Choice Hotels International, Inc. reported that on December 31, 2025 it entered into a new Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Severance Benefit Agreement (the “2025 SBA”) with Raul Ramirez, its Chief Segment and International Operations Officer. This updated agreement form was approved by the Human Capital and Compensation Committee and is expected to be used with future executive officers, subject to further approval.
The 2025 SBA updates the company’s prior 2023 agreement by shifting severance and certain health-care–related amounts to single lump sum payments, refining definitions such as “change in control” and “good reason,” adding a cooperation obligation in investigations, and confirming that all payments are subject to applicable tax withholding. It also reinforces employees’ rights to communicate with government agencies, references protections under the National Labor Relations Act and the Defend Trade Secrets Act, and expands provisions addressing Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
On the same date, the company amended existing severance agreements with four executives—Dominic Dragisich, David Pepper, Scott Oaksmith and Simone Wu—so that certain change-in-control severance amounts subject to Section 409A would be paid in installments under normal payroll practices, while also updating tax withholding, protected rights, and Section 409A language to align generally with the 2025 SBA.
