Second Lien Notes were accounted for as extinguishments and resulted in a loss on extinguishment as follows:

The debt exchanges for the Term Loans due 2026 were accounted for as modifications and resulted in expense of approximately $42.3 million for costs paid to third parties.

Existing Exchangeable Notes

On July 22, 2024, Muvico issued $414.4 million aggregate principal amount of its Existing Exchangeable Notes. The Existing Exchangeable Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum, if paid in cash, and 8.00% per annum, if paid in-kind by issuing PIK Notes having the same terms and conditions as the Existing Exchangeable Notes (“PIK Interest”) in each case, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, beginning on December 15, 2024. The Existing Exchangeable Notes will mature on April 30, 2030, unless redeemed or exchanged in full prior to such maturity date, pursuant to the terms contained in the Existing Exchangeable Notes Indenture as further discussed below.

At the time prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day (as defined in the Existing Exchangeable Notes Indenture) immediately preceding the final maturity date of the Existing Exchangeable Notes, each holder of the Existing Exchangeable Notes shall have the right, at its option, to surrender for exchange all or a portion of its Existing Exchangeable Notes at the Exchange Rate (as defined in the Existing Exchangeable Notes Indenture) for Common Stock. The Exchange Rate is initially set at 176.6379 shares of the Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Exchangeable Notes exchanged, which reflects a price of $5.66 per share Common Stock (“Existing Exchangeable Notes Exchange Price”), which price is equal to 113% of the closing price per share of the Common Stock

on July 19, 2024. The Exchange Rate is subject to customary adjustments and anti-dilution protections (as provided in the Existing Exchangeable Notes Indenture).

At any time prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the final maturity date of the Existing Exchangeable Notes, Muvico will also have the right, at its election, to redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Existing Exchangeable Notes at a price equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Exchangeable Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of such redemption if the Daily VWAP (as defined in the Existing Exchangeable Notes Indenture) per share of Common Stock exceeds 140% of the Existing Exchangeable Notes Exchange Price forfifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days ending on (and including) the Trading Day immediately before the date on which Muvico sends a notice to holders calling such Existing Exchangeable Notes for redemption (a “Existing Exchangeable Notes Soft Call Notice”). Any such Existing Exchangeable Notes Soft Call Notice will provide that the applicable redemption of the Existing Exchangeable Notes will occur on a business day of Muvico’s choosing, not more than ten (10) and not less than five (5) business days after the date of the Existing Exchangeable Notes Soft Call Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Existing Exchangeable Notes will be entitled within two (2) business days of such Existing Exchangeable Notes Soft Call Notice to submit their Existing Exchangeable Notes for exchange under the terms of the Existing Exchangeable Notes Indenture.

In the event that holders of Existing Exchangeable Notes voluntarily elect to exchange their Existing Exchangeable Notes, such holders will also be entitled to a make-whole premium (the “Existing Exchangeable Notes Exchange Adjustment Consideration”) equal to (i) prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date,18.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Exchangeable Notes being exchanged; (ii) on or after the third anniversary and prior to the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date,12.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Exchangeable Notes being exchanged; and (iii) on or after the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date and prior to the fifth anniversary,6.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Exchangeable Notes being exchanged. Muvico, at its option, will be entitled to pay the Existing Exchangeable Notes Exchange Adjustment Consideration in the form of shares of Common Stock (using a modified exchange price equal to 140% of the Existing Exchangeable Notes Exchange Price), subject to restrictions under the Credit Agreement, cash intwelve (12) equal installments over the twelve-month period following the applicable exchange or a combination thereof.

If certain corporate events that constitute a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Existing Exchangeable Notes Indenture) occur, then holders will have the right to require Muvico to repurchase their Existing Exchangeable Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Exchangeable Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Existing Exchangeable Notes Indenture). The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company, stockholder approval of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Common Stock.

Muvico will also be required to mandatorily redeem all of the issued and outstanding Existing Exchangeable Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase in the event that, as of ninety (90) days prior to the maturity date of the Existing 7.5% Notes, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Existing 7.5% Notes with a maturity date prior to April 30, 2030 exceeds $190,000,000.

The Existing Exchangeable Notes Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occur, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Existing Exchangeable Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The Company analyzed the conversion option and Existing Exchangeable Notes Exchange Adjustment Consideration as one single conversion option (the “Conversion Option”). The Company bifurcated the Conversion Option from the principal balance of the Existing Exchangeable Notes as a derivative liability. The Company bifurcated the Conversion Option as: (i) the economic characteristics of a conversion option embedded in a debt instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of a debt host contract, as stated in ASC 815-15-25-51; (ii) the host debt instrument is not remeasured at fair value but rather, the Existing Exchangeable Notes are measured at amortized cost; and (iii) the Conversion Option does not qualify for derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a). The Conversion Option also includes a make-whole adjustment, the Existing Exchangeable Notes Exchange Adjustment Consideration. The Existing Exchangeable Notes Exchange Adjustment Consideration (i.e., make-whole payment) does not meet the criteria for indexation under ASC 815-40-15-7C because the design of the feature does not

meet the time-value scope exception and as a result is accounted for as a derivative. The derivative liability is remeasured at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other expense or income. See Note 10–Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation methodologies.

New Term Loans due 2029

The New Term Loans mature on January 4, 2029 (or, if at least $190,000,000 remains outstanding of the (i) Existing 7.5% Notes or (ii) any indebtedness in respect of any modification, refunding, replacement, substitution, restructuring or other refinancing of the Existing 7.5% Notes on or prior to October 5, 2028, then October 5, 2028). The New Term Loans are subject to amortization of principal, payable in quarterly installments on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on September 30, 2024, equal to 1.00% per annum. The remaining aggregate principal amount outstanding (together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount) of the New Term Loans is payable at maturity.

The New Term Loans bear interest, at the option of the New Term Loan Borrowers, at rates equal to either (i) a base rate plus a margin of between 500 and 600 basis points depending on the Total Leverage Ratio or (ii) Term SOFR plus a margin of between 600 and 700 basis points depending on the Total Leverage Ratio.

The New Term Loans are guaranteed, subject to limited exceptions, by Centertainment and the future subsidiaries of Centertainment and Muvico (collectively with Muvico, the “Centertainment Group Parties”) and the Existing Guarantors, and are secured by liens on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets owned by the Company, in each case, subject to limited exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness; (ii) create liens; (iii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; (iv) make investments; (v) enter into transactions with its affiliates; (vi) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets; and (vii) maintain cash in the accounts of the Company (other than the Centertainment Group Parties). These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions. The Credit Agreement also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occur, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding New Term Loans to become immediately due and payable.

Unamortized discounts and deferred charges related to the Term Loans due 2026 of $6.5 million and fees paid to Term Loans due 2026 lenders of $45.7 million were recorded as deferred charges related to the New Term Loans and the Company will amortize those costs to interest expense following the effective interest method over the term of the New Term Loans.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Holdings entered into the 2013 Credit Agreement. The 2013 Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified) provided senior secured financing of $2,225.0 million in aggregate, consisting of (i) $2,000.0 million Term Loans due 2026 and (ii) a $225.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (which was 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 Term Loans due 2026, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).

The Term Loans due 2026 bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at Holdings’ option, either (1) 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 for a 1-month tenor, or (2) Adjusted Term SOFR plus (x) in the case of the Term Loans due 2026,2.0% 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 2013 Credit Agreement).

The Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities were completely repaid following the completion of the 2024 Refinancing Transactions.

Existing 7.5% Notes

On February 14, 2022, Holdings issued $950.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.5% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (“Existing 7.5% Notes”), pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 14, 2022, among Holdings, the guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent.

The Existing 7.5% Notes are guaranteed by the Existing Guarantors and are secured by liens on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets owned by Holdings and the Existing Guarantors, subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens.

On July 24, 2025, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture to the indenture governing the Existing 7.5% Notes that, among other things, (i) permit the 2025 Refinancing Transactions, and (ii) eliminated many of the restrictive covenants contained in the indenture governing the Existing 7.5% Notes.

On December 14, 2022, the Odeon Notes due 2027 were admitted to the official list of The International Stock Exchange (“TISE”). The Odeon Notes due 2027 will automatically delist from TISE on the business day following the maturity date of November 1, 2027, unless adequate notice is given together with supporting documents setting out any changes to the date of maturity or confirmation that the Odeon Notes due 2027 have not been fully repaid.

Second Lien Notes due 2026

On July 31, 2020, Holdings issued $1,462.3 million aggregate principal amount of its Second Lien Notes in exchange for the 6.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the “Sterling Notes due 2024”),5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025, Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026, and Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027. The Second Lien Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of July 31, 2020, among Holdings, the guarantors named therein and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee and collateral agent (the “Second Lien Notes Indenture”). The Company recorded a premium of $535.1 million on the Second Lien Notes as the difference between the principal balance of the Second Lien Notes and the $1,997.4 million carrying value of the notes exchanged.

NOTE 8—STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Share Rights and Privileges

Common Stock

Holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled toone vote per each share. Holders of Common Stock share ratably (based on the number of shares of Common Stock held) in any dividend declared by its board of directors, subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock. The Common Stock is not convertible into any other shares of the Company’s capital stock.

At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on December 10, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 550,000,000 to 1,100,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

AMC Preferred Equity Units

Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit was a depositary share and represented an interest in a share of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock evidenced by a depositary receipt pursuant to a deposit agreement. Each AMC Preferred Equity Unit was designed to have the same economic and voting rights as a share of Common Stock.

Preferred Stock

The Company has 50,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, none of which are issued oroutstanding as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Shareholder Litigation

Two putative stockholder class actions were filed in the Delaware Chancery Court that assert a breach of fiduciary duty against certain of the Company’s directors and a claim for breach of8 Del. C. § 242against those directors and the Company, arising out of the Company’s creation of AMC Preferred Equity Units, the transactions between the Company and Antara Capital LP (“Antara”) that the Company announced on December 22, 2022 (the “Antara Transactions”), and the Charter Amendments.

This litigation prevented the Company from immediately implementing the Charter Amendments. On April 2, 2023, the parties entered into a binding settlement term sheet to settle the litigation and allow implementation of the Charter Amendments. Pursuant to the settlement term sheet, record holders of Common Stock at the close of business on August 24, 2023, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, but prior to the conversion of AMC Preferred Equity Units into Common Stock (“Settlement Payment Recipients”), received a payment ofone share of Common Stock for every 7.5 shares of Common Stock owned by such Settlement Payment Recipients. On August 28, 2023, the Company made the settlement payment and issued 6,897,018 shares of Common Stock.

Charter Amendments and AMC Preferred Equity Unit Conversion

On August 14, 2023, the Company filed the third amendment to its certificate of incorporation to effectuate the Charter Amendments as of August 24, 2023. 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, the AMC Preferred Equity Units ceased trading and were subsequently delisted from the NYSE, and 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.

Reverse Stock Split

On August 24, 2023, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio ofone 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 toone-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 the effect of 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.

Share Issuances

On December 6, 2024, the Company entered into a sales and registration agreement (the “2024 Sales and Registration Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the “Sales Agent”) relating to an aggregate of up to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company.

In accordance with the terms of the 2024 Sales and Registration Agreement, the Company issued and sold shares of Common Stock covered by the prospectus supplement from time to time through the Sales Agent. The Sales Agent either acted as agent on the Company’s behalf or purchased shares of Common Stock from the Company as principal for its own account.

In December 2024, the Company entered into forward sales to sell 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. The Company evaluated the forwards under ASC 815—Derivatives and Hedging and concluded that the transactions consist of a subscription receivable accounted for under ASC 505-10-45-2 reflecting the Company’s right to receive prepayments and to deliver shares to the forward counterparty. Accordingly, pursuant to Regulation S-X 5-02.29, the Company recorded the prepayment as an increase to additional paid-in capital with an equal and offsetting subscription receivable as a decrease to additional paid-in capital. The subscription receivable was considered a debt-like host and the Company’s right to receive additional cash consideration up to a cap price based on the movement of the share price during a valuation period is an embedded feature that meets the definition of a derivative that meets the equity classification scope exception in ASC 815-40 and is not accounted for outside of equity.

In January 2025, the Company was paid $108.7 million for prepayments in respect of the forwards. The Company reduced the subscription receivable which resulted in an increase in total additional paid-in capital. The valuation period ended on March 17, 2025 with no additional consideration owed to the Company.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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 below table summarizes the activity of the various “at-the-market” offerings for the years ending December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

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.

Antara Transactions

On February 7, 2023, the Company issued 19,762,130 AMC Preferred Equity Units to Antara in exchange for $75.1 million in cash and $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Second Lien Notes. The Company recorded $193.7 million to stockholders’ deficit as a result of the transaction. The Company paid $1.4 million of accrued interest in cash upon exchange of the notes.

Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

On June 5, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved a new equity incentive plan (“2024 EIP”). Awards that may be granted under the 2024 EIP include options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”), cash awards, and other equity-based awards. The 2024 EIP will be unlimited in duration and, in the event of termination, will remain in effect as long as any shares of awards under it are outstanding and not fully vested.

The 2013 equity incentive plan, as amended (“2013 EIP”), provided for grants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSUs, PSUs, stock awards, and cash performance awards. The 2013 EIP expired on December 17, 2023 and was replaced by the 2024 EIP. Awards granted under the 2013 EIP will continue to vest over their remaining requisite service periods, the latest of which ends in January 2026.

In 2023, AMC’s Board approved equitable adjustments to all outstanding awards under the 2013 EIP 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.

The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense recorded within general and administrative: other:

As of December 31, 2025, the estimated remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation arrangements was approximately $8.1 million. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately 1.3 years. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.

Awards Granted

The Compensation Committee granted awards of stock, RSUs, and PSUs to certain of the Company’s employees and directors under the Company’s equity incentive plans. Each RSU or PSU is convertible intoone 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 toone share of Common Stock underlying the unit. Any such accrued dividend equivalents

are paid to the holder only upon vesting of the units. The grant date fair value of the awards are based on the closing share price of the Company’s Common Stock on such grant date.

The awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans generally had the following features:

The Compensation Committee establishes the annual performance targets at the beginning of each year. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, 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.

Special Awards

On February 19, 2025, the compensation committee of AMC’s Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved modification of the performance goals applicable to all 2024 Tranche Year PSU awards. This was accounted for as a modification to the 2024 Tranche Year PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA performance target such that 146% vesting was achieved. This modification resulted in the immediate additional vesting of 270,093 of the 2024 Tranche Year PSUs (4,181 cash settled units and 265,912 equity settled units). This was treated as a Type 3 modification (improbable-to-probable) which required the Company to recognize additional stock compensation expense based on the modification date fair values of the incremental PSUs. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $1.0 million of stock compensation expense related to these awards.

On February 22, 2024, the Compensation Committee approved modification of the performance goals applicable to all 2023 Tranche Year PSU awards. This was accounted for as a modification to the 2023 Tranche Year PSU awards which lowered the Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow performance targets such that 200% vesting was achieved for both targets. This modification resulted in the immediate additional vesting of 478,055 of the 2023 Tranche Year PSUs (21,829 cash settled units and 456,226 equity settled units). This was treated as a Type 3 modification (improbable-to-probable) which required the Company to recognize additional stock compensation expense based on the modification date fair values of the incremental PSUs. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $2.1 million of stock compensation expense related to these awards.

On February 23, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved special awards in lieu of vesting of the 2022 Tranche Year PSU awards. The special awards were accounted for as modification to the 2022 Tranche Year 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 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.

The activity related to the Company’s RSU and PSU awards for the year ended December 31, 2025 consisted of the following:

The weighted-average grant date fair values of the RSU awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 was $3.57, $5.15 and $35.04, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair values for the PSU awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 was $3.57, $5.03 and $40.40, respectively.

NOTE 9—INCOME TAXES

Current income tax expense represents the amounts expected to be reported on the Company’s income tax returns, and deferred tax expense or benefit represents the change in net deferred tax assets and liabilities. 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 motion picture industry and broader economy, among others. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative losses incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2025 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.

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 income tax provision reflected in the consolidated statements of operations consists of the following components:

Pre-tax losses consisted of the following:

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:

The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

A rollforward of the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is as follows:

The Company has federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards of $1,780.1 million. Approximately $313.7 million will expire between 2026 and 2037 and will be limited annually due to certain change in ownership provisions of the Code. Approximately $1,466.4 million can be used indefinitely. The Company’s foreign net operating losses of $1,068.4 millioncan be used indefinitely. The Company also has state income tax loss carryforwards of$3,042.6 million. Approximately $2,254.9 million may be used over various periods ranging from 1 to 20 years. Approximately $787.7 million can be used indefinitely.

A reconciliation of the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows:

The Company, orone of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Generally, tax years beginning after December 31, 2006 are still open to examination by various taxing authorities. Additionally, as discussed above, the Company has net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for tax years ended December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2025, 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.

NOTE 10—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. 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:

Recurring Fair Value Measurements. The following tables summarize the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis:
