Planet Fitness announced that Craig Benson, a member of the company’s Board of Directors, has been appointed Interim CEO, effective immediately. Benson’s appointment follows the decision by the Board to transition to new leadership, resulting in Chris Rondeau’s departure as the company’s CEO. Rondeau will continue to serve as a member of the company’s Board of Directors and will be nominated for re-election at the company’s 2024 Annual Meeting. Rondeau will continue to serve the company in an advisory role as contemplated under his existing agreements with the company to help ensure a smooth transition. In connection with this transition, the Board is engaging a leading executive search firm to assist in a comprehensive search process to identify a permanent CEO, with both internal and external candidates being considered. The management change is not the result of any material or unexpected financial events. Benson has served on the Planet Fitness Board of Directors since July 2017. He currently serves as the CEO at Soft Draw Investments, LLC.
