The report details the completion of a private offering of senior secured notes and amendments to the Company's existing credit agreement by its indirect subsidiary, Life Time, Inc. (the "Issuer").
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The filing focuses on new debt obligations rather than operational financial performance metrics such as revenue or cash flow, which are not provided in this document.
- Senior Secured Notes: $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% Senior Secured Notes due November 15, 2031.
- New Term Loan Facility: $1,000 million aggregate principal amount maturing in 2031.
- Interest Rate (Notes): 6.000% per annum, payable semi-annually starting May 15, 2025.

- Guarantees: The Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by LTF Intermediate Holdings, Inc. and certain domestic restricted subsidiaries.
Material Changes and Covenants
The Company has significantly altered its capital structure through the issuance of the Notes and the establishment of the New Term Loan Facility. The Indenture governing the Notes includes restrictive covenants that may limit the Issuer's ability to:
- Incur or guarantee additional indebtedness.
- Create liens.
- Pay dividends or make distributions to stockholders.
- Purchase or redeem capital stock.
- Make investments or sell assets.
- Engage in transactions with affiliates.
Many of these covenants will not be applicable, and subsidiary guarantees may be released, during periods when the Notes hold an investment-grade rating.
Redemption Provisions and Outlook
The filing outlines specific redemption rights for the Notes:
- Make-Whole Redemption: Available prior to November 15, 2027, at 100% of principal plus a make-whole premium.
- Optional Redemption: Up to 10% of the original principal may be redeemed annually prior to November 15, 2027, at 103% of principal.
- Equity Redemption: Up to 40% of the aggregate principal may be redeemed prior to November 15, 2027, using proceeds from certain equity offerings at 106.000% of principal, subject to minimum outstanding balance requirements.
- Post-2027: The Issuer may redeem the Notes at any time on or after November 15, 2027, at prices set forth in the Indenture.
The filing does not provide specific management commentary on future operational outlook, risks beyond the covenants listed, or unusual items.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total debt load increase of $1.5 billion ($500M Notes + $1,000M Term Loan) against the Company's most recent balance sheet.
- Review the full text of the Indenture (Exhibit 4.1) to understand specific financial maintenance covenants and default triggers.
- Confirm the current credit rating of the Notes to determine if investment-grade covenants are currently active.
- Assess the impact of the 6.000% fixed interest rate on future interest expense compared to the variable SOFR-based rate of the Term Loan.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the use of proceeds from these financings.
