In light of misinformation being spread regarding @CEOAdam and @AMCTheatres' expressed intent for a 1:10 reverse #split, here's a quick🧵to address the #FUD, & explain why AA is still playing 3D Chess, and why this can benefit #AMC. 1/
A reverse split is a "corporate action". 2/

Some corporate actions require a CUSIP change. 3/

NASDAQ/SEC let us know on the Company Event Notification Form that reverse splits require a CUSIP change. 4/

Investopedia lists many advantages to reverse spilts, but the only disadvantages are: perception of a stock from investors and reduction in supply of the stock.

TLDR: Bad for shorts 6/

A 2011 CNBC article titled “Reverse Stock Splits Are Usually Good for Investors: Report” lets us know that only 2 of the 14 stocks that reverse-split went down, & average gain was 62.55%

TLDR: Good for AMC 7/
As it relates to voting, the registered owner of a share is entitled to this right. Shorts with #synthetic shares/#nakedshorts will need to locate shares and determine the owner and/or buy in bulk to meet the reqt's.

TLDR: Bad for shorts. 8/

Did you know that BNY Mellon Capital Markets reported $3,667,348,309 of "Securities sold, not yet purchased", as of June 30, 2023?!?

Ironically, despite being able to rack up more than $3.5 billion in sold, not yet purchased, BNY Mellon Capital Markets is not a material entity within the BNY Mellon organization, as illustrated by their absence from the organizational structure chart.
BNY Mellon defines a material entity as one that is "significant to the activities of our core business lines or critical operations".

Let's quickly look at how JPMorgan is responsible for the ballooning precious metals derivatives contracts.

A🧵...Image
1/
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) tells us:
"Beginning January 1, 2022, the largest banks are required to calculate their derivative exposure amount for regulatory capital purposes using the Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR). Under SA-CCR gold derivatives are considered precious metals derivative contracts rather than an exchange rate derivative contract resulting in an increase in reported precious metals derivative contracts compared to prior quarters".

Translation:

Regulation changes required banks calculate and report on gold derivatives, as their classification changed from exchange rate derivative contract to being precious metals derivatives contracts. This would ultimately lead to a spike in precious metals derivatives contracts.

March 18, 2024 marks the beginning of new standards for U.S. treasury securities. More specifically, these standards apply to covered clearing agencies for U.S. treasury securities, as well as the broker-dealer customer protection rule.

So, what's changing?
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is adopting new rules which will amend standards to covered clearing agencies for U.S. Treasury securities, which will require:

1. Direct participants of a covered clearing agency will submit eligible secondary market transactions involving U.S. treasury securities to the covered clearing agency for clearing and settlement.

2. Additional amendments to standards for covered clearing agencies, as it relates to risk management.

3. Amendment of the broker-dealer customer protection rule, which will permit any margin required and on deposit with covered clearing agencies for U.S. Treasury securities to be included as a debit in the reserve formulas.

Making matters worse is, because of an elevated effective federal funds rate, DTCC participants that have failed to deliver treasuries have not paid a penalty for these FTD's in 369 consecutive trading days.

New York Community Bancorp (NYCB) has recently been thrust into the limelight, as negative headline after negative headline has flooded the internet.

Let's quickly recap some recent events before looking at some red flags that could help us understand where things went wrong, and why NYCB may likely be the next FDIC-insured bank to fail.

A quick🧵...

Note:

"The Company" = NYCBImage
1/
(Bloomberg) --

"Mounting pressure from a top US watchdog [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)] led to New York Community Bancorp’s surprise decision to slash its dividend and stockpile cash in case commercial real estate loans go bad, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter".

While it was known the bank was building its reserves, in response to more tight regulatory controls in the wake of 2023 bank failures, things ramped up "after the lender swelled beyond $100 billion in assets while acquiring parts of Signature Bank last year"

"...investors were rattled when it [NYCB] set aside $552 million for potential loan losses — more than 10 times what analysts anticipated — and slashed quarterly dividends by 70%"

In the following days, things escalated quickly!

In addition to beefing up their increased capital requirement reserves, the bank also said...

• "...debts 30 to 89 days past due had jumped 48% last quarter compared to the quarter before..."

• "The stock dropped 45% over the two days after its announcement, leading the broader KBW Regional Banking Index of 50 companies down 8.2%, its worst two-day performance since SVB imploded..."

These investors were likely caught off guard because after the lender acquired parts of Signature Bank last year, its assets quickly rose above the $100 billion threshold to more stringent regulatory oversight. More specifically, higher capital requirements.

If there is one thing investors don't like, it is uncertainty, as they lead to fears. If there is one thing investors don't like even more, is confirmation of their fears.

The acquisition of Signature Bank ultimately led to some investors running.

(Bloomberg) --

"New York Community Bancorp has been reaching out to investors for capital to finance a large portfolio of residential mortgages as pressures on the regional lender mount..."

"The company is seeking third-party capital for a portfolio of residential mortgages held under its Flagstar Bank unit. Among the options is a synthetic risk transfer backed by a portfolio of about $5 billion of home loans originated when interest rates were lower, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing information that isn’t public. In a synthetic securitization, banks offload their exposure to loans by effectively transferring the risk of the assets to the buyer"

"NYCB also is exploring the sale of a roughly $1 billion portfolio of recreational-vehicle and marine loans..."

NYCB is having money trouble, and is considering offloading some of its exposure to [likely] unsuspecting buyers, by way of a synthetic securitization, as well as reaching out to current investors for additional capital.

Under the pressure and weight of interest rates and poor financial decisions, NYCB is getting desperate.
