Item 1.02.

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 8, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), in connection with the completion of the acquisition of Nutrisystem, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nutrisystem”), by Tivity Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tivity Health”), Nutrisystem paid in full all amounts owing under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated November 6, 2015, among Nutrisystem, as Borrower, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer and a Lender, and other Lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). At the time of payment, the Credit Agreement, other than certain indemnity obligations, and all commitments to extend further credit under the Credit Agreement were terminated.

Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On the Closing Date, Tivity Health completed its acquisition of Nutrisystem. Pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 9, 2018, among Tivity Health, Sweet Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tivity Health (“Merger Sub”), and Nutrisystem, Merger Sub merged with and into Nutrisystem, with Nutrisystem continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Nutrisystem became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tivity Health.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Nutrisystem (“Nutrisystem Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares as to which dissenter’s rights have been properly exercised and certain other excluded shares) was converted into the right to receive (i) $38.75 in cash, without interest, and (ii) 0.2141 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Tivity Health (“Tivity Health Shares”), with cash payable in lieu of fractional Tivity Health Shares (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”).

In connection with the Merger, Tivity Health issued approximately 6.3 million Tivity Health Shares and paid an aggregate of approximately (a) $1.1 billion in cash to former Nutrisystem stockholders in exchange for Nutrisystem Shares and (b) $5.8 million in connection with the cash settlement of options to purchase Nutrisystem Shares. Additionally, in connection with Tivity Health’s assumption of equity awards of Nutrisystem, Tivity Health issued approximately 260,000 time-vesting restricted Tivity Health Shares to former holders of awards of restricted Nutrisystem Shares and approximately 920,000 time-vesting restricted stock units to former holders of awards of Nutrisystem performance-based restricted stock units.

The issuance of Tivity Health Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Tivity Health’s registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333- 229156), which became effective on February 3, 2019 (the “Registration Statement”). The proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement contains additional information about the Merger and incorporates by reference additional information about the Merger from Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by Tivity Health and Nutrisystem.

The foregoing summary of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by Nutrisystem with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 10, 2018, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

In addition, Nutrisystem requested that Nasdaq file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 to delist the Nutrisystem Shares from Nasdaq and deregister the Nutrisystem Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on March 8, 2019. Nutrisystem intends to file a certificate on Form 15 requesting that Nutrisystem’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.
