Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP

Pardus Capital Management Wins Seats on Bally Total Fitness' Board
As reported by today's Daily Deal, Paul, Weiss client Pardus Capital Management LP succeeded in moving Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation closer to a sale by winning a proxy contest to elect three candidates onto the company's nine-person board. At Bally's annual meeting Thursday, Pardus' three nominees received a 60 percent vote from the outstanding shares, which was approximately 85 percent of the votes cast and sufficient for election. In addition, Bally's proposed 2006 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, which was intended to give a select group of Bally employees greater stock or option grants, was defeated after opposition by our client, who is Bally's largest stockholder. Following months of demands to reform its corporate governance practices and restore investor confidence and the company to a position of strength and prosperity by Pardus and some of Bally's other investors, the ailing healthclub chain hired J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. in December to work with The Blackstone Group to explore a sale or other strategic transaction to maximize value for Bally's stockholders. The Paul, Weiss team included corporate partners Jeff Marell and Carl Reisner, associates David Harris and Serena Peck and paralegals William Keller and Elisa Perry; litigation partners Lew Clayton and Robyn Tarnofsky, associate Doris Bernhardt and paralegal Paul Robichaux; employee benefits partner Michael Segal and associate Brooke Monahan.
