Silver Lake, the second largest holder, has sold its entire stake in the theater chain for $ 713 million.
Baron’s It was reported that private-equity firm Silver Lake was converting AMC (ticker: AMC) debt into stock earlier this week. In a Silver Lake filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, the firm noted that it sold all 44.4 million shares on January 27, at an average price of $ 16.05.
At the end of 2020, Silver Lake’s AMC convertible notes gave it a 21.3% ownership stake in the company’s publicly traded Class A common shares. Silver Lake had a very low voting stake, as China-based Wanda America Entertainment held 51.8 million supervisory Class B shares at the time. Class B shares carry three votes, while Class A common shares carry one vote each. Wanda America controlled 58.8% of the voting power of AMC at that time.
Silver Lake did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the stock sale.
AMC stock has recorded a decline of 525.5% so far this year, which is in the midst of a short period in the market.
