QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is March 30, 2026, which was approved by our Board of Directors. You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on that date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is entitled to one vote for all matters before the Annual Meeting and holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock shall vote together as a single class. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 41,811,616 shares of Class A common stock and 7,303,324 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Annual Meeting virtually or by proxy of the holders of a majority in voting power of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum.

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

The Company has decided to hold the Annual Meeting virtually this year. You may attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online by visiting the following website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/XPOF2026. To attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your Proxy Materials. If your Shares are held in “street name,” you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 16-digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker. You will be able to vote your Shares electronically and submit your written questions prior to and during the meeting through the online website.

We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 9:50 a.m., Pacific Time, on May 20, 2026, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

What if a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting?

If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, the Chairperson of the Annual Meeting is authorized by our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Amended and Restated Bylaws”) to adjourn the meeting, without the vote of stockholders.

What does it mean if I receive more than one set of Proxy Materials?

It means that your Shares are held in more than one account at the transfer agent and/or with banks or brokers. Please vote all of your Shares. To ensure that all of your Shares are voted, for each set of Proxy Materials, please submit your proxy by phone, via the Internet, or, if you received printed copies of the Proxy Materials, by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope.

What is “householding”?

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to implement a delivery procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, multiple stockholders who reside at the same address may receive a single copy of our Proxy Materials, unless the affected stockholder has provided contrary instructions. This procedure reduces printing costs and postage fees and helps protect the environment as well.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders may be “householding” our Proxy Materials. Once you receive notice from your broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time by calling your broker.

Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of our 2025 Annual Report and this Proxy Statement to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of any of these documents was delivered. To receive a separate copy of these materials, you may write our Secretary at 17877 Von Karman Ave, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92614.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any stockholders who share the same address and receive multiple copies of our Proxy Materials who wish to receive only one copy in the future can contact their broker to request information about householding or our Secretary at the address listed above.

How do I vote?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote:

•	by Internet—You can vote over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions on the proxy card;

•	by Telephone—You can vote by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions on the proxy card;

•	by Mail—You can vote by mail by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card, which you may have received by mail; or

•	at the Annual Meeting—You will need the 16-digit control number included in your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your Proxy Materials to vote electronically during the meeting.

Internet and telephone voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on May 19, 2026. To participate in the Annual Meeting online, including to vote via the Internet or telephone, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your Proxy Materials.

Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote your Shares as promptly as possible to ensure your representation and the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If you submit your proxy ahead of time, you may still decide to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your Shares at the meeting, in which case your proxy will be revoked.

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in “Street Name.” If your Shares are held in “street name” through a bank or broker, you will receive instructions on how to vote from the bank or broker. You must follow their instructions in order for your Shares to be voted. Internet and telephone voting also is usually offered to stockholders owning Shares through certain banks and brokers. If your Shares are not registered in your own name and you would like to vote your Shares online at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 16-digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker.

Can I change my vote after I submit my proxy?

Yes. If you are a registered stockholder, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote:

•	by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date;

•	by granting a subsequent proxy through the Internet or telephone;

•	by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company prior to or at the Annual Meeting; or

•	by voting online at the Annual Meeting.

Your most recent proxy card or Internet or telephone proxy is the one that is counted. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Secretary before your proxy is voted or you vote online at the Annual Meeting.

If your Shares are held in street name, you may change or revoke your voting instructions by following the specific directions provided to you by your bank or broker, or you may vote online at the Annual Meeting using your 16-digit control number or otherwise voting through your bank or broker.

What if I do not specify how my Shares are to be voted?

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ recommendations are indicated on page 1 of this proxy statement, as well as with the description of each proposal in this proxy statement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Will any other business be conducted at the Annual Meeting?

How many votes are required for the approval of the proposals to be voted upon and how will abstentions and broker non- votes be treated?

What is a “vote withheld” and an “abstention” and how will votes withheld and abstentions be treated?

A “vote withheld,” in the case of the proposal regarding the election of directors or “abstention” in the case of the proposal regarding the ratification of the appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm, represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Votes withheld, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Votes withheld have no effect on the election of two Class II Directors. Abstentions have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to approve the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

What is the difference between being a “record holder” and holding shares in “street name”?

A record holder holds shares in his or her name. Shares held in “street name” means shares that are held in the name of a bank or broker on a person’s behalf. Most of our stockholders hold our shares in “street name.”

Am I entitled to vote if my Shares are held in “street name”?

Yes. If your Shares are held by a bank or a brokerage firm, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those Shares held in “street name.” If your Shares are held in street name, these Proxy Materials are being provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm, along with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your Shares, and the bank or brokerage firm is required to vote your Shares in accordance with your instructions. To vote your Shares online at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 16-digit control number or otherwise vote in advance of the Annual Meeting through the bank or broker.

What are broker non-votes and do they count for determining a quorum?

Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on non-routine matters, such as the election of a director. Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Where can I find a list of stockholders?

A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder, for a purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of ten days prior to the Annual Meeting during ordinary business hours. Stockholders seeking to examine the list should contact our Investor Relations department at investor@xponential.com and provide proof of ownership of Company stock and a statement of the purpose of the request.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting, and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we intend to file with the SEC after the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Annual Meeting, Ms. Rachel H. Lee and Ms. Lily Yang are to be elected as Class II Directors to hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2029, until their respective successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote the Shares represented thereby for the election of each of Rachel H. Lee and Lily Yang as Class II Directors, whose name and biographies appear below. In the event that either or both Ms. Lee or Ms. Yang should become unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee or nominees designated by the Board of Directors, or the Board may elect to reduce its size. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that either of Ms. Lee or Ms. Yang will be unable to serve if elected. Ms. Lee and Ms. Yang have each consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.

Vote required

The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class II Directors.

Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the election of the below Class II Director nominees.

Nominees For Class II Directors (term to expire at the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders)

Ms. Rachel H. Lee and Ms. Lily Yang are each nominees for election to the Board of Directors as Class II Directors.

Ms. Lee’s and Ms. Yang’s respective principal occupations and business experience are as follows:

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Our Board has directed that this appointment be submitted to our stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Although ratification of our appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP is not required, we value the opinions of our stockholders and believe that stockholder ratification of our appointment is a good corporate governance practice.

Deloitte & Touche LLP also served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Neither the accounting firm nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with us in any capacity other than as our auditors, providing audit and non-audit related services. A representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP is expected to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting and to have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

In the event that the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP is not ratified by the stockholders, the Audit Committee will consider this fact when it appoints the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. Even if the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change is in the interest of the Company and our stockholders.

Vote Required

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions have the same effect as a vote against. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and charters for each of our Audit Committee, Human Capital Management Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, to assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and to serve as a framework for the effective governance of the Company. You can access our current committee charters, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in the “Governance” section under “Governance Documents” of our investor relations website located at investor.xponential.com, or by writing to c/o Secretary at our offices at 17877 Von Karman Ave, Suite 100, Irvine, CA, 92614. The information found on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into, and does not form a part of, this Proxy Statement or any other report or document we file with or furnish to the SEC.

Board Composition

Our Board of Directors currently consists of five members: Mark Grabowski, Rachel H. Lee, Michael Nuzzo, Nicole Parent Haughey, and Lily Yang. As set forth in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is currently divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the authorized number of directors may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided for or fixed relating to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect additional directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as equally as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our Board of Directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of our Company. Our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.

Director Independence

Rachel H. Lee, Nicole Parent Haughey, and Lily Yang each qualify as “independent” in accordance with the listing requirements of The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). In making these determinations, our Board of Directors reviewed and discussed relevant information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business, personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. Mark Grabowski and Michael Nuzzo are not considered independent under applicable NYSE rules. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Director Candidates

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is primarily responsible for searching for qualified director candidates for election to the Board and filling vacancies on the Board. To facilitate the search process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit current directors and executives of the Company for the names of potentially qualified candidates or ask directors and executives to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates or consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence from the Company and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for candidates for election as a director.

In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current Board members), the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in recommending candidates to the Board, and the Board, in approving and recommending for election (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, will consider candidates who have a high level of personal and professional integrity, strong ethics and values and the ability to make mature business judgments. In evaluating director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board may also consider the following criteria as well as any other factor that they may deem to be relevant: the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

candidate’s experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; the candidate’s experience as a board member of another publicly held company; the candidate’s professional and academic experience relevant to the Company’s industry; the strength of the candidate’s leadership skills; the candidate’s experience in finance and accounting and / or executive compensation practices; and whether the candidate has the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at Board meetings and committee meetings, if applicable. In addition, the Board will consider whether there are potential conflicts of interest with the candidate’s other personal and professional pursuits. In addition, the Board monitors the mix of specific experience, qualifications and skills of its directors in order to assure that the Board, as a whole, has the necessary tools to perform its oversight function effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure. Although the Board does not have a formal written diversity policy with respect to the evaluation of director candidates, in its evaluation of director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider factors including, without limitation, issues of judgment, diversity, age, skills, background and experience, and with respect to diversity, such factors as gender, race, ethnicity, experience, and area of expertise, as well as other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to the total diversity of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board.

Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials as set forth in our Amended and Restated Bylaws, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Secretary, Xponential Fitness, Inc., 17877 Von Karman Ave, Suite 100, Irvine, CA, 92614. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates recommended by other sources.

Communications from Interested Parties

Anyone who would like to communicate with, or otherwise make his or her concerns known directly to the chairperson of any of the Audit, Human Capital Management and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, or to the non-management or independent directors as a group, may do so by addressing such communications or concerns to c/o Secretary, Xponential Fitness, Inc., 17877 Von Karman Ave, Suite 100, Irvine, CA, 92614, which will forward such communications to the appropriate party as deemed appropriate. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board of Directors with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of our Company and its stockholders. Currently, the roles are separated, with Mark Grabowski serving as Chairman of the Board and Michael Nuzzo serving as Chief Executive Officer. Our Board has determined that separating the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interests of our Company and its stockholders at this time because it achieves the optimal governance model for us and for our stockholders. For these reasons, our Board has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time.

However, our Board of Directors will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board of Directors may designate a director as the lead director to lead the meetings of the non-management or independent directors. Currently, Ms. Lee serves as our Lead Independent Director. The role the Lead Independent Director plays in the leadership of our Board includes:

•	establishing, in conjunction with the CEO, an annual agenda of topics for consideration and review by the Board and determining the length and frequency of the Board meetings;

•	setting the agenda for each Board meeting;

•	ensuring that the Board functions effectively and the perspectives of each member of the Board are considered;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•	collaborating with Company management to set and review the Company’s long term strategy, establishing appropriate milestones, and gaining Board input and approval for such long term strategy and milestones;

•	acting as the primary liaison between the Board and Company management for matters not already designated as the responsibility of any standing or special committees of the Board;

•	leading the CEO succession planning process and performance review of the CEO; and

•	engaging with stockholders, as needed.

Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board of Directors encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Throughout the year, senior management reviews the risks facing us with the Board of Directors at regular Board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks. Our Board of Directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board of Directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board of Directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our financial and cybersecurity risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures.

The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and considers and approves or disapproves any related person transactions. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of the Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our Human Capital Management Committee assesses risks arising from our compensation policies and practices and whether any such risks are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. The Board does not believe that its role in the oversight of our risks affects the Board’s leadership structure.

Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

As provided in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the non-management directors meet, without management directors or management present on a regularly scheduled basis. If the non-management directors include directors who are not considered independent, the independent directors must also meet in executive session at least once a year. Our Lead Independent Director presides over executive sessions.

Code of Ethics

We have a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We have posted a current copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our investor relations website located at investor.xponential.com, in the “Governance” section under “Governance Documents.” In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or the NYSE rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The policy prohibits our employees and directors from engaging in any hedging transactions (including transactions involving options, puts, calls, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds or other derivatives) that are designed to hedge or speculate on any change in the market value of the Company’s equity securities.

Compensation Clawback Policy

We maintain a Policy Regarding the Recoupment of Certain Compensation Payments (the “Clawback Policy”), that applies to current and former Section 16 officers and requires the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based-compensation if there is an accounting restatement. Pursuant to the Clawback Policy, incentive-based compensation is defined as any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure, as defined in the policy (“Incentive-Based Compensation”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we restated our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and corrected our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result of the restatement, the Company conducted a recovery analysis in 2025 pursuant to the Clawback Policy and determined that the restatement did not result in the recoupment of any compensation because the restatement did not impact any Incentive-Based Compensation awarded to any officer covered by the Clawback Policy.

Attendance by Members of the Board of Directors at Meetings

There were sixteen meetings of the Board of Directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, including four regular meetings and twelve special meetings. The Audit Committee held eight meetings during the year, the Human Capital Management Committee held seven meetings during the year and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held eight meetings during the year. During 2025, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which the director served during the period.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on our investor relations website located at investor.xponential.com, a director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge his or her responsibilities. Accordingly, a director is expected to attend all meetings of the Board and meetings of the committees on which the director sits (including separate meetings of the independent directors), with the understanding that, on occasion, a director may be unable to attend a meeting. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting; however, we encourage our directors to attend the Annual Meeting. Five of our then seven directors serving on the Board at the time of our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders attended the meeting.

Gavin O’Connor

On October 11, 2025, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. O’Connor (the “O’Connor Employment Agreement”).

Mr. O’Connor was paid his guaranteed bonus of $330,000 in early 2026.

Timothy Weiderhoft

On January 13, 2025, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Weiderhoft (the “Weiderhoft Employment Agreement”).

Employment Agreements with NEOs who Terminated from Employment

We were a party to an employment agreement with each NEO who terminated from employment in 2025 or 2026. The employment agreements governed the terms of the applicable NEO’s severance payments and benefits and provided for certain post-employment restrictive covenants obligations. The actual severance paid or payable to each NEO who has terminated from employment is described below in the section titled, “Potential Payments Upon a Termination or Change in Control.”

Annual Cash Bonuses

We maintain an annual cash bonus program that is designed to incentivize our NEOs to achieve our annual financial objectives. Each eligible NEO has a target bonus that is reflected as a percentage of his or her base salary as described above in “Employment Agreements with Current NEOs,” and each eligible NEO’s annual target bonus may be adjusted by the Human Capital Management Committee. Achievement of the applicable performance metrics is determined by the Human Capital Management Committee in February following the year to which performance relates.

For eligible NEOs, the performance metric for the 2025 annual bonuses was Adjusted EBITDA, and the performance goals were as follows:


Adjusted EBITDA Achieved			Funding Level of Target Bonus
Below $106,200,000			0%
$118,000,000			100%
$135,700,000			200%

*	If Adjusted EBITDA was between $106,200,000 and $118,000,000; or between $118,000,000 and $135,700,000 linear interpolation would be used to determine the funding level.

In February 2026, the Human Capital Management Committee determined that the 2025 annual financial objectives were not achieved. However, to recognize Messrs. Nuzzo and Weiderhoft’s leadership to the Company during a period of organizational transition in 2025, the Human Capital Management Committee awarded each such NEO a one-time discretionary cash bonus for 2025. The discretionary cash bonuses were also intended to motivate the NEO to continue pursuing the execution of the Company’s strategic initiatives in 2026.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In early 2026, Mr. O’Connor was paid the $330,000 bonus guaranteed under the O’Connor Employment Agreement for 2025.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

We adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan (our “OIP”) following the completion of our IPO. Our OIP provides for the grant of equity-based awards to our employees, consultants, service providers, and non-employee directors in the form of stock options (non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, PSUs, performance awards, and other stock- and cash-based awards.

In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in our OIP), the Committee (as defined in our OIP) may take certain actions with respect to any outstanding awards, including the continuation or assumption of awards, substitution or replacement of awards by a successor entity, acceleration of vesting and lapse of restrictions, determination of the attainment of performance conditions for performance awards, or the cancellation of awards in consideration of a payment.

We made the following grants in 2025 in connection with the hiring of certain NEOs:

•	In January 2025 we granted to Mr. Weiderhoft RSUs with a grant date fair value of $1,072,230 (calculated in accordance with ASC 718) of which 33% vest annually on the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment through such vesting date.

•

In August 2025, we granted Mr. Nuzzo RSUs and PSUs with an aggregate grant date fair value of $3,566,482 (calculated in accordance with ASC 718). Half of the award was granted as RSUs, which vest in substantially equal installments on each of the 12-, 24-, 30-, and 36-month anniversaries of August 7, 2025, subject to Mr. Nuzzo’s continued employment through such date. The other half of the award was granted as PSUs, which will vest in three substantially equal amounts if, prior to August 7, 2028, the closing price of our Class A common stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, equals or exceeds $16, $25, or $30, respectively, for 20 consecutive trading days, subject Mr. Nuzzo’s continued employment through each such vesting date.

Retirement, Health, Welfare and Additional Benefits

We maintain a tax-qualified retirement plan (the “401(k) Plan”), which provides eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. The 401(k) Plan permits us to make matching contributions and profit sharing contributions to eligible participants. Eligible employees can begin participating in the 401(k) Plan one month following their start date, and are eligible for matching contributions after one year of service. Our NEOs participate in the 401(k) Plan on the same basis as our other employees who satisfy the plan’s eligibility requirements. Participants of the 401(k) Plan can defer up to 100% of their eligible compensation, subject to applicable annual Internal Revenue Code limits. All participants’ interests in their deferrals are 100% vested when contributed. Participants vest into matching contributions and profit-sharing contributions over a two- and six-year period, respectively.

In 2025 and 2024, we provided for a discretionary match of 100% of the first 4% of compensation contributed to the 401(k) Plan for each participant. The amount we contributed on behalf of each NEO, if any, is reflected above under “Summary Compensation Table.”

Our compensation program does not include any other material benefits or perquisites for our NEOs.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

Our non-employee directors receive equity awards and cash retainers pursuant to our Outside Director Compensation Policy, which we last updated on July 1, 2024 (the “Policy”), as compensation for service on our Board of Directors and its committees. The Policy is intended to enable us to attract qualified non-employee directors, provide the non-employee directors with compensation at a level that is consistent with our compensation objectives and, in the case of equity-based compensation, align their interests with those of our stockholders.

Under the updated Policy, non-employee directors will receive the following annual cash retainers, payable in quarterly installments:

•	Board member: $80,000

•	Non-executive board chair: $55,000

•	Lead director: $22,000

•	Audit committee chair: $20,000

•	Audit committee member: $12,000

•	Human Capital Management committee chair: $15,000

•	Human Capital Management committee member: $10,000

•	Nominating and Corporate Governance committee chair: $12,000

•	Nominating and Corporate Governance committee member: $8,000

Pursuant to the Policy, our non-employee directors can elect to receive RSUs in lieu of cash for all or a portion of their annual retainer. The number of RSUs granted is determined by dividing the value of the aggregate amount of cash fees earned by the average closing price of our Class A common stock for the 10 trading days prior to, and including, the grant date. In 2025, Mr. Grabowski and Bruce Haase, Ms. Lee and Ms. Yang each elected to receive RSUs in lieu of cash for their annual cash retainer. Accordingly, in lieu of the cash payments that would typically be made for the applicable quarterly installment, we granted fully vested RSUs on four separate dates during 2025, resulting in aggregate grants of 15,162 RSUs to Mr. Grabowski, 12,804 RSUs to Mr. Haase, 3,970 RSUs to Ms. Lee, and 6,904 RSUs to Ms. Yang.

Further, pursuant to the Policy, non-employee directors receive an annual equity-based award with a grant date value of $110,000, subject to their continued service on our Board of Directors through the applicable vesting date (which amount will be pro-rated, as applicable, for new directors). We granted 12,511 RSUs on May 21, 2025, to each of Mr. Grabowski, Jair Clarke, Mr. Haase and Chelsea A. Grayson, which for Mr. Grabowski will be eligible to vest on the earlier of (x) the date of our 2026 Annual Meeting or (y) May 21, 2026. Messrs. Clarke and Haase and Ms. Grayson each resigned from the Board on April 1, 2026, and forfeited their outstanding RSUs. In connection with their respective commencement of service on our Board, on June 16, 2025, we granted 11,620 RSUs to Ms. Yang, and on August 25, 2025, we granted 9,221 RSUs to Ms. Lee. These RSU awards are eligible to vest, subject to continued service, on the earlier of (x) the date of our 2026 Annual Meeting or (y) May 21, 2026.

Pursuant to our OIP, the maximum number of shares of our Class A common stock that may be granted during a single fiscal year to a non-employee director, together with any cash fees paid during the fiscal year, may not exceed $650,000 in total value or for newly appointed non-employee directors, $1,000,000 in total value during the initial annual period, in each case calculated using the value of any equity awards based on the grant date fair value of such equity awards for financial reporting purposes.

In addition to annual cash and equity awards, we reimburse all our non-employee directors for their reasonable travel expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board of Directors or committees. Our non-employee directors are eligible to receive other compensation and benefits, including reasonable personal benefits and perquisites, as determined by our Board of Directors from time to time.

Director Deferral Program

On December 13, 2025, the Human Capital Management Committee approved the Directors Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”). All our current non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the Deferral Plan. Under the terms of the Deferral Plan, non-employee directors may elect to defer all their annual cash compensation and all of the shares of our Class A common stock issued upon the vesting and settlement of their annual RSU award, in each case, in the form of deferred stock units (“DSUs”), which will be credited to an account maintained by us. The number of DSUs credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the deferred cash compensation by the fair market value of a share of our Class A common stock on the date the cash compensation would otherwise have been paid to the director. DSUs are awarded from, and remain subject to the terms of, our OIP.

Dividend equivalent rights accrue on the DSUs and are credited to each non-employee director’s account under the Deferral Plan. DSUs will be settled following termination of service on the Board of Directors.

Statement of Policy Concerning Trading in Company Securities

Our insider trading policy, or Statement of Policy Concerning Trading in Company Securities, governs the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our securities and applies to our directors, officers, employees, and the Company. We believe that our insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to the Company.

Equity Incentive Plan Information and Equity Grant Timing

The purpose of our OIP is to motivate and reward our employees and directors to perform at the highest level and to further our best interests and those of our stockholders.

Our Human Capital Management Committee has a practice of granting annual equity awards to our executive officers annually in the first quarter of a calendar year, although equity grants may occur at other times during the year, including for new hires, promotions, to address special retention needs, or as otherwise determined by the Human Capital Management Committee. All equity awards to executive officers are made during an open trading window. The Human Capital Management Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards, and the Company does not time the disclosure of such material nonpublic information for purposes of affecting the exercise price of such awards or the value of executive compensation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our voting stock as of March 30, 2026 by:

•	each person or group whom we know to own beneficially more than 5% of any class of our voting stock;

•	each of our directors, nominees for directors and Named Executive Officers individually; and

•	all directors and executive officers as a group.

The numbers of shares of voting stock beneficially owned, percentages of beneficial ownership and percentages of combined voting power that are set forth below are based on 41,811,616 shares of Class A common stock and 7,303,324 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2026.

In connection with the IPO, we entered into a reorganization with a holding company structure (the “Reorganization Transactions”). The pre-IPO members of Xponential Intermediate Holdings LLC (the “Pre-IPO LLC Members”) who retained their equity ownership in the form of limited liability company units (the “LLC Units”), immediately following the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions are referred to as “Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members.” We issued each Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Member one share of Class B common stock for each vested LLC Unit such Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Member beneficially owned immediately prior to the completion of the IPO. Shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled on a one-for-one basis if we, following a redemption request from a Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Member, redeem or exchange LLC Units of such Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Member pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement, as amended, of Xponential Intermediate Holdings, LLC (the “Amended LLC Agreement”). See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Amended LLC Agreement.” As a result, the number of shares of Class B common stock set forth in the table below correlates to the number of vested LLC Units each Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Member beneficially owns.

In accordance with the rules of the SEC, beneficial ownership includes voting or investment power with respect to securities and includes the shares issuable pursuant to stock options and restricted stock units that are exercisable within 60 days of March 30, 2026. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each listed stockholder is: c/o Xponential Fitness, Inc., 17877 Von Karman Ave, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92614. To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of voting stock.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires the executive officers and directors of the Company, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the NYSE. These persons are required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by it, and written representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required during 2025, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) reporting obligations were met during 2025 except that (i) one Form 4 report was filed late by each of Messrs. Weiderhoft, Haase, Grabowski, and Kawaja, Ms. Grayson and John Meloun, our former Chief Financial Officer and (ii) one late Form 3 was filed by Mr. O’Connor.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

We describe below transactions and series of related transactions, since January 1, 2025, in which:

•	we or any of our subsidiaries have been or will be a participant;

•	the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and

•	any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of any class of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing a household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Other than as described below, there have not been, nor are there currently proposed, any transactions or series of transactions meeting these criteria to which we have been or will be a party, other than compensation and employment arrangements, which are described where required under “Executive Compensation.”

In this section, terms such as “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Xponential Fitness LLC with respect to transactions and events arising before February 24, 2020. Xponential Fitness LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Xponential Holdings LLC on February 24, 2020.

Amended LLC Agreement

In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, Xponential Fitness, Inc., Xponential Intermediate Holdings LLC (“Xponential Holdings LLC”) and each of the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members entered into the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Xponential Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which was thereafter further amended. Following the Reorganization Transactions, and in accordance with the terms of the Amended LLC Agreement, we operate our business through Xponential Holdings LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended LLC Agreement, so long as the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members continue to own any LLC Units or securities redeemable or exchangeable into shares of our Class A common stock, we will not, without the prior written consent of such holders, engage in any business activity other than the management and ownership of Xponential Fitness LLC or own any assets other than securities of Xponential Holdings LLC and/or any cash or other property or assets distributed by or otherwise received from Xponential Holdings LLC, unless we determine in good faith that such actions or ownership are in the best interest of Xponential Holdings LLC.

As the managing member of Xponential Holdings LLC, we have control over all of the affairs and decision making of Xponential Holdings LLC. As such, through our officers and directors, we are responsible for all operational and administrative decisions of Xponential Fitness LLC through our ownership of Xponential Holdings LLC and the day-to-day management of Xponential Fitness LLC’s business through our ownership of Xponential Holdings LLC. We will fund any dividends to our stockholders by causing Xponential Holdings LLC to make distributions to the holders of LLC Units and us, subject to the limitations imposed by our debt agreements.

Net profits and net losses of Xponential Holdings LLC are generally allocated to holders of LLC Units pro rata in accordance with the percentages of their respective ownership of LLC Units, though certain non-pro rata adjustments will be made to reflect tax depreciation, amortization and other allocations. The Amended LLC Agreement provides for, among other things, (i) distributions to us to to allow us to fund our tax obligation in respect of income allocated to us by reason of our ownership of Preferred Units and (ii) pro rata cash distributions to the holders of LLC Units for purposes of funding their tax obligations in respect of the taxable income of Xponential Holdings LLC that is allocated to them. Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on Xponential Holdings LLC’s estimate of the net taxable income of Xponential Holdings LLC allocable to the holders of LLC Units multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporate resident of California or New York, whichever is higher (taking into account the non-deductibility of certain expenses and the character of our income).

Except as otherwise determined by us, if at any time we issue a share of our Class A common stock, the net proceeds received by us with respect to such share, if any, shall be concurrently invested in Xponential Holdings LLC and Xponential Holdings LLC shall issue to us one LLC Unit (unless such share was issued by us solely to fund the purchase of an LLC Unit from a holder of LLC Units (upon an election by us to exchange such LLC Unit in lieu of redemption following a redemption request by such holder of LLC Units, in which case such net proceeds shall instead be transferred to the selling holder of LLC Units as consideration for such purchase, and Xponential Holdings LLC will not issue an additional LLC Unit to us)). Similarly, except as otherwise determined by us, (i) Xponential Holdings LLC will not issue any additional LLC Units to us unless we issue or sell an equal number of shares of our Class A common

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stock and (ii) should Xponential Holdings LLC issue any additional LLC Units to the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members or any other person, we will issue an equal number of shares of our Class B common stock to such Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members or any other person. Conversely, if at any time any shares of our Class A common stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by us, Xponential Holdings LLC will redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire an equal number of LLC Units held by us, upon the same terms and for the same price per security, as the shares of our Class A common stock are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by us. In addition, Xponential Holdings LLC will not effect any subdivision (by any unit split, unit distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the LLC Units unless it is accompanied by substantively identical subdivision or combination, as applicable, of each class of our common stock and we will not effect any subdivision or combination of any class of our common stock unless it is accompanied by a substantively identical subdivision or combination of the LLC Units.

Under the Amended LLC Agreement, the holders of LLC Units (other than us) have the right (subject to the terms of the Amended LLC Agreement) to require Xponential Holdings LLC to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for, at our election, newly issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the volume-weighted average market price of one share of our Class A common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, and a unit split to optimize the Company’s capital structure), provided the cash payment is funded from the net proceeds from a substantially contemporaneous offering of Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Amended LLC Agreement. If we decide to make a cash payment, the holder of an LLC Unit has the option to rescind its redemption request within a specified time period. Upon the exercise of the redemption right, the redeeming member will surrender its LLC Units to Xponential Holdings LLC for cancellation. The Amended LLC Agreement will require that we contribute cash or shares of our Class A common stock to Xponential Holdings LLC in exchange for newly issued LLC Units in Xponential Holdings LLC that will be issued to us in an amount equal to the number of LLC Units redeemed from the holders of LLC Units. Xponential Holdings LLC will then distribute the cash or shares of Class A common stock to such holder of an LLC Unit to complete the redemption. Additionally, in the event of a redemption request from a holder of LLC Units, we may, at our option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A common stock for LLC Units in lieu of such a redemption. Whether by redemption or exchange, we are obligated to ensure that at all times the number of LLC Units that we own equals the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by us (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities). Shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled on a one-for-one basis if we, following a redemption request from a holder of LLC Units, redeem or exchange LLC Units of such holder pursuant to the terms of the Amended LLC Agreement.

The Amended LLC Agreement provides that, in the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to our Class A common stock is proposed by us or our stockholders and approved by our Board of Directors or is otherwise consented to or approved by our Board of Directors, the holders of LLC Units will be permitted to participate in such offer by delivery of a notice of redemption or exchange that is effective immediately prior to the consummation of such offer. In the case of any such offer proposed by us, we are obligated to use our reasonable best efforts to enable and permit the holders of LLC Units to participate in such offer to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of shares of our Class A common stock without discrimination. In addition, we are obligated to use our reasonable best efforts to ensure that the holders of LLC Units may participate in each such offer without being required to redeem or exchange LLC Units.

The Amended LLC Agreement provides that, except for transfers: (i) to us, (ii) to certain permitted transferees, (iii) as a grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, LLC Units to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. or an affiliated entity or other financial institution approved by us, or (iv) approved by us in writing, subject to certain limitations, the LLC Units may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of. Subject to certain exceptions, Xponential Holdings LLC will indemnify all of its members, and their officers and other related parties, against all losses or expenses arising from claims or other legal proceedings in which such persons (in their capacity as such) may be involved or become subject to in connection with Xponential Holdings LLC’s business or affairs or the Amended LLC Agreement or any related document.

Xponential Holdings LLC may be dissolved upon (i) the determination by us to dissolve Xponential Holdings LLC or (ii) any other event which would cause the dissolution of Xponential Holdings LLC under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, unless Xponential Holdings LLC is continued in accordance with the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. Upon dissolution, Xponential Holdings LLC will be liquidated and the proceeds from any liquidation will be applied and distributed in the following manner: (a) first, to creditors (including creditors who are

TABLE OF CONTENTS

members or affiliates of members) in satisfaction of all of Xponential Holdings LLC’s liabilities (whether by payment or by making reasonable provision for payment of such liabilities, including the setting up of any reasonably necessary reserves), (b) and then to the members holding LLC Units in proportion to their vested LLC Units.

In December 2021, Xponential Holdings LLC and the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members amended the Amended LLC Agreement to remove the cash redemption option, except to the extent the cash proceeds to be used to make the redemption in cash are immediately available and are directly raised from a secondary offering of the Company’s equity securities.

Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”)

We acquired certain favorable tax attributes from the Blocker Companies in the Mergers and in connection with the IPO Contribution and the Class A-5 Unit Redemption. In addition, future taxable redemptions or exchanges by Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members of LLC Units for shares of our Class A common stock or cash and other transactions described herein are expected to result in favorable tax attributes for us.

These tax attributes would not be available to us in the absence of those transactions and are expected to reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future.

Upon the completion of our IPO, we entered into a TRA, pursuant to which we are generally required to pay to the TRA parties in the aggregate 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize as a result of (i) certain favorable tax attributes we acquired from the Blocker Companies in the Mergers (including net operating losses and the Blocker Companies’ allocable share of existing tax basis), (ii) increases in our allocable share of existing tax basis and tax basis adjustments that resulted or may result from (x) the IPO Contribution and the Class A-5 Unit Redemption, (y) future taxable redemptions and exchanges of LLC Units by Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members and (z) certain payments made under the TRA, and (iii) deductions in respect of interest under the TRA. These payment obligations are obligations of Xponential Fitness, Inc. and not of Xponential Holdings LLC.

The payment obligations under the TRA are our obligations, and we expect that the payments we will be required to make in respect of the past and possible future transactions described above under the TRA may be substantial. The actual tax basis adjustments that may result from future taxable redemptions or exchanges of LLC Units, as well as the amount and timing of the payments we are required to make under the TRA will depend on a number of factors, including the market value of our Class A common stock at the time of any such future redemptions or exchanges, the prevailing federal tax rates applicable to us over the life of the TRA (plus the assumed combined state and local tax rate) and the amount and timing of the taxable income that we generate in the future. Payments under the TRA are not conditioned on our existing owners’ continued ownership of us after our IPO.

Payments under the TRA will be based on the tax reporting positions we determine, and the Internal Revenue Service or another tax authority may challenge all or a part of the existing tax basis, tax basis increases, NOLs or other tax attributes subject to the TRA, and a court could sustain such challenge. The TRA parties will not reimburse us for any payments previously made if such tax basis, NOLs or other tax benefits are subsequently challenged by a tax authority and are ultimately disallowed, except that any excess payments made to a TRA party will be netted against future payments otherwise to be made to such TRA party under the TRA, if any, after our determination of such excess. In addition, the actual state or local tax savings we may realize may be different than the amount of such tax savings we are deemed to realize under the TRA, which will be based on an assumed combined state and local tax rate applied to our reduction in taxable income as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the tax attributes subject to the TRA. In both such circumstances, we could make payments under the TRA that are greater than our actual cash tax savings, and we may not be able to recoup those payments, which could negatively impact our liquidity. The TRA provides that (1) in the event that we breach any of our material obligations under the TRA or (2) if, at any time, we elect an early termination of the TRA, our obligations under the TRA (with respect to all LLC Units, whether or not LLC Units have been exchanged or acquired before or after such transaction) would accelerate and become payable in a lump sum amount equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits calculated based on certain assumptions, including that we would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the tax deductions, tax basis and other tax attributes subject to the TRA. The TRA also provides that, upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combination, or certain other changes of control, our or our successor’s obligations with respect to tax benefits would be based on certain assumptions, including that we or our successor would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the increased tax deductions and tax basis and other benefits covered by the TRA. As a result, upon a change of control, we could be required to make payments under the TRA that are greater than

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the specified percentage of our actual cash tax savings, which could negatively impact our liquidity. The change of control provisions in the TRA may result in situations where the Pre-IPO LLC Members have interests that differ from or are in addition to those of our other stockholders.

Finally, because we are a holding company with no operations of our own, our ability to make payments under the TRA depends on the ability of Xponential Holdings LLC to make distributions to us. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the TRA for any reason, such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid, which could negatively impact our results of operations and could also affect our liquidity in periods in which such payments are made. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section shall have the respective meanings given to them in the TRA.

Transactions with Snapdragon Spartan and Mark Grabowski

In March 2023, Spartan Fitness Holdings, LLC (“Spartan Fitness”), which currently owns and operates 152 Club Pilates studios, entered into a unit purchase agreement with Snapdragon Spartan Investco LP (the “Spartan SPV”), a special purpose vehicle controlled and managed by Mr. Grabowski, Chairman of our Board of Directors, pursuant to which the Spartan SPV agreed to invest an aggregate of approximately $30 million in the equity of Spartan Fitness. In addition, Mr. Grabowski invested an aggregate of $1.2 million as a limited partner in the Spartan SPV. Spartan Fitness intends to use approximately $15 million of the total investment from Spartan SPV to fund expansion of Club Pilates studios, among other concepts. Spartan Fitness also owns the rights to 73 Club Pilates licenses to open additional new units. We recorded franchise, equipment and marketing fund revenue aggregating $15 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 from studios owned by Spartan Fitness.

Indemnification

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of incorporation contains provisions limiting the liability of directors, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. In addition, in connection with our IPO, we agreed to enter into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive officers, which will require us to indemnify them.

Related Person Transactions Policy

We have adopted a written Related Person Transaction Policy, which sets forth our policy with respect to the review, approval, ratification and disclosure of all related person transactions by our Audit Committee. In accordance with its terms, our Audit Committee will have overall responsibility for the implementation of, and for compliance with the Related Person Transaction Policy.

For purposes of the Related Person Transaction Policy, a “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we were, are or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeded, exceeds or will exceed $120,000 and in which any related person (as defined in the Related Person Transaction Policy) had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “related person transaction” does not include any employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation resulting solely from that employment relationship that has been reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors.

The Related Person Transaction Policy requires that notice of a proposed related person transaction be provided to our legal department prior to entry into such transaction. If our legal department determines that such transaction is a related person transaction, the proposed transaction will be submitted to our Audit Committee for consideration at its next meeting. Under the Related Person Transaction Policy, our Audit Committee may approve only those related person transactions that are in, or not inconsistent with, our best interests. In the event that we become aware of a related person transaction that has not been previously reviewed, approved or ratified under the Related Person Transaction Policy and that is ongoing or is completed, the transaction will be submitted to our Audit Committee so that it may determine whether to ratify, rescind or terminate the related person transaction.

The Related Person Transaction Policy also provides that our Audit Committee review certain previously approved or ratified related person transactions that are ongoing to determine whether the related person transaction remains in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. Additionally, we will make periodic inquiries of our directors and executive officers with respect to any potential related person transaction of which they may be a party or of which they may be aware.

Fiscal year 2025 and 2024 audit fees include fees incurred in connection with the SEC investigation and fees incurred in connection with the special committee of the Board of Directors which was created in response to a notice received by us on May 7, 2024 of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California and the investigation by the SEC. Both of these matters are described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy (the “Pre-Approval Policy”) that sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor may be pre-approved. The Pre-Approval Policy generally provides that we will not engage Deloitte & Touche LLP to render any audit, audit-related, tax or permissible non-audit service unless the service is either (i) explicitly approved by the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”) or (ii) entered into pursuant to the pre-approval policies and procedures described in the Pre-Approval Policy (“general pre- approval”). Unless a type of service to be provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP has received general pre-approval under the Pre- Approval Policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee or by a designated member of the Audit Committee to whom the committee has delegated the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval. For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor should necessarily be determinative. On a periodic basis, the Audit Committee reviews and generally pre-approves the services (and related fee levels or budgeted amounts) that may be provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP without first obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of Xponential Fitness, Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and has discussed these financial statements with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has also received from, and discussed with, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm various communications that such independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with a formal written statement required by PCAOB Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence) describing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company, including the disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company.

Based on its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Stockholders intending to present a proposal at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, but not to include the proposal in our proxy statement, or to nominate a person for election as a director, must comply with the requirements set forth in our Amended and Restated Bylaws. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws require, among other things, that our Secretary receive written notice from the stockholder of record of their intent to present such proposal or nomination not earlier than January 20, 2027 (the 120th day prior to the anniversary date of the Annual Meeting) and not later than February 19, 2027 (the 90th day prior to the anniversary date of the Annual Meeting), assuming the Company does not change the date of the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders by more than 30 days before or 60 days after the anniversary of the Annual Meeting.

In addition to satisfying the requirements under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws as set forth in the prior paragraph, if a stockholder intends to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rules and to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees, the stockholder must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, which notice must be postmarked or transmitted electronically to us at the address stated above for recommendations on director candidates no later than 60 calendar days prior to the anniversary date of the Annual Meeting (for the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, no later than March 21, 2027). If the date of the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders is changed by more than 30 calendar days from such anniversary date, however, then the stockholder must provide notice by the later of 60 calendar days prior to the date of the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and the 10th calendar day following the date on which public announcement of the date of the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders is first made by the Company.

Votes Required

Effect of Votes Withheld/Abstentions and
Broker Non-Votes

Proposal 1: Election of two Class II Directors

The two director nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative (“FOR”) votes will be elected as directors

Votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors

Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2026

The affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon

Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal. Because ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal
