SNFW Fitness B.C. Ltd.
SNFW Fitness B.C. Ltd., which operates 29 fitness facilities in British Columbia, filed an NOI on April 3, listing approximately $35.4 million in liabilities, including $32.0 to BMO. Founded in 2009 through a merger between Fitness World and Steve Nash Sports Club, the company's fitness facilities currently do business as "UFC Gym" and "Steve Nash Fitness World and Sport Club." On March 17, the company issued a notice to all of its members that due to the Province of BC limiting gatherings of 50 people to slow the spread of COVID-19, all facilities would be shut down effective immediately. Subsequently, the company terminated all of its staff except a handful of key personnel. The company's Board of Directors estimates that the company will require an equity injection of over $10.0 million to fund COVID-19 shutdown costs and operating losses to get a break-even level after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. The company is now seeking court approval of a sale and investment solicitation process. The Bowra Group is the proposal trustee. Counsel is Lawson Lundell for the company and Dentons for BMO.
