Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 19, 2020, Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") was forced to close approximately 95% of its locations on March 16, 2020 pursuant to state and local government stay-at-home orders enacted in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. By the end of March 2020, the Company was forced to close 100% of its locations. The Company is actively developing plans and procedures that will enable safe use of its facilities when and as its locations are permitted to re-open. Currently, nine of our clubs in Florida are open to the public. Furthermore, in reliance on recent announcements from state and local authorities in California, Connecticut and Washington D.C., the Company plans to re-open up to 26 additional clubs in those jurisdictions in the next several weeks as and when closure orders applicable to gyms and health clubs are lifted.

However, the scope and duration of the interruption to our operations has substantially reduced our cash flow. Moreover, as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company is facing significant debt maturities in the near term. Our 2013 Revolving Credit Facility expires on August 15, 2020 and our 2013 Term Loan Facility is due to mature on November 15, 2020. The Company currently does not have adequate sources of cash to repay the amounts outstanding thereunder. In the event the Company files for bankruptcy, the Company expects that it will need to raise up to approximately $80 million in financing to fund the costs associated with the bankruptcy filing, professional fees in connection with the bankruptcy and to cover operating shortfalls.

In response to these challenges, the Company's board of directors is actively considering all strategic alternatives, including but not limited to negotiating with existing lenders, engaging with potential financing sources to raise capital, or filing for bankruptcy. The Company has also taken prompt action to preserve liquidity during the interruption of its operations, including by terminating employees at clubs that have been forced to close and by ceasing lease payments on its locations.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed "filed" for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.
