Exhibit 10.24
THE PLANET FITNESS, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED
2018 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
Section 1.    Defined Terms
Exhibit A which is incorporated by reference, defines the terms used in the Plan and sets forth certain operational rules related to those terms.
Section 2.    Purpose of Plan
The Plan is intended to enable Eligible Employees of the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries to use payroll deductions to purchase shares of Stock, and thereby acquire an interest in the future of the Company. Initially, the Plan is not intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423. From and after such date as the Company, in its discretion determines that the Plan is able to satisfy the requirements under Section 423 and that it will operate the Plan in accordance with such requirements (such date, the “Section 423 Effective Date”), the Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 and will be operated and construed accordingly. Except as specifically provided under Section 4, and unless the Plan is amended pursuant to Section 20, the operative terms of the Plan as in effect on the Effective Date will remain the same on and after the Section 423 Effective Date.
Section 3.    Options to Purchase Stock
Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 18, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock available for purchase pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the Plan to Eligible Employees will be 1,000,000 shares. The shares of Stock to be delivered upon exercise of Options under the Plan may be either shares of authorized but unissued Stock, treasury Stock, or Stock acquired in an open-market transaction, all as the Board may determine. If any Option granted under the Plan expires or terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full or ceases for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, the unpurchased shares of Stock subject to such Option will again be available for purchase pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Plan. If, on an Exercise Date, the total number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be subject to Options granted under the Plan exceeds the number of shares of Stock then available under the Plan (after deduction of all shares of Stock for which Options have been exercised or are then outstanding), the Administrator shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Stock remaining available for the Option grants in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable. In such event, the Administrator shall give written notice to each Participant of such reduction of the number of Options affected thereby and shall similarly reduce the rate of payroll deductions, if necessary.
Section 4.    Eligibility
Subject to Section 15, and any exceptions and limitations set forth in Section 6, or as may be provided elsewhere in the Plan, each Employee who (a) has been continuously employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary for at least ninety (90) days as of the first day of any Option Period, (b) customarily works twenty (20) hours or more per week, (c) is not a “highly compensated employee” that is an “officer” of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and (d) satisfies the requirements set forth in the Plan will be an Eligible Employee. Notwithstanding the above, an Employee who is a citizen or resident of a foreign jurisdiction (without regard to whether such Employee is also a citizen of the United States or resident alien in the United States) shall not be an Eligible Employee with respect to the Plan if the grant of an Option to such Employee is prohibited under the laws of the Employee’s foreign jurisdiction or compliance with the laws of the foreign jurisdiction would cause the Plan or an Option to violate the requirements of Section 423, to the extent applicable. Furthermore, in no event may an Employee be granted an Option under the Plan if, immediately after the Option is granted, the Employee would own (or pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code would be deemed to own) stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of its Parent or Subsidiaries, if any. The Administrator may, for Option Periods that have not yet commenced, establish additional eligibility requirements not inconsistent with Section 423, to the extent applicable.

Section 5.    Option Periods
The Plan will generally be implemented by a series of “Option Periods”. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Option Periods will be the six-month periods commencing January 1 and ending June 30 and commencing July 1 and ending December 31 of each year. Each June 30 and December 31 will be an “Exercise Date”. The Administrator may change the Exercise Date and the commencement date, ending date and duration of the Option Periods to the extent permitted by Section 423, to the extent applicable.
Section 6.    Option Grant
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4 and Section 10 and the Maximum Share Limit, on the first day of an Option Period, each Participant will be automatically granted an Option to purchase shares of Stock on the Exercise Date, provided, however, that no Participant will be granted an Option under the Plan that permits the Participant’s right to purchase shares of Stock under the Plan and under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 in Fair Market Value (or such other maximum as may be prescribed from time to time by the Code) for each calendar year during which any Option granted to such Participant is outstanding at any time, as determined in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.
Section 7.    Method of Participation
To participate in an Option Period, an Eligible Employee must execute and deliver to the Administrator a payroll deduction and participation authorization form in accordance with the procedures prescribed by and in a form acceptable to the Administrator and, in so doing, the Eligible Employee will thereby become a Participant as of the first day of such Option Period. Such an Eligible Employee will remain a Participant with respect to subsequent Option Periods until his or her participation in the Plan is terminated as provided herein. Such payroll deduction and participation authorization must be delivered no later than ten (10) business days prior to the first day of an Option Period, or such other time as specified by the Administrator.
A Participant’s authorization will remain in effect for subsequent Option Periods unless the Participant files a new authorization not less than ten (10) business days prior to the first day of an Option Period (or such other time as specified by the Administrator) or the Participant’s Option is cancelled pursuant to Section 15 or Section 16. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, during an Option Period, payroll deduction authorizations may not be increased or decreased, except that a Participant may terminate his or her payroll deduction authorization by canceling his or her Option in accordance with Section 15.
Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, each payroll deduction authorization will request payroll deductions in an amount (expressed as a whole percentage) between one percent (1%) and ten percent (10%) of the employee’s total compensation per payroll period, including base pay or base salary, overtime, shift differentials, bonuses and commissions. If the Administrator determines that another limit shall be imposed on maximum payroll deductions hereunder or that eligible compensation shall be defined in a different manner, determinations shall be made in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation §1.423-2(f)(2), to the extent applicable.
All payroll deductions made pursuant to this Section 7 will be credited to the Participant’s Account. Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account will not be required to be set aside in trust or otherwise segregated from the Company’s general assets.
Section 8.    Method of Payment
A Participant must pay for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option with accumulated payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s Account.
Section 9.    Purchase Price
The Purchase Price of shares of Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option on each Exercise Date will be eighty-five percent (85%) (or such greater percentage specified by the Administrator to the extent permitted under Section 423, to the extent applicable) of one of the following, as selected by the Administrator prior to the commencement of the relevant Option Period:

(a) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date on which the Option was granted pursuant to Section 6 ( i.e., the first day of the Option Period);
(b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date on which the Option is deemed exercised pursuant to Section 10 ( i.e., the Exercise Date); or
(c) the lesser of (a) and (b).
Section 10.    Exercise of Options
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6 and this Section 10, with respect to each Option Period, on the applicable Exercise Date, each Participant will be deemed to have exercised his or her Option and the accumulated payroll deductions in the Participant’s Account will be applied to purchase the greatest number of whole shares of Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) that can be purchased with such Account balance at the applicable Purchase Price, provided, however, that no more than 2,500 shares of Stock may be purchased by a Participant on any Exercise Date, or such lesser number as the Administrator may prescribe in accordance with Section 423 (the “Maximum Share Limit”). As soon as practicable thereafter, shares of Stock so purchased will be placed, in book-entry form, into a record keeping account in the name of the Participant. No fractional shares will be purchased. Prior to the commencement of an Option Period, the Administrator shall determine whether any payroll deductions accumulated in a Participant’s Account that are not sufficient to purchase a full share will be retained in the Participant’s Account for the subsequent Option Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the Participant as provided in Section 15 hereof, or returned to the Participant or his or her designated beneficiary or legal representative, as applicable, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable after the Exercise Date or earlier withdrawal, as applicable.
Except as provided above with respect to fractional shares, any amount of payroll deductions in a Participant’s Account that are not used for the purchase of shares of Stock, whether because of the Participant’s withdrawal from participation in an Option Period or for any other reason, will be returned to the Participant or his or her designated beneficiary or legal representative, as applicable, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable after such withdrawal or other event, as applicable.
If the Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the Exercise Date would otherwise enable the Participant to purchase shares of Stock in excess of the limits specified in Section 6 or the Maximum Share Limit, the excess of the amount of the accumulated payroll deductions over the aggregate Purchase Price of the shares of Stock actually purchased will be returned to the Participant, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable after such Exercise Date.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Option may be exercised after 27 months from its grant date.
Section 11.    Restrictions on Transfer; Plan Accounts; Disqualifying Dispositions
By electing to participate in the Plan, each Participant agrees to be subject to the restrictions and covenants set forth in this Section 11.
Shares of Stock purchased under the Plan by a Participant may be subject to such restrictions on transfer, sale, pledge or alienation of such shares as determined by the Administrator.
Further, for such period determined by the Administrator, all shares of Stock purchased under the Plan by a Participant will be subject to a restriction prohibiting the transfer of such shares of Stock by the Participant from the account where such shares of Stock are initially held until such shares are sold through the Plan’s custodian and record keeper.
By electing to participate in the Plan, each Participant agrees to provide such information about any transfer of Stock acquired under the Plan that occurs within two years after the first day of the Option Period in which such Stock was acquired and within one year after the acquisition of such Stock as may be requested by the Company or any Designated Subsidiary in order to assist such entity in complying with applicable tax laws.
Section 12.    Interest

No interest will be payable on any amount held in the Account of any Participant.
Section 13.    Taxes
Payroll deductions will be made on an after-tax basis. The Administrator will have the right, as a condition to exercising an Option, to make such provision as it deems necessary to satisfy its obligations to withhold federal, state, local income or other taxes incurred by reason of the exercise of the Option and/or the purchase or disposition of shares of Stock under the Plan. In the Administrator’s discretion and subject to applicable law, such tax obligations may be paid in whole or in part by delivery of shares of Stock to the Company, including shares of Stock purchased under the Plan, valued at Fair Market Value, but not in excess of the minimum statutory amounts required to be withheld.
Section 14.    Section 409A; Limitation of Liability
Prior to the Section 423 Effective Date, the Plan and all Options are intended to be exempt from Section 409A as “short-term deferrals” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4), and following the Section 423 Effective Date, as “statutory stock options” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(5)(ii), and the Plan and the Options will be interpreted and administered accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, neither the Company nor the Administrator, nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company or the Administrator, will be liable to any Participant or other Person by reason of any acceleration of income, any additional tax, or any other tax or liability asserted by reason of the failure of the Plan or any Option to be exempt from or satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.
Section 15.    Cancellation and Withdrawal
A Participant who holds an Option under the Plan may cancel all (but not less than all) of his or her Option and terminate his or her payroll deduction authorization by revoking such authorization by written notice delivered to the Administrator, which, to be effective with respect to an upcoming Exercise Date, must be delivered not later than ten (10) business days prior to such Exercise Date (or such other time as specified by the Administrator). Upon such termination and cancellation, the balance in the Participant’s Account will be returned to the Participant, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable thereafter.
Section 16.    Termination of Employment; Death of Participant
Upon the termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company (or a Designated Subsidiary, as applicable) for any reason or the death of a Participant during an Option Period prior to an Exercise Date, or in the event the Participant ceases to qualify as an Eligible Employee, the Participant will cease to be a Participant, any Option held by him or her under the Plan will be deemed canceled, the balance in the Participant’s Account will be returned to the Participant (or his or her estate or designated beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death), without interest, as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, and the Participant will have no further rights under the Plan.
Section 17.    Equal Rights; Participant’s Rights Not Transferable
All Participants granted Options under the Plan will have the same rights and privileges consistent with the requirements set forth in Section 423, to the extent applicable. Any Option granted under the Plan will be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him or her and may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner. In the event any Participant violates or attempts to violate the terms of this Section 17, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, any Options held by him or her may be terminated by the Company and, upon the return to the Participant of the balance of his or her Account, without interest, all of the Participant’s rights under the Plan will terminate.
Section 18.    Change in Capitalization; Merger
In the event of any change in the outstanding Stock by reason of a stock dividend, split-up, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other capital change, the aggregate number and type of shares of Stock available under the Plan, the number and type of shares of Stock granted under any outstanding Options, the maximum number and type of shares of Stock purchasable under any outstanding Option and the purchase price per share of Stock under any outstanding Option will be appropriately adjusted, provided, however, that no such adjustment will be made unless the Administrator is satisfied that it will not constitute a modification of the rights granted under the 

Plan or otherwise disqualify the Plan as an employee stock purchase plan under the provisions of Section 423, to the extent applicable.
In the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the Stock or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a merger or similar transaction in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or that results in the acquisition of the Company by another person, the Administrator may, in its discretion, (a) if the Company is merged with or acquired by another corporation, provide that each outstanding Option will be assumed or exchanged for a substitute Option granted by the acquiror or successor corporation or by a parent or subsidiary of the acquiror or successor corporation, (b) cancel each outstanding Option and return the balances in Participants’ Accounts to the Participants, and/or (c) pursuant to Section 20, terminate the Option Period on or before the date of the proposed sale, merger or similar transaction.
Section 19.    Administration of Plan; Separate Offerings; Sub-Plans
The Plan will be administered by the Administrator, which will have the right to determine any questions that may arise regarding the interpretation and application of the provisions of the Plan and to make, administer, and interpret such rules and regulations as it deems necessary or advisable. All determinations and decisions by the Administrator regarding the interpretation or application of the Plan will be final and binding on all Participants.
The Administrator may specify the manner in which Employees are to provide notices and payroll deduction authorizations. Notwithstanding any requirement of “written notice” herein, the Administrator may permit Employees to provide notices and payroll deduction authorizations electronically.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Plan to the contrary, consistent with the requirements of Section 423, to the extent applicable, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of the Plan, or an offering, and/or provide for separation offerings under the Plan in order to, among other things, reflect the impact of local law outside of the United States as applied to one or more Eligible Employees and may, where appropriate, establish one or more sub-plans to reflect to such amended provisions.
Section 20.    Amendment and Termination of Plan
The Board reserves the right at any time or times to amend the Plan to any extent and in any manner it may deem advisable, by action of the Board, provided, however, that any amendment that would be treated as the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 423, to the extent applicable, will have no force or effect unless approved by the shareholders of the Company within 12 months before or after its adoption.
The Plan may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company, by action of the Board. In connection therewith, the Board may provide, in its sole discretion, either that outstanding Options will be exercisable either at the Exercise Date for the applicable Option Period or on such earlier date as the Board may specify (in which case such earlier date will be treated as the Exercise Date for the applicable Option Period), or that the balance of each Participant’s Account will be returned to the Participant, without interest.
Section 21.    Approvals
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligation of the Company to issue and deliver shares of Stock under the Plan will be subject to the approval required of any governmental authority in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale or transfer of said shares of Stock, to any requirements of any national securities exchange applicable thereto, and to compliance by the Company with other applicable legal requirements in effect from time to time.
Section 22.    Participants’ Rights as Shareholders and Employees
A Participant will have no rights or privileges as a shareholder of the Company and will not receive any dividends in respect of any shares of Stock covered by an Option granted hereunder until such Option has been exercised, full payment has been made for such shares of Stock, and the shares of Stock have been issued to the Participant. Nothing contained in the provisions of the Plan will be construed as giving to any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary or as interfering with the right of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary to discharge, promote, demote or otherwise re-assign any Employee from one position to another within the Company any Designated Subsidiary at any time.

Section 24.    Governing Law
The Plan will be governed by and interpreted consistently with the laws of the State of Delaware, except as may be necessary to comply with applicable requirements of federal law. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under the Plan, such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of New Hampshire, or the federal courts for the United States for the District of New Hampshire, and no other courts.
Section 25.    Effective Date and Term
Subject to the approval by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting, the Plan will become effective on May 2, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) and no rights will be granted hereunder after the earliest to occur of (a) the Plan’s termination by the Company, (b) the issuance of all shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan or (c) the day before the ten (10)-year anniversary of the date the Company’s shareholders approve the Plan.

Planet Fitness, Inc.
Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Program
Dated as of February 22, 2022

Each individual who provides services to Planet Fitness, Inc. (the “Company”) as a director, other than a director who is employed by the Company or a subsidiary (a “Non-Employee Director”), shall be entitled to receive the following amounts of compensation, subject to the limitations on annual Non-Employee Director compensation set forth in the Company’s 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as it may be amended from time to time, the “2015 Plan”):
						
	Type of
Compensation	Amount and
Form of Payment
	Annual cash retainer	$70,000
	Equity retainer	Annual grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a grant date fair value of $115,000 (with the number of RSUs to be granted based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the NYSE on the grant date or, if the grant date is not a trading day, the last preceding date on which the Company’s Class A common stock was traded, rounded down to the nearest whole share); such RSUs to be granted on the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders and to vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service as a member of the board of directors of the Company through such date.

A Non-Employee Director whose appointment or election to the board of directors of the Company is effective at a time other than the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders may be eligible to receive a grant of RSUs upon his or her appointment or election, as applicable, as determined, and on such terms and conditions established, by the board of directors of the Company or the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company, in its respective discretion.
	Additional annual cash retainer for board of directors chair	$55,000
	Additional annual cash retainer for audit committee chair and members	$25,000 (chair); $12,500 (members)
	Additional annual cash retainer for compensation committee chair and members	$20,000 (chair); $10,000 (members)
	Additional annual cash retainer for nominating and corporate governance committee chair	$15,000 (chair); $7,500 (member)

With respect to a fiscal year, Non-Employee Directors may elect to receive fully vested shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in lieu of cash retainers.  Such election shall be made prior to the beginning of the applicable fiscal year, except that Non-Employee Directors appointed after adoption of this Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (this “Policy”) may elect to receive equity in lieu of cash retainers at the time of appointment.  Equity granted in lieu of cash retainers will be granted in arrears on a quarterly basis on the first business day following the end of such quarter, with a fair value equal to the amount of the applicable cash retainers that would have been paid and the number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock granted based upon the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the NYSE on the grant date or, if the grant date is not a trading day, the last preceding date on which the Company’s Class A common stock was traded, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

In addition, Non-Employee Directors will be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable and customary expenses incurred in connection with attendance at board of director and committee meetings, in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time.  
All cash fees shall be payable in arrears on a quarterly basis.  Any cash and/or shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that become payable or deliverable to a Non-Employee Director pursuant to this Policy are subject to the Non-Employee Director’s continued service as a member of the board of directors of the Company through the date of payment. Non-Employee Directors who resign or are removed prior to completion of the full term of their appointment shall forfeit any and all payments of, or entitlements to, cash and/or shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that he or she would otherwise be entitled to receive, including, for the avoidance of doubt, those that would otherwise have been paid or delivered at the end of the quarter of such resignation or removal.   
For the avoidance of doubt, directors who are employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries will not receive compensation for their service as a director, other than reimbursement for reasonable and customary expenses incurred in connection with attendance at board of director and committee meetings, in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time.  
The cash retainers, any equity retainers and any shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock described in this Policy shall be paid or granted, as applicable, to each Non-Employee Director who is then in service on the applicable payment or grant date automatically and without further action of the board of directors of the Company (or any committee thereof), unless such Non-Employee Director declines the receipt of such cash or equity compensation by prior written notice to the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, the initial grant of any equity retainer to a Non-Employee Director whose appointment or election to the board of directors of the Company is effective at a time other than the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders shall be made in the discretion of the board of directors of the Company or the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company and shall not be automatic.
The board of directors of the Company (or the compensation committee thereof) may amend this Policy at any time.
