On February 24, 2026, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the several initial purchasers named in Schedule I thereto (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), in connection with the offer and sale of $650 million aggregate
principal amount of the Company’s 5.625% Notes due 2033 (the “Notes”) in a private offering (the “Offering”) to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in the United States, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, together with customary closing conditions. Under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities. The Offering is expected to close on February 27, 2026, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under its term loan A and under its revolving
credit facility, to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes.
This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) shall not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy or an offer to purchase or sell
any securities. No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offer, or solicitation to buy, if at all, will be made only by means of a confidential offering
memorandum. This Current Report does not constitute a notice of repayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
A copy of the press release announcing the launch of the Offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and a copy of the press release
