LTH: 8-K · material agreement

Life Time Group Holdings' subsidiary Life Time, Inc. entered into the Sixteenth Amendment to its credit agreement on August 12, 2026, refinancing its $985 million term loan facility in full. Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch acts as administrative agent, with ten banks including Deutsche Bank Securities, BofA Securities, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs as arrangers. The amendment cuts the interest rate margin by 0.25% to 1.75% over SOFR, and with interest rate swaps hedging the variable payments, the effective fixed interest rate on the facility is now 5.159%. Loans were issued at par with no original issue discount, and the maturity remains November 5, 2031. This is a cost-optimization rather than new financing: principal and tenor are unchanged, and the move modestly lowers interest expense on a levered balance sheet that also carries $500 million of 6.000% senior secured notes due 2031. A 1.00% soft-call premium applies if the loan is repriced again within six months.
