Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Class A-2 Notes
On January 25, 2022, Planet Fitness Master Issuer LLC, a limited-purpose,
bankruptcy remote, indirect subsidiary of the Company (the "Master Issuer"),
Planet Fitness Holdings, LLC (the "Manager"), Planet Fitness SPV Guarantor LLC,
Planet Fitness Franchising LLC, Planet Fitness Assetco LLC and Planet Fitness
Distribution LLC, each of which is a limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote,
wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Manager (collectively, the
"Guarantors"), the Company, Planet Fitness Intermediate, LLC and Pla-Fit
Holdings, LLC, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement dated January 25, 2022
(the "Purchase Agreement"), with Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as representative
of the several initial purchasers, relating to the issuance and sale of $900
million aggregate principal amount of notes consisting of $425 million Series
2022-1 3.251% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-I with an anticipated
term of 5 years, and $475 million Series 2022-1 4.008% Fixed Rate Senior Secured
Notes, Class A-2-II with an anticipated term of 10 years (together, the
"Class A-2 Notes") in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. The Purchase Agreement contains customary closing
conditions and the offering is anticipated to close on or around February 10,
2022 (the "Closing Date"), subject to satisfaction of various closing
conditions.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the
Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1.
Variable Funding Notes
In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Master Issuer
also entered into a revolving financing facility consisting of Variable Funding
Notes (the "Variable Funding Notes"), which allows for the issuance of up to
$75 million of Variable Funding Notes and certain other credit instruments,
including letters of credit, as of the Closing Date. This replaces the Master
Issuer's existing revolving financing facility. The Master Issuer anticipates
drawing on the Variable Funding Notes on the Closing Date, and immediately after
issuance, the Master Issuer expects all $75 million of the Variable Funding
Notes will be drawn. The Variable Funding Notes will allow for drawings on a
revolving basis. Drawings and certain additional terms related to the Variable
Funding Notes are governed by the Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement dated as of
the Pricing Date (the "Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement") among the
Master Issuer, the Guarantors, the Manager, certain conduit investors, financial
institutions and funding agents, and ING Capital LLC, as provider of letters of
credit, as swingline lender and as administrative agent. The Variable Funding
Notes will be governed in part by the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement
and by certain generally applicable terms contained in the Amended and Restated
Base Indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date, as supplemented by the
Series 2022-1 Supplement to be dated as of the Closing Date, among the Master
Issuer and Citibank, N.A. as trustee and securities intermediary. Interest on
the Variable Funding Notes will be payable at per annum rates equal to Adjusted
Term SOFR or the lenders' commercial paper funding rate plus 200 basis points.
There is a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Variable Funding Notes
facility, equal to 50 basis points. It is anticipated that the principal and
interest on the Variable Funding Notes will be repaid in full on or prior to
December 2026, subject to two additional one-year extensions at the option of
the Manager. Following the anticipated repayment date (and any extensions
thereof), additional interest will accrue on the Variable Funding Notes equal to
5.00% per annum. The Variable Funding Notes and other credit instruments issued
under the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially
all of the assets of the Master Issuer and the Guarantors. In connection with
the issuance of the Variable Funding Notes on the Closing Date the Master Issuer
expects to terminate the commitments with respect to the Company's existing
senior secured credit facilities. The Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement
contains customary closing conditions and the offering is anticipated to close
on the Closing Date.
The foregoing description of the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement does
not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by,
reference to the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement, the form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
