| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 8, 2025, certain subsidiaries of Xponential Fitness, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Xponential Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), Xponential Fitness LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), HPS Investment Partners LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”). Capitalized terms used in this Item 1.01 but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have provided to the Borrower Closing Date Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to $525 million and Revolving Commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $25 million. The Closing Date Term Loans and Revolving Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum based upon, at the Borrower’s option, the Term SOFR or the Base Rate, plus, in each case, a leverage-based margin.
The proceeds of the Closing Date Term Loans were used in part on the closing date of Credit Agreement that occurred on December 8, 2025 (“Closing Date”) to (i) fund the Closing Date Refinancing, (ii) repurchase the Preferred Stock (as defined below) and (iii) to pay the Transaction Expenses. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans will be used by the Borrower after the closing date of the financing for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026, and subject to customary adjustments, the Borrower will be required to repay (a) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (each a “Principal Payment Date”), an aggregate principal amount equal to (i) 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Closing Date Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date, in respect of the first four (4) Principal Payment Dates (commencing March 31, 2026), (ii) 0.75% of the aggregate principal amount of all Closing Date Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date, in respect of the next four (4) Principal Payment Dates (i.e., commencing on March 31, 2027) and (iii) 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Closing Date Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date, in respect of each Principal Payment Date thereafter (i.e., commencing on March 31, 2028). The Credit Agreement includes provisions requiring customary mandatory prepayments, including, without limitation, arising from the incurrence of new debt or the receipt of proceeds from certain dispositions or casualty events, in each case, subject to customary exceptions for facilities of this type.
The obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by Holdings and certain subsidiaries of Holdings (collectively, the “Guarantors”, and together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”). The obligations of the Loan Parties are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of their assets, subject to customary exceptions.
The Credit Agreement contains various conditions to borrowing and certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, covenants that restrict the ability of Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to incur debt, grant liens, make investments, make restricted payments and dispose of assets. The Credit Agreement includes a financial covenant requiring the Borrower to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio not to exceed a certain threshold (pursuant to the table as set forth in Section 7.12 of the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each Test Period commencing with the Test Period ending March 31, 2026. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.
The Closing Date Term Loans will mature five years after the Closing Date and the Revolving Commitments will terminate five years after the Closing Date.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
| ITEM 1.02 | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the refinancing transaction under the Credit Agreement, all outstanding loans in the amount of approximately $369.2 million and other obligations outstanding under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), by and among, inter alios, the Borrower and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other parties thereto from time to time, were repaid and the credit facilities thereunder were terminated. In connection with the termination of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Borrower paid an exit fee of approximately $7.2 million and a make-whole premium of approximately $10.4 million.
For a description of the material terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement, see Note 8 to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statement included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 10, 2025, which description is incorporated by reference herein.
