AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. operates as a holding company, and
through its subsidiaries, provides theatrical exhibition services
worldwide. On December 21, 2016, AMC completed the acquisition of
Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (“Carmike”) for $858.2 million. After the
acquisitions of Odeon Cinemas, UCI Cinemas and Carmike in 2016, AMC
became the largest movie theater chain in the world.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made
materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s
business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants
made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
(i) Carmike’s operations had been experiencing a prolonged period of
financial underperformance due to a protracted period of underinvestment
in its theaters; (ii) Carmike had experienced a significant loss in
market share when its loyal patrons migrated to competitors that had
renovated and upgraded their theaters; (iii) AMC was able to retain only
a very small number of Carmike’s loyalty program members after the
Carmike acquisition; (iv) these issues were then having a material
adverse effect on Carmike’s operations and theater attendance; and (v)
as a result of Defendants’ false statements and/or omissions, the price
of AMC common shares was artificially inflated during the Class Period.

On August 1, 2017, post-market, AMC announced its preliminary
second quarter 2017 financial results, revealing that it estimated to
report total second quarter revenues of about $1.2 billion and a net
loss of about $178.5 to $174.5 million, or a loss of $1.36 to $1.34 per
diluted share. AMC also said that its 2017 revenues were expected to
range between $5.10 and $5.23 billion and its 2017 net loss between $150
and $125 million, or a loss of $1.17 to $0.97 per diluted share.

On this news, AMC stock fell around 27% to close at $15.20 per share on
August 2, 2017, or more than 50% below the price at which the shares
were sold in the SPO.
