Choice Hotels disputes ‘false and misleading antitrust claims’ made by Wyndham

Choice Hotels International (CHH) issued an investor presentation and infographic disputing the false and misleading antitrust claims made by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (WH) in connection with Choice’s proposal to acquire Wyndham. The presentation has been filed with the U.S. SEC and is also available at CreateValueWithChoice.com. Patrick Pacious, President and CEO of Choice Hotels, said, “We are disappointed Wyndham is pushing this disinformation campaign. Their take on the antitrust risk on our proposed combination is misleading and further reflects the board’s apparent entrenchment. Wyndham’s characterization of the lodging industry’s competitive landscape and relevant regulatory criteria is incorrect. Our pro-competitive combination is well positioned to obtain approval, and we remain committed to completing it for the benefit of both companies’ franchisees, shareholders and guests.” ():(https://www.createvaluewithchoice.com/)
