Movie theater chain AMC Entertainment has agreed to purchase a major stake in a Nevada gold and silver miner, the companies announced Tuesday, an unusual expansion for the one-time meme stock.
AMC will spend $27.9 million in cash for the deal, receiving roughly 23.4 million shares for the company, Hycroft Mining Holding Corp., and an equal amount of stock warrants. The deal would make AMC the owner of roughly 22% of Hycroft.
