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).
