**Item 3.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** 

On August 10, 2025, Dr. Leonard Tow, an independent director of AMC Networks Inc. (the "Company") and one of the three members of the Company's Audit Committee, passed away. Dr. Tow admirably served on the board of Cablevision and then the Company as a founding director as of 2011, helping to guide the Company through his experienced leadership and sage advice. In business, Dr. Tow was a true pioneer in the cable industry, playing a major role in the creation of cable television and helping shape the modern media landscape.

On August 12, 2025, the Company notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that as a result of Dr. Tow's passing, the Company fails to comply with the audit committee composition requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) of the Nasdaq rules due to one vacancy on the Audit Committee and is relying on the cure provision set forth in Rule 5605(c)(4)(B). The Company further notified Nasdaq that the Company's board of directors expects to appoint an existing member of the board of directors as the third member of the Audit Committee at the board's next meeting.

On August 14, 2025, the Company received a notice letter from Nasdaq acknowledging that, as a result of Dr. Tow's death on August 10, 2025, the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires the Board's Audit Committee to be composed of at least three "independent directors" (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2)). The Nasdaq letter further provided that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), the Company is entitled to a cure period to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which cure period will expire upon the earlier of the Company's next annual shareholders' meeting or August 10, 2026; provided that, if the Company's next annual shareholders' meeting is held before February 6, 2026, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than February 6, 2026. The Company intends to comply fully with the audit committee composition requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) by or before the end of the cure period.
