AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. was blocked by a Delaware judge Friday from converting its controversial APE preferred units into common stock, a ruling that sent the company’s class A shares surging up to 100% in after-hours trading.
Vice Chancellor Morgan T. Zurn rejected a nine-figure settlement that would have let the conversion proceed while handing out extra stock to mitigate the dilution of ordinary shareholders.
