New York, January 26, 2007 — Weight Watchers International, Inc.

The Company has accepted for purchase an aggregate of 8,548,027 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $54.00 per share. The shares represent approximately 8.8% of the Company’s outstanding shares as of November 30, 2006.

Based on the final count by the depositary for the tender offer, an aggregate of 8,548,027 shares were properly tendered and not withdrawn at or below a price of $54.00. The 8,548,027 shares to be purchased are comprised of the 8,300,000 shares the Company offered to purchase and 248,027 shares to be purchased pursuant to the Company’s right to purchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of November 30, 2006 without extending the tender offer in accordance with applicable securities laws.

As a result of the tender offer and the purchase from Artal, the Company will repurchase approximately 19.6% of its common stock outstanding as of November 30, 2006.

The Company amended its senior credit facility today to increase its borrowing capacity up to an additional $1.2 billion to finance the purchases pursuant to the tender offer and the agreement with Artal and to refinance certain indebtedness of its subsidiary WeightWatchers.com, Inc.
