Hyatt announced today the completion of its sale of Exhale Enterprises LLC, which includes Exhale, an internationally recognized spa and fitness brand in the U.S. and Caribbean, to E-HALO Holdings, LLC in partnership with Integrity Square, LLC, a leading advisory firm and growth equity investor in the Health, Active Lifestyle & Outdoors sector based in New York City.

The current Exhale management team will be bolstered by industry executives who have strong experience in building, managing and operating upscale, high-energy, high-amenity health clubs. This new group brings significant expertise in multi-unit real estate development and fitness/wellness programming, as well as strong financial acumen to further solidify Exhale's brand position.

Since acquiring the brand in 2017, Hyatt has learned a tremendous amount from the Exhale network, which has greatly informed Hyatt's holistic wellbeing strategy focused on how guests and colleagues feel, fuel and function. Heading into a post-COVID environment, Hyatt and Exhale are continuing their alliance via the World of Hyatt loyalty program, meaning World of Hyatt members can continue to earn and redeem points for in-studio fitness classes and spa therapies at participating Exhale locations.

The term "Hyatt" is used for convenience in this statement to refer to Hyatt Hotels Corporation and/or one or more of its affiliates.
