At the AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on September 24, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 EIP”) to increase the total number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) subject to the 2024 EIP from 25,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares.

The foregoing summary of the amendment to the 2024 EIP does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment to the 2024 EIP, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

A total of 552,889,155 out of 892,604,638 eligible shares of Common Stock were present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. For non-routine matters, 372,425,739 shares of Common Stock participated after excluding broker non-votes. For the non-routine matters of amending the Certificate of Incorporation, which required approval of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, broker non-votes and abstentions had the same effect as a vote against the proposal. For the routine matters of ratifying appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and adjournment of the Annual Meeting, and the non-routine matters of electing directors, amending the 2024 EIP, approving executive compensation on an advisory basis and approving the frequency of the advisory vote to approve executive compensation, broker non-votes and abstentions had no effect on the outcome as they were not considered votes cast.

For purposes of this report, all share counts are rounded to the nearest whole number and all percentages are rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent. Reported percentages of votes cast exclude abstentions and broker non-votes.

The matters submitted to stockholders at the Annual Meeting and the voting results were as follows:

Proposal 1: Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors, shorten all existing terms to expire at the Annual Meeting, and remove restrictions on the number of directors

Stockholders failed to approve the amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the board of directors of the Company, shorten all existing terms to expire at the Annual Meeting, and remove restrictions on the number of directors. While over 97% of votes cast supported the amendment, the proposal required a majority of the shares outstanding for approval.

Proposal 2(b): Election of Directors

Because Stockholders failed to approve Proposal 1, Proposal 2(a) was not presented to the Stockholders.

Stockholders elected all Class III director nominees to hold office for terms expiring at the Company’s 2029 annual meeting of stockholders. Nominees required a plurality of the votes cast for election.

Proposal 4: Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to remove the limitation on Stockholders’ ability to call special meetings

Stockholders failed to approve the amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to remove the limitation on stockholders’ ability to call special meetings. While over 97% of votes cast supported the amendment, the proposal required a majority of the shares outstanding for approval.

Proposal 5: Amendment of the 2024 EIP

Stockholders approved the amendment of the 2024 EIP to increase the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to the 2024 EIP from 25,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares. The proposal required a majority of the votes cast for approval.

Proposal 6: Ratification of the Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Stockholders ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026. The proposal required a majority of the votes cast for approval.

Proposal 7: Non-Binding Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

Stockholders failed to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers. The proposal required a majority of the votes cast for approval.

Proposal 8: Non-Binding Advisory Vote on the Frequency of the Non-Binding Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

Stockholders selected, on a non-binding advisory basis, one year as the frequency of the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers. The proposal required a majority of the votes cast for approval.

Proposal 9: Approval of the Adjournment of the Annual Meeting

Stockholders approved the adjournment of the Annual Meeting. However, adjournment of the Annual Meeting was deemed not necessary. The proposal required a majority of the votes cast for approval.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

In connection with the approval of Proposal 5 as described in Items 5.02 and 5.07 above, the Company plans to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock for potential future issuances under the 2024 EIP. Consistent with past practice, shares registered for the 2024 EIP will be used for compensatory grants to the Company’s employees, directors, and consultants subject to such vesting conditions as may be established by the compensation committee of the board of directors and are not available for other purposes, including equity offerings outside the 2024 EIP.
