Corporate Structure
What is an Up-C structure?
Xponential Fitness, Inc.’s corporate structure following the completion of the Company’s initial public offering is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure. An Umbrella Partnership C Corporation (“Up-C”) structure can be used by partnerships and limited liability companies when they undertake an initial public offering of their business. Examples of other public companies that employed an Up-C structure include Bumble, GoDaddy and Planet Fitness.
As summarized by Deloitte, an Up-C structure may provide favorable tax benefits to pre-IPO owners. An Up-C structure allows pre-IPO owners to access the public capital markets while maintaining ownership through a partnership, thus preserving benefits associated with a single level of taxation.
Please see the Company’s prospectus filed with the SEC on 7/26/2021 in connection with our Initial Public Offering, page 18 and onwards, for a more comprehensive discussion of our organizational structure as of immediately following the Company’s IPO.
Capitalization
Please describe the Company’s capital structure and the different share classes.
The Company’s capital structure includes outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Preferred Stock”), as well as Term Loan Debt. For a detailed description of the Company’s capital stock, please refer to Exhibit 4.2 to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Please also refer to the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 8, 2025 for an update on the Company’s most recent amendments to its financing arrangement and its preferred stock repurchase transactions.
Class A Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker symbol “XPOF”.
Class B Common Stock is not publicly listed and is held by certain of the Company’s pre-IPO owners. As part of the Up-C structure, at the time of the Company’s IPO, certain of the Company’s pre-IPO owners were issued a number of shares of Class B common stock in an amount equal to the number of vested LLC Units they held in our operating partnership, Xponential Holdings, LLC. Under Xponential Holdings, LLC’s LLC Agreement, the holders of LLC Units (other than the Company) have the right to require Xponential Holdings LLC to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for, at the Company’s election, newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the volume-weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends, and reclassifications) or the net proceeds from a substantially contemporaneous offering of Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement. Additionally, in the event of a redemption request from a holder of LLC Units, the Company may, at its option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A common stock for LLC Units in lieu of such a redemption. Shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled on a one-for-one basis if the Company, following a redemption request from a holder of LLC Units, redeems or exchanges LLC Units of such holder pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement. The cancellation of Class B Common Stock in exchange for Class A Common Stock is not dilutive to existing shareholders because the Company’s earnings per share calculation takes into account both Class A and Class B Common Stock.
The Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A and Series A-1) was issued in a private financing that closed concurrently with the IPO. The Convertible Preferred Stock pays quarterly cash dividends at a rate of 6.50% per annum. The initial liquidation preference was $1,000 per share and is currently $1,018.75 per share, with a conversion price equal to $14.40 per share. There is both Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock carries voting and certain board designation rights. Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock does not carry such rights, but is convertible into Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at the option of the holder subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
Convertible Preferred Stock Repurchase Transactions and Term Loan Debt Update: On December 8, 2025, the Company entered into a preferred stock repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay in cash to such holders an aggregate of approximately $127.0 million and approximately $1.4 million in accrued and unpaid dividends in exchange for the repurchase of all shares of the then issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Repurchase Transaction”). The Repurchase Transaction closed on December 8, 2025. Following the Repurchase Transaction, no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding.
On December 8, 2025, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Credit Agreement, by and among Xponential Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Xponential Fitness LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, HPS Investment Partners LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders party thereto. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the refinancing transaction under the Credit Agreement, all outstanding loans and other obligations outstanding under its existing financing agreement were repaid and the credit facilities thereunder were terminated.
What are the voting rights associated with the different share classes?
Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share for each share held of record on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally.
Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis, with the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted. Each holder of Series A preferred stock shall vote as a class with the holders of Class A common stock as if they were a single class of securities upon any matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except those matters required by law or that are required to be submitted to a class vote of the Series A preferred stock, in which case the holders of Series A preferred stock only shall vote as a separate class.

If a mandatory redemption occurs due to a change of control event prior to the sixth anniversary of the issue date, the Company would also be required to pay a specified premium upon redemption.
