On , July 30, 2018, AMC Networks Inc. (NASDAQ: AMCX) and RLJ Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: RLJE), announced that they have entered into an agreement for AMC Networks to acquire RLJ Entertainment in a going-private merger. In the merger, RLJ Entertainment's outstanding common stock (other than shares owned by Mr. Johnson, AMC Networks and their respective affiliates) will be converted into the right to receive $6.25 per share in cash, without interest; the holders of the Company's outstanding preferred stock (other than affiliates of AMC Networks) will be offered the opportunity to elect to receive $7.8125 in cash for each underlying "as converted" share of Company common stock in accordance with the terms of such preferred stock; and the holders of warrants (other than Mr. Johnson, AMC Networks and their respective affiliates) will be paid the excess of the $6.25 per share merger consideration over the per share exercise price of their warrants.
