AMC Theatres, the largest cinema chain in the US, may run out of cash by July — now it's seeking a $500 million lifeline

In early April, S&P Global downgraded its credit rating to CCC- from B-.

The company on Thursday evening announced it was pursuing a private debt offering. In a financial filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, AMC said that it thinks the $500 million in additional liquidity will help them last until a partial reopening of business in November. "The closing of the Notes Offering will be conditioned on receiving these waivers. However, we can make no assurances in this regard and a failure to obtain these waivers could result in a default under these facilities," the company's SEC filing reads.

The company in late February announced a plan to reduce its debt burden and boost profitability — includingand its shareholder dividend, on top of previous announced reductions in capital expenditures. "We cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will be correct because we have never previously experienced a complete cessation of our operations, and as a consequence, our ability to be predictive is uncertain," the company said in the filing.
