FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Trustmark Begins Tender Offer to Acquire Health Fitness Corporation
LAKE FOREST, IL (January 26, 2010) — Trustco Holdings, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Trustmark Mutual Holding Company, today will commence a cash tender offer through its wholly owned subsidiary Trustco Minnesota, Inc., to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of Health Fitness Corporation (NYSE AMEX: FIT). On January 21, 2010, the companies previously announced a definitive agreement whereby Trustmark would acquire HealthFitness in a cash tender offer and subsequent merger for approximately $97 million on a fully diluted basis.
Upon the successful closing of the tender offer, shareholders of HealthFitness will receive $8.78 in cash for each share of HealthFitness common stock tendered in the offer, without interest and less any required withholding taxes. Following the purchase of shares in the tender offer, HealthFitness will operate as a stand-alone business unit reporting through Trustmark.
Today, Trustmark will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a tender offer statement on Schedule TO that provides the terms of the tender offer, and HealthFitness will file a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 that includes the recommendation of HealthFitness’ Board of Directors that HealthFitness shareholders accept the tender offer and tender their shares in the offer. As previously disclosed, HealthFitness’ Board of Directors has unanimously approved the transaction. Trustmark Mutual Holding Company’s Board of Directors has also unanimously approved the transaction.
The tender offer will expire at midnight on February 24, 2010, unless extended in accordance with the merger agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The closing of the tender offer is conditioned upon the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of HealthFitness’ common stock on a fully diluted basis. The closing is also conditioned upon expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary closing conditions.
