The latest announcement is out from Choice Hotels ( (CHH) ).
On December 31, 2025, Choice Hotels International, Inc. updated its executive non-competition, non-solicitation and severance framework by entering into a new Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Severance Benefit Agreement with Chief Segment and International Operations Officer Raul Ramirez and designating this revised 2025 agreement as the template for future executive officers, subject to board committee approval. The 2025 agreement shifts severance to single lump-sum payments, refines key definitions such as change in control and good reason, adds cooperation requirements, clarifies tax withholding, reinforces employees’ rights to communicate with government agencies and protections under labor and trade secrets laws, and includes more detailed provisions to address Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. On the same date, Choice amended existing severance agreements with executives Dominic Dragisich, David Pepper, Scott Oaksmith and Simone Wu to align severance timing, tax withholding and protected-rights language with Section 409A and the updated 2025 template, signaling a broader standardization and compliance-focused tightening of its executive compensation and post-employment protections framework.
