Wyndham Worldwide (WYN)

Equity Incentive Programs

It is expected that no more than 43.5 million shares of our common stock will be available for grants pursuant to the equity incentive program under the 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan, which include (i) shares which may be used for purposes of satisfying our obligations under our Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, Savings Restoration Plan and Officer Deferred Compensation Plan (each as described below) and (ii) approximately 29 million shares necessary to implement the issuance of equity awards relating to our common stock granted pursuant to equitable adjustments of Cendant equity awards. See “—Equitable Adjustments to Outstanding Cendant Equity-Based Awards” below.

The 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan places limits on the maximum amount of awards that may be granted to any participant in any plan year. Under the 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan, no participant may receive awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights that cover in the aggregate more than one million shares in any plan year. Additionally, no participant may receive awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, and other stock-based awards that cover in the aggregate more than 250,000 shares in any plan year. The maximum number of shares that may be covered by “incentive stock options” within the meaning of section 422 of the Code may not exceed one million shares. Shares issued under the 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

If any shares subject to an award granted under the 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered or if an award terminates or expires without a distribution of shares, or if shares of stock are surrendered or withheld as payment of either the exercise price of an award or withholding taxes in

respect of an award, those shares of common stock will again be available for awards under the 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan. In the event that the Compensation Committee determines that any corporate event, such as a stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, repurchase or share exchange, affects our common stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan participants, then the Compensation Committee will make those adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to any or all of:

The Compensation Committee will determine all of the terms and conditions of equity-based awards under the 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan, including whether the vesting or payment of an award will be subject to the attainment of performance goals. The performance goals that may be applicable to the equity incentive program under the 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan will be same as those discussed above under “—Cash Incentive Programs.”

The Cendant Compensation Committee approved a “2006 Annual Grant” of incentive awards for persons who we determined are our key employees, including our Named Executive Officers. The 2006 Annual Grant is subject to our separation from Cendant and will convert into restricted stock units and/or stock appreciation rights which settle in the form of shares of our common stock. The total aggregate value of the 2006 Annual Grant is expected to be approximately $80 million. The number of shares of Wyndham Worldwide common stock covered by such grant will equal the aggregate value of such grant (e.g., $80 million) divided by (i) in the case of restricted stock units, the fair market value of our common stock and (ii) in the case of stock appreciation rights, the Black-Scholes value of a right, in each case as of the grant of such award (the first trading day following our distribution and using the closing price). Such awards will vest with respect to 25% of the shares underlying the applicable award on each of the first four anniversaries of May 2, 2006 (except for a portion of the stock appreciation rights which we expect to be issued to certain of our Named Executive Officers, which will vest with respect to 33% of the shares underlying such rights on each of the first three anniversaries of May 2, 2006), subject to the holder’s continued employment with us and subject to earlier acceleration under certain circumstances. The portion of the 2006 Annual Grant in the form of stock appreciation rights will settle in the form of shares of our common stock and are expected to have an exercise price equal to the value of our common stock as of the date of grant (the first trading day following our distribution and using closing price). As such stock appreciation rights are granted at fair market value, there is no realizable value to such officers absent an increase in our stock price. Such awards will be granted under our 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan and will count against the maximum number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under such plan. The expected financial impact relating to this 2006 Annual Grant will increase our non-cash compensation expense by approximately $3 million from the $17 million annual amount reflected in our 2005 pro forma combined condensed statement of income set forth in this information statement. We presently anticipate that annual grants in future years will be lower than the 2006 Annual Grant.
