Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;assume,&#8221; or similar words of futurity. All statements other than historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s ability to finance the proposed transaction with Wyndham; Choice&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s revenue, expenses, 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, revenue per available room, Choice&#8217;s ability to benefit from any rebound in travel demand, and Choice&#8217;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. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These and other risk factors that may affect Choice&#8217;s or Wyndham&#8217;s operations are discussed in detail in the applicable company&#8217;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the applicable company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form <span style="white-space:nowrap">10-K</span> and Quarterly Reports on Form <span style="white-space:nowrap">10-Q.</span> These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this publication or as of the date to which they refer, and Choice assumes 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. </p> <p style="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman;font-weight:bold">Additional Information </p> <p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This communication relates to a proposal that Choice has made for a business combination transaction with Wyndham, the exchange offer which Choice, through WH Acquisition Corp., its wholly owned subsidiary, has made to Wyndham stockholders and the nomination of nominees for Wyndham&#8217;s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the &#8220;Wyndham 2024 Annual Meeting&#8221;).

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Information set forth herein includes &#147;forward-looking statements&#148;. Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;forecast,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;project,&#148;
&#147;assume,&#148; or similar words of futurity. All statements other than historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management&#146;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&#146;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&#146;s ability to finance the proposed transaction with Wyndham; Choice&#146;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&#146;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&#146;s revenue, expenses, 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,
revenue per available room, Choice&#146;s ability to benefit from any rebound in travel demand, and Choice&#146;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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These and other risk factors that
may affect Choice&#146;s or Wyndham&#146;s operations are discussed in detail in the applicable company&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the applicable company&#146;s Annual Report on Form <FONT
