AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. disclosed the voting results from its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 24, 2026. Stockholders approved an amendment to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (EIP), doubling the authorized Class A common shares under the plan from 25,000,000 to 50,000,000, for which AMC plans to file an S-8 registration statement. Stockholders also re-elected three Class III directors (Denise M. Clark, Sonia Jain, and Keri S. Putnam) for terms expiring in 2029 and ratified Ernst & Young, LLP as independent auditor. However, stockholders rejected the non-binding advisory resolution on named executive officer compensation (54.7% voted against). Additionally, despite overwhelming majorities (>97%) of votes cast in favor, several governance-related Certificate of Incorporation amendments—including board declassification, removal of director count restrictions, allowing stockholder action by written consent, and removing special meeting limitations—failed to pass because they fell short of the required absolute majority of total outstanding shares (achieving ~40.3%–40.5% of outstanding shares due to 180.5M broker non-votes).

• Stockholders approved increasing the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan capacity by 25,000,000 Class A shares (from 25,000,000 to 50,000,000 shares), backed by a planned Form S-8 registration.
• The non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation failed, with 202,687,611 votes against (54.7% of votes cast) versus 167,784,104 votes for (45.3%).
• Charter amendments to declassify the board, permit stockholder written consent, and allow special meetings failed the absolute majority threshold of outstanding shares (securing ~40.3%–40.5% vs. required >50%), hindered by 180,463,416 broker non-votes out of 892,604,638 total eligible shares.
