AMC Entertainment issues statement about health of CEO Adam Aron

AMC Entertainment (AMC) issued a statement on behalf of its Chairman and CEO Adam Aron. Highlights include: “While on a recent London business trip related to the international movie theatre activities of AMC, Mr. Aron suffered a minor stroke on November 17. He immediately received state-of-the-art emergency medical care at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurological Sciences…Fortunately, there are no indications of loss of cognitive brain function related to Mr. Aron’s ability to process complex information, his memory or his written communications, which are all normal and undiminished. His only meaningful limitation was an initial slurring of his speech…He expects to make a speedy and full recovery…Given his mental acuity and physical resilience, Mr. Aron remains in full command at the helm of AMC and continues to perform his duties as Chairman, CEO and President. ..Mr. Aron remained in London before flying on commercial flights back to the United States this past weekend… As has been the case since his brief hospital stay, he continues to work on a full-time basis.” AMC does not plan to comment further on his recovery.
