Good looksThey asked at the last investor meeting. The answer was basically wait until they are fully out of the covid hole. So probably not till 2023
Sean Goodman -- Chief Financial Officer Thanks, Adam. So the first question we have is from Timothy. And the question is, do you have any plans to offer a dividend again?
Adam Aron -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Timothy. We appreciate the question. If you look at our path since going public in 2013, AMC paid sizable quarterly dividend every quarter until we got close to the pandemic. And realizing that our liquidity would be stretched, we ceased offering a dividend. There are some commitments that we've made in some of our debt instruments that we cannot pay a dividend until at the earliest about a year from now. Having said that, we do know that dividends are very much on the mind of our shareholders. So we'll take that interest quite seriously when we have the ability to make dividends once again. We'll balance those shareholder desires against the other competing uses of our cash, what opportunities are available in M&A, how much do we need for liquidity, what can we do in the way to deleverage the company, all the priorities that Sean talked about previously.
That's a lot of juelzing just to say we ain't got it
