What's Going On With AMC Entertainment Stock Wednesday?
AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC) shares are trading lower. The company's APE stock conversion was upheld on Wednesday by Delaware's highest court.
AMC娛樂控股公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：AMC）股價走低。特拉華州最高法院週三維持了該公司的APE股票轉換。
What Happened: Chief Justice Collins J. Seitz Jr. signed a court order on Wednesday affirming a prior ruling to allow AMC to move forward with its stock conversion to AMC Preferred Equity units, or APE units, according to Bloomberg.
發生了什麼：據彭博社報道，首席大法官小柯林斯·塞茨週三簽署了一項法院命令，確認了先前的一項裁決，即允許AMC推進向AMC優先股單位或APE單位的股票轉換。
AMC declared a special dividend in the form of AMC Preferred Equity units in 2022 to slide by share limits for raising capital without approval from shareholders. AMC shareholders expressed concerns about dilution from day one and pushed back against the move.
AMC宣佈在2022年以AMC優先股單位的形式派發特別股息，在未經股東批准的情況下下調股權限額以籌集資金。AMC股東從第一天起就對稀釋表示擔憂，並反對這一舉動。
In 2023, AMC proposed a settlement with shareholders to allow for the conversion of APE units into common shares. The proposed plan also included a one-for-ten reverse stock split. After some back and forth, the Chancery Court ultimately approved AMC's revised stock conversion plan. Delaware's highest court upheld that ruling in a one-page order this week.
2023年，AMC提議與股東達成和解，允許將APE單位轉換爲普通股。擬議的計劃還包括一比十的反向股票分割。經過一番來回交流，衡平法院最終批准了AMC修訂後的股票轉換計劃。特拉華州最高法院本週在一份長達一頁的命令中維持了該裁決。
"After careful consideration of the parties' briefs and the record below, and following oral argument, we find it evident that the judgment of the Court of Chancery should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons stated in the Memorandum Opinion and Order dated August 11, 2023," the court order states.
法院命令指出：“經過仔細考慮雙方的書面陳述和以下記錄，經過口頭辯論，我們發現顯然應根據2023年8月11日備忘錄意見和命令中陳述的理由，維持大法官法院的判決。”
AMC shares have been volatile in recent weeks amid a resurgence of interest in meme stocks. The volatility was sparked by the social media return of Keith Gill, a GameStop Corp (NYSE:GME) trader best known as "Roaring Kitty."
由於對模因股票的興趣重新抬頭，最近幾周，AMC的股價一直波動不定。波動是由GameStop Corp（紐約證券交易所代碼：GME）交易員基思·吉爾在社交媒體上的回歸引發的，他最出名的是 “Roaring Kitty”。
Gill is often credited with sparking the meme stock mania of 2021 that saw traders across Reddit's r/WallStreetBets relentlessly buy shares of GameStop and AMC, which ultimately led to short squeezes in the stocks.
吉爾經常被認爲引發了2021年的模因股狂熱，當時Reddit旗下的r/WallstreetBets的交易員堅持不懈地購買了GameStop和AMC的股票，這最終導致了股票的空頭擠壓。
Following the surge in AMC shares last week, the company entered into agreements to issue stock in exchange for notes. AMC also recently said it raised approximately $250 million of new equity capital through the sale of 72.5 million shares from an offering it launched in March.
繼上週AMC股價飆升之後，該公司簽訂了發行股票以換取票據的協議。AMC最近還表示，它通過出售3月份啓動的7,250萬股股票籌集了約2.5億美元的新股權資本。
