Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 22, 2018, Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “TSI Holdings”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) by and among the buyer entities as set forth in the APA, which are newly formed subsidiary entities of the Company (the “Buyers”), TW Holdings, Inc. (“Total Woman”), SPAD Holdings, LLC (“SPAD”), TW Glendale, Inc. (“Glendale”), TW Westlake Village, Inc. (“Westlake” and together with Total Woman, SPAD and Glendale, collectively referred to herein as the “Sellers”), and Total Woman Franchising, Inc. Pursuant to the APA, at the closing of the transaction, the Company, through the Buyers, will purchase substantially all of the assets used in the business of the Sellers and assume certain liabilities of the Sellers, as set forth in the APA (the “Acquisition”).

As consideration for the Acquisition, the Sellers will receive a purchase price of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) in cash subject to certain adjustments set forth in the APA (the “Purchase Price”) on the closing date of the Acquisition (the “Closing Date”), $800,000 of which will remain in escrow for one year as an indemnity fund, subject to certain closing adjustments. The Purchase Price excludes the assumption of certain liabilities.

The Acquisition is subject to a number of closing conditions that must be satisfied prior to the Closing Date, as detailed in the APA. The Acquisition is expected to close on or before April 3, 2018, however, there is no assurance that the Acquisition will close. The APA contains customary representations by the Sellers and the Buyers, as well as other customary provisions for a transaction of this nature.

The APA has been included to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Acquisition. The APA is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, the Buyers, the Sellers or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. 

The foregoing description of the APA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the APA, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
