SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China’s Wanda Group, the major shareholder in AMC Entertainment Holdings Ltd, conducted a share conversion to permit sales of its stock in the cinema operator, a target of the recent WallStreetBets retail frenzy, AMC said in an exchange filing.
Wanda America Entertainment Inc, a Wanda unit, converted its Class B common stock in AMC to Class A shares on Feb. 1 “in order to permit sales of its common stock,” AMC said in the filing to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Feb 5.
A regulatory filing reveals that the Beijing-based company, which owns a controlling stake in AMC, recently executed a share conversion "to permit sales of its common stock" in the U.S. theater giant.
