Going ConcernVoluntary Filing Under Chapter 11

As further discussed below,On June 23, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company has an accelerated maturity payment due on May 16, 2020and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Springing Maturity Date”) that it does not have the ability to pay. Since the Company has not refinanced the $738.7 million of Tranche B-2 Term Loan (the "Tranche B-2 Term Loan), FILO Term Loan (the "FILO Term Loan""RSA") and Revolving Credit Facilitycommenced voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings (the "Revolving Credit Facility"“Chapter 11 Cases”) that will become due on the Springing Maturity Date, management has concluded there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Failure to complete a refinancing or other restructuring, obtain an extension of the Springing Maturity Date as defined in the Credit Agreements, reach an agreement with required lender groups under the Credit Agreements prior to May 16, 2020 or to reach an agreement with the Company's stakeholders on the terms of an out-of-court restructuring would have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and may result in filing a voluntary petition for relief under ChapterTitle 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Code in orderCourt for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). See Note 3. "Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings" for listing of our non-Debtor subsidiaries.

Going Concern

The Company has continued to experience negative same store sales and declining gross profit. The Company has closed underperforming stores under its store optimization strategy and implemented cost reduction measures to help mitigate the effect of these declines and improve its financial position and liquidity. At March 31, 2020,However, our business has been further adversely affected by the Company has substantial indebtedness including $156.4 millionoutbreak of outstanding indebtedness under the Notes issued under that certain Indenture dated as of August 10, 2015, amongcoronavirus, or COVID-19.

The outbreak of novel strain of coronavirus COVID-19 ("COVID-19") caused business disruption in the International segment beginning in January 2020. In late February 2020, the situation escalated as the scope of the COVID-19 outbreak worsened to directly impact areas outside of the Asia-Pacific region, with Europe and the United States recognizing outbreaks of COVID-19.Chapter 11 Proceedings." As of March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company had temporarily closed approximately 30%over 100, or 4%, of the U.S. and Canada company-owned and franchise retail stores as a result oftemporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There is significant uncertainty relating to the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business going forward due to various global macroeconomic, operational and supply chain risks.

Additionally, economic conditions and the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a resultgoing concern. We currently expect that the Company’s cash flows, cash on hand and financing obtained during the course of COVID-19.bankruptcy should provide sufficient liquidity for the Company during the Chapter 11 Cases. However, the significant risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s liquidity and the Chapter 11 Cases raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months from the report release date of August 10, 2020.

The Company wasaccompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in complianceconformity with the debt covenant reporting and compliance obligations under the Credit Agreements as of March 31, 2020. Management does not believeU.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") assuming that the Company has the ability to comply with the financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facility Agreements over the next twelve months given the current circumstances stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company is in the process of reviewing a range of refinancing options to refinance the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. The Company has been working with an independent committee of the Board supported by independent financial and legal advisors to conduct its review and has had a series of discussions with financing sources in the United States and Asia.The Company will continue to explore all options to refinance and restructure its indebtedness. While the Company continues to work through a number of refinancing alternatives to address its upcoming debt maturities, the Company cannot make any assurances regarding the likelihood, certainty or exact timing of any alternatives.

Reporting requirements under both the Tranche B-2 Term Loan and the Credit Agreement require the Company to provide annual audited financial statements accompanied by an opinion of an independent public accountant without a "going concern" or like qualification or exception, or qualification arising out of the scope of the audit (other than a “going concern” statement, explanatory note or like qualification or exception resulting solely from an upcoming maturity date under the Tranche B-2 Term Loan or the Notes). Management believes the Company satisfied this requirement in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2020 (the"2019 10-K"). If the lenders take a contrary position, (a) they could decide to instruct the administrative agent under the Senior Credit Agreements to deliver a written notice thereof to the borrower, and if the alleged default continued uncured for 30 days thereafter it would become an alleged event of default (unless waived by the lenders) and (b) the Company intends to contest such position and any action the lenders may attempt to take as a result thereof. If the lenders were to prevail in any such dispute, the required lenders could instruct the administrative agent to exercise remedies under the Senior Credit Agreements, including accelerating the maturity of the loans, terminating commitments under the revolving credit facility under the ABL Credit Agreement and requiring the posting of cash collateral in respect of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility ($4.5 million at March 31, 2020). If this were to occur, management would enter into discussions with the lenders to waive the default or forebear from the exercise of remedies. Failure to obtain such a waiver, complete a refinancing or other restructuring, obtain an extension of the Springing Maturity Date as defined in the Credit Agreements or to reach an agreement with required lender groups under the Credit Agreements prior to May 16, 2020 or to reach an agreement with the Company's stakeholders on the terms of an out-of-court restructuring would have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and may result in filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in order to implement a restructuring plan.

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2020 are being prepared on a going concern, basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, the realization of assets and the settlementsatisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including the consummation of the Chapter 11 Cases in a timely manner, the ability to reopen its stores as a result of the potential recovery from COVID-19 and its ability to restructure certain leasing arrangements pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company filed a Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") on July 15, 2020 with the Bankruptcy Court which supports our going concern assessment. However, the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases is subject to significant uncertainty and depends upon factors outside of the Company’s control, including actions of the Bankruptcy Court and the Company’s creditors. There can be no assurance that the Company will confirm and consummate the Plan as contemplated by the RSA entered into by the Debtors on June 23, 2020 or complete an alternative plan of reorganization.

Delisting of Common Units from NYSE

On June 30, 2020, the Company’s common stock was suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) as a result of the Debtors’ filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. Effective July 1, 2020, trades in the Company’s common stock are quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol “GNCIQ.” On July 1, 2020, the NYSE filed a Form 25 to delist the Company’s common stock and to remove it from registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

NOTE 2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION  
        The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),SEC, include all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) that management considers necessary to fairly state the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The December 31, 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the

Table of Contents
United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).GAAP. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and FootnotesNotes included in the Company’s audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2020 (the "2019 10-K"). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2020.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these estimates on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including considerations for the impact from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business due to various global macroeconomic, operational and supply chain risks as a result of COVID-19. Actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. Furthermore, while operating as debtors-in-possession ("DIP") under Chapter 11, the Debtors may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business and subject to restrictions of the DIP financing and applicable orders of the Bankruptcy Court, for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Any such actions occurring during the Chapter 11 Cases confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court could materially impact the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Restricted cash comprises current cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $15.7 million of restricted cash related to funds in escrow from the postpetition DIP financing obtained in the course of bankruptcy.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FinancialFASB issued Accounting Standards BoardUpdate ("FASB"ASU") issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-used software. This standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Accordingly, the Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2020, which did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces a new model to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2020, which did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The majority of the Company's domestic store and e-commerce revenues are received as cash at the point of sales. The majority of the Company's franchise and wholesale revenues are billed with varying terms for payment. An allowance for credit losses is established based on the aging of the accounts receivable balances, financial condition of our franchisees and other third-party customers, historical write-off experience and current and future economic and market conditions.

The allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable, as of March 31, 2020 and changes for the three and six months then ended June 30, 2020 are as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
        In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to ASC 740 related to the general approach for intraperiod tax allocation, methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and recognition of deferred taxes when there are investment ownership changes. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and interim period effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates. The new guidance provides clarification on accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill and allocation of consolidated income tax expense to separate financial statements of entities not subject to income tax. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3. REVENUE Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings

On the Petition Date, the Chapter 11 Cases were filed. The Debtors filed certain motions and applications intended to limit the disruption of the Chapter 11 Cases on its operations. Since the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors have continued to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

Chapter 11 Accounting

The Company has applied ASC 852 in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements for periods subsequent to the Petition Date to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the Company's reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses and gains incurred during the Chapter 11 Cases are recorded within Reorganization items, net in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, prepetition obligations that are unsecured or undersecured that may be impacted by the Chapter 11 Cases have been classified on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2020 as liabilities subject to compromise. These liabilities are reported at the amounts the Company currently anticipates will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assume and assign or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a prepetition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors of performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach subject, in the case of the rejection of unexpired leases of real property, to certain caps on damages. Counterparties to such rejected contracts or leases may assert unsecured claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the applicable Debtor’s estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption or assumption and assignment of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance thereunder. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtor in this quarterly report, including where applicable a quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtor is qualified by any overriding rejection rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code.

Leases

Due to the adverse impacts of COVID-19, the Company withheld rent and other occupancy payments beginning in April 2020 for certain of its retail locations as management negotiated with landlords for rent concessions. The Company had unpaid rent and other occupancy payments of approximately $47 million as of June 30, 2020. In the event that withholding these rent payments would constitute an event of default per the lease agreement, management intends to negotiate resolution with the landlord. If such negotiations are not successful, the lease liabilities associated with those leases could become immediately due and payable. We also intend to reject certain lease arrangements throughout the Chapter 11 Cases.

On July 20, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to reject certain unexpired U.S and Canada company-owned and franchise leases, 551 of which were rejected with an effective termination date in June 2020. As a result, for each rejected lease, we have extinguished the related right-of-use asset and lease liability, and recorded the expected allowed claim amount in liabilities subject to compromise ("LSTC") as of June 30, 2020, the effects of which were not material.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company identified a trigger event as it relates to the impairment of certain right-of-use assets. See further discussion in Note 6. "Property, Plant and Equipment, Net." For any leases not rejected by the Bankruptcy Court as of August 10, 2020, we have continued to account for these leases under ASC 842, amortizing the right-of-use assets and evaluating for impairment and/or revisions to the assets' useful lives. We anticipate rejecting additional leases in the course of bankruptcy. As of the Petition Date, we have classified all lease liabilities within LSTC.

Table of Contents
Automatic Stay

Subject to certain specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed most judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to pre-petition claims. Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.

Deconsolidation of GNC Canada

GNC Canada filed parallel proceedings in the Canadian Court. Any significant business decision which would impact our Canadian business requires the approval of both the U.S. and Canadian Courts as they have equal and plenary authority. As joint control by the U.S. and Canadian Courts does not constitute continued common control by the parent, the Company has deconsolidated GNC Canada effective as of the Canadian Petition Date consistent with ASC 810, Consolidation. Additionally, as the Company does not have significant influence over GNC Canada while in bankruptcy, GNC will record and account for its investment in GNC Canada using the cost method under ASC 321, Investments - equity securities, as of the date of deconsolidation. The operating results of GNC Canada are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations through the date of deconsolidation.

We recorded a $5.0 million loss within Reorganization items, net related to the deconsolidation of GNC Canada during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The loss reflects the re-measurement of our net investment in GNC Canada to its estimated fair value of $13.6 million. Included in the loss was the reclassification of $5.6 million of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments related to GNC Canada from Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Subsequent to the deconsolidation, transactions with GNC Canada are no longer eliminated in consolidation and are considered related party transactions. Transactions between GNC and GNC Canada were not material during the 6 days ended June 30, 2020.

Prepetition professional fees

Expenses, gains and losses that are realized or incurred before the Petition Date and in relation to the Chapter 11 Cases are recorded under selling, general and administrative charges on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prepetition professional fees related to the Chapter 11 Cases were $34.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Debtor-In-Possession (“DIP”) Financing

Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreements

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, on June 24, 2020, GNC Corporation and General Nutrition Centers, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrower”) entered into the following DIP financing arrangements (collectively, the "DIP Credit Agreements"):

1. The Borrower entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “DIP Term Loan Credit Agreement”), with GLAS Trust Company, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “TL DIP Lenders”), to obtain a senior secured super-priority DIP term loan (the “DIP Term Loan Facility”), consisting of:

(i) $100 million of new cash (the “New Money DIP”), which term loan shall accumulate interest based on an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 13.00%, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor, and

(ii) $100 million in aggregate principal of the prepetition Tranche B-2 Term Loans which were converted into a separate tranche of DIP Facility loans (the “Rollup Term Loans”) on July 21, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the prepetition Tranche B-2 Term Loans were classified in LSTC.

2. The Borrower entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement (the “DIP FILO Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent,
13
Table of Contents
and the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “FILO DIP Lenders”), to obtain a senior secured super-priority DIP FILO facility (the “DIP Rollover Facility”). The DIP Rollover Facility consists of the refinancing of all $275 million of the Debtors’ prepetition FILO term loan under its ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2018 (as amended, the “ABL Credit Agreement”). The DIP Rollover Facility is subject to interest based on an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 9.00%, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor.

DIP Term Loan Facility

Amounts borrowed against the DIP Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2020 were $30.0 million, of which $15.7 million was held in escrow in accordance with terms of the DIP Term Loan Credit Agreement. The amounts in escrow were recorded as restricted cash within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The TL DIP Lenders shall provide an additional $70 million in new money term loans in addition to the $30 million in new money term loans provided pursuant to the Interim DIP Order and $100 million in amounts outstanding pursuant to the Debtors’ prepetition term loan facility would be “rolled-up” into amounts outstanding under the DIP Term Loan Facility, which term loan shall accumulate interest based on an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 13.00%, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor. The TL DIP Lenders are entitled to receive cash interest payments on the New Money DIP and Rollup Term Loans through the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. The associated fees and expenses under the New Money DIP include (i) a 6.00% backstop premium, (ii) a 4.00% upfront fee and (iii) a 3.00% exit fee.

Borrowings under the DIP Term Loan Facility are secured by (i) a super priority lien on the collateral under the existing term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2018 (the "Term Loan Agreement"), as well as the unencumbered collateral of the Debtors, and (ii) a second priority lien on the existing collateral under the existing ABL Facility, junior to the lien in favor of the lenders thereunder. The DIP Term Loan Credit Agreement has various customary covenants, as well as covenants mandating compliance by the Debtors with a 13-week budget, variance testing and reporting requirements, among others.

The scheduled maturity of the DIP Term Loan Facility will be the earlier of six months from June 24, 2020 or the date of consummation of the Plan approved in the RSA, after which consummation (i) the outstanding New Money DIP amounts under the DIP Term Loan Facility would convert into the Exit FLFO Facility (as defined below), and (ii) the Rollup Term Loans would convert into the Exit FLSO Facility (as defined below), in each case upon the consummation of the Plan and the conclusion of the Chapter 11 Cases.

DIP Rollover Facility

The DIP FILO Credit Agreement amends and restates the ABL Credit Agreement and provided Borrower with approximately $30 million of additional liquidity by (i) removing certain cash dominion blockers effective upon Borrower’s paydown of the revolving credit facility under the ABL Credit Agreement (which paydown Borrower completed immediately upon receipt of interim approval of the DIP Facilities from the Bankruptcy Court), (ii) and adding $17.5 million to the borrowing base.

The scheduled maturity of the DIP Rollover Facility will be the earlier of six months from June 24, 2020 or the date of consummation of the Plan approved in the RSA, after which consummation the outstanding amounts under the DIP Rollover Facility would convert into a new FILO exit facility (the “FILO Exit Facility”) to the DIP FILO Credit Agreement upon the consummation of the Plan. The FILO Exit Facility contemplates a four-year maturity with an initial interest rate of LIBOR plus 9.00% with a 1% LIBOR floor, with the ability to step down to LIBOR plus 7.00% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor if certain conditions are satisfied, with mandatory prepayments required in certain circumstances. Other terms are customary and/or consistent with the DIP Rollover Facility or the ABL Credit Agreement.

The DIP Rollover Facility is subject to any additional fees, or to budget reporting covenants beyond those required under the Term Loan DIP Credit Agreement.

DIP Backstop Commitment Letter

14
Table of Contents
On June 23, 2020, prior to commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries received a DIP Backstop Commitment Letter (the “Commitment Letter”) from the TL DIP Lenders for financing of (i) the New Money DIP and (ii) the Rollup Term Loans.

If the Plan is consummated, the Commitment Letter contemplates that the New Money DIP will convert on a dollar-for-dollar basis into a first-lien-first-out term loan exit facility (the “Exit FLFO Facility”). The Exit FLFO Facility is contemplated to have a 4-year maturity and an interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 10.00%, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor, with the borrowings thereunder secured by the same liens as the borrowings under the DIP Term Loan Facility. The Rollup Term Loans, together with an additional $50 million converted from the amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, will convert on a dollar-for-dollar basis into a first-lien-second-out term loan exit facility (the “Exit FLSO Facility”). The Exit FLSO Facility is contemplated to have a 4.25-year term and an interest rate of, at the option of the borrower, LIBOR plus 9.00% cash interest (with a 1.00% LIBOR floor) plus an additional 3.00% interest paid-in-kind or LIBOR plus 11.50% cash interest (with a 1.00% LIBOR floor), with the borrowings thereunder secured by the same liens as the borrowings under the DIP Term Loan Facility, but with second-out payment priority.

Restructuring Support Agreement

On June 23, 2020, the Debtors entered into the RSA with creditors holding, in the aggregate, approximately (a) 92% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Company’s Tranche B-2 Term Loan (the TL DIP Lenders), and (b) 87% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Company’s ABL FILO Term Loan (the FILO DIP Lenders, and collectively with the TL Creditors, the “Consenting Creditors”).

The RSA incorporates the economic terms agreed to by the parties for the Plan. The RSA also contemplates that a significant majority of the Consenting Creditors have agreed that the Company will pursue on a parallel path basis a going concern sale of the business of the Debtors pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code the highest and best sale offer pursuant to this sale process, the “Sale Transaction”). As further discussed in Note 16. "Subsequent Events," on August 7, 2020, the Company reached an agreement for a stalking horse bid with Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Holding Co., Ltd ("Harbin Buyer") ("the Bid") and the Debtors will seek the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Bid and any related bid protections. Any such Sale Transaction would be executed through an auction process supervised by the Bankruptcy Court at which higher and better bids may be presented.

The DIP financing will provide the Debtors with at least $130 million in liquidity during the Chapter 11 Cases. If the Plan is consummated in exchange for providing the liquidity offered by the DIP Credit Agreements and in consideration for converting $100 million of prepetition Tranche B-2 Term Loans into the Exit FLSO Facility (as defined and described above), the holders of the prepetition Tranche B-2 Term Loans will also own 100% of the common stock in the reorganized Debtors (the “New Common Shares”), subject to dilution by a management incentive plan providing for 10% of the New Common Shares to be awarded to management and employees as well as a proposed equity distribution to general unsecured creditors. If the Plan is approved and the class of unsecured creditors votes to accept the approved Plan, they will have a choice to receive 3-year warrants for 5% of the pro forma equity of the reorganized Debtors or elect to receive their pro rata share of $250,000 in cash.

Pursuant to the RSA, each of the Debtors and Consenting Creditors has made certain customary commitments to each other. The Debtors have agreed to, among other things, use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the restructuring contemplated by the RSA; implement the Plan in a timely manner if the Sale Transaction is not consummated; respond to diligence and status update requests from certain of the Consenting Creditors’ representatives; and satisfy certain other covenants. The Consenting Creditors have committed to support and vote for the Plan and have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or refrain from taking, certain actions in furtherance of such support. Certain of the Consenting Creditors have also agreed to provide debtor-in-possession financing pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreements.

The RSA contains milestones for the progress of the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Milestones”), which include the dates by which the Debtors are required to, among other things, obtain certain orders of the Bankruptcy Court and consummate the Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy. Among other dates set forth in the RSA, the agreement contemplates that the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Interim DIP order no later than three business days after the Petition Date, the Final DIP Order no later than 35 days after the Petition Date and the Disclosure Statement Order no later than 45 days after the Petition Date and that the Company shall have emerged from
15
Table of Contents
bankruptcy no later than 141 days after the Petition Date, subject in each case to an extension or waiver of such dates by the requisite Consenting Creditors under the terms of the RSA. As of August 10, 2020, GNC has achieved or extended all Milestones required up to the report release date of August 10, 2020.

The transactions contemplated by the RSA are subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, among other conditions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the transactions described therein will be consummated.

Plan of Reorganization

On July 15, 2020, the Debtors filed a joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”) and a related disclosure statement (as amended, the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court. On August 7, 2020, the Debtors filed an amended Plan of Reorganization. On August 19, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court will hold a hearing to consider approval of the Disclosure Statement.

Reorganization Items, net

The accounting standards require that the Consolidated Financial Statements, for the periods incurred after the Petition Date as a direct result of the Chapter 11 Cases, distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the Chapter 11 Cases from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses (including professional fees), realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that are realized or incurred during the Chapter 11 Cases are recorded in reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Reorganization items, net represent amounts incurred after the Petition Date as a direct result of the Bankruptcy and are consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020:

Claims and Claims Resolution Process

To the best of our knowledge, after making reasonable efforts, we have notified all of our known current or potential creditors that the Debtors have filed the Chapter 11 Cases. On July 21, 2020 each of the Debtors filed their respective Schedules of Assets and Liabilities (the “Schedules”) and Statements of Financial Affairs (the “Statements”) (collectively, the “Schedules and Statements”) with the Bankruptcy Court. These documents set forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of each of the Debtors, the unexpired leases of the Debtors, including executory contracts to which each of the Debtors is a party, are subject to the qualifications and assumptions included therein, and are subject to amendment or modification as our Chapter 11 Cases proceed. The Schedules and Statements may be subject to further amendment or modification after filing.

Pursuant to the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, creditors who wish to assert prepetition claims against us and whose claim (i) is not listed in the Schedules and Statements or (ii) is listed in the Schedules and Statements as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, must file a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the bar date set by the court. The general bar date for creditors to file claims or contest claim amounts is scheduled for August 28, 2020 and the governmental bar date is scheduled for December 21, 2020 (collectively, the "Bar Dates").
16
Table of Contents

As of August 7, 2020, approximately 763 claims totaling $62.7 million have been filed with the Bankruptcy Court against the Debtors by approximately 633 claimants. We expect additional claims to be filed prior to the Bar Dates. In addition, creditors who have already filed claims may amend or modify their claims in ways we cannot reasonably predict. The amounts of these additional claims and/or amendments or modifications to claims already filed may be material. We anticipate the claims filed against the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases will be numerous. We expect the process of resolving claims filed against the Debtors to be complex and lengthy. We plan to investigate and evaluate all filed claims in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. As part of the process, we will work to resolve differences in amounts scheduled by the Debtors and the amounts claimed by creditors, including through the filing of objections with the Bankruptcy Court where necessary. Accordingly, the ultimate number and amount of claims that will be allowed against the Debtors is not presently known, nor can the ultimate recovery with respect to allowed claims be reasonably estimated.

See Note 12. "Mezzanine Equity," for further details discussing classification of mezzanine equity.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020 includes amounts classified as liabilities subject to compromise, which represent unsecured or undersecured prepetition liabilities. These amounts include the Company's current estimate of known or potential obligations to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and may differ from actual future settlement amounts paid. Differences between liabilities estimated and claims filed, or to be filed, will be investigated and resolved in connection with the claims resolution process. The Company will continue to evaluate these liabilities throughout the Chapter 11 Cases and adjust estimates as necessary. Liabilities subject to compromise consisted of the following:

Total Liabilities subject to compromise$1,153,564 


The principal balance on the Tranche B-2 Term Loan and Notes of $410.8 million and $159.1 million, respectively, has been reclassified from long-term debt to LSTC as of June 30, 2020. See also Note 8. "Debt / Interest Expense" for further details.

Effective as of the Petition Date, we ceased recording interest expense on outstanding prepetition debt subject to compromise. Contractual interest expense represents amounts due under the contractual terms of outstanding prepetition debt classified as LSTC. For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, contractual interest expense of $0.8 million related to LSTC has not been recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accrued interest on the prepetition debt subject to compromise was also reclassified from accrued liabilities to LSTC as of June 30, 2020. We have not made any interest payments on our prepetition debt subject to compromise since the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Employee Retention Program

On July 20, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors' Key Employee Retention Program ("KERP"). The KERP is designed to enhance retention of key employees and provides a maximum award pool of approximately $3.1 million.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has temporarily closed approximately 1,100, or 30%, of the U.S. and Canadaup to 40% company-owned and franchise stores as offrom March 31,through June 2020, and sales trends have significantly declined beginning in the second half of March 2020. Some of the stores temporarily closed may be closed permanently in the future. Due to the store closures, decline in sales trends and estimated adverse impacts on the Company's business as a result of COVID-19, the Company recorded $18.2 million inventory obsolescence reserves during the first quarter ended March 31,of 2020, of which $17.8 million was recorded within the U.S. and Canada segment and $0.4 million was recorded within the Manufacturing and Wholesale segment. As a result of filing the Chapter 11 Cases on June 23, 2020, the Company expects vendors may withhold payment to GNC for certain allowances/credits in order to satisfy certain allowed claims that we have classified within LSTC and therefore recorded $12.6 million in inventory reserves during the three months ended June 30, 2020 within the U.S and Canada segment.

As previously disclosed, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has temporarily closed approximately 1,100, or 30%,up to 40% of the U.S. and Canadaits company-owned and franchise stores as offrom March 31,through June 2020, and sales trends have significantly declined beginning in the second half of March 2020. SomeDuring the first quarter of the stores temporarily closed may be closed permanently in the future. Due2020, due to the store closures, decline in sales trends and estimated adverse impact from COVID-19, the Company recorded $40.3 million of impairment charges and other store closing costs, of which $21.2 million related to right-of-use asset impairments, $11.2 million related to property and equipment impairment and $7.9 million related to other store closing costs, presented as long-lived asset impairments and other store closing costs in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.costs. Refer to Note 15.16. "Subsequent Events" for more information on the uncertainty that exists regarding the impacts of COVID-19.
In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company launched liquidation sales in June 2020 in approximately 500 U.S and Canada company-owned stores which are expected to close during the third quarter of 2020. As a result of the liquidation sales and planned store closures, the Company recorded $20.2 million impairment charges, of which $18.2 million related to right-of use asset impairments and $2.0 million related to property and equipment impairment. Refer to Note 3. "Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings" for more information on the Chapter 11 Cases.

The impairment test was performed at the individual store level, as it is the lowest level in which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the undiscounted estimated cash flows were less than the carrying value of the asset group, an impairment charge was calculated by subtracting the estimated fair value of the asset group from its carrying value. Fair value for property, plant and equipment was estimated using a discounted cash flow method (income approach) utilizing the undiscounted cash flows computed in the first step of the test. Fair value for right-of-use assetassets was estimated using a discounted cash flow method (income approach) based on market participant assumptions.
During the three months ended March 31,first quarter of 2020, the Company sold its owned location in Boston, MA and recorded a $2.1 million pre-tax gain from the sale recognized within other income, net on the Company's Consolidated StatementsStatement of Operations.

NOTE 6.7.  GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Due to the significant decline in the Company's share price in the first quarter of 2020 and current circumstances and estimated adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, management concluded a triggering event occurred in the first quarter requiring an impairment test of its definite-lived intangible assets, indefinite-lived intangible brand name asset and the goodwill of all reporting units. Refer to Note 15. "Subsequent Events" for more information on the uncertainty that exists regarding the impacts of COVID-19. No impairment was recorded for the Company's definite-lived intangible assets.
Brand Name
ManagementIn the first quarter of 2020, management performed an impairment test for its brand intangible asset, and concluded that the estimated fair value under the relief from royalty method (income approach) was less than its carrying value, which resulted in an impairment charge of $111.7 million. The brand name impairment test was performed in totality as it represents a single unit of account and $88.6 million of the charge was allocated to the U.S. and Canada and the remaining amount was allocated to the International segment. Key assumptions included in the estimation of the fair value include the following:

•Future cash flow assumptions - Future cash flow assumptions include retail sales from the Company’s corporate retail store operations, GNC.com retail sales, wholesale partner sales, China JV and HK JV retail sales, and domestic and international franchise retail sales. Sales were based on organic growth and were derived from historical experience and assumptions regarding future growth, including considerations for the impact from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business. The Company's analysis incorporated an assumed period of cash flows of 10 years with a terminal value.

•Royalty rate - The royalty rates utilized consider external market evidence and internal financial metrics including a review of available returns after the consideration of property, plant and equipment, working capital and other intangible assets. The royalty rate used to estimate the fair values of the Company's reporting units was within a range of 0% - 3%.

•Discount rate - The discount rate was based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") for each business supported by the GNC brand name. The components of WACC are the cost of equity and the cost of debt, each of which requires judgment by management to estimate. The Company developed its cost of equity estimate based on perceived risks and predictability of future cash flows. The WACC used to estimate the fair values of the Company's reporting units was within a range of 20% to 22%. Any difference

Table of Contents
between the WACC among reporting units is primarily due to the precision with which management expects to be able to predict the future cash flows of each reporting unit.
NaN impairment was recorded during the second quarter of 2020 for brand name.

Goodwill
Management performed an impairment test of the Company's goodwill. The results of the impairment test indicated no impairments for GNC.com, International Franchise and Wholesale reporting units. However, The Health Store reporting unit had a fair value below its carrying value, which resulted in a $5.5 million goodwill impairment charge, which was recorded within the International segment.
The Company estimated the fair values of its reporting units in the first quarter of 2020 using a discounted cash flow method (income approach) weighted 50% and a guideline company method (market approach) weighted 50%. The key assumptions used under the income approach include the following:
•Future cash flow assumptions - The Company's projections for its reporting units were based on organic growth and were derived from historical experience and assumptions regarding future growth and profitability trends, including considerations for the impact from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business. The Company's analysis incorporated an assumed period of cash flows of 10 years with a terminal value.

In the event that all outstanding amounts under the convertible senior notes exceeding $50$50.0 million are not repaid, refinanced, converted or effectively discharged prior to May 16, 2020, the Springing Maturity Date, the maturity date of the Tranche B-2 Term Loan will becomebecame the Springing Maturity Date, subject to certain adjustments. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $434.8 million, net of discount, outstanding under the Tranche B-2 Term Loan. On February 28, 2018, the Company also entered into the ABL Credit Agreement, consisting of:

Table of Contents
•a $275.0 million asset-based Term Loan Facility advanced on a “first-in, last-out” basis (the "FILO Term Loan") with a maturity date of December 2022 (which maturity date will become May 2020, subject to certain adjustments, should the Springing Maturity Date be triggered); and
•a $100$100.0 million asset-based Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with a maturity date of August 2022 (which maturity date will become May 2020, subject to certain adjustments, should the Springing Maturity Date be triggered). In connection with the transfer of the Nutra manufacturing and Anderson facility net assets to the manufacturing joint venture (the "Manufacturing JV")Manufacturing JV with International Vitamin Corporation ("IVC"),IVC, the Revolving Credit Facility commitment was reduced from $100$100.0 million to $81$81.0 million effective March 2019. As of March 31, 2020, there were $30.0 million borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company had $19.9 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility, after giving effect to $30.0 million borrowing outstanding, $4.5 million utilized to secure letters of credit and a $26.6 million reduction to borrowing ability as a result of decrease in net collateral.

Table of Contents
        The Tranche B-2 Term Loan requires annual aggregate principal payments of at least $43 million and bears interest at a rate of, at the Company's option, LIBOR plus a margin of 8.75% per annum subject to change under certain circumstances (with a minimum and maximum margin of 8.25% and 9.25%, respectively, per annum), or prime plus a margin of 7.75% per annum subject to change under certain circumstances (with a minimum and maximum margin of 7.25% and 8.25%, respectively, per annum). Any mandatory repayments as defined in the credit agreement shall be applied to the remaining annual aggregate principal payments in direct order of maturity. The Company paid $100 million on the Tranche B-2 Term Loan in November 2018 and elected to use the payment to satisfy the scheduled amortization payments on the Term Loan Facility through December 2020. The Term Loan Agreement is secured by a (i) first lien on certain assets of the Company primarily consisting of capital stock issued by General Nutrition Centers, Inc. ("Centers") and its subsidiaries, intellectual property and equipment (“Term Priority Collateral”) and (ii) second lien on certain assets of the Company primarily consisting of inventory and accounts receivable (“ABL Priority Collateral”). The Term Loan Agreement is guaranteed by all material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “U.S. Guarantors”) and by General Nutrition Centres Company,GNC Canada, an unlimited liability company organized under the laws of Nova Scotia (together with the U.S. Guarantors, the “Guarantors”).
        There are no scheduled amortization payments associated with the FILO Term Loan, which bears interest at a rate of, at the Company's option, LIBOR plus a margin of 7.00% per annum subject to decrease under certain circumstances (with a minimum possible interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 6.50% per annum) or prime plus a margin of 6.00% per annum subject to decrease under certain circumstances (with a minimum possible interest rate of prime plus a margin of 5.50% per annum). Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum (subject to an increase of 0.25% or 0.50% based on the amount available to be drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility) or prime plus a margin of 0.50% per annum (subject to an increase of 0.25% or 0.50% based on the amount to be drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility). The Company is also required to pay an annual fee to revolving lenders equal to 1.5% per annum (subject to an increase of 0.25% or 0.50% based on the amount available to be drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility) on outstanding letters of credit and an annual commitment fee of 0.375% on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which is subject to an increase to 0.5% based on the amount available to be drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility. The FILO Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a (i) first lien on ABL Priority Collateral and (ii) second lien on Term Priority Collateral. The FILO Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Guarantors.
        Under the Company’s Credit Agreements, the Company is required to make certain mandatory prepayments, including a requirement to prepay first the Tranche B-2 Term Loan (until repaid in full) and second the FILO Term Loan (until repaid in full, but only if such prepayment is permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement) in each case annually with amounts based on excess cash flow, as defined in the Company’s Credit Facilities, based on the results of the Company for the prior fiscal year. The payment will be 75% of excess cash flow for each such fiscal year, subject to a reduction to 50% based on the attainment of a certain Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio, and will be reduced by certain scheduled debt payment amounts. Based on the Company's results for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company made an excess cash flow payment of $25.9 million in April 2020. The Company made an excess cash flow payment of $9.8 million in April 2019 with respect to the year ending December 31, 2018.
As discussed in Note 3, “Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings,” the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to prepetition debt. All of the Debtors’ prepetition debt excluding those amounts converted into DIP financing, are included in liabilities subject to compromise as of June 30, 2020.

Table of Contents
At March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company's contractual interest rates under the Tranche B-2 Term Loan, the FILO Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility were 10.1%, 8.0% and 4.0%, respectively, which consist of LIBOR plus the applicable margin rate and in the case of Revolving Credit Facility at Prime rate plus the applicable margin rate. At December 31, 2019, the interest rates under the Tranche B-2 Term Loan and the FILO Term Loan were 10.6%, and 8.8%, respectively.
        The Company’s Credit Facilities contain customary covenants, including limitations on the ability of GNC Corporation, Centers, and Centers' subsidiariesthe Borrower to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens on their assets, enter into mergers or liquidations, sell assets, make investments or acquisitions, make optional payments in respect of, or modify, certain other debt instruments, pay dividends or other payments on capital stock, or enter into arrangements that restrict their ability to pay dividends or grant liens. Despite these limitations, the Company has the ability to discharge the liabilities of GNC Holdings, Inc. in the ordinary course of business through a variety of alternatives, including a restricted payment basket, a junior lien debt incurrence basket, and repayment of intercompany debt.
 In addition, the Term Loan Agreement requires compliance, as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, with a maximum Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio currently set at 4.25 to 1.00. If the Company’s availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the borrowing base

Given current circumstances aroundour Form 10-Q for the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed further in Note 15, "Subsequent Events", there can be no assurances as ourquarter ended March 31, 2020, we determined that we did not have the ability to remain in compliance withpay the financial covenantsaccelerated maturity payment due on the Springing Maturity Date and therefore obtained an extension for the accelerated maturity payment to June 30, 2020. On the Petition Date, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated obligations under the Seniorfollowing debt instruments and agreements:
•the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2018 (as amended), among the Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto with respect to approximately $410.8 million of borrowings outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon;

•the indenture, dated August 10, 2015, by and among the Company, as issuer, certain other subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, and BNY Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as the trustee with respect to an aggregate principal amount of approximately $157.6 million of 1.5% convertible senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the "Indenture"). 
        As of March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company maintains $159.1 million in principal amount of its 1.5% convertible Notes.Notes outstanding. The Notes, classified within LSTC at June 30, 2020 and debt at December 31, 2019, consist of the following components:

As mentioned in Note 1, "Nature of Business," substantial doubt exists concerning the Company's ability to reduce the outstanding balance on the Notes to below $50.0 million. Given this, if we cannot reduce the outstanding balance under the Notes prior to May 16, 2020, the Springing Maturity Date, the Tranche B-2 Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Facility and the FILO Term Loan maturity will accelerate. While the Company continues to work through a number of refinancing alternatives to address its upcoming debt maturities, the Company cannot make any assurances regarding the likelihood, certainty or exact timing of any alternatives. As of March 31, 2020, all debt has been reclassified to current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company accelerated the amortization of original issuance discount and deferred financing fees for the Tranche B-2 Term Loan, FILO Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility of $12.4 million to the Springing Maturity Date.
Interest Rate Swaps
        On June 13, 2018, the Company entered into 2 interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $275 million and $225 million to limit the exposure of its variable interest rate debt by effectively converting it to a fixed interest rate. The Company receives payments based on the one-month LIBOR and makes payments based on a fixed rate. The Company receives payments with a floor of 0.00% and 0.75%, respectively, on the $275 million and $225

million interest rate swaps, which aligns with the related debt instruments. The interest rate swap agreements had an effective date of June 29, 2018. The $225 million interest rate swap expires on February 28, 2021, and the $275 million interest rate swap expires on June 30, 2021. The notional amount of the $225 million interest rate swap has scheduled decreases to $175 million on June 30, 2019, $125 million on June 30, 2020 and $75 million on December 31, 2020. The Company designated these instruments as cash flow hedges deemed effective upon initiation. The interest rate swaps are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. When the cash flow hedges are deemed effective, changes in fair value are recorded within other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations as interest expense in the period in which the underlying transaction affects earnings.

        As mentioned above, if the Company cannotCompany's expectation was that it could not reduce the outstanding balance on the Notes to below $50 million before the Springing Maturity date, which would result in acceleration of the maturity date of the Tranche B-2 and the FILO Term Loan will accelerate. Management does not expect to have sufficient cash flows from operations to repay the indebtedness before the Springing Maturity date.Loan. As such, the Company deemed the cash flow hedges as ineffective as the forecasted hedging transactions willwere not expected to occur by the end of the originally specified time period. The Company reclassified a $10.8 million pre-tax loss previously deferred within accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

In connection with the closing of the debtor-in-possession financing, the Company agreed to settle and terminate the outstanding swap agreements for $9.8 million on June 29, 2020, of which $9.0 million was classified in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as cash flows from investing activities for the settlement of the liability and $0.8 million classified as cash flows from operating activities for settlement of the interest.

NOTE 8.9. EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

        The Company's interests in the Manufacturing, HK and China joint ventures, which are Non-Debtors as discussed in Note 3. "Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings," are accounted for as equity method investments due to the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over management decisions of the joint ventures. Under the equity method, the Company's share of profits and losses from the joint ventures is recorded within income from equity method investments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The following table provides a reconciliation of equity method investments on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets:

In February 2019, the Company contributed its China business in exchange for 35% ownership of each of the formed joint ventures with Harbin, the HK JV and China JV. The HK JV includes the operation of the cross-border China e-commerce business, and has an exclusive right to use the Company’s trademarks to manufacture and distribute the Company’s products in China (excluding Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau) via e-commerce channels. The China JV is a retail-focused joint venture to operate GNC's brick-and-mortar retail business in China and it will have an exclusive right to use the Company's trademarks to manufacture and distribute the Company's products in China (excluding Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau) via retail stores and pharmacies. The HK JV closed in February 2019 and the Company anticipates completing the formation of a second, retail-focused joint venture located in China JV agreement is expected to be completed(the “China JV”) with Harbin in the second quarterhalf of 2020, following the satisfaction of certain routine regulatory and legal requirements.
        In March 2019, the Company entered into a strategic joint venture with IVC regarding the Company's manufacturing business. The Manufacturing JV is responsible for the manufacturing of the products previously produced by the Company at the Nutra manufacturing facility. The Company received $99.2 million from IVC and contributed the net assets of the Nutra manufacturing and Anderson facilities in exchange for an initial 43% equity interest in the Manufacturing JV. In addition, the Company made a capital contribution of $10.7 million to the Manufacturing JV to fund its share of short-term working capital needs. Under the terms of the agreement, IVC has the ability to pay an additional $75.0 million over a four year period from the effective date of the transaction as IVC's ownership of the joint venture increases to 100%. The subsequent purchase price for each year is $18.8 million, adjusted up or down based on the the Company's future purchases from the Manufacturing JV. The Company received the first subsequent purchase price of $15.6 million during the first quarter of 2020. As a result, the Company's ownership of the Manufacturing JV decreased to 32% in March 2020.
Gain (loss) from the net asset exchange
In connection with the formation of the joint ventures effective in the first quarter of 2019, the Company deconsolidated its China business and its Nutra manufacturing business which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $5.8 million and loss of $27.1 million, respectively, recorded within loss on net asset exchange for the formation of the joint ventures on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The $5.8 million gain from the Harbin transaction was calculated based on the difference between the fair value of the 35% equity interest in the HK JV and China JV, less the carrying value of the contributed China business, including $2.4 million of cash, and third-party closing fees. The $27.1 million loss from the Manufacturing JV transaction was calculated based on the fair value of the 43% equity interest retained in the Manufacturing JV and the $101 million in cash received, less a $1.8 million working capital purchase price adjustment in the second quarter of 2019, less the carrying value of the contributed Nutra and Anderson facilities and third-party closing fees.
As mentioned above, the Company received $15.6 million from IVC in connection with the subsequent purchase of the ownership of the Manufacturing JV in the first quarter of 2020, which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $3.1 million on net asset exchange calculated based on the difference between the cash receipt and the purchase price of $18.8 million. The loss was recorded in (loss) income from equity method investment within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a $1.7 million purchase price adjustment related to the Harbin transaction, which was recorded as a loss on net asset exchange within the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
Due to the current and estimated adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company's store closures, management expects a decrease in future purchases from the Manufacturing JV resulting in a decline in the value of its equity method investment in the Manufacturing JV. The decline in value was determined to be other-than-temporary which required the equity method investment to be written down to its fair value. The Company recognized $35.8 million other-than-temporary impairment related to its equity method investment in the Manufacturing JV, which was recorded within (loss) income from equity method investment on the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2020. This impairment charge was derived using Level 3 inputs and was primarily driven by the projected future purchase price of the equity interest in the Manufacturing JV from IVC under the terms of the agreement. As a result of the impairment, the carrying amount of the Company's equity method investment in the Manufacturing JV was $35.8 million less than its share of underlying equity in net assets as of March 31,June 30, 2020. No impairment triggers were identified as it relates to our equity method investments as of June 30, 2020.

NOTE 9.10.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
        Accounting Standards CodificationASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that marketplace participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 — observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 — observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, other inputs that are observable, or can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level 3 — unobservable inputs for which there are little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
        The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the Revolving Credit Facility approximate their respective fair values. Based on the interest rates currently available and their underlying risk, the carrying value of franchise notes receivable recorded in other long-term assets approximates its fair value.

As a result of the Debtors filing for relief under Chapter 11 as further discussed in Note 3. "Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings," GNC’s prepetition debt, except for the FILO Term Loan which rolled into the DIP ABL FILO Facility, is classified as liabilities subject to compromise as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the estimated carrying amount and fair value of GNC’s DIP Term Loan is $275.0 million and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of debt instruments classified as Level 2 instruments are valued using market prices we obtain from external third parties.
As described in Note 5,6. "Property, Plant and Equipment, Net," and Note 6,7. "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net," the Company recorded long-lived asset impairments during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020. This resulted in the following assets being measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs:
•the indefinite-lived brand name intangible asset at March 31,June 30, 2020;
•goodwill at March 31,June 30, 2020 for the Health Store reporting unit;
•property and equipment and right-of-use assets at certain of the Company's stores at March 31,June 30, 2020;
•equity method investment in the Manufacturing JV at March 31,June 30, 2020.

NOTE 10.11.  CONTINGENCIES
On June 23, 2020, the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases seeking relief under the Bankruptcy Code. The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed all of the proceedings and actions against the Debtors. See Note 3. "Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings" for a description of the Chapter 11 Cases.
        The Company is engaged in various legal actions, claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including claims related to breach of contracts, product liability matters, intellectual property matters and employment-related matters resulting from the Company's business activities.
        The Company's contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties, including for each such contingency the following, among other factors: (i) the procedural status of the case; (ii) whether the case has or may be certified as a class action suit; (iii) the outcome of preliminary motions; (iv) the impact of discovery; (v) whether there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) whether the proceedings involve a large number of parties and/or parties and claims in multiple jurisdictions or jurisdictions in which the relevant laws are complex or unclear; (vii) the extent of potential damages, which are often unspecified or indeterminate; and (viii) the status of

Table of Contents
settlement discussions, if any, and the settlement posture of the parties. Consequently, except as otherwise noted below with regard to a particular matter, the Company cannot predict with any reasonable certainty the timing or outcome of the legal matters described below, and the Company is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss for such matters. If the Company ultimately is required to make any payments in connection with an adverse outcome in any of the matters discussed below, it is possible that it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
        As a manufacturer, prior to the formation of the Manufacturing JV, and retailer of nutritional supplements and other consumer products that are ingested by consumers or applied to their bodies, the Company has been and is currently subjected to various product liability claims. Although the effects of these claims to date have not been material to the Company, it is possible that current and future product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company currently maintains product liability insurance with a deductible/retention of $4.0 million per claim with an aggregate cap on retained loss of $10.0 million per policy year. GNC was granted an automatic stay order by the Bankruptcy Court continuing the provisions under existing insurance arrangements. The Company typically seeks and has obtained contractual indemnification from most parties that supply raw materials for its products or that manufacture or market products it sells. The Company also typically seeks to be added, and has been added, as an additional insured under most of such parties' insurance policies. However, any such indemnification or insurance is limited by its terms and any such indemnification, as a practical matter, is limited to the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party and its insurer, and the absence of significant defenses by the insurers. Consequently, the Company may incur material product liability claims, which could increase its costs and adversely affect its reputation, revenue and operating income.
Litigation
        DMAA / Aegeline Claims.  Prior to December 2013, the Company sold products manufactured by third parties that contained derivatives from geranium known as 1.3-dimethylpentylamine/ dimethylamylamine/ 13-dimethylamylamine, or "DMAA," which were recalled from the Company's stores in November 2013, and/or Aegeline, a compound extracted from bael trees. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company was named in 27 personal injury lawsuits involving products containing DMAA and/or Aegeline. On July 22, 2020, all matters pending in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii were dismissed.
        TheseThe remaining matters are currently stayed pending final resolution.
        The Company is contractually entitled to indemnification by its third-party vendors with regard to these matters, although the Company’s ability to obtain full recovery in respect of any such claims against it is dependent upon the creditworthiness of the vendors and/or their insurance coverage and the absence of any significant defenses available to their insurers.

California Wage and Break Claims. On February 29, 2012, former Senior Store Manager, Elizabeth Naranjo, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, sued General Nutrition Corporation in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Alameda. The complaint contains 8 causes of action, alleging, among other matters, meal, rest break and overtime violations for which indeterminate money damages for wages, penalties, interest, and legal fees are sought. In June 2018, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Company's Motion for Decertification. In August 2018, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the class action claims alleging overtime violations. In November 2019, GNC filed a renewed Motion for Decertification, which was denied by the Court in January 2020. TrialThere is no trial date currently scheduled for July 2020.scheduled. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, an immaterial liability has been accrued in the accompanying financial statements. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the remaining class action claims asserted in this action.
Pennsylvania Fluctuating Workweek. On September 18, 2013, Tawny Chevalier and Andrew Hiller commenced a class action in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Plaintiff asserted a claim against the Company for a purported violation of the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act ("PMWA"), challenging the Company's utilization of the "fluctuating workweek" method to calculate overtime compensation, on behalf of all employees who worked for the Company in Pennsylvania and who were paid according to the fluctuating workweek method. In October 2014, the Court entered an order holding that the use of the fluctuating workweek method violated the PMWA. In September 2016, the Court entered judgment in favor of Plaintiffs and the class in an immaterial amount, which has been recorded as a charge in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Plaintiffs subsequently filed a petition for an award of attorney's fees, costs and incentive payment. The court awarded an immaterial amount in legal fees. The Company appealed the adverse judgment and the award of attorney's fees. On December 22, 2017, the Pennsylvania Superior Court held that the Company correctly determined the "regular rate" by dividing weekly compensation by all hours worked (rather than 40), but held that
33
Table of Contents
the regular rate must be multiplied by 1.5 (rather than 0.5) to determine the amount of overtime owed. Taking accumulated interest into account, the net result of the Superior Court's decision was to reduce the Company's liability by an immaterial amount, which has been reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company filed a petition for appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on January 22, 2018. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court accepted the Company's petition for appeal and the Company filed its appellant’s brief on August 27, 2018. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in favor of Plaintiffs. The case has been remanded to the trial court for final resolution.
Oregon Attorney General. On October 22, 2015, the Attorney General for the State of Oregon sued the Company in Multnomah County Circuit Court for alleged violations of Oregon’s Unlawful Trade Practices Act, in connection with its sale in Oregon of certain third-party products. The Company is vigorously defending itself against these allegations. Along with its Amended Answer and Affirmative Defenses, the Company filed a counterclaim for declaratory relief, asking the court to make certain rulings in favor of the Company, and adding USPlabs, LLC and SK Laboratories as counterclaim defendants.  In March 2018, the Oregon Attorney General filed a motion for summary judgment relating to its first claim for relief, which the Company contested.  The Company filed a cross motion for summary judgment on the first claim for relief, which the Oregon Attorney General contested. Following oral argument in August 2018, the Court denied the State’s motion for summary judgment and granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion for summary judgment. The parties are in the process of exchanging discovery. TrialThere is no trial date currently scheduled to begin in September 2020.scheduled.
 As any losses that may arise from this matter are not probable or reasonably estimable at this time, 0 liability has been accrued in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Moreover, the Company does not anticipate that any such losses are likely to have a material impact on the Company, its business or results of operations. The Company is contractually entitled to indemnification and defense by its third-party vendors. Ultimately, however, the Company's ability to obtain full recovery in respect of any such claims against it is dependent upon the creditworthiness of its vendors and/or their insurance coverage and the absence of any significant defenses available to their insurers.
E-Commerce Pricing Matters.  In April 2016, Jenna Kaskorkis, et al. filed a complaint against General Nutrition Centers, Inc. followed by similar cases brought forth by Ashley Gennock in May 2016 and Kenneth Harrison in December 2016.  Plaintiffs allege that the Company's promotional pricing on its website was misleading and did not fairly represent promotions based on average retail prices over a trended period of time being consistent with prices advertised as promotional.  A tentative agreement was reached in the third quarter of 2017 on many of the key terms of a settlement. In December 2019, the Court approved the settlement agreement. The Company currently expects any settlement to be in a form that does not require the recording of a contingent liability.

Government Regulation
        In November 2013, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") for information related to its investigation of a third party product vendor, USPlabs, LLC. The Company fully cooperated with the investigation of the vendor and the related products, all of which were discontinued in 2013. In December 2016, the Company reached agreement with the DOJ in connection with the Company's cooperation, which agreement acknowledges the Company relied on the representations and written guarantees of USPlabs and the Company's representation that it did not knowingly sell products not in compliance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the "FDCA"). Under the agreement, which included an immaterial payment to the federal government, the Company will take a number of actions to broaden industry-wide knowledge of prohibited ingredients and improve compliance by vendors of third party products. These actions are in keeping with the leadership role the Company has taken in setting industry quality and compliance standards, and the Company's commitment over the course of the agreement (60 months) to support a combination of its own and the industry's initiatives. Some of these actions include maintaining and continuously updating a list of restricted ingredients that will be prohibited from inclusion in any products that are sold by the Company.  Vendors selling products to the Company for the sale of such products by the Company will be required to warrant that the products sold do not contain any of these restricted ingredients.  In addition, the Company will develop and maintain a list of ingredients that the Company believes comply with the applicable provisions of the FDCA.       
Environmental Compliance

        As part of soil and groundwater remediation conducted at the Nutra manufacturing facility pursuant to an investigation conducted in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (the "DHEC"), the Company completed additional investigations with the DHEC's approval, including the installation and operation of a pilot vapor extraction system under a portion of the facility in the second half of 2016, which was an immaterial cost to the Company. After an initial monitoring period, in October of 2017 the DHEC approved a work
34
Table of Contents
plan for extended monitoring of such system and the contamination into 2021. While the Company contributed the net assets of the Nutra manufacturing and Anderson facilities to the Manufacturing JV in March of 2019 (refer to Note 89. “Equity Method Investments” for additional information), we retained certain liabilities, including historical environmental liabilities, related to the facilities. As such, the Company and the Manufacturing JV will continue to consult with the DHEC on the next steps in the work after their review of the results of the extended monitoring is complete. At this stage of the investigation, however, it is not possible to estimate the timing and extent of any additional remedial action that may be required, the ultimate cost of remediation, or the amount of our potential liability. Therefore, no liability has been recorded in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

        In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign environmental and health and safety laws and regulations governing its operations, including the handling, transportation and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous substances and wastes, as well as emissions and discharges from its operations into the environment, including discharges to air, surface water and groundwater. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could result in costs for remedial actions, penalties or the imposition of other liabilities, including certain historic liabilities retained by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Manufacturing JV. New laws, changes in existing laws or the interpretation thereof, or the development of new facts or changes in their processes could also cause the Company to incur additional capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with environmental laws and regulations and environmental permits. The Company is also subject to laws and regulations that impose liability and cleanup responsibility for releases of hazardous substances into the environment without regard to fault or knowledge about the condition or action causing the liability. Under certain of these laws and regulations, such liabilities can be imposed for cleanup of previously owned or operated properties, or for properties to which substances or wastes that were sent in connection with current or former operations at its facilities.

        From time to time, the Company has incurred costs and obligations for correcting environmental and health and safety noncompliance matters and for remediation at or relating to certain of the Company's current or former properties or properties at which the Company's waste has been disposed. However, compliance with the provisions of national, state and local environmental laws and regulations has not had a material effect upon the Company's capital expenditures, earnings, financial position, liquidity or competitive position. The Company believes it has complied with, and is currently complying with, its environmental obligations pursuant to environmental and health and safety laws and regulations and that any liabilities for noncompliance will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial performance or cash flows. However, it is difficult to predict future liabilities and obligations, which could be material.

        As of March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company had issued a total of 299,950 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock was recorded as Mezzanine Equity, net of issuance cost, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets because the shares are redeemable at the option of the holder if a fundamental change occurs, which includes change in control or delisting, where the common stock ceases to be listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, (a "Fundamental Change"). The guaranteed Second Issuance and Third Issuance were considered forward contracts that represented an obligation to both parties until the shares were issued. The forward contracts were recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018, with any changes in fair value recorded in earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded a $16.8 million loss on forward contracts for the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock during the first quarter of 2019. Upon issuance of the shares associated with the forward contracts, the carrying value of the forward contracts were recorded to Mezzanine Equity.

NOTE 13.14.  SEGMENTS
The Company aggregates its operating segments into 3 reportable segments, which include U.S. and Canada (until GNC Canada was deconsolidated on June 24, 2020), International and Manufacturing / Wholesale. Warehousing and distribution costs have been allocated to each reportable segment based on estimated utilization and benefit. The Company's chief operating decision maker (its chief executive officer) evaluates segment operating results based primarily on operating income. Operating income of each reportable segment excludes certain items that are managed at the consolidated level, such as corporate costs. The Manufacturing / Wholesale segment, prior to the formation of the Manufacturing JV, manufactured and sold product to the U.S. and Canada and International segments at cost with a markup, which was eliminated at consolidation.
DueIn connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company launched liquidation sales in June 2020 in approximately 500 U.S and Canada company-owned stores which are expected to close during the currentthird quarter of 2020. As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, GNC recorded $20.2 million impairment charges within U.S. and Canada and recorded $12.6 million inventory reserves within U.S. and Canada as the Company expects vendors may withhold payment to GNC for certain allowances/credits in order to satisfy certain allowed claims that we have classified within LSTC. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to the estimated adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $157.5$177.7 million long-lived asset impairments and other store closing costs ($128.9149.1 million within U.S. and Canada; $28.6 million within International), $22.8 million reserves related to inventory obsolescence and vendor allowances ($22.4 million within U.S. and Canada; $0.4 million within Manufacturing / Wholesale), and $8.7 million allowance for doubtful accounts ($7.9 million within U.S. and Canada; $0.8 million within International).

NOTE 14.15.  INCOME TAXES

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES" Act) signed into law on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, provides additional avenues of financial relief and assistance to individuals and businesses, including tax relief. The CARES Act includes, among other items, provisions relating to payroll tax credits and deferrals, net operating loss carry back periods, alternative minimum tax credits, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act also temporarily and retroactively increases the limitation on the deductibility of interest expense under Internal Revenue Code Section 163(j)(1) from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of the CARES Act.

The Company recognized $53.0$11.4 million of income tax benefit during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 compared with $2.0$13.0 million of income tax expense in the prior year quarter. The Company's income tax benefit/expense is based on income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunitiesthe available in the jurisdictions in which it operates.carryback of net operating losses. The Company’s year-to-date tax provision is calculated by applying the most recent annualized effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax ordinary income. The Company’s 2020 annual effective tax rate was impacted by a $27.6$40.8 million partial valuation allowance for attributes expected to be generated in 2020 that may not be realizable, the other-than-temporary impairment of the Manufacturing JV, and the benefit of the federal tax rate differential related to federal net operating losses generated during the current year that are expected to be carried back to prior years at a 35% rate. The 2019 effective tax rate was significantly impacted by a gain for tax purposes resulting from the transfer of the Nutra manufacturing net assets to the Manufacturing JV and the establishment of a partial valuation allowance for attributes generated in the 2019 year that may not be realizable. The tax impacts of unusual or infrequent items are recorded discretely in the interim period in which they occur. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company discretely recorded a permanent $4.8 million benefit related to the release of valuation allowances on the Federal interest expense limitation generated in 2019, resulting from the passage of the CARES Act which retroactively changed the 2019 Federal interest expense limitation from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income.

During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2019, as further discussed in Note 1,1. "Nature of Business," management concluded that there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management considered this in concluding that certain deferred tax assets were no longer more likely than not realizable. As a result, increaseincreases in valuation allowance of $27.6$40.8 million and $27.1 million on the Company’s deferred tax assets were recorded as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which related principally to Federal deferred tax assets, state NOL carryforwards, and other state tax attributes. These increases were partially offset by valuation allowance decreases of $4.8 million as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company’s deferred tax assets of $26.5 million as of June 30, 2020 are considered realizable, as the majority of the deferred tax assets are related to federal net operating losses generated in the current year that are expected to be carried back to prior years at a 35% federal income tax rate based on the new CARES Act legislation.
        At March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $10.8$11.6 million and $10.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, excluding interest and penalties, which if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company accrued $2.8 million at March 31,June 30, 2020 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2019, for potential interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to the ultimate settlement of uncertain tax positions, amounts previously accrued will be reversed as a reduction to income tax expense.
        Holdings files a consolidated federal tax return and various consolidated and separate tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the state, local and international jurisdictions in which it and its subsidiaries operate. The statutes of limitation for the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns are closed for years through 2013. The Company has various state and local jurisdiction tax years open to examination (the earliest open period is generally 2011).

NOTE 15.16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

COVID-19
The Company is closely monitoring the current and future potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it will impact our customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. The Company incurred significant disruptions during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 from COVID-19, and the Company's estimates on the future impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company's financial position and operating results is subject to numerous uncertainties.

These uncertainties include the severity of the virus, the duration of the outbreak, governmental, business or other actions (which could include limitations on our operations), impacts on the Company's supply chain, the effect on customer

Table of Contents
demand, store closures or changes to our operations. The health of the Company's workforce, and the ability to meet staffing needs in stores, distribution facilities, wholesale operations and other critical functions cannot be predicted and is vital to our operations. Further, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets, consumer spending as well as other unanticipated consequences remain unknown. As of May 6,August 5, 2020, approximately 1,300,the Company had less than 100, or 40%3%, of the U.S. and Canada company-owned and franchise retail stores were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, the Company cannot predict with certainty the impact that COVID-19 will have on its customers, vendors, suppliers and other business partners; however, any material effect on these parties could adversely impact the Company. The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, and the Company is actively managing its response in collaboration with customers, government officials, team members and business partners and assessing potential impacts to its financial position and operating results, as well as adverse developments in the business.

DueStalking Horse Agreement

On August 7, 2020, the Debtors entered into a Stalking Horse Agreement (the “Stalking Horse Agreement”) with Harbin Buyer.Pursuant to the adverse impacts of COVID-19, the Company withheld rent and other occupancy payments beginning in April 2020 for certain of its retail locations as management negotiates with landlords for rent concessions. The Company withheld rent and other occupancy payments of approximately $19 million in April 2020 and approximately $16 million in May 2020. In the event that withholding these rent payments would constitute an event of default per the lease agreement, management intends to negotiate resolution with the landlord. If such negotiations are not successful, the lease liabilities associated with those leases could become immediately due and payable. The Company has elected FASB's modification guidance to account for rent concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will not apply the lease modification guidance under ASC 842 to rent concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract. If other terms of the lease are changedStalking Horse Agreement, the Debtors have agreed to sell substantially all of their assets (the “Assets,” and such sale, the “Sale”) to Harbin Buyer, and Harbin Buyer has agreed to assume from the Debtors certain specified liabilities as further set forth in the Stalking Horse Agreement (the “Assumed Liabilities”). The Stalking Horse Agreement contemplates that the Company will form (a) a new Delaware limited liability company as a wholly owned subsidiary (“GNC Newco”) and (b) a new Nova Scotia unlimited liability company as a wholly owned subsidiary of GNC Newco (“GNC Canada Newco”).At the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Stalking Horse Agreement, (i) the Debtors will transfer all of the Assets and Assumed Liabilities to GNC Newco (other than those Assets and Assumed Liabilities in Canada, which will be transferred to GNC Canada Newco), (ii) GNC Newco will redeem and cancel all of the issued and outstanding equity capital of GNC Newco held by the Company or renegotiatedits affiliates, and (iii) GNC Newco will issue all of the equity capital of GNC Newco to Harbin Buyer or its designated affiliate, such that, following such issuance, Harbin Buyer or its designated affiliate (as applicable) will hold 100% of the issued and outstanding equity capital of GNC Newco.

The purchase price under the Stalking Horse Agreement will comprise (a) indebtedness under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (as defined in connectionthe Stalking Horse Agreement) in a principal amount equal to $210.0 million, subject to adjustment as provided therein, (b) the payment of an amount in cash equal to $550.0 million, subject to adjustment as provided therein, (c) the issuance of up to $10.0 million in convertible junior notes to the Debtors’ unsecured creditors, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and (d) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (together, the “Purchase Price”).In addition, under the Stalking Horse Agreement, Harbin Buyer is obligated to make a $57.0 million good faith deposit (the “Deposit”) to be held in a segregated escrow account, with the concession process, thenDeposit being released to the changesCompany upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing, in which case the amount of the Deposit will be treated ascredited against the cash portion of the Purchase Price and (ii) a modificationBuyer Default Termination (as defined in the Stalking Horse Agreement).If the Stalking Horse Agreement is terminated other than due to a Buyer Default Termination, the Deposit will be returned to Harbin Buyer.

The Stalking Horse Agreement, which is subject to Court approval, is intended to constitute a “stalking horse bid” for the Assets in accordance with ASC 842.the Debtors’ motion to modify the bidding procedures order (the “Bidding Procedures Order”), which was approved by a final order of the Court on Court on July 22, 2020, to extend the deadline by which the Debtors are authorized to enter into a Stalking Horse Agreement to August 7, 2020 (the “Stalking Horse Extension Motion”). The Stalking Horse Agreement includes certain bid protections for Harbin Buyer payable in accordance with the terms thereof, including a break-up fee equal to $22.8 million and an expense reimbursement of up to $3.0 million of reasonable and documented out of pocket fees (the “Bid Protections”).A hearing to consider the Stalking Horse Extension Motion, and the entry of a final order approving the modified Bidding Procedures Order, is scheduled to be held before the Bankruptcy Court on August 19, 2020 at 1.00 p.m. ET.

The Bidding Procedures Order established certain bidding procedures for an auction that allows other qualified bidders to submit higher or otherwise better offers to purchase all or substantially all of the Assets (any such offer, a “Competing Transaction”). The Bid Protections are payable upon certain termination events set forth in

the Stalking Horse Agreement, including the consummation of a Competing Transaction (subject to certain exceptions).

The Bidding Procedures Order set the deadline (the “Bid Deadline”) to submit bids for the Debtors’ assets as September 11, 2020. Upon the receipt of at least one qualified offer from other bidders proposing a Competing Transaction by the Bid Deadline, the Debtors will hold an auction with respect to the Assets on or about September 15, 2020.

Forward-looking statements include statements that may relate to our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that is not historical information. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of terminology such as "subject to," "believe," "anticipate," "plan," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "project," "may," "will," "should," "would," "could," "can," the negatives thereof, variations thereon and similar expressions, or by discussions of strategy.
        All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, our examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and include various assumptions. We believe there is a reasonable basis for our expectations and beliefs, but they are inherently uncertain and subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. A detailed discussion of risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2020 (the "2019 10-K"). and as set forth in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" included herein.

        In addition, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment; therefore, new risk factors can arise, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any individual risk factor, or combination of risk factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Consequently, forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance or achievements. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this filing. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update, republish or revise forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events.

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11
On June 23, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), we and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed a prearranged plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) under Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Debtors’ voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings (the "Chapter 11 Cases") are being jointly administered for procedural purposes under the caption In re GNC Holdings, Inc., Inc., et al., Case No. 20-11662. In addition, our Canadian subsidiary
43
Table of Contents
("GNC Canada") voluntarily commenced parallel proceedings under the CCAA in Canada in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Case No. CV-20-00642970-00CL.
We are currently operating our business as debtors-in-possession in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. After we filed our Chapter 11 petitions, the Bankruptcy Court granted certain relief requested by the Debtors enabling us to conduct our business activities in the ordinary course, including, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, authorizing us to pay employee wages and benefits, to pay taxes and certain governmental fees and charges, to continue to operate our cash management system in the ordinary course, and to pay the prepetition claims of certain of our vendors. For goods and services provided following the Petition Date, we intend to pay vendors in full under normal terms.

Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of most judicial or administrative proceedings or filing of other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the Petition Date. Accordingly, although the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases triggered defaults under the Debtors’ funded debt obligations, creditors are stayed from taking any actions against the Debtors as a result of such defaults, subject to certain limited exceptions permitted by the Bankruptcy Code. Absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.

For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, our operations and ability to develop and execute our business plan are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 process as described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the amount and composition of our assets, liabilities, officers and/or directors could be significantly different following the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the description of our operations, properties and liquidity and capital resources included in this quarterly report may not accurately reflect its operations, properties and liquidity and capital resources following the Chapter 11 Cases.

In particular, subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assume and assign or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors of performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach subject, in the case of the rejection of unexpired leases of real property, to certain caps on damages. Counterparties to such rejected contracts or leases may assert unsecured claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the applicable Debtor’s estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption or assumption and assignment of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance thereunder. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtor in this quarterly report, including where applicable a quantification of our obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtor is qualified by any overriding rejection rights we have under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, nothing herein is or shall be deemed an admission with respect to any claim amounts or calculations arising from the rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease and the Debtors expressly preserve all of their rights with respect thereto.

Deconsolidation of GNC Canada

As noted above, GNC Canada filed parallel proceedings in the Canadian Court. Any significant business decision which would impact our Canadian business requires the approval of both the U.S. and Canadian Courts as they have equal and plenary authority. As joint control by the U.S. and Canadian Courts does not constitute continued common control by the parent, we have deconsolidated GNC Canada effective as of June 24, 2020. The operating results of GNC Canada are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations through the date of deconsolidation.

Uncertainty Relating to COVID-19

Our business has been materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus known as “COVID-19”.COVID-19. During March 2020, many state governments ordered all but certain essential businesses closed and imposed significant limitations on the circulation of the populace. Approximately 1,300,populace due to the COVID-19 pandemic. U.S. and Canada company-owned and franchise retail stores closures reached approximately 1,400 stores, or 40%, in April 2020 and have steadily re-opened since then. Some of these stores have been permanently closed effective in June in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the rejection of certain unexpired U.S and Canada company-owned and franchise leases. As of August 5, 2020, we had less than 100, or 3%, of the U.S. and Canada company-owned and franchise retail stores were closed as of May 6, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the stores temporarily closed may be closed permanently in the future. In response, the company has

we have significantly reduced inventory purchases and capital expenditures, as well as taken actioned measures to decrease costs by nearly $40 million in 2020 consisting of employee furloughs, marketing reductions, store hours reductions and deferral of non-essential spend.

Due to the current and future potentialexpected impact of COVID-19, including uncertainties on the severity of the virus, the duration of the outbreak, governmental, business or other actions (which could include limitations on our operations), impacts on our supply chain, the effect on customer demand, temporary and permanent store closures or changes to our operations, we have recorded charges to carrying amount of inventory, accounts receivable, goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, our equity method investment and other long-lived assets during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.

Refer to Item 1,1. "Financial Statement,Statements," Note 15,16. "Subsequent Events" for additional information on the uncertainty relating to COVID-19.

Our Current Strategy
        Key elements of our business strategy and areas of internal focus for the Companyus are as follows:
•Leading brand of nutritional supplements. GNC has been in business for more than 80 years and the Company iswe are built on a core foundation as a brand builder of high-quality nutritional supplements. Based on our worldwide network of approximately 7,3006,700 locations and our online channels, we are a leading global brand of health, wellness and performance products.

Our objective is to offer a broad and deep mix of products for consumers interested in living well, whether they are looking to treathelp with a health-related issue, maintain their overall wellness, or improve their performance. Our premium, value-added offerings include both proprietary GNC-branded products and other nationally recognized third-party brands.

We believe our depth of brands, exclusive products and range of merchandise, combined with the customer support and service we offer, differentiate us and allow us to effectively compete against food, drug and mass channel players, specialty stores, independent vitamin, supplement and natural food shops and online retailers.

•Product development and innovation. We develop high-quality, innovative nutritional supplement products that can be purchased only through our store locations, GNC.com, our Amazon.com storefront and other marketplaces or through our select wholesale partners. Our high quality ingredients are rigorously tested before going into GNC products, undergoing multiple quality checks to ensureso that they meet our high standards for identity, strength, purity, composition and limits in contaminants.
We believe our sector-leading innovation capability is a significant competitive advantage. Our strategic partnership with International Vitamin Corporation ("IVC") allows us to continue to focus on further innovation while IVC drives increased efficiencies in manufacturing. Refer to Note 8.9. "Equity Method Investments" for more information. GNC has demonstrated strength in developing unique, branded, and scientifically verified products and has a long history of delivering new ingredients and reformulations. We directly employ scientists, nutritionists, formulators and quality control experts and have access to a wide range of world-class research facilities and consultants.

•A differentiated retail customer experience. Our retail strategy is to deliver a compelling experience at every customer touch point. We operate in a highly personalized, aspirational sector and believe that the
45
Table of Contents
nutritional supplement consumer often desires and seeks out product expertise and knowledgeable customer service.
We further differentiate ourselves from competitors through development of our well-trained in-store associates as "coaches" with regular training that focuses on solution-based selling, and through in-store technology that allows associates to view customers’ purchase history and preferences in real time via tablets. With that knowledge, and help from sales tools built into the tablet platform, our in-store associates can engage customers in conversation, share product information and testimonials before and after
30
Table of Contents
pictures, recommend solutions and help customers add complimentarycomplementary products and build wellness regimens.
Our loyalty programs allow us to develop and maintain a large and loyal customer base, provide targeted offers and information, and connect with our customers on a regular basis. We harness data generated by these programs to better understand customers’ buying behaviors and needs, so we can deliver a stronger experience, bring like-minded consumers into the channel and make well-informed decisions about the business.
•Omni-channel development. We believe our diversified, omni-channel model, which includes company-owned stores, domestic and international franchise locations, wholesale locations and e-commerce channels, differentiates us from online-only and other competitors. Our strategy is to give consumers a seamless, integrated experience across digital, mobile and store channels and in every interaction they have with GNC.

Through GNC.com, our Amazon.com storefront and other marketplaces, customers can research and purchase our products online. We believe our store base is a competitive advantage with respect to our online presence and platform, allowing customers to experience our products and get expert advice from our in-store associates "coaches" as desired.

Our omni-channel model can enhance the customer experience and increase the lifetime value of a GNC customer, and we plan to continue to implement strategies over the next 12-18 months to blend our digital , online and in-store platforms to provide a seamless omni-channel shopping experience. These initiatives include increased cross-channel marketing, online and in-store subscription services, giving customers the option of picking up online purchases in GNC stores, shipping products purchased via e-commerce directly from stores, and providing additional educational content, information and advice on GNC.com.

•International growth.We see opportunity to expand internationally within the large global supplement market, which is expected to continue to grow. In particular, our partnership with Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. ("Harbin") allows us to further expand our business in China. Harbin’s expertise in distribution and regulation is the ideal match for our highly valued brand and assortment of products in the China market. Refer to Item 1,1. "Financial Statement,Statements," Note 8.9. "Equity Method Investments" for more information.
•Driving constructive industry dialogue. We remain focused on continuously raising the bar on transparency and quality throughout the dietary supplement industry. We believe that over time the implementation of higher standards and more stringent industry self-regulation regarding manufacturing practices, ingredient traceability and product transparency will prove beneficial for the industry and lead to improved dialogue with regulators, stronger consumer trust and greater confidence in our industry.
Key Performance Indicators
The primary key performance indicator that senior management focuses on is operating income for each segment, which is discussed in detail within the section titled "Results of Operations",Operations," as well as revenue and same store sales growth.
The table below presents the key components of U.S Company-owned same store sales for the periods indicated:
U.S. Company-Owned Same Store Sales, including GNC.comQ1
2020 total same store sales(10.1)%
2019 total same store sales(1.6)%
U.S. Company-Owned Same Store Sales, including GNC.comQ1Q2YTD
2020 total same store sales(10.1)%(32.4)%(20.9)%
2019 total same store sales(1.6)%(4.6)%(3.1)%
        Same store sales include point-of-sale retail sales from all our company-owned domestic stores that have been operating for twelve full months following the opening day and retail sales from GNC.com. We are an omni-channel retailer with capabilities that allow a customer to use more than one channel when making a purchase, including in-store and e-commerce channels. Our e-commerce channels include our wholly-owned website GNC.com and third-party websites, including Amazon (the sales from which are included in the GNC.com business unit), where product assortment and price are controlled by us and purchases are fulfilled by direct shipment to the

Table of Contents
by sales originally consummated online or through mobile devices and subsequently returned in-store. Sales of membership programs, including the PRO Access loyalty program and the net change in the deferred points liability associated with the myGNC Rewards program, are excluded from same store sales.
        Same store sales are calculated on a daily basis for each store and exclude the net sales of a store for any period if the store was not open during the same period of the prior year. When a store’s square footage has been changed as a result of reconfiguration or relocation in the same mall or shopping center, the store continues to be treated as a same store. If, during the period presented, a store was permanently closed, relocated to a different mall or shopping center, or converted to a franchise store or a company-owned store, sales from that store up to and including the closing day or the day immediately preceding the relocation or conversion are included as same store sales as long as the store was open during the same period of the prior year. Corporate stores are included in same store sales after the thirteenth month following a relocation or conversion to a company-owned store.
        We also provide retail comparable same stores sales of our franchisees as well as our Canada business if meaningful to current results. While retail sales of franchisees are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, the metric serves as a key performance indicator of our franchisees, which ultimately impacts wholesale sales and royalties and fees received from franchisees. We compute same store sales for our franchisees and Canada business consistent with the description of corporate same store sales above. Same store sales for international franchisees and Canada exclude the impact of foreign exchange rate changes relative to the U.S. dollar.
During MarchBeginning in March 2020 many state governments ordered all but certain essential businesses closed and imposed significant limitations on the circulation of the populace. Approximately 1,100, or 30%, of the U.S. and Canada company-owned and franchise retail stores were closedpopulace due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as ofwe temporarily closed up to 40% company-owned and franchise stores from March 31,through June 2020, and sales trends have significantly declined beginning in the second half of March due to COVID-19.2020. COVID-19 related temporary closures are also included in the calculation of same store sales. The impact from the COVID-19 pandemictemporary closures on U.S. Company-owned same store sales including GNC.com, was estimated by comparingexcluding the net sales of a store from the calculation of same store sales inif the last two weeks in March tostore was temporarily closed at the weekly same store sales trends inend of each month as a result of the first quarter of 2020 prior to the pandemic outbreak.COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-GAAP Measures
        We have included certain non-GAAP financial measures below, which have been adjusted to exclude the impact of certain transactions occuringoccurring during the periods presented, because we believe such measures represent an effective supplemental means by which to measure our operating performance. We believe that (i) net (loss) income, (ii) diluted earnings per share ("EPS"), (iii) EBITDA, each on an as adjusted basis to exclude certain items, and (iv) free cash flow are useful metrics to investors and enable management and our investors to evaluate and compare our results from operations in a more meaningful and consistent manner by excluding specific items that are not reflective of ongoing operating results. However, these metrics are not a measurement of our operating performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income, EPS, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to GAAP cash flow from operating activities, or as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.

The decrease in revenue was largely due to U.S. company-owned negative same store sales of 20.9% due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the closure of company-owned stores under our ongoing store portfolio optimization strategy, lower Domestic franchise revenue, the transfer of the Nutra manufacturing to the Manufacturing JV in the first quarter of 2019 and lower International franchise revenue.

•A decrease in U.S. company-owned same store sales of 20.9%, which includes GNC.com sales, resulted in a $145.0 million decrease to revenue, of which approximately $98.9 million was attributable to the impact of COVID-19 temporary store closures. U.S. and Canada company-owned and franchise retail stores closures reached approximately 1,400 stores, or 40%, in April 2020 and have steadily re-opened since then. Some of these stores have been permanently closed effective in June in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the rejection of certain unexpired U.S and Canada company-owned and franchise leases as discussed further in Item 1. "Financial Statements," Note 3. "Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings." As of June 30, we had over 100, or 4%, of the U.S. and Canada company-owned and franchise retail stores were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

•A decrease in domestic franchise revenue of $33.5 million due to a decrease in same store sales of 13.8% and decrease in number of franchise stores from 1,000 at June 30, 2019 to 863 at June 30, 2020; and
•A decrease in Canada same stores sales of 32.9% resulted in a $13.3 million decrease to revenue.
        International. Revenues in our International segment decreased $17.9 million, or 22.3%, to $62.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with $80.4 million in the prior year period primarily due to the outbreak of COVID-19 which caused business disruption in the International segment beginning in January 2020. Revenue from our international franchisees decreased by $20.5 million in the current year period compared with the prior year period primarily due to lower sales in the Hong Kong, South Korea, Mexico, Singapore, UAE and Philippines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue from sales to the HK joint venture, primarily from wholesale sales, increased $6.1 million in the current quarter compared with the prior year quarter.
        Manufacturing / Wholesale.Revenues in our Manufacturing / Wholesale segment, excluding intersegment sales, decreased $23.9 million, or 45.0%, to $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with $53.2 million in the prior year period primarily due to the transfer of the Nutra manufacturing business to the Manufacturing JV. Sales to our wholesale partners decreased $8.1 million, or 21.8%, from $37.4 million in the prior year period to $29.3 million in the current year period largely due to expiration of the PetSmart agreement in the fourth quarter of 2019 and closures of our Rite Aid store-within-a-store as a result of Walgreens' acquisition of certain Rite Aid locations.

Excluding these expenses in the current quarter, gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 31.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with 36.1% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit rate was primarily due to deleverage in occupancy expense associated with lower sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Under the Bankruptcy Code, holders of creditthe Tranche B-2 Term Notes and $26.6 million reduction to borrowing abilityFILO Term Loan are stayed from taking any action against us as a result of a decrease in net collateral.  During Aprilthis event of default.
On June 24, 2020 we borrowed an additional $30.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and asentered into senior secured super-priority debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing consisting of April 30, 2020, we had $60.0 million borrowing outstanding.
As further discussed below, we have an accelerated maturity payment due on May 16, 2020 (the “Springing Maturity Date”) that we do not have the ability to pay. Since we have not refinanced the $738.7$100 million of Tranche B-2 Term Loannew cash (the "Tranche B-2 Term Loan"), FILO Term Loan (the "FILO Term Loan""New Money DIP") and Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") that will become due on the Springing Maturity Date, management has concluded there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern within one year$100 million of principal rolled up from the issuance date of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Failure to complete a refinancing or other restructuring, obtain an extension of the Springing Maturity Date as defined in the Credit Agreements, reach an agreement with required lender groups under the Credit Agreements prior to May 16, 2020 or to reach an agreement with our stakeholders on the terms of an out-of-court restructuring would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and may result in filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in order to implement a restructuring plan. As of March 31, 2020, our outstanding indebtedness has been classified as current on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we accelerated the amortization of original issuance discount and deferred financing fees for the Tranche B-2 Term Loan,Loans (the "Rollup Term Loans").

We have closed underperforming stores under its store optimization strategy and implemented cost reduction measures to help mitigate the effect of these declines and improve its financial position and liquidity.

We made an excess cash flow payment of $25.9 million that was due in April 2020 which reduced the outstanding amount of the Tranche B-2 Term Loan. The Tranche B-2 Term Loan becomes due on the earlier to occur of (i) the maturity date of March 4, 2021 or (ii) May 16, 2020 if more than $50 million of the Notes are outstanding on such date.

The outbreak of novel strain of coronavirus COVID-19 caused business disruption in the International segment beginning in January 2020. In late February 2020, the situation escalated as the scope of the COVID-19 outbreak worsened to directly impact areas outside of the Asia-Pacific region, with Europe and the United States recognizing outbreaks of COVID-19. As of March 31, 2020, we had temporarily closed approximately 30% of the U.S. and Canada company-owned and franchise storescontinue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is significant uncertainty on our business going forward due to various global macroeconomic, operational and supply chain risks as a result of COVID-19.
We were in compliance with the debt covenant reporting and compliance obligations under the Credit Agreements as of March 31, 2020. Management does not believe that we have the ability to comply with the financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facility Agreements over the next twelve months given the current circumstances stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic
We are in the process of reviewing a range of refinancing options to refinance our outstanding indebtedness. Weconcern. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been workingprepared in conformity with an independent committee of the Board supported by independent financial and legal advisors to conduct its review and have had a series of discussions with financing sourcesaccounting principles accepted in the United States of America which contemplate the our continuation as a going concern.

Whilecommitments, we continue to work throughhave undertaken a number of refinancing alternativesactions, including closing stores and further reducing its recurring operating expenses.

Reporting requirements under both the Tranche B-2 Term Loanservice obligations, meet other financial obligations, comply with its debt covenants, and the Credit Agreement require the Company to provide annual audited financial statements accompanied by an opinion of an independent public accountant without a "going concern" or like qualification or exception, or qualification arising out of the scope of the audit (other than a “going concern” statement, explanatory note or like qualification or exception resulting solely from an upcoming maturity date under the Tranche B-2 Term Loan or the Notes). Management believes the we satisfied this requirement in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2020 (the"2019 10-K"). If the lenders take a contrary position, (a) they could decide to instruct the administrative agent under the Senior Credit Agreements to deliver a written notice thereof to the borrower, and if the alleged default continued uncured for 30 days thereafter it would become an alleged event of default (unless waived by the lenders) and (b) the Company intends to contest such position and any action the lenders may attempt to take asexecute its business plan. As a result, thereof. If the lenders were to prevail in any such dispute, the required lenders could instruct the administrative agent to exercise remedies under the Senior Credit Agreements (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), including accelerating the maturity of the loans, terminating commitments under the revolving credit facility under the ABL Credit Agreement and requiring the posting of cash collateral in respect of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility ($4.5 million at March 31, 2020). If this were to occur, management would enter into discussions with the lenders to waive the default or forebear from the exercise of remedies.

Due to the adverse impacts of COVID-19, we withheld rent and other occupancy payments beginning in April 2020 for certain of our retail locations as management negotiates with landlords for rent concessions. The Company withheld rent and other occupancy payments of approximately $19 million in April 2020 and approximately $16 million in May 2020. In the event that withholding these rent payments would constitute an event of default per the lease agreement, management intends to negotiate resolution with the landlord. If such negotiations are not successful, the lease liabilities associated with those leases could become immediately due and payable.Code.

Contractual Obligations
The Company does not expect to have the ability to reduce the outstanding balance on the Notes from $156.4 million to below $50 million with projected cash on hand and new borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, assuming such borrowings remain available, before the Springing Maturity Date. As of March 31, 2020, the Company's outstanding indebtedness has been classified as current on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resource for more information.

        ThereThe following changes have been no significant changesoccurred with respect to our exposure to market risk since December 31, 2019. 2019:
Interest Rate Exposure
The Term Loan Facility and the asset-based Revolving Credit Facility are subject to changing interest rates. Effective as of the Petition Date, we ceased recording interest expense on outstanding prepetition debt subject to compromise, which reduced our interest rate exposure.

Table of Contents
On June 13, 2018, we entered into two interest rate swaps in an effort to manage interest rate exposure. As of March 31, 2020, our expectation was that it could not reduce the outstanding balance on the Notes to below $50 million before the Springing Maturity date, which would result in acceleration of the maturity date of the Tranche B-2 and the FILO Term Loan. As such, we deemed the cash flow hedges as ineffective as the forecasted hedging transactions were not expected to occur by the end of the originally specified time period. In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, we entered into debtor-in-possession financing and agreed to settle and terminate the outstanding swap agreements on June 29, 2020.

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings 
On June 23, 2020, the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases seeking relief under the Bankruptcy Code. The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed all of the proceedings and actions against the Debtors. See Note 3. "Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings" for a description of the Chapter 11 Cases.
        We are engaged in various legal actions, claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business, some of which are covered by insurance for which we have rights of indemnification. These actions, claims and proceedings are of the sort that are commonly encountered in the nutritional supplement retail industry, including claims related to breach of contracts, products liabilities, intellectual property matters and employment-related matters resulting from our business activities. Although the impact of the final resolution of these matters on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows is not known, management does not believe that the resolution of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors
        Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the disclosures relating to this item from those set forth under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the 2019 10-K:
We are subject to risks and uncertainties associated with our Chapter 11 Cases.

As previously reported on June 23, 2020, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions commencing the Chapter 11 Cases under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors continue to operate their business as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

Pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement (substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 24, 2020, the “RSA”), the Debtors are pursuing on a parallel path basis (1) a standalone plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) and (2) a sale of the business of the Debtors pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and based on a potential stalking horse bid from Harbin Buyer and/or other co-investors and/or their respective designees on terms and in accordance with documentation acceptable to the Consenting Creditors (as defined in the RSA) (the highest and best sale offer pursuant to this sale process, the “Sale”). A summary of certain material terms in the RSA was disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 24, 2020, which description is incorporated by referenced herein.

In 2019, we engaged financial and legal advisors to assist us in, among other things, analyzing various strategic alternatives to address our liquidity and capital structure, including strategic and refinancing alternatives to restructure our indebtedness in private transactions. These restructuring efforts led to the execution of the RSA and commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases in the Bankruptcy Court on June 23, 2020.

The Chapter 11 Cases could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. So long as the Chapter 11 Cases continue, our senior management may be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort dealing with the reorganization instead of focusing on our business operations. Bankruptcy Court protection also may make it more difficult to retain management and the key personnel necessary to the success and growth of our business. In addition, during the period of time we are involved in the Chapter 11 Cases, our customers and suppliers may lose confidence in our ability to reorganize our business successfully and may seek to establish alternative commercial relationships.

Other significant risks include or relate to the following:

•our ability to obtain the Bankruptcy Court’s approval with respect to motions or other requests made to the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases, including maintaining strategic control as debtors-in-possession;
•our ability to consummate either the Plan or the Sale;
•the effects of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on our business and the interest of various constituents, including our stockholders;
•the high costs of Chapter 11 Cases and related fees;
•our ability to maintain relationships with suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases;
•Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases as well as the outcome of all other pending litigation and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases in general;
•the length of time that we will operate with Chapter 11 protection and the continued availability of operating capital during the pendency of the proceedings;
64
Table of Contents
•third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, which may interfere with our ability to consummate either the Plan or the Sale;
•the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on our liquidity and results of operations; and
•our ability to continue as a going concern.

Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, we may not be able to accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact the Chapter 11 Cases may have on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, nor can we accurately predict the ultimate impact the Chapter 11 Cases may have on our corporate or capital structure.

Delays in the Chapter 11 Cases may increase the risks of our being unable to consummate either the Plan or the Sale and increase our costs associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.

The RSA contemplates the consummation of the Plan (or the Sale, if it can be consummated on terms and in accordance with documentation acceptable to the Consenting Creditors (as defined in the RSA)), but there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate either the Plan or the Sale. A prolonged Chapter 11 proceeding could adversely affect our relationships with customers, suppliers and employees, among other parties, which in turn could adversely affect our business, competitive position, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and our ability to continue as a going concern. A weakening of our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could adversely affect our ability to implement either the Plan or the Sale (or any other plan of reorganization). If we are unable to consummate either the Plan or the Sale, we may be forced to liquidate our assets.

The RSA is subject to significant conditions and milestones that may be difficult for us to satisfy.

There are certain material conditions we must satisfy under the RSA, including the timely satisfaction of milestones in the Chapter 11 Cases, which include the consummation of either the Plan or the Sale. Our ability to timely complete such milestones is subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control.

If the CompanyRSA is terminated, our ability to confirm and consummate either the Plan or the Sale could be materially and adversely affected.

The RSA contains a number of termination events, upon the occurrence of which certain parties to the RSA may terminate the agreement. If the RSA is terminated as to all parties thereto, each of the parties thereto will be released from its obligations in accordance with the terms of the RSA. Such termination may result in the loss of support for the Plan and/or the Sale by the parties to the RSA, which could adversely affect our ability to confirm and consummate the Plan or the Sale. If neither the Plan nor the Sale is consummated, there can be no assurance that the Chapter 11 Cases would not be converted to Chapter 7 liquidation cases or that any new plan would be as favorable to holders of claims against the Debtors as contemplated by the RSA.

Even if the Plan or the Sale is consummated, we may not be able to achieve our stated goals and there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Even if the Plan or Sale or any other Chapter 11 plan of reorganization is consummated, we may continue to face a number of risks, such as changes in economic conditions, changes in our industry, changes in demand for our services and increasing expenses. Some of these risks become more acute when a case under the Bankruptcy Code continues for a protracted period without indication of how or when the case may be completed. As a result of these risks and others, we cannot meetguarantee that the NYSE continued listing requirements,Plan or the NYSESale will achieve our stated goals.

Furthermore, even if our debts are reduced or discharged through the Plan or Sale, we may delistneed to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing or other various means to fund our business after the Company’s shares.completion of the Chapter 11 Cases. Our access to additional financing may be limited, if it is available at all. Therefore, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Under

In certain instances, a Chapter 11 case may be converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the continued listing requirementsBankruptcy Code.

Table of The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), amongst others,Contents
Upon a showing of cause, the Company is consideredBankruptcy Court may convert our Chapter 11 Cases to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In such event, a Chapter 7 trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate our assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. We believe that liquidation under Chapter 7 would result in significantly smaller distributions being made to our creditors than those provided for in either the Plan or the Sale because of (i) the likelihood that the assets would have to be outsold or otherwise disposed of compliancein a distressed fashion over a short period of time rather than in a controlled manner and as a going concern, (ii) additional administrative expenses involved in the appointment of a Chapter 7 trustee, and (iii) additional expenses and claims, some of which would be entitled to priority, that would be generated during the liquidation and from the rejection of leases and other executory contracts in connection with a cessation of operations.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, our historical financial information may not be indicative of our future performance, which may be volatile.

During the Chapter 11 Cases, we expect our financial results to continue to be volatile as restructuring activities and expenses, contract terminations and rejections, and claims assessments significantly impact our Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, our historical financial performance is likely not indicative of our financial performance after the date of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. In addition, if we emerge from Chapter 11, the amounts reported in subsequent consolidated financial statements may materially change relative to our historical consolidated financial statements, including as a result of revisions to our operating plans pursuant to the Plan or the Sale (as applicable). We also may be required to adopt fresh start accounting, in which case our assets and liabilities will be recorded at fair value as of the fresh start reporting date, which may differ materially from the recorded values of assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Our financial results after the application of fresh start accounting may be different from historical trends.

We may be subject to claims that will not be discharged in the Chapter 11 Cases, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Bankruptcy Code provides that the confirmation of a plan of reorganization discharges a debtor from substantially all debts arising prior to consummation of a plan of reorganization. With few exceptions, all claims that arose prior to June 23, 2020 or before consummation of a plan of reorganization (i) would be subject to compromise and/or treatment under the plan of reorganization and/or (ii) would be discharged in accordance with the NYSE’s minimum price requirementBankruptcy Code and the terms of the plan of reorganization. Any claims not ultimately discharged pursuant to the plan of reorganization could be asserted against the reorganized entities and may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations on a post-reorganization basis.

The pursuit of the Chapter 11 Cases has consumed, and will continue to consume, a substantial portion of the time and attention of our management, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and we may experience increased levels of employee attrition.

While the Chapter 11 Cases continue, our management will be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort focusing on the Chapter 11 Cases instead of focusing exclusively on our business operations. This diversion of attention may materially adversely affect the conduct of our business, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if the Company’s average closing priceChapter 11 Cases are protracted.

Furthermore, during the pendency of its common stock (“Shares”) overthe Chapter 11 Cases, we may experience increased levels of employee attrition, and our employees may face considerable distraction and uncertainty. A loss of key personnel or material erosion of employee morale could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Our ability to engage, motivate and retain key employees or take other measures intended to motivate and incentivize key employees to remain with us through the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is limited by restrictions on implementation of incentive programs under the Bankruptcy Code. The loss of services of members of our senior management team could impair our ability to execute our strategy and implement operational initiatives, which would be likely to have a consecutive 30 trading-day period is less than $1.00 per share (the “Share Price Deficiency”).material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. In addition, the 30 trading-day average market capitalizationlonger the Chapter 11 Cases continue, the more likely it is that vendors and employees will lose confidence in our ability to reorganize our business successfully.

Our current operations and future growth may require significant additional capital, and the amount and terms of our indebtedness could impair our ability to fund our capital requirements. Financings under the Company is requiredCredit Agreements may be insufficient to fund our cash requirements through emergence from bankruptcy.

Our business requires substantial capital. We may require additional capital in the event of growth opportunities, unanticipated maintenance requirements, or significant departures from our current business plan. Additional financing may not be above $50 million (unless, at the same time, the Company’s total stockholders’ equity is equal to or greater than $50 million) (the “Market Capitalization Deficiency”). On April 22, 2020, the Company received written notification from the NYSE that it was not in compliance with either the minimum share price requirement or the market capitalization requirement.
Pursuant to Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company has a period of six months following its receipt of the written notice from the NYSE with respect to the Share Price Deficiency to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. In order to regain compliance, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period, the Shares must have (i) a closing price of at least $1.00 per Share and (ii) an average closing price of at least $1.00 per Share over the 30 trading day period ending on the last trading day of such month.
Pursuant to Section 802.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company has a period of 45 days from its receipt of written notice with respect to the Market Capitalization Deficiency to submit a plan advising the NYSE of definitive actions the Company has taken, or is taking, that would bring it into conformity with the market capitalization listing standard within 18 months of its receipt of written notice. If the NYSE accepts the plan, the Shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE during the 18-month period, subject to compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards and continued periodic review by the NYSE of the Company’s progress with respect to its plan. If the plan is not submittedavailable on a timely basis is not accepted, or is accepted buton terms acceptable to us and within the Company does not make progress consistentlimitations contained in the debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) credit agreements entered into in connection with the plan duringChapter 11 Cases (the “DIP Credit Agreements”). The terms of the plan period,DIP Credit Agreements were previously disclosed in the SharesCompany’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 24, 2020, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

Failure to obtain additional financing, should the need for it develop, could impair our ability to fund capital expenditure requirements and meet debt service requirements and could have an adverse effect on our business. Further, for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, we will be subject to suspensionvarious risks, including but not limited to (i) the inability to maintain or obtain sufficient financing sources for operations or to fund the Chapter 11 Cases and delisting frommeet future obligations, and (ii) increased legal and other professional costs associated with the NYSE. In addition, the NYSE can at any time suspend trading in a securityChapter 11 Cases and delist the stock if it deems it necessary for the protection of investors.our reorganization.

If the Sharestransactions contemplated by the RSA are suspendednot completed and delistedthe effective date of the Plan or the Sale does not occur prior to the maturity of the indebtedness under the DIP Credit Agreements, we may need to refinance such indebtedness. We may not be able to obtain some or all of any such financing on acceptable terms or at all.

We may be unable to comply with restrictions imposed by the DIP Credit Agreements.

The DIP Credit Agreements impose a number of restrictions on us. For example, the DIP Credit Agreements require us to maintain minimum levels of liquidity and various financial ratios and comply with various other financial covenants. Specifically, the terms of the DIP Credit Agreements require us to comply with covenants that are customary for DIP facilities of a similar type, including, but not limited to specified restrictions on indebtedness, liens, guarantee obligations, mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, leases, payment of dividends and other restricted payments, voluntary payments of other indebtedness, investments, loans and advances, transactions with affiliates, sale and leaseback transactions and compliance with RSA milestones. The DIP Credit Agreements also require compliance with a variance covenant that compares actual operating disbursements and receipts and capital expenditures to the budgeted amounts set forth in the DIP budgets delivered to the agent and lenders thereunder from time to time pursuant to the terms of the DIP Credit Agreements. Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control and our failure to comply could result in an event of default under the DIP Credit Agreements.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink, and thus may have a limited market and lack of liquidity.

The recent delisting of our common stock on the NYSE, the Company expects that the Shares would beas well as NYSE’s filing of Form 25-NSE with respect to our common stock on July 1, 2020 could result in significantly lower trading volumes and reduced liquidity for investors seeking to buy or sell shares of our common stock. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink, which may have an over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, although there is no assurance that an active market in the Shares would develop.unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.
