Connor joined AMC in 2002 and has played a pivotal role in the
Company’s growth and transformation. During his tenure, he provided
legal oversight for significant milestones, including AMC’s 2006
merger with Loews Cineplex Entertainment, its initial public
offering on the New York Stock Exchange in 2013, and the 2016/2017
acquisitions of ODEON/UCI Cinemas, Nordic Cinemas Group and Carmike
Cinemas. Most recently, he has helped guide AMC during its recovery
from the pandemic in the 2020s.
Gladbach, who has served as Vice President, Legal, since 2009,
is being considered for the long-term General Counsel position.
Commenting on the announcements, Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of
AMC Entertainment, said: “I want to thank Kevin Connor for his more
than two decades of dedicated service to AMC. We are a better
company from his having guided our legal efforts these many years,
and we wish him well as retirement sparks the next chapter of his
life. We are equally grateful that Kevin has devoted considerable
effort in training potential successors. In addition to external
candidates, we certainly will consider internal candidates as we
move forward in the selection process of AMC’s next General
Counsel. To that end, we know that we are in extremely capable
hands as Eddie Gladbach steps up to immediately lead our Legal
Department going forward.”
