Investment thesis – bet on higher takeover price from AMC as CKEC shareholder will reject the current offer due to price being too low

Carmike Cinemas (4th largest movie theater company in US) is in the process of being bought by AMC Entertainment (2nd largest). This M&A would create the largest movie theater chain in US with obvious benefits and large synergies for AMC.

Carmike Cinemas trades at $30.47 vs.  current takeover price of $30.00.
