Subchapter V restructuring process expected to significantly reduce debt and strengthen CMX Cinemas' balance sheet and liquidity position Operations to continue without interruption
MIAMI, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cinemex Holdings USA, Inc., and certain affiliates ("CMX"), an operator of premium cinemas across the U.S., today announced that it has commenced proceedings under Subchapter V in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Court"). As part of these Subchapter V proceedings, CMX, with the support of its secured lender, will seek to reduce its obligations, strengthen its balance sheet, and restructure its business while protecting its employees and emerging in a stronger and more viable long-term financial position to continue serving customers across the United States.
CMX expects to file a proposed plan of reorganization (the "Plan") with the Court in due course and to meet the necessary requirements to emerge from Subchapter V as expeditiously as possible. CMX currently anticipates emerging from Subchapter V during the first part of the third quarter of 2025 and is confident that a comprehensive financial restructuring is in the best interests of CMX, its stakeholders, and business partners overall. CMX looks forward to working with its creditors and stakeholders to advance efforts to restructure its balance sheet. As part of the restructuring process, CMX intends to evaluate its lease portfolio and engage in collaborative discussions with landlords to improve lease terms and better position CMX for long-term growth.
Subchapter V is a court-supervised streamlined process that provides a forum for the efficient reorganization of CMX's business and balance sheet. CMX will remain in possession and control of its assets. Existing management and the board of directors will remain in control of the business, and CMX's operations will continue without interruption.
BUSINESS AS USUAL
During the restructuring process, CMX expects to operate its business and cinemas without interruption. In conjunction with the Subchapter V filings, CMX has submitted certain customary "first-day" motions to obtain the necessary court authority to continue honoring commitments with business partners and operating in the ordinary course of business—without disruption to customers, vendors, suppliers, or employees, as much as practicable.
CMX intends to pay all vendors and suppliers in full and on normal terms for valid amounts owed for goods and services received during the Subchapter V process. In addition, CMX expects employees will continue to receive their usual wages and benefits without interruption. CMX's available cash reserves, along with cash generated by operations, are expected to provide sufficient liquidity to meet ongoing obligations—including post-petition payments to vendors and suppliers, as well as wages, salaries, and employee benefits.
CMX continues to welcome customers to its cinemas as usual, and this will not change during the Subchapter V proceedings. CMX expects to continue honoring the terms of all existing customer membership programs, including CMX Rewards and CMX Passport.
