Despite Aron’s note ahead of his stock sale, shares in AMC fell $1.60, or around 4.2 percent, to $36.69 in after hours trading on Wednesday. In an SEC form 4 filing, Aron revealed he paid an average price of $40.529 for the 625,000 shares sold and that he retained a direct beneficial ownership of 408,497 shares.
The filing also indicates Aron will have around 3 million additional share following future vesting of equity grants. AMC shares have been volatile after the company used its status as a meme stock thanks to rogue retail traders on Reddit and other social media hubs to raise fresh cash at a steep market premium to ensure survival during the pandemic and pay down debt and interest expenses.
During the earnings call earlier this week, Aron told investors AMC was on a sustained path to recovery, judging by key metrics from the first three quarters of 2021 amid a wider box office rebound for the exhibition industry.
