On June 6, 2023, Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from Jeff Zwiefel, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, of his intention to retire from the Company after 25 years of service, effective December 31, 2023. Mr. Zwiefel is expected to continue as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company through the end of this year at his current compensation level and will, among other things, continue to be dedicated to elevating the Company’s athletic country club experience and driving the execution of strategy. The Company will determine during the period before his retirement how to handle Mr. Zwiefel’s responsibilities. In connection with Mr. Zwiefel’s retirement, the Company will enter into an Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Zwiefel as well as a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Zwiefel will continue to provide strategic and operational consulting services to the Company following his retirement.

The Company’s Compensation Committee approved each of the Agreement and the Consulting Agreement. Under the Consulting Agreement, it is expected that Mr. Zwiefel will provide a minimum of 1,000 hours of service to the Company during the first two years, and that the Company will pay Mr. Zwiefel at a rate of $400 per hour for his services. As a result of Mr. Zwiefel continuing to provide services to the Company, his outstanding equity-based awards will continue to vest and be exercisable, as applicable, in accordance with and subject to their terms. Additionally, under the Agreement, upon Mr. Zwiefel ceasing to provide services to the Company, his vested stock options at such time (and if, and only if, his services are terminated due to his death or disability, his unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock units, if any, at such time) will continue to be outstanding and exercisable, as applicable, for their respective terms notwithstanding such termination of service. Mr. Zwiefel will also be eligible to receive payment of his annual incentive for 2023 based on actual results, or participate equally with the Company’s other executives if any discretion is exercised by the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. The Company has also agreed to pay the total cost of Mr. Zwiefel’s continued health insurance benefits for eighteen months following his retirement, to pay for his Life Time club membership through March 31, 2027, and to reimburse Mr. Zwiefel for up to $50,000 in coaching and development services used before June 30, 2024. These benefits are contingent upon Mr. Zwiefel entering into and not rescinding the Agreement and complying with certain restrictive covenants, including confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation.
