Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 21, 2007, Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press
release (the “Press Release”) announcing that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) granted the Company’s motion to amend its Joint Prepackaged
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization to implement the alternative restructuring proposal from
Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. and Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations
Fund L.P. (the “Amended Plan”) without the need to resolicit votes from creditors. The Bankruptcy
Court also approved the Company’s motion seeking to enter into the previously disclosed Investment
Agreement and Restructuring Support Agreements which implement and support the Amended Plan. In
addition, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Company entering into debtor-in-possession (“DIP”)
financing and exit credit facilities.
A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by
reference. A copy of the Amended Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. All information
contained in the Amended Plan is subject to change, whether as a result of further amendments,
actions of the Bankruptcy Court or third parties, or otherwise.
