In a surprising turn of events, Choice Hotels International Inc. has decided to withdraw its slate of nominees for election to Wyndham Hotels & Resorts' board of directors, effectively ending its hostile takeover bid.
Fierce Battle Comes to a Close
Choice Hotels' decision comes after months of intense negotiations and exchange offers. Despite repeated attempts to engage in constructive discussions with Wyndham, Choice Hotels faced staunch resistance from its competitor.

Contentious Offers and Rejections
Choice Hotels' most recent offer, which included $49.50 in cash and 0.324 shares of Choice common stock per Wyndham share, failed to sway Wyndham's board.
Wyndham's Rejection
Wyndham rejected Choice's offers, citing concerns about undervaluation and the associated regulatory risks, including a recent second request from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Choice Hotels is represented by Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, with Axinn Veltrop & Harkrider LLP advising on antitrust matters. Meanwhile, Wyndham is advised by Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP.

Leading the legal teams, Kirkland & Ellis LLP's partners Daniel Wolf and Shaun Mathew played pivotal roles in Wyndham's defense strategy.
With Choice Hotels' retreat, the hospitality industry awaits to see what strategic moves both companies will make next.
