BASIC-FIT RECEIVES APPROVAL TO OPERATE STAFFLESS 24/7 CLUBS IN FRANCE

Basic-Fit, Europe's largest and fastest growing fitness chain and franchisor announces today that it has received confirmation from French public authorities that it can operate 24/7 clubs staffless in France under the Article PE 27 (1) revised amendment.

Under this revised amendment, Basic-Fit believes that approximately 200 of its French clubs will immediately qualify for 24/7 unstaffed operations. As of May 2026, Basic-Fit will transition 50 staffed clubs to the unstaffed model, adding a further 150 unstaffed clubs throughout 2026. Based on the specifics of the regulation amendment we expect to achieve annualised cost savings of approximately €10 million. We expect that, over time, further amendments will lead to additional cost savings.

For 100 clubs already in the current 24/7 staffed model that do not satisfy the Article PE (1) criteria, Basic-Fit has elected to keep these clubs staffed. The Company will consider the possibility of a permanent staffing solution. Furthermore, additional clubs will be added to the 24/7 portfolio in due course.

Sports halls and gyms that wish to operate staffless must conform to specific conditions as set out in Article PE 27 (1), which include¹:

• Open access is located on the ground floor of a building only. All other floors must be inaccessible during unstaffed hours
• A remote monitoring device must be installed in all open access areas
• A maximum of 19 people are allowed in a club at any time during unstaffed hours
• Entrance and use of the club must be made via a registration system during unstaffed hours

With this opportunity, Basic-Fit further strengthens its leadership position in a sector where the Company has often been the pioneer through its innovations, becoming a benchmark for the entire industry.

• END -

¹ This is not an exhaustive list of requirements necessary to operate unstaffed 24/7 clubs in France. Those most important to Basic-Fit have been mentioned.
