  • Adam Aron, the chief executive of AMC Entertainment, took to social media over the weekend to address angry shareholders following the sale of $184 million of stock.

Adam Aron, CEO of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., defended the company's decision to raise $250 million through an equity sale, emphasizing the importance of cash reserves in the current economic climate.
