<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">New York, NY, November&nbsp;20, 2017 &#151; Weight Watchers International, Inc. (NYSE: WTW) (the &#147;Company&#148;) announced today that it has priced
$300.0&nbsp;million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.625% senior notes due 2025 (the &#147;Notes&#148;) in a private offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;). The
sale of the Notes is expected to close on November&nbsp;29, 2017, subject to the substantially concurrent completion of the other elements of the Refinancing (as defined below) and other closing conditions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes will be the senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will initially be guaranteed by the Company&#146;s subsidiaries that will also guarantee
its proposed new senior secured credit facilities. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes, together with expected borrowings from a proposed new term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of
$1,540.0&nbsp;million, $25.0&nbsp;million of expected borrowings under a new $150.0&nbsp;million revolving credit facility (as described below) and an estimated $120.2&nbsp;million of cash on hand, to repay all amounts outstanding under its existing
credit facilities, terminate such facilities, and pay related fees and expenses (together with the refinancing of the existing revolving credit facility, the &#147;Refinancing&#148;). As previously announced, the Company also intends to enter into
its new $150.0&nbsp;million revolving credit facility to refinance its existing $50.0&nbsp;million revolving credit facility. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes and related
guarantees are being offered in a private placement, solely to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or outside the United States to
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction
and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign security laws. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes, nor shall there be any sales of the Notes in any
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This press release is being issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, Rule 135c
under the Securities Act. </P>
