Cineworld abandons sale plans, secures debt deal to emerge from bankruptcy.

Cineworld's shares fell by over 30% after Regal Cinemas' owner announced it would terminate efforts to sell its US, UK, and Irish businesses. Cineworld, the world's second-largest movie theater chain, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September due to the pandemic's impact. The company announced a debt restructuring plan with lenders to exit bankruptcy, which does not provide for any recovery of funds for shareholders. Cineworld will abandon plans to sell its US, UK, and Ireland arms unless it receives an "all-cash bid" significantly higher than the current value of the businesses.
