Forward-looking Statements
Information set forth herein includes “forward-looking statements.” Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “should,” “will,” “forecast,” “plan,” “project,” “assume,” or similar words of futurity. All statements other than historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, assumptions, and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to management. Such statements include, but are not limited to, the ultimate outcome of any possible transaction between Choice and Wyndham (including the possibility that the parties will not agree to pursue a business combination transaction or that the terms of any definitive agreement will be materially different from those described); uncertainties as to whether Wyndham will cooperate with Choice regarding the proposed transaction; Choice’s ability to consummate the proposed transaction with Wyndham; the conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction, including the receipt of any required shareholder approvals and any required regulatory approvals; Choice’s ability to finance the proposed transaction with Wyndham; Choice’s indebtedness, including the substantial indebtedness Choice expects to incur in connection with the proposed transaction with Wyndham and the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay such debt; the possibility that Choice may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies within the expected timeframes or at all and to successfully integrate Wyndham’s operations with those of Choice, including the Choice rewards program; the possibility that Choice may be unable to achieve the benefits of the proposed transaction for its franchisees, associates, investors and guests within the expected timeframes or at all, including that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; that operating costs and business disruption (without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with associates, guests or franchisees) may be greater than expected following the proposed transaction or the public announcement of the proposed transaction; and that the retention of certain key employees may be difficult. Such statements may relate to projections of Choice’s revenue, expenses, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, earnings, debt levels, ability to repay outstanding indebtedness, payment of dividends, repurchases of common stock and other financial and operational measures, including occupancy and open hotels, RevPAR, and Choice’s liquidity, among other matters. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors.
Several factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the company to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, changes to general, domestic and foreign economic conditions, including access to liquidity and capital; the ability to realize the anticipated long-term benefits and synergies of the acquisition of Radisson Hotels Americas to the extent anticipated; changes in consumer demand and confidence, including consumer discretionary spending and the demand for travel, transient and group business; the timing and amount of future dividends and share repurchases; future domestic or global outbreaks of epidemics, pandemics (including COVID-19) or contagious diseases or fear of such outbreaks, and the related impact on the global hospitality industry, particularly but not exclusively the U.S. travel market; changes in law and regulation applicable to the travel, lodging or franchising industries, including with respect to the status of the company’s relationship with employees of our franchisees; foreign currency

These and other risk factors that may affect Choice’s or Wyndham’s operations are discussed in detail in the applicable company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the applicable company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Choice Hotels Urges Wyndham Stockholders to Tender Their Shares
Before the March 8th Deadline
Wyndham Stockholders Need to Send a Clear Message to the Wyndham Board
to Engage Constructively
NORTH BETHESDA, Md., Mar. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) (“Choice”) urges the stockholders of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: WH) (“Wyndham”) to tender their shares into the exchange offer ahead of its expiration at 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, March 8, 2024. Tendering shares will send a clear message to Wyndham’s board of directors to constructively engage with Choice to reach a consensual agreement on the terms of a transaction. Depending on participation, Choice intends to either extend or terminate the exchange offer and will evaluate next steps related to its nomination of a slate of independent directors for election to the board of directors of Wyndham.
Choice launched the exchange offer in December to take the proposed transaction directly to Wyndham’s stockholders and begin the regulatory approval process. Over the past several months, Choice has made significant progress addressing regulatory requests and offered above-market regulatory protections, including a significant reverse termination fee and ticking fee. Choice has also spoken to the holders of a significant number of Wyndham’s shares, and the resounding feedback from stockholders is that they would like to see Choice and Wyndham genuinely explore a value-maximizing transaction in a constructive manner. Unfortunately, Wyndham has been unwilling to provide any feedback on specific transaction terms that its board might find acceptable.
Choice continues to believe its current offer reflects a fulsome value, and the proposed value of $90 per share1 represents a multiple far in excess of what Wyndham has been able to achieve as a stand-alone business. In addition, and as Choice has stated before, Wyndham has refused to provide Choice access to any information that may have resulted in Choice’s ability to improve its offer. While Choice is committed to the transaction and would like to work expeditiously to deliver a value-maximizing transaction to Wyndham stockholders, Wyndham’s recent quarterly results give Choice limited confidence in further enhancing its proposal without proper due diligence.
Choice remains steadfast in its belief that a combination offers a compelling value to all stockholders, benefits franchisees and guests, and will receive regulatory approvals within a one-year customary timeframe. As a result, Choice believes that Wyndham stockholders should tender their shares to send a clear message to Wyndham’s board to engage in good faith to reach a value maximizing transaction.
It should be noted that tendering shares into the offer does not obligate Wyndham stockholders to accept the current Choice offer. Holders may immediately withdraw any shares tendered upon notice of an extension, which Choice is required to publish not later than 9:00 a.m. ET on March 11, 2024, if Choice decides to extend the offer.
