As described below under Item 5.02 in greater detail, on April 17, 2020, Spencer Wells resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Board’s Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) effective as of April 17, 2020. Subsequently, on April 22, 2020, the Company received notice from Nasdaq stating that, as a result of Mr. Wells’ resignation, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605, which requires that the Audit Committee be comprised of at least three independent directors. Pursuant to Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq has provided the Company a cure period during which it may restore compliance with Rule 5605, which period ends upon the earlier of (i) the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or (ii) April 17, 2021. Alternatively, if our next annual shareholders’ meeting takes place before October 14, 2020, we will have until October 14, 2020 to regain compliance with Rule 5605.

The Board is actively searching for a qualified individual to replace Mr. Wells as a member of the Audit Committee, and intends to restore the Company’s compliance with Rule 5605 as soon as practicable, and in any event within the applicable cure period.
