AMC bonds stronger on day, week; Bausch notes mixed; December distressed returns up

By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., Dec. 15 – Trading remained strong in AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.’s junk and distressed paper Friday after the company reported it will exchange $36 million of its 10%/12% cash/PIK second-lien subordinated notes due 2026 for class A shares in a series of privately negotiated agreements.

AMC’s 10% senior secured second-lien notes due 2026 (Caa3/CCC-) rose ¾ point to 84¾ bid in one of the session’s busiest bonds on $15.5 million of volume, a source said.

The notes were ending the week about 3¾ points better.

AMC’s 7½% senior secured first-lien notes due 2029 (Caa1/B-) edged up less than 1/8 point to just under 70 bid on $6 million of trading.

The secured notes were going out more than 2 points higher on the week.

Bausch Health Cos. Inc.’s 11% senior secured first-lien notes due 2028 (Caa1/CCC+/B) were under pressure with the notes down over 1 point at 69¼ bid on nearly $12 million of activity, a source said.

The 6 1/8% senior secured notes due 2027 (Caa1/CCC+/B) were flat at 65 bid in light trading totaling $3 million.

Elsewhere, S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Distressed Bond index month-to-date total returns climbed to nearly 6% on Thursday, while year-to-date distressed total returns improved to more than 21% in the prior session.
