Specifically in the film unit, it sold a 12.77% stake for RMB 7.8B ($1.24B) last month to an affiliate of Jack Ma’s Alibaba Group and the state-owned Cultural Investment Holdings Co. AMC today notes that the appointment of Zeng as its chairman “reflects Wanda’s continuing commitment to AMC.”In a statement, Zeng said: “I appreciate the leadership of Adam Aron as CEO and all the hard work by the entire AMC management team to put AMC in a position to succeed. I look forward to working with them, and with my fellow Board members, to make AMC stronger and stronger.”
