On April 5, 2022, Tivity Health, Inc. (the “Company”) posted the following FAQ document to its employee Intranet relating to the transaction contemplated by that certain Merger Agreement, dated April 5, 2022, by and among the Company, Titan-Atlas Parent, Inc. and Titan-Atlas Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”):

 

1.

What does this mean for Tivity Health?

 

   

Our mission and vision remains the same, and we will continue to support healthier, happier, more connected lives through our leading fitness and health improvement platform and our physical and integrative medicine solutions.

 

   

Stone Point Capital has deep expertise providing financial and strategic support to management teams.

 

   

We believe their culture and “DNA” are a good match with ours and believe we share similar values that will foster a smooth transition.

 

   

Upon completion of the transaction, which we expect to happen in or prior to the third quarter of 2022, Tivity Health will become a privately held company and we are confident we will be well-positioned to continue to innovate and expand on the healthy, life-changing solutions we provide to members, clients and partners.

 

   

Until then, we will continue to operate as a public company, and it will be business as usual at Tivity Health. We will keep you informed of key developments as we move toward completing the transaction.

 

2.

What does it mean that Tivity Health will now be a privately held company?

 

   

As a privately held company, Tivity Health’s stock will no longer be traded on Nasdaq.

 

   

Since we are no longer a public company, we won’t report quarterly earnings and we won’t disclose financial information to the public.

 

   

As a privately held company, we will be on a level playing field with our primary competitors, all of whom are either privately held or part of a larger organization, meaning they do not have to share detailed financial information and business metrics on a quarterly basis.

 

   

Some of the benefits associated with being a privately held company are that owners are consistent and remain in sole control of their business, focused on the long term.

 

   

This is not new for SilverSneakers, Prime and WHL – prior to being acquired by Healthways, these brands were part of a privately held company.

 

   

This does not change who our customers, members or partners will be or our strategic focus.

 

   

In addition, we believe this will create additional options and flexibility to make the best long-term decisions for the organization.

 

3.

How does this transaction benefit me or impact my job?

 

   

Stone Point Capital approached us because they recognize the value of our world-class team, brands and strategy.

 

   

We expect things to remain “business as usual” with no immediate impact on our day-to-day operations.

 

   

We expect the transaction to be completed in or prior to the third quarter of 2022 and will be sure to update you with any additional developments throughout the process.

 

1


4.

Will there be changes to my benefits or salary?

 

   

We don’t anticipate any changes to your benefits or salary following the transaction. Our compensation and benefit programs, with the exception of LTI (equity grants) are expected to remain the same.

 

   

As is our usual course of business, we will re-evaluate our benefits program during the open enrollment period in late fall for 2023.

 

5.

Will Stone Point Capital keep our existing brands?

 

   

Stone Point Capital has done their diligence and fully appreciates the strength, value and legacy of the SilverSneakers, Prime Fitness and Whole Health Living brands.

 

   

Today’s announcement is part of a transition process that we expect to conclude in or prior to the third quarter of 2022. As of today, we have no indication that Stone Point Capital plans to change our current product mix, but we are committed to transparency as we move through this process.

 

   

We will continue to execute on our strategy and will be well positioned to serve and deliver value for our clients, members and partners.

 

   

That includes continuing to maintain and pursue partnerships and products that will expand on the healthy, life-changing solutions we provide.

 

6.

What do I tell our clients/members/partners?

 

   

We are excited about our transaction with Stone Point Capital and believe it will only better position us to deliver for our valued members, clients and partners.

 

   

Stone Point Capital recognizes the value of our well-known senior fitness and health improvement platform and brands and are committed to investing in our business, which will enable us to continue to innovate and expand on the healthy, life-changing solutions we provide to members, clients and partners.

 

   

Importantly, we are committed to continuing to provide our members, clients and partners with the quality service and solutions they have come to know and love.

 

   

We will be proactively communicating with our clients and partners about this announcement. If you have any questions about whether to reach out to a client or partner on this announcement, please connect with your manager or an EOT member to ensure that we are coordinating outreach

 

   

We will continue to provide updates on our progress in the days and weeks ahead.

 

7.

What should I do if someone from the media or an investor asks about the acquisition?

 

   

Per our usual company policy, please refer any calls from the media to Jill Meyer, jill.meyer@tivityhealth.com and all investor inquiries to Matt Milanovich, matt.milanovich@tivityhealth.com.

 

8.

What happens between now and when the transaction closes?

 

   

There is a small team that is working on the transaction, and for the rest of us, it is business as usual with the same focus on our scorecard goals as we were applying prior to the announcement.

 

   

Until this transaction closes – which we expect to occur in or prior to the third quarter of 2022 – Tivity Health will continue to operate as a public company, and it is business as usual.

 

   

We must all stay focused on providing our clients, partners and members with the quality service and solutions they have come to know and love.

 

2


9.

Does this change remote working and our policy for working where we’re most productive?

 

   

Our workplace policy that we introduced late last year, which enables colleagues to work where they’re most productive – whether on campus or from home – will not change.

 

   

As we have committed from the outset, we are focused on maintaining the well-being of all our Tivity Health colleagues and today’s announcement does not change this.

While the list of risks and uncertainties presented here is, and the discussion of risks and uncertainties to be presented in the proxy statement will be, considered representative, no such list or discussion should be considered a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, and legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the completion of the Merger and/or the company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity.

On April 5, 2022, Richard Ashworth, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tivity Health, Inc. (the “Company”), distributed the following communication to employees of the Company relating to the transaction contemplated by that certain Merger Agreement, dated April 5, 2022, by and among the Company, Titan-Atlas Parent, Inc. and Titan-Atlas Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”):

Subject Line: Our Next Chapter at Tivity Health

Dear Colleagues,

I have some important and exciting news to share with you today. This morning, we announced that Tivity Health has entered into an agreement to be acquired by funds managed by Stone Point Capital, a leading private equity firm. The press release we issued regarding the news is available here [INSERT LINK TO PRESS RELEASE]. I understand that this comes as a surprise, so I’d like to provide some background on how the deal came about, why the Board believes it makes sense for Tivity Health, and why we’re so excited about the future.

Following receipt of an unsolicited proposal from Stone Point Capital, the Board conducted an extensive review of strategic alternatives and engaged with numerous potential acquirers with the assistance of outside advisors. Ultimately, the Board concluded that this transaction with Stone Point is the best path forward for our company.

Stone Point Capital approached us because they recognize the value of SilverSneakers, our in-person and virtual fitness, social engagement and mental enrichment programs, our physical and integrative medicine solutions, and, importantly, our world-class team. You should all be very proud – this transaction is a testament to the tremendous success we have had in empowering adults to live healthier, happier, more connected lives.

In the past two years, we have stabilized the business and reimagined our strategy as a digital platform engagement company. We have successfully navigated the challenges of the pandemic and we are delivering on growth opportunities through the continued innovation of SilverSneakers and our industry-leading network, the success of our digital fitness channels and the launch of non-fitness offerings such as mental enrichment and social connection. I believe partnering with Stone Point Capital will give us a more favorable environment to continue to innovate and expand on the healthy, life-changing solutions we provide to members, clients and partners.

I am excited about the potential this new direction unlocks for us in the years to come. Stone Point Capital has deep expertise providing financial and strategic support to management teams and we believe their culture and “DNA” are a good match with ours. They understand and appreciate our colleagues’ commitment to our mission and vision, and they have assured us that they value the kind of innovation, passion and leadership that we consistently demonstrate at Tivity Health.

Upon completion of the transaction, Tivity Health will become a privately held company and I am confident we will be well-positioned to pursue growth opportunities and further our momentum across our fitness, integrative health solutions and digital health initiatives. I am pleased to share that I will remain President and CEO of Tivity Health, and we will maintain our headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee and our campus location in Chandler, Arizona.

Today’s news is very exciting, but it’s just the first step. The transaction is subject to the receipt of shareholder approval, regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Please remember that until this transaction closes – which we expect to occur in or prior to the third quarter of 2022 – Tivity Health will continue to operate independently, and it is business as usual. We must all stay focused on providing our members, clients and partners with the quality service and solutions they have come to know and love.

I will share more about this news with you during a special Town Hall meeting at 2:00 pm Central Time today. We encourage you to ask questions live at the Town Hall or anonymously through Suggestion Ox (include link). We may not have all of the answers as we’re just beginning this transition, but we will be as transparent as possible as we move through this process. We will keep you informed of key developments as we move toward completing the transaction.

We understand that colleagues have experienced a lot of change over the past few years as we have worked to transform Tivity Health – we appreciate your commitment to each other, our members and clients throughout this process. Today marks an exciting milestone for us and I want to thank you for your hard work and dedication to Tivity Health. Our company would not be in this very exciting position without you.

I look forward to sharing more at our town hall.

Sincerely,

Richard Ashworth

President and Chief Executive Officer, Tivity Health

Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including: (i) the risk that the proposed acquisition of the company (the “Merger”) may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the company’s business and the price of the company common stock; (ii) the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the consummation of the proposed transaction, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the company’s stockholders and the receipt of certain regulatory approvals; (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including in circumstances requiring the company to pay a termination fee; (iv) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transaction on the company’s business relationships, operating results and business generally; (v) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts the company’s current plans and operations; (vi) the company’s ability to retain and hire key personnel in light of the proposed transaction; (vii) risks related to diverting management’s attention from the company’s ongoing business operations; (viii) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction; (ix) the ability of Stone Point to obtain the necessary financing arrangements set forth in the commitment letters received in connection with the Merger; (x) potential litigation relating to the Merger that could be instituted against Stone Point, the company or their respective directors, managers or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; (xi) continued availability of capital and financing and rating agency actions; (xii) certain restrictions during the pendency of the Merger that may impact the company’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (xiii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including but not limited to acts of terrorism, war or hostilities or the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors; (xiv) other risks described in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), such risks and uncertainties described under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and other sections of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022 and subsequent filings; and (xv) those risks and uncertainties that will be described in the proxy statement that will be filed with the SEC (if and when it becomes available) from the sources indicated below. While the list of risks and uncertainties presented here is, and the discussion of risks and uncertainties to be presented in the proxy statement will be, considered representative, no such list or discussion should be considered a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, and legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the completion of the Merger and/or the company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
