<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">NEW YORK, NY (August 9, 2018) &#150;&nbsp;<U>Weight Watchers International, Inc.</U>&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<U>WTW</U>) (&#147;WW&#148;) today announced that Julie Rice,
Partner at WeWork and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-founder</FONT> of SoulCycle, will join the WW Board of Directors. Sacha Lainovic, who has served as a director since WW was acquired by Artal Luxembourg S.A. on September&nbsp;29, 1999, will
step down from his position on the Board effective immediately. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">&#147;On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank Sacha for his commitment and
dedication to Weight Watchers over the past 19 years. His contributions and insights have been invaluable to the company&#146;s growth and evolution,&#148; said Raymond Debbane, Chairman of the Board of Directors. &#147;It is a pleasure to welcome
Julie Rice to the Board. She brings tremendous expertise and new perspectives that I believe will benefit the company as we continue to evolve our business and our brand.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Ms.&nbsp;Rice is currently serving as a Partner at WeWork and is a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-founder</FONT> of SoulCycle, a fitness company that
revolutionized indoor cycling. Ms.&nbsp;Rice served as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Co-Chief</FONT> Executive Officer from 2006 to 2015, Chief Talent and Creative Officer from 2015 to 2016 and as a member of the board of directors from 2010 to
2018. She also <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-founded</FONT> LifeShop in 2016, an advising and investing company through which she helped Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan launch the women&#146;s social club, The Wing. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">&#147;Community and wellness are two important themes that are interconnected and woven throughout my professional career. When looking at the brands I&#146;ve been
closest to, SoulCycle isn&#146;t just about fitness and WeWork isn&#146;t just about space. And Weight Watchers certainly isn&#146;t just about food or weight management. Community and wellness are at the heart of these brands, and I am energized to
join the board of Weight Watchers at such an inspiring time in the company&#146;s evolution,&#148; commented Ms.&nbsp;Rice. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="center">### </P>
