Kansas City, Mo. (June 23, 2009) -- AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMC" or the "Company") announced today the completion of its cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase any and all of its outstanding $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 8-5/8% Senior Notes due 2012 (the "Notes"). The Tender Offer expired at midnight EDT, on June 22, 2009 (the "Expiration Date"). As previously announced, AMC received tenders from the holders of $238,065,000, or approximately 95.23%, of its outstanding Notes prior to the expiration of the consent payment deadline on June 8, 2009 at 5 p.m. EDT (the "Consent Date"). No additional Notes were tendered from the Consent Date to the Expiration Date.
Under the terms of the Tender Offer, holders of the Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes and consents prior to the Consent Date would be entitled to receive the "total consideration," which is equal to (i) $1,000 per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes validly tendered, or the "tender consideration," plus (ii) $30 per $1,000 in principal amount of the Notes validly tendered, or the "consent payment." Holders of the Notes who validly tendered their Notes after the Consent Date but on or before the Expiration Date would be entitled to receive only the tender consideration. In both cases, holders whose Notes are purchased in the Tender Offer would also be entitled to be paid accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent interest payment date on the Notes to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. The Company intends to redeem any Notes that remain outstanding at a price of $1,021.56 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes as promptly as practicable after August 15, 2009 in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes.
