AMC’s stock-conversion plan is part of its ongoing battle to eliminate debt.
Shares of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. fell 22.3% Monday ahead of the company’s planned stock conversion.
The shares fell on trading volume of 93.2 million shares, well above their 65-day average of 29.09 million shares. Some 26.7% of AMC’s AMC, -22.37% float is shorted. The stock is also on track to snap a four-day winning streak and is on pace for its largest daily percentage decline since Aug. 14, when it fell 35.6%.The conversion of AMC Preferred Equity units APE, -5.
In a Form 8-K filed with the SEC last week, AMC explained that the reverse stock split is expected to occur on Aug. 24, which is also the record date set for a litigation-settlement payment as of close of business that day. Conversion of APEs into AMC common stock is expected to occur on Aug. 25, with the APEs ceasing trading that day and subsequently being delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
The APE units fell 3.7% Monday. The APE name is a nod to the investors who turned the company into a meme stock, who often refer to themselves as “apes” or “ape nation.”By proceeding with its stock-conversion plan, AMC will be more resilient and will also eliminate the capital-raising inefficiencies of APE units trading at a significant discount to AMC shares, AMC CEO Adam Aron said in a letter last week.
The resolution of AMC’s court case removes “a significant overhang” for the company, Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese wrote in a note released last week. “We expect AMC and APE shares to converge around $3 into the conversion ,” she said.
