I don't understand.
Have you taken a corporate finance class? When the cost of issuing equity is cheap and the cost of debt is expensive, you absolutely issue equity, buy back debt, and delever your enterprise.
The retail community is giving the company a gift.

Absolutely. It's a brilliant move that they actually have the balls to execute.
However, I read (I think, it was a quick skim) that they're planning on leveraging that money to buy out new theater leases. Presumably trying to buy out marketshare for the recovery rather than pay down debt. Gotta give them credit for being bold. Not sure I'd do it, but it's a bold strategy.
