The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

G6 Hospitality is a leading economy lodging franchisor and parent company of the well-known Motel 6 and Studio 6 brands. Motel 6's franchise network produces gross room revenues of $1.7 billion, which generates a strong fee base and cash flow for G6.

Oyo said it has steadily expanded its footprint in the United States since its launch in the region in 2019 and currently operates over 320 hotels across 35 states. In 2023, OYO added nearly 100 hotels to its US portfolio and aims to add 250 hotels in 2024.
