The registered direct offering of 95.25 million shares will fund the redemption of AMC’s 6.125% notes due in 2027.

Fact Check
All structural claim details are confirmed by multiple independent financial news sources citing AMC's SEC filing: the registered direct offering of 95.25 million shares, the $200 million raise, and the redemption of 6.125% notes due 2027. The Stocktwits source reports a 27% intraday drop and Investing.com reports ~19% premarket, bracketing the claim's ~25% figure; the social media lead also cited -25%. The minor variation reflects intraday vs. premarket timing, not a contradiction of the core claim.
