NEW YORK —
Hotel chain Wyndham Worldwide Corp. has extended its contract with CEO and Chairman Stephen P. Holmes for another three years.

In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday, the company said Holmes' current contract is for July 31, 2010 through July 31, 2013. The contract amendment was made Nov. 19, the company said.
