飛翼欲找回贏波「節奏」_我的网站

happy together

一 | 北京時間週四上晝，WNBA常規賽好戲連場，其中飛翼主場迎戰節奏在較早時段開波。 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%.。兩隊近期都陷入連敗泥潭，不過對比各自當前處境可看出飛翼的實力明顯在節奏之上，因此看好飛翼贏球止頹。

    　　今季強勢崛起的飛翼想以有利位置開啟季後賽征程，無奈最近一波三連敗讓她們在競爭形勢裡暫時落於被動，當務之急是贏球提振士氣。此番一大利好，飛翼今季主場對陣當下前八名之外的隊伍6戰全勝，當中半數場次淨勝至少15分。人手方面，內線核心謝絲嘉舒柏特上仗受傷，今仗缺陣；好在球隊今季頭兩次面對節奏時的整體發揮不俗，尤其是柏治布克絲均場斬獲28分，對方難以對其有效限制，期待她今仗再有精彩個人演出。

    　　節奏在賽季早段有過不少驚喜，頭12場打出7勝5負；然而近20場慘遭3勝17負，並深陷九連敗，儼然撞上「新軍墻」無法自拔。必須指出，節奏近10場客場輸9場，其中6場淨負分差為雙位數。與此同時，節奏今季客場僅1場失分低於90分，也是其防守水平為全聯盟最差的一大體現。何況節奏今季已兩負飛翼，均場失分多達98.5分，兩場都淨負13分，彼此間實力存在明顯差距，前者此行可謂毫無勝算。陣容方面，比特妮史姬絲仍舊傷缺。
