CHANHASSEN, Minn., June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --?Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. ?("Life Time" or "the Company") today announced that it has closed on its sale-leaseback transaction of three properties for approximately $150 million in gross proceeds. Terms were similar to previous transactions. Additional details were not disclosed.

Additionally, on June 18, 2025, prior to the completion of the sale-leaseback transaction, S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") upgraded the Company's issuer credit rating to 'BB-' from 'B+'. As reasons for the upgrade, S&P cited the Company's strong operating performance ? a result of growth in memberships, dues, member engagement, and demand for in-center offerings ? and reduced leverage and financial sponsor ownership.

Due to this ratings upgrade and the existing 'BB-' issuer rating from Fitch Ratings, Life Time's credit facility margin improved by 25 basis points effective June 19, 2025. In combination with the interest rate swap agreement executed April 8, 2025, the effective interest rate of the Company's term loan facility is now 5.659%.

Erik Weaver, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated: "We're pleased to have completed this sale-leaseback transaction and expect to execute a minimum of $100 million in additional sale-leasebacks over the remainder of 2025. Combined with our reduced cost of debt, this transaction further enhances our ability to advance a robust club pipeline while maintaining our focus on capital efficiency and financial health."

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
