CHANHASSEN, Minn., Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LTH) ("Life Time" or the "Company") announced today that its indirect subsidiary, Life Time, Inc. (the "Issuer"), priced its previously announced private offering (the "Offering") of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior secured notes due 2031 (the "Notes"). The Offering was upsized from $400 million to $500 million in aggregate principal amount. The Notes will pay interest on a semi-annual basis. The Offering is expected to close on November 5, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, the Issuer intends to amend its existing credit agreement to incur new term loans maturing in 2031 in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000 million (the "New Term Loan Facility" and, together with the Offering, the "Refinancing") and amend certain other provisions of its existing credit agreement. Borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% (subject to a certain ratings-based step-down).
The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Refinancing and cash from its balance sheet to fund the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer's 5.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and 8.000% Senior Notes due 2026, as well as pay related fees and expenses. The additional proceeds from the increased aggregate principal amount of the Notes will be used to repay a corresponding amount of loans drawn under the Issuer's revolving credit facility.
Erik Weaver, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated: "We are pleased with this Refinancing. We believe the pricing and terms reflect the strength of our credit profile. With this objective now met, we look forward to taking advantage of the opportunities and growth ahead."
The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by LTF Intermediate Holdings, Inc., the direct parent of the Issuer, and each of the Issuer's existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantees its New Term Loan Facility, subject to certain exceptions. The Notes and the related guarantees thereof will be offered in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No assurance can be made that the Offering or the other refinancing transactions will be consummated on their proposed terms or at all.
