Debt Due to Parent
Wyndham Hotels had $197 million and $184 million of outstanding borrowings from its Parent as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. At March 31, 2018, $67 million of the outstanding borrowings was attributable to an agreement with a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide to fund Wyndham Hotels’ acquisition of Fen Hotels in November 2016. The borrowing bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.33% per annum and is payable in a lump sum on December 1, 2026. At March 31, 2018, $14 million of the outstanding borrowings was attributable to an agreement with a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide to fund an internal reorganization in December 2017. The borrowing bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.25% per annum and is payable in a lump sum on December 7, 2027. In the event that Wyndham Hotels ceases to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide, both loans may become payable upon demand. All of the remaining outstanding borrowings from the Parent are short-term and bear interest at LIBOR plus 65 basis points. Wyndham Hotels’ interest expense was $1 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
