Choice Hotels offers nearly $8B for rival Wyndham Hotels & Resorts as travel booms_我的网站

A |     Choice Hotels International is asking shareholders of rival chain Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to sign off on a buyout worth nearly $8 billion after Wyndham broke off negotiations, the company said Tuesday. “A few weeks ago, Choice and Wyndham were in a negotiable range on price and consideration, and both parties have a shared recognition of the value opportunity this potential transaction represents, said Choice CEO Patrick Pacious. ”We were therefore surprised and disappointed that Wyndham decided to disengage. While we would have preferred to continue discussions with Wyndham in private, following their unwillingness to proceed, we feel there is too much value for both companies’ franchisees, shareholders, associates, and guests to not continue pursuing this transaction."Wyndham did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Tuesday. Choice, based in Rockville, Maryland, is offering $49.50 in cash and 0.324 shares of Choice common stock for each Wyndham share they own, a 20% premium to Wyndham's last closing price. Choice's proposal allows Wyndham shareholders to choose either cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock. The proposal also includes giving Wyndham two seats on the combined company’s board. The deal has a total value of about $7.8 billion. When including debt, it's valued at approximately $9.8 billion. Choice first approached Wyndham in April, offering $80.00 per share, with 40% of that cash and 60% Choice stock, but was rejected, Choice said. It bumped the offer to $85 per share, then to $90 per share as the board chairs and CEOs of each company met. But, according to Choice, Wyndham voiced concerns about regulatory approval in September and also the value of Choice stock. Choice operates about 7,500 hotels in 46 countries. It's seeking to absorb a much larger chain in Wyndham, which operates nearly 9,300 hotels under a host of brands including Days Inn, Howard Johnson, La Quinta, Ramada, Super 8 and Travelodge. Wyndham, based in Parsippany, New Jersey, posted a profit of $355 million last year with revenue of $1.5 billion. Like most hotels, it has benefited from booming travel in recent years. The uptick in travel has lead to snarled airports and pilot shortages. That has cooled a bit this year as people become more cost conscious about their trips due to inflation and after spending more freely for more than a year. Wyndham's shares are up more than 170% since it stock price tumbled close to $25 each at the start of the pandemic. Shares of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc. jumped more than 15% before the opening bell Tuesday, to $82.40. Shares of Choice Hotels International Inc. fell more than 2%.。    人民网北京4月27日电 （记者杜燕飞）为提升存款继承便利度，便利群众办理小额存款继承，近日，国家金融监督管理总局、中国人民银行联合发布《关于优化已故存款人小额存款提取有关要求的通知》（以下简称《通知》），自今年6月1日起正式实施。长期以来，根据相关文件规定，继承人提取已故亲属存款，须提交由公证机构出具的继承公证书，银行凭此公证书办理过户或支付手续费。2021年1月，原银保监会、中国人民银行联合印发《关于简化提取已故存款人小额存款相关事宜的通知》（以下简称18号文），取消了第一顺序继承人、公证遗嘱指定的继承人或受遗赠人提取已故存款人1万元以内存款的公证要求，并允许银行在1万元至5万元之间上调限额。国家金融监督管理总局、中国人民银行有关司局负责人表示，18号文出台以来，小额存款提取效率明显提高，群众负担切实减轻。同时，从多渠道了解到，存款继承和小额存款提取业务中还存在一些有待完善和明确的问题。为此，《通知》对18号文进行了优化，将简化提取的账户限额由最低1万元统一提高至5万元。考虑地区和机构差异，允许农村中小银行延后至2025年底达到该要求。能够简化提取的不仅仅只是存款。《通知》扩大了简化提取范围，将已故存款人的黄金积存产品以及国债、代销理财产品纳入简化提取范围。《通知》要求，对小额存款提取业务中常见的申请人提交的材料不齐全或不符合要求等情况，银行要一次性告知申请人相关要求。值得注意的是，《通知》明确，银行可以应第一顺序继承人要求，提供已故存款人死亡后以及死亡前6个月内的账户交易明细。对此，上述负责人表示，已故存款人银行账户交易明细记载着已故存款人生前的部分个人信息，并且可能涉及个人隐私，应当谨慎对待。但在现实中，也存在继承人在特定情形下查询已故存款人生前交易明细的合理需求。继承人合法、正当的查询需求应当得到满足。“为兼顾个人信息保护和继承人查询需求，依据《民法典》《个人信息保护法》等法律规定，经征求多方意见，我们在《通知》中明确了查询账户交易明细有关要求，以满足特定情形下的查询需求。为避免非必要、无限制查询，保护已故存款人个人信息和隐私权，《通知》对查询申请人和查询时限等作出规定。”上述负责人表示。

B | 此外，《通知》还明确丧葬费、抚恤金不计入5万元账户限额，可以全额简化提取。申请人可以通过适当方式，表明账户中资金属于丧葬费、抚恤金。银行通过核查交易信息和资金来源、申请人签署承诺书等方式确认资金性质，在保障资金安全的前提下，办理简化提取。现实中，存在已故存款人账户汇入丧葬费、抚恤金的情形。此前没有关于丧葬费、抚恤金提取的明确规定。“考虑到丧葬费、抚恤金在性质上与已故存款人生前存款不同，为便利群众，《通知》明确丧葬费、抚恤金不计入5万元账户限额，可以全额简化提取。申请人可以通过适当方式，表明账户中资金属于丧葬费、抚恤金。”上述负责人表示，银行通过核查交易信息和资金来源、申请人签署承诺书等方式确认资金性质，在保障资金安全的前提下，办理简化提取。
