CorePoint to be Acquired by Joint Venture

Between Affiliates of Highgate and Cerberus Capital Management, L.P.

IRVING, Texas – March 1, 2022 – CorePoint Lodging, Inc. (NYSE: CPLG) (“CorePoint” or the “Company”), a pure play select-service hotel owner strategically focused on the midscale and upper-midscale segments, today announced that its stockholders voted to approve the acquisition of CorePoint by a joint venture between affiliates of Highgate and Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”). The transaction is expected to close as early as March 3, 2022, subject to satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions.

Keith Cline, President and Chief Executive Officer of CorePoint, said, “I thank our stockholders for their support of this transaction and am incredibly grateful to the CorePoint team for their continued dedication to serving our stakeholders. We look forward to completing this transaction and delivering immediate and compelling cash value to our stockholders.”

Under the terms of the previously announced merger agreement, upon the closing of the merger, Highgate and Cerberus will acquire all outstanding shares of CorePoint common stock in an all-cash transaction. Assuming the closing of the merger occurs on March 3, 2022, the total merger consideration to be paid upon completion of the transaction will be $15.99 per share in cash (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes).

Upon successful completion of the transaction, CorePoint’s common stock will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and the Company will be privately owned.

The final voting results will be reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission after certification by CorePoint’s inspector of elections.
