<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>ROCKVILLE, Md., October</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;25, 2023</B> &#151; Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) (the &#147;Company&#148; or
&#147;Choice&#148;), today called upon the board of directors of Wyndham Hotels&nbsp;&amp; Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: WH) (&#147;Wyndham&#148;) to engage in good faith discussions so that shareholders of both companies can benefit from the compelling
combination. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Patrick Pacious, President and Chief Executive Officer of Choice, said, &#147;We appreciate the positive feedback we have received since
first making our proposal public, particularly the support from both companies&#146; shareholders and franchisees. Through our conversations with these stakeholders, we are encouraged by their clear understanding of the natural fit of the two
businesses and belief in the combined company&#146;s ability to drive greater shareholder returns, franchisee profitability, and strategic benefits. They, and others, share our perspective that a transaction is pro-competitive, has a clear path to
completion, and creates a combined company with a strong free cash flow profile to support both rapid deleveraging and investments for growth.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Pacious continued, &#147;We respect Wyndham&#146;s desire to achieve the best outcome for its shareholders, but that can&#146;t happen if Wyndham
unilaterally ends our discussions. Both companies&#146; shareholders have expressed to us their understanding of the tremendous value this combination could deliver. As recently as a few weeks ago, Wyndham prepared a critical information request
list, on which both parties broadly aligned, to help Choice and Wyndham close any remaining value gaps. Wyndham then disengaged before any information was exchanged. We therefore strongly urge Wyndham to return to the discussions. Choice is ready to
move expeditiously to negotiate binding terms, including mechanisms to provide market standard protections for Wyndham shareholders.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Choice
Management&#146;s Track Record of Value Creation </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The compelling proposal of $90.00 per share represents a 14.9x multiple of Wyndham&#146;s consensus
2023 EBITDA estimates, a forward multiple that Wyndham has never achieved absent COVID disruptions. Furthermore, the consideration mix would allow Wyndham shareholders to both realize immediate value creation and share in the significant upside
potential of the combined company. The $150&nbsp;million synergy opportunity alone is expected to translate into more than $2&nbsp;billion in shareholder value creation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Choice management team has a strong history of shareholder value creation through organic growth and acquisitions. Since 2017, the Choice management team
has delivered market-leading revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth CAGR of approximately 10% and successfully integrated the Radisson and WoodSpring Suites acquisitions. Additionally, the Choice management team has driven strong stock price performance
compared to Wyndham&#146;s performance since its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> in 2018, generating three times the value for its shareholders. Choice&#146;s stock has historically traded at a higher multiple of approximately three
turns compared to Wyndham, which would allow Wyndham shareholders to participate in incremental value creation following the completion of the transaction. From 2019 to 2022, Choice&#146;s unique strategy generated Adjusted EBITDA growth of 28%
compared to Wyndham&#146;s 6%. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Choice believes its existing offer rewards Wyndham shareholders well in excess of the present value that could be achieved
through a rational Wyndham standalone plan. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Transaction is <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Pro-Competitive</FONT> and has a Clear Path to Completion
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The combined company would enhance competition against larger industry participants with strong balance sheets and an established market presence
across multiple segments. Many of these competitors have launched brands focused on the Economy and Midscale segments and are actively marketing to hotel owners in those segments. Large, branded alternatives for hotel owners and guests are already
present across the Economy and Midscale segments, including Best Western, Extended Stay America, G6 (Motel 6), Oyo, Red Roof Inn, and Sonesta, which would continue to provide multiple options to both current franchisees or hotel owners considering
adopting a brand. Many hotel owners choose to be independent and in fact, independent hotels comprise nearly <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of the Economy segment and close to 40% of the Midscale segment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Significantly, unlike businesses with centralized pricing, all Choice and Wyndham hotel franchisees have complete autonomy to set their own prices. This
consumer-friendly, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pro-competitive</FONT> structure would continue following transaction close. Franchisees, most of whom are small business entrepreneurs, are expected to receive significant benefits from the
expanded system size and synergies that a Choice-Wyndham combination would provide. The proposed transaction is expected to lower franchisee costs by increasing direct bookings and create a rewards program on par with the top two global hotel
rewards programs. Reducing reliance on third-party distribution channels and increasing rewards member guests has been a proven formula for improving hotel profitability. For these reasons, we were not surprised that many of our and Wyndham&#146;s
franchisees have expressed their support for the proposed transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Strong Pro Forma Financial Profile of Combined Company </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The proposed transaction combines two complementary hotel franchising companies, accelerating opportunities for sustained long-term growth. The combined
company&#146;s asset-light franchising model generates durable and predictable free cash flow that provides financial strength and stability for stakeholders. The combined company&#146;s significant Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and high free
cash flow is expected to support <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pro-competitive</FONT> growth investments. On a pro forma synergized basis, the combined company is expected to generate pro forma free cash flow of approximately $1&nbsp;billion in
2024, which would enable the combined company to rapidly reduce leverage while investing for growth. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additional materials regarding Choice&#146;s
proposal are available on the Company&#146;s investor relations page, <U>investor.choicehotels.com</U>, and at <U>CreateValueWithChoice.com</U>. </P>

diligence, transition and transaction costs, and gains/losses on sale/disposal and impairment of assets primarily related to hotel ownership and development activities to allow for period-over-period comparison of ongoing core operations before the
impact of these discrete and infrequent charges. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization</U>: Adjusted EBITDA

industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company&#146;s capital structure, debt levels, and credit ratings, and share based compensation expense (benefit) is dependent on the
design of compensation plans in place and the usage of them. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense and share based compensation expense (benefit) on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary
because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies.
These measures also exclude depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets or amortizing franchise-agreement acquisition
costs. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative asset costs and estimated lives and, therefore, the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Mark-to-market</FONT></FONT> adjustments on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-qualified</FONT> retirement-plan investments recorded in SG&amp;A are excluded from EBITDA, as the company accounts for these investments in
accordance with accounting for deferred-compensation arrangements when investments are held in a rabbi trust and invested. Changes in the fair value of the investments are recognized as both compensation expense in SG&amp;A and other gains and
losses. As a result, the changes in the fair value of the investments do not have a material impact on the company&#146;s net income. Surpluses and deficits generated from reimbursable revenues from franchised and managed properties are excluded, as
the company&#146;s franchise and management agreements require these revenues to be used exclusively for expenses associated with providing franchise and management services, such as central reservation and property-management systems, hotel
employee and operating costs, reservation delivery and national marketing and media advertising. Franchised and managed property owners are required to reimburse the company for any deficits generated from these activities and the company is
required to spend any surpluses generated in future periods. Since these activities will be managed to break-even over time, quarterly or annual surpluses and deficits have been excluded from the measurements utilized to assess the company&#146;s
operating performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>RevPAR</U>: RevPAR is calculated by dividing hotel room revenue by the total number of room nights available to guests for a
given period. Management considers RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of hotel performance and therefore company royalty and system revenues as it provides a metric correlated to the two key drivers of operations at a hotel: occupancy and ADR. The
company calculates RevPAR based on information as reported by its franchisees. To accurately reflect RevPAR, the company may revise its prior years&#146; operating statistics for the most current information provided. RevPAR is also a useful
indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>Additional Information </U></B></P>
