Application has been made to the UK Listing Authority for all
the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the Official List and
will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary
Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock
Exchange&#146;s market for listed securities. Subject, among
other things, to the passing of the relevant resolutions to be
proposed at the Court Meeting and the Extraordinary General
Meeting to be held on 1&nbsp;June 2005, it is expected that such
Admission will become effective, and that dealings in the New
Ordinary Shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. (London time) on
27&nbsp;June 2005. As part of the Proposals, American Depositary
Shares (each representing one New Ordinary Share) will be issued
and evidenced by Company ADRs. Application will be made for the
Company ADSs to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and,
subject to fulfilling the listing requirements of the New York
Stock Exchange, dealings in Company ADSs are expected to
commence at 9.30 a.m. (New York time) on 27&nbsp;June 2005.

The expected number of New Ordinary Shares issued and fully paid
or credited as fully paid is based on the number of Existing
Ordinary Shares in issue as at 29&nbsp;April 2005 and on the
assumption that all options are exercised prior to Admission
under the share schemes of IHG. New Ordinary Shares to be issued
in connection with the Proposals will rank in full for all
dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on such
New Ordinary Shares after the date on which they are admitted to
the Official List. Shortly following Admission, the nominal
value of each New Ordinary Share will be reduced from &#163;6.25
to 10 pence (pursuant to the Company Reduction of Capital).

There will also be one Redeemable Preference Share of
&#163;50,000 in issue. This has been issued by the Company so
that it meets the minimum share capital requirements of the
Companies Act pending the issue of the New Ordinary Shares on
the Return. As described in Part VIII of this document, the
Company intends to redeem the Redeemable Preference Share
shortly after the Return.

statements involve risk and uncertainty, and the factors
described in the context of such forward-looking statements in
this document could cause actual results and developments to
differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such
forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others,
the effect of political and economic developments, the risks
involved with the Group&#146;s reliance on brands and protection
of intellectual property rights and the reliance on consumer
perception of its brands, the ability to recruit and retain key
personnel, the risks involved with developing and employing new
technologies and systems, the Group&#146;s ability to purchase
adequate insurance, risks associated with funding the defined
benefits under its pension schemes, the future balance between
supply and demand for the Group&#146;s hotels, the risks
relating to identifying, securing and retaining management and
franchise agreements, events that adversely impact domestic or
international travel, including terrorist incidents and
epidemics such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(&#147;SARS&#148;), increased use of intermediary reservation
channels, the lack of selected acquisition opportunities or the
effects of being unable to make disposals of hotel assets, the
risks of litigation, the risk of possible product contamination,
reliance on suppliers in the soft drinks business, competition,

Certain terms and expressions used in the text of the document

following information should be read in conjunction with the
full text of this document. Other than in relation to
information expressed to be historical, it describes the Group

portfolio, within the overall total, has increased as the Group
progressively implements its strategy of selling certain owned
and leased hotels and focusing on managed and franchised hotels.

On 10&nbsp;March 2005, IHG announced its intention to return
surplus funds of approximately &#163;1&nbsp;billion to IHG
Shareholders, subject to the completion of the UK Hotels

47.5&nbsp;per&nbsp;cent. interest in Britvic, one of the two
leading manufacturers of soft drinks, by value and volume, in
Great Britain.

With 3,540 franchised, managed, owned and leased hotels and

Significant funds are being, and are expected to be, released
from the asset disposal programme and the Group has three uses
for these: paying down debt, investing in the business and
returning funds to shareholders. In 2004 the Group returned
funds to shareholders through share repurchase programmes and by
way of a special dividend. In March 2005, the Group announced
its intention to return funds of approximately
&#163;1&nbsp;billion to IHG Shareholders, subject to (among
other things) the completion of the UK Hotels Disposal.

    The Group has seen encouraging performance in the US. The key
    midscale brands, Express and Holiday Inn, are showing rate
    growth. Crowne Plaza RevPAR is growing strongly, driven by
    strong performance in the meeting segment and the
    InterContinental brand is delivering strong results in key
    cities (e.g. New&nbsp;York). The UK, and particularly London, is
    showing strong RevPAR growth, driven by the corporate segment.
    The Group is seeing continued weakness in some Continental
    European markets (e.g. France and Benelux) but Germany is
    showing some positive signs. The Group&#146;s business in the
    Middle East continues to deliver positive results, while the
    InterContinental Hong Kong had a good start to the year with
    double-digit RevPAR growth and mainland China also performed
    strongly.</TD>

Also as part of the presentation of the preliminary results,
information was provided in relation to the Britvic Business.
Turnover increased by 5&nbsp;per&nbsp;cent. for the full
financial year, with volume up 2&nbsp;per&nbsp;cent., but
operating profit had reduced by 4&nbsp;per&nbsp;cent., affected
by investment in the business, pension costs and poor weather.
Capital expenditure is, however, expected to be less in 2005,
and the year started positively with volume increases over the
previous year, and several initiatives planned with the
intention of increasing profit and tightly controlling costs.

Based on the information available to the Directors at the date
of this document, the Directors believe that there has been no
material change in the broad trend of current trading since

for the full financial year remains in line with the
Directors&#146; expectations.

The Group is an international hotel business which owns a
portfolio of well-recognised and respected hotel brands,
including InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Express,
Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites. The Group was formed
from the Separation of Six Continents in April 2003. The
Separation also resulted in the creation of Mitchells &#38;
Butlers, an operator of managed pubs, bars and restaurants which
is now a separately listed company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
With 3,540 franchised, managed, owned and leased hotels and
approximately 534,000 guest rooms across nearly
100&nbsp;countries and territories, at the end of December 2004,
the Group is currently the largest hotel group in the world by
number of rooms. At the end of December 2004, approximately 93
per cent. of the Group&#146;s rooms were operated under a
managed or franchised model.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The Group retains a 47.5 per cent. interest in Britvic, one of
the two leading manufacturers of soft drinks, by value and sales
volume, in Great Britain, which owns brands that include
Robinsons, Britvic Juice, Fruit Shoot, R&nbsp;Whites, Tango and
J<SUB>2</SUB>O. Britvic also has the exclusive right to bottle
and distribute the Pepsi and 7UP brands in Great Britain until
2018. IHG has agreed with the other Britvic Shareholders,
subject to market and other conditions being satisfied, to
consider an IPO of Britvic between 2005 and 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
Consistent with its stated intention at the time of Separation,
the Group has made a series of targeted hotel disposals to
reduce the capital intensity of the business. The Group now aims
to leverage its proven track record in operating managed and
franchised models, and capitalise on its brands&#146; strengths.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
As at the date of this document, IHG was offering for sale or
was in the process of selling 25&nbsp;hotels including
10&nbsp;hotels in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji announced on
4&nbsp;April 2005. Since Separation in April 2003, the Group has
sold or announced the sale of 121 hotels with proceeds of
approximately &#163;1.75&nbsp;billion.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The largest such disposal was of a portfolio of
73&nbsp;properties in the UK to LGR Acquisition, expected to be
completed in the second quarter of 2005. The agreed sale price
was &#163;1&nbsp;billion, &#163;22&nbsp;million below net book
value. Receipt of &#163;40&nbsp;million of the total proceeds
has been deferred, contingent upon certain pre-agreed
performance targets being reached.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The majority of assets remaining to be sold are expected to be
sold with the brand flag, and so will become managed or
franchised hotels.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
Ownership of certain hotels in key cities is likely to be
retained where considered strategically important to do so. The
Group is in the early stages of a planned refurbishment of its
owned InterContinental Hyde Park property, with a budget of
approximately &#163;60&nbsp;million, as an approved capital
project financed from internal resources.

The Group currently operates its hotel business through three
distinct business models which offer different growth, return,
risk and reward opportunities. The models are summarised as
follows:

    operate. Management contract fees are linked to total hotel
    revenue and may have an additional incentive fee linked to
    profitability and/or cash flow. The terms of these agreements
    vary, but are often long term (for example 10&nbsp;years or
    more). The Group Company&#146;s responsibilities under the
    management agreement typically include hiring, training and
    supervising the managers and employees that operate the hotels
    under the relevant brand standards. The Group Company prepares
    annual budgets for the hotels that it manages, and property
    owners are responsible for funding periodic maintenance and
    repair on a basis to be allocated by the Group Company. In order
    to gain access to central reservations systems, global and
    regional brand marketing and brand standards and procedures,
    owners are typically required to make a further contribution. In
    certain cases, property owners may insist on performance
    targets, with consequences for management fees and sometimes the
    contract itself (including, on occasion, the right of
    termination), if those targets are not met. At the end of 2004,
    98,953 (19&nbsp;per&nbsp;cent.) of the Group&#146;s rooms were

    Owned and leased, where a Group Company both owns (or leases)
    and operates the hotel and, in the case of ownership, assumes
    all the benefits and risks associated with ownership. The Group
    has been selling a significant proportion of its owned and
    leased portfolio and in future expects to only own hotels where
    it is considered strategically important to do so. Rooms owned
    or leased by the Group at the end of 2004 totalled 38,420,

In addition, the Group makes equity investments in hotel
ownership entities where its equity investment is less than
100&nbsp;per&nbsp;cent., and it participates in a share of the
benefits and risks of ownership. A management contract is
generally entered into as well as the equity investment.

The Group&#146;s objective under its strategy is to become the
world&#146;s leading hotel brand owner, using its proven track
record in hotel management and franchising to grow its portfolio
of hospitality brands predominantly under a managed and
franchised model. A large part of the owned and leased estate
(by net book value) has been sold or is in the course of being
sold, and the disposal process continues.

several market segments and in the case of InterContinental,
Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Express operate internationally.
Staybridge Suites operates in the Americas and has recently been
launched in the United Kingdom. Candlewood Suites operates
exclusively in the United States.

in paragraph&nbsp;4.4 of this Part&nbsp;II below (and assuming
no other change in the number of rooms or the respective

central overheads and exceptional items), it is expected that
the geographical split of hotel level operating profit (before

The Group is well diversified geographically with hotels
currently situated in nearly 100 countries and territories
worldwide. While maintaining the Company&#146;s desire to focus
on building national scale within its core markets, the Group
will remain a global operator and continue to benefit from
geographic diversification. The Group also benefits from owning
brands across a number of market segments. The portfolio covers
premium, upscale, midscale (both full and limited service
outlets) and extended stay properties, and customers include
both business and leisure travellers.

Currently, the Group has hotels in nearly 100 countries and
territories and has a larger number of rooms than any other
hotel company. The Group has a large premium and upscale network
(including 132&nbsp;InterContinental and 215&nbsp;Crowne Plaza
hotels at the end of 2004) as well as midscale depth in key
countries (for example, Holiday Inn is one of the largest
midscale brands in the US and China by room numbers). At the end
of 2004, the Group had approximately 534,000&nbsp;rooms and
3,540&nbsp;hotels, making it the largest hotel group in the
world by number of rooms. Following its greater focus on growing
the managed and franchised operating model, the Group intends
that the majority of the owned and leased estate (which is
intended to be sold with the brand flag) remains as part of the
Group&#146;s managed and franchised portfolio. Selective
additions to the owned and leased portfolio may also occur.

The Group&#146;s brand investment represents a substantial asset
that can be leveraged and exploited through franchising and
management at low cost.

Greater focus on a managed and franchised model will play both
to the Group&#146;s core strengths and capitalise on the
strength of its brands. In addition, a managed and franchised
operating model is expected to be highly cash generative, and
involves lower capital risk than an owned and leased model. It
has also been shown in the past to be more resilient to external
factors such as economic downturn or a decline in business
travel such as that which followed the terrorist attacks of
11&nbsp;September 2001, SARS and the Iraq war.

with its IT, internet and loyalty scheme (Priority Club Rewards)
is predominantly funded by contributions from the hotels, which

A significant programme of overhead cost savings was completed
during 2004, resulting in annualised savings of
US$120&nbsp;million versus the budgeted 2003 base (source:
management accounts of IHG). Moving forward, the Directors
remain focused on costs and will exploit methods to keep them
controlled such as the simplification of structures due to
increased focus, cost reductions due to declining asset
ownership, and process improvements. Against this backdrop of
cost-focus and increased efficiency, investment in the business
that is necessary to drive growth will be committed as and when
required.

People are a key component in driving its strategy forward and
the Group will continue to invest in the development of its

retaining key people.

On&nbsp;17 December 2004, the Group announced the sale of
13&nbsp;hotels, with 3,946&nbsp;rooms in the United States,
Puerto Rico and Canada, to HPT. The total consideration payable
by HPT IHG-2 (the HPT acquiring vehicle) for the sales amounted
to US$425&nbsp;million, before transaction costs, equivalent to
net book value (of which US$395&nbsp;million was received upon
the main completion of the sale on 16&nbsp;February 2005, with
the remaining US$30&nbsp;million to be received upon the
completion of the sale of the InterContinental hotel in Austin,
expected to be on or around 1&nbsp;June 2005). The Group will
continue to manage the hotels (other than the InterContinental
in Puerto Rico) under a 25&nbsp;year management contract with
HPT&nbsp;IHG-2. The Group has two consecutive options to extend
the contracts for 15&nbsp;years each, giving a total potential
contract length of up to 55&nbsp;years. The InterContinental in

On 10&nbsp;March 2005, the Group announced the sale of
73&nbsp;hotels in the United Kingdom to LGR Acquisition, a
consortium comprising Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners, GIC
Real Estate and Realstar Asset Management. The agreed sale price
was &#163;1&nbsp;billion, &#163;22&nbsp;million below net book

    The Group has seen encouraging performance in the US. The key
    midscale brands, Express and Holiday Inn are showing rate
    growth. Crowne Plaza RevPAR is growing strongly, driven by
    strong performance in the meeting segment and the
    InterContinental brand is delivering strong results in key
    cities (e.g. New York). The UK, and particularly London, is
    showing strong RevPAR growth, driven by the corporate segment.
    The Group is seeing continued weakness in some Continental
    European markets (e.g. France, Benelux) but Germany is showing
    some positive signs. The Group&#146;s business in the Middle
    East continues to deliver positive results, while the
    InterContinental Hong Kong had a good start to the year with
    double-digit RevPAR growth and mainland China also performed
    strongly.</TD>

Also as part of the presentation of the preliminary results,
information was provided in relation to the Britvic Business.
Turnover increased by 5&nbsp;per cent. for the full financial
year, with volume up 2&nbsp;per cent., but operating profit had
reduced by 4&nbsp;per cent., affected by investment in the
business, pension costs and poor weather. Capital expenditure
is, however, expected to be less in 2005, and the year started
positively with volume increases over the previous year, and
several initiatives planned with the intention of increasing
profit and tightly controlling costs.

This section describes some of the risks that could materially
affect the Group&#146;s businesses. The factors below should be
considered in connection with any financial and forward-looking
information in these Listing Particulars and the cautionary
statements contained in the introductory portion of these
Listing Particulars.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The risks below are not the only ones that the Group faces. Some
risks are not yet known to IHG and some that IHG does not
currently believe to be material could later turn out to be
material. All of these risks could materially affect the
Group&#146;s businesses, turnover, operating profit, earnings,
net assets and liquidity and/or capital resources.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The Group is exposed to the risks of global and regional adverse
political, economic and financial market developments, including
recession, inflation and currency fluctuation, that could lower
revenues and reduce income. A recession would adversely affect
room rates and/or occupancy levels and other income generating
activities resulting in deterioration of results of operations
and potentially affecting the value of properties in affected
economies.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
Further, political or economic factors or regulatory action
could effectively prevent the Group from receiving profits from,
or from selling its investments in, certain countries, or
otherwise adversely affect operations. In addition, fluctuations
in currency exchange rates between the UK&nbsp;pound sterling,
the currency in which the Group reports its financial
statements, and the US dollar and other currencies in which the
Group&#146;s international operations or investments do
business, could adversely affect the Group&#146;s reported
earnings and the value of its business. Fluctuations of this
type have been experienced over the last two years with the
significant strengthening of the pound against the dollar.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
An event that was to materially damage the reputation of one or
more of the Group&#146;s brands and/or failure to sustain the
appeal of the Group&#146;s brands to its customers could have an
adverse impact on the value of that brand and subsequent
revenues from that brand or business.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
In addition, the value of the Group&#146;s brands is influenced
by a number of other factors including consumer preference and
perception, commoditisation (whereby the price/ quality becomes
relatively more important than brand identifications), failure
by the Hotel Business or its franchisees to ensure compliance
with the significant regulations applicable to hotel operations,
or other factors affecting consumers&#146; willingness to
purchase goods and services, including any factor which
adversely affects the reputation of those brands.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
In particular, the extent to which the Hotel Business is able to
adequately define and enforce adherence to its operating,
quality and fire life safety standards, or the significant
regulations applicable to hotel operations, pursuant to its
management and franchise contracts, may further impact brand
reputation or customer perception, and therefore the value of
the hotel brands.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
Given the importance of brand recognition to the Group&#146;s
businesses, the Group has invested considerable effort in
protecting its intellectual property, including by registration
of trademarks and domain names. If the Group is unable to
protect its intellectual property, any infringement or
misappropriation could materially harm its future financial
results and ability to develop its businesses.
</DIV>

In order to develop, support and market its products, the Group
must hire and retain highly skilled employees with particular
expertise. The implementation of the Group&#146;s strategic
business plans could be undermined by a failure to recruit or
retain key personnel, the unexpected loss of key senior
employees, failures in the Group&#146;s succession planning and
incentive plans, or a failure to invest in the development of
key skills. Additionally, unless skills are supported by a

To varying degrees, the Group is reliant upon certain
technologies and systems (including information technology
systems) for the running of its business, particularly those
which are highly integrated with business processes, and
disruption to those technologies or systems could adversely
effect the efficiency of the business, notwithstanding business
continuity or disaster recovery processes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
Failing to keep pace with developments in technologies or
systems may put the Group at a competitive disadvantage. The
technologies or systems that the Group choose may not be
commercially successful, or the technology or system strategy
may not be sufficiently aligned to the needs of the business or
responsive to changes in business strategy. As a result, the
Group could lose customers, fail to attract new customers, incur
substantial costs or face other losses.

Historically, the Group has maintained insurance at levels
determined by it to be appropriate in light of the cost of cover
and the risk profiles of the businesses in which it operates.
Following the effects of the 11&nbsp;September 2001 terrorist
attacks and subsequent events, many companies faced increased
premiums for reduced cover as the insurance market hardened. A
repeat of incidents of this nature may result in the Group
experiencing significant increases in the cost of insuring its
business at an acceptable level, or in the Group being unable to
obtain cover for certain risks at a realistic price.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The Group is required by law to maintain a minimum funding level
in relation to its ongoing obligation to provide current and
future pensions for the members of its pension plans who are
entitled to defined benefits. In addition, if any plan of the
Group is wound up, the Group could become statutorily liable to
make an immediate payment to the trustees to bring the funding
of these defined benefits to a level which is higher than this
minimum. The contributions payable by the Group must be set with
a view to making prudent provision for the benefits accruing
under the plans of the Group.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
Some of the issues which could adversely affect the funding of
these defined benefits (and materially affect the Group&#146;s
funding obligations) include: (i)&nbsp;poor investment
performance of pension fund investments; (ii)&nbsp;long life
expectancy (which will make pensions payable for longer and
therefore more expensive to provide); (iii)&nbsp;adverse annuity
rates (which tend in particular to depend on prevailing interest
rates and life expectancy) as these will make it more expensive
to secure pensions with an insurance company; and
(iv)&nbsp;other events occurring which make past service
benefits more expensive than predicted in the actuarial
assumptions by reference to which the Group&#146;s past
contributions were assessed.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The trustees of the UK defined benefit plan can demand increases
to the contribution rates relating to the funding of that
pension plan, which would oblige the relevant members of the
Group to contribute extra amounts to such pension fund. The
trustees must consult the plan&#146;s actuary and principal
employer before exercising this power. In practice, contribution
rates are agreed between the Group and the trustees on actuarial
advice, and are set for three year terms. The last such review
was as at 31&nbsp;March 2004. As at the date of this document,
the Directors are not aware of any circumstances that would
cause the trustees to deem it necessary to unilaterally increase
the contribution rates.

The future operating results of the Hotel Business could be
adversely affected by industry over-capacity (by number of
rooms) and weak demand or other differences between planning
assumptions and actual operating conditions. Reductions in room
rates and occupancy levels would adversely impact the results of
operations of the Hotel Business.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The Hotel Business competes with other hotel companies for
management and franchise agreements. Competition may generally
reduce the number of suitable management, franchise and
investment opportunities offered to the Hotel Business, and
increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to
engage a manager or become a franchisee. There can be no
assurance that the Hotel Business will be able to identify,
retain or add franchisees to the Hotel Business system or to
secure management contracts. For example, the availability of
suitable sites, planning and other local regulations or the
availability of finance may all restrict the supply of suitable
hotel development opportunities under franchise or management
agreements. There are also risks that significant franchisees or
groups of franchisees may have interests that conflict, or are
not aligned, with those of the Hotel Business. In connection
with entering into management or franchise agreements, the Group
may be required to make investments in or guarantee the

The room rates and occupancy levels of the Hotel Business could
be adversely impacted by events that reduce domestic or
international travel, such as actual or threatened acts of
terrorism or war, epidemics (such as SARS), travel-related
accidents, travel-related industrial action, increased
transportation and fuel costs and natural disasters resulting in
reduced worldwide travel or other local factors impacting
individual hotels.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
Terrorist incidents such as the events of 11&nbsp;September 2001
and the war in Iraq in 2003 significantly affected international
travel and consequently global demand for hotel rooms. Further
incidents or uncertainties of this type may have an adverse
impact on the Group&#146;s operations and financial results. In
addition, inadequate preparedness, contingency planning or
recovery capability in relation to a major incident or crisis
may prevent operational continuity and consequently impact the
value of the brand or the reputation of the Hotel Business.

The value of the brands of the Hotel Business is partly derived
from the ability to drive reservations through its proprietary
HolidexPlus reservation system, an electronic booking and
delivery channel directly linked to travel agents, hotels and
internet networks. Inadequate disaster recovery arrangements, or
inadequate continued investment in this technology, leading to
loss of key communications linkages, particularly in relation to
HolidexPlus, internet reservation channels and other key parts
of the IT infrastructure for a prolonged period, or permanently,
may result in significant business interruption and subsequent
impact on revenues.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The Hotel Business is also exposed to the risk of competition
from third party intermediaries who provide reservation
infrastructure. In particular, any significant increase in the
use of these reservation channels in preference to proprietary
channels may impact the Hotel Business&#146; ability to control
the supply, presentation and price of its room inventory.

capital, in some cases the Hotel Business may consider it

The Hotel Business could be at risk of litigation from its
guests, customers, joint venture partners, suppliers, employees,

The Britvic Business, like all beverage producers, has been and
will continue to be vulnerable to accidental or malicious
contamination of its products or base raw materials. Any such
contamination could result in recall of the products of the
Britvic Business, the Britvic Business being unable to sell its
products, damage to brand image and/or civil or criminal
liability, which could have a material adverse effect on the
operations and financial performance of the Britvic Business.

The Britvic Business is reliant upon fruit juice concentrates,
sugar and other fruit juice raw materials as necessary
ingredients for many of its products, as well as packaging and
containers such as cans and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
bottles. In the event that the Britvic Business is unable to
obtain an adequate supply of appropriate raw materials or
packaging or fails to negotiate the purchase of these materials
on a reasonable commercial basis, this could have a significant
adverse impact on the financial operations of the Britvic
Business.

A change in the level of marketing undertaken by competitors or
in their pricing policies, the growth or strengthening of
existing retailers of beverage products, the introduction of new
competing brands or products or increased purchasing power
pressure from customers could have a material adverse effect on
the operations and financial performance of the Britvic
Business. Conversely, competition law may regulate the ability
of the Britvic Business to participate in industry consolidation
at a strategic level.

Any excess of purchase consideration for an acquired business
over the fair value attributed to its separately identifiable
assets and liabilities represents goodwill. Goodwill is
capitalised as an intangible asset. Goodwill arising on
acquisitions prior to 30&nbsp;September 1998 was eliminated
against shareholders&#146; funds. To the extent that goodwill
denominated in foreign currencies continues to have value, it is
translated into sterling at each balance sheet date and any
movements are accounted for as set out under &#147;Foreign
currencies&#148; above. On disposal of a business, any goodwill
relating to the business and previously eliminated against
shareholders&#146; funds is taken into account in determining
the gain or loss on disposal.

Revenue is derived from the following sources: owned and leased
properties; management fees; franchise fees; sale of soft drinks
and other revenues which are ancillary to the Group&#146;s
operations. Generally, revenue represents sales (excluding VAT
and similar taxes) of goods and services, net of discounts,
provided in the normal course of business and is recognised when
services have been rendered. The following is a description of
the composition of revenues of the Group.

Audit related fees include &#163;nil (2003 &#163;6.3m, 2002
&#163;1.7m) in relation to the Separation and bid defence. These
costs have been charged to exceptional items (see note&nbsp;7).
Non-audit fees payable for UK&nbsp;services were &#163;1.1m
(2003 &#163;6.6m, 2002 &#163;4.1m).

The Audit Committee has a process to ensure that any non-audit
services do not compromise the independence and objectivity of
the external auditors, and that relevant UK and
US&nbsp;professional and regulatory requirements are met. A
number of criteria are applied when deciding whether
pre-approval for such services should be given. These include
the nature of the service, the level of fees, and the
practicality of appointing an alternative provider, having
regard to the skills and experience required to supply the
service effectively. Cumulative fees for audit and non-audit
services are presented to the Audit Committee on a quarterly
basis for review. The Audit Committee is responsible for
monitoring adherence to the pre-approval policy.

Retirement and death benefits are provided for eligible Group
employees in the United Kingdom principally by the
InterContinental Hotels UK Pension Plan which covers
approximately 1,700&nbsp;employees and the Britvic Pension Plan
which covers approximately 2,400&nbsp;employees. The plans are
predominantly defined benefit schemes for current members. For
new entrants, the plans provide defined contribution benefits.
The assets of the plans are held in self-administered trust
funds separate from the Group&#146;s assets. The Group also
maintains a US-based InterContinental Hotels Pension Plan. This
plan is now closed to new members and pensionable service no
longer accrues for current employee members. In addition, the
Group operates a number of minor pension schemes outside the
United Kingdom, the most significant of which is a defined
contribution scheme in the United States; there is no material
difference between the pension costs of, and contributions to,
these schemes.

On 1&nbsp;April 2003, two new pension schemes were created for
InterContinental Hotels Group PLC in the UK when Mitchells &#38;
Butlers Retail Limited became the sponsoring employer for the
Six Continents Pension Plan and the Six Continents Executive
Pension Plan. Approximately 30&nbsp;per cent. of the assets and
liabilities of these plans was transferred to the new
InterContinental Hotels UK Pension Plan and the Britvic Pension
Plan, which were established with effect from 1&nbsp;April 2003.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The Group continues to account for its defined benefit
obligations in accordance with SSAP&nbsp;24. The pension costs
related to the two UK principal plans are assessed in accordance
with the advice of independent qualified actuaries using the
projected unit method. They reflect the&nbsp;31 March 2004
actuarial valuations of the InterContinental Hotels UK Pension
Plan and the Britvic Pension Plan. The significant assumptions
in these valuations were that wages and salaries increase on
average by 4.3&nbsp;per cent. per annum, the long-term return on
assets is 6.5&nbsp;per cent. per annum, and pensions increase by
2.8&nbsp;per cent. per annum. The average expected remaining
service life of current employees is 12&nbsp;years.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
At 31&nbsp;March 2004, the market value of the combined assets
of the InterContinental Hotels UK Pension Plan was
&#163;148&nbsp;million and of the Britvic Pension Plan was
&#163;240&nbsp;million and the value of the assets was
sufficient to cover on an ongoing basis 80 per cent. and
75&nbsp;per cent., respectively, of the benefits that had
accrued to members after allowing for expected increases in
earnings.

The Group has agreed a solvency target with the Trustees of the
two UK principal plans such that the Group will seek to achieve
a position within 15&nbsp;years whereby assets equal the present
value of benefits calculated on a &#147;solvency basis&#148;.

In the period to 31&nbsp;December 2004, the Group made regular
contributions to the two UK principal plans of
&#163;12&nbsp;million (2003 &#163;26&nbsp;million, 2002 &#163;18
million) and additional contributions of &#163;60&nbsp;million
(2003 &#163;13&nbsp;million, 2002 &#163;15&nbsp;million). The
agreed employer contribution rates to the defined benefit
arrangements for the year to 31&nbsp;December 2005 are
15.6&nbsp;per cent. for the staff section of the
InterContinental Hotels UK Pension Plan and 31.4&nbsp;per cent.
for the executive section, and 16.9&nbsp;per cent. for the staff
section of the Britvic Pension Plan and 32.3&nbsp;per cent. for
the executive section.

Certain pension benefits and post-retirement insurance
obligations are provided on an unfunded basis. Where assets are
not held with the specific purpose of matching the liabilities
of unfunded schemes, a provision is included within other
provisions for liabilities and charges. Liabilities are
generally assessed annually in accordance with the advice of
independent actuaries.

The valuations used for FRS&nbsp;17 disclosures are based on the
results of the actuarial valuations at 31&nbsp;March 2004
updated by independent qualified actuaries to 31&nbsp;December
2004. Scheme assets are stated at market value at
31&nbsp;December 2004 and the liabilities of the schemes have
been assessed as at the same date using the projected unit
method. As the principal plans are now closed as defined benefit
schemes, the current service cost as calculated under the
projected unit method will increase as members approach
retirement.

The following information relates to the pension arrangements
provided for Richard Hartman, Richard North and Richard Solomons
under the executive section of the InterContinental Hotels
UK&nbsp;Pension Plan (the &#147;<B>IC Plan</B>&#148;) and the
unfunded InterContinental Executive Top-Up Scheme

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The executive section of the IC&nbsp;Plan is a funded, Inland
Revenue approved, final salary, occupational pension scheme. The
main features applicable to the executive Directors are: a
normal pension age of 60; pension accrual of 1/30th of final
pensionable salary for each year of pensionable service; life
assurance cover of four times pensionable salary; pensions
payable in the event of ill health; and spouses&#146; and
dependants&#146; pensions on death.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
All plan benefits are subject to Inland Revenue limits. Where
such limitation is due to the earnings &#147;cap&#148;, ICETUS
is used to increase pension and death benefits to the level that
would otherwise have applied.

During 2002, Messrs&nbsp;Clarke, North and Oliver were entitled
under the Special Deferred Incentive Plan to defer all or part
of their annual cash bonus and convert the value into IHG&#146;s
shares which would then be released to those directors after at
least 12&nbsp;months, together with an award in shares provided
by IHG. Such awards were conditional on the directors being
employed by the Group at the release dates. The table below
shows the maximum share awards, assuming the directors elected
to defer their 2002 bonuses.

Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the
earnings available for shareholders of &#163;299&nbsp;million
(2003 &#163;19&nbsp;million, 2002 &#163;457 million) by
710&nbsp;million (2003 733&nbsp;million, 2002 731&nbsp;million),

Diluted earnings per ordinary share is calculated by adjusting
basic earnings per ordinary share to reflect the notional
exercise of the weighted average number of dilutive ordinary

On 10 December 2004, shareholders approved a share capital
consolidation on the basis of 25 new ordinary shares for every
28 existing ordinary shares, together with a special dividend of
72 pence per existing share. The overall effect of the
transaction was that of a share repurchase at fair value,
therefore no adjustment has been made to comparative data.

Tangible fixed assets have been written down in total by
&#163;48&nbsp;million (2003 &#163;73&nbsp;million) following an
impairment review of the hotel estate. The impairment has been
measured by reference to the value in use of income-generating
units, using either the higher of value in use or estimated
recoverable amount. The discount rates used for value in use
calculations ranged from 8.0&nbsp;per cent. to 10.5&nbsp;per
cent.

Properties, comprising land, buildings and certain fixtures,

valuation was predominantly existing use value and had regard to
trading potential.

The deferred tax asset of &#163;113&nbsp;million (2003
&#163;37&nbsp;million) recognised in respect of losses includes
&#163;89&nbsp;million (2003 &#163;6&nbsp;million) of capital
losses available to be utilised against the realisation of
capital gains which are recognised as a deferred tax liability
and &#163;24&nbsp;million (2003 &#163;31&nbsp;million) in
respect of revenue tax losses. Tax losses with a value of
&#163;305&nbsp;million (2003 &#163;317&nbsp;million), including
capital losses with a value of &#163;98&nbsp;million (2003
&#163;112&nbsp;million), have not been recognised as their use
is uncertain or not currently anticipated.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
No provision has been made for deferred tax on the sale of
properties at their revalued amounts. The total amount
unprovided is estimated at &#163;177&nbsp;million (2003
&#163;215&nbsp;million).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
No provision has been made for deferred tax on the sale of
properties where gains have been, or are expected to be,
deferred against expenditure on replacement assets for an
indefinite period until the sale of the replacement assets. The
total amount unprovided is estimated at &#163;58&nbsp;million
(2003 &#163;52&nbsp;million), of which &#163;14&nbsp;million is
expected to be rolled over into capital expenditure in periods
up to 31&nbsp;December 2004. It is not anticipated that any such
tax will be payable in the foreseeable future.

Details of the Group&#146;s policies on the use of financial

Treasury policy is to manage financial risks that arise in
relation to underlying business needs. The activities of the
treasury function are carried out in accordance with Board
approved policies and are subject to regular internal audit.

The treasury function does not operate as a profit centre.
Treasury activities include money market investments, spot and
forward foreign exchange instruments, currency options, currency
swaps, interest rate swaps and options, and forward rate
agreements.

Movements in foreign exchange rates, particularly the US dollar
and euro, can affect the Group&#146;s reported profit, net
assets and interest cover. To hedge this translation exposure as
far as is reasonably practicable, borrowings are taken out in
foreign currencies (either directly or via currency swaps),
which broadly match those in which the Group&#146;s major net
assets are denominated.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
Interest rate exposure is managed within parameters that
stipulate that fixed rate borrowings should normally account for
no less than 25&nbsp;per cent., and no more than 75&nbsp;per
cent., of net borrowings for each major currency. This is
achieved through the use of interest rate swaps and options and
forward rate agreements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
Based on the year end net debt position, and given the
underlying maturity profile of investments, borrowings and
hedging instruments at that date, a one percentage point rise in
US dollar interest rates would increase the net interest charge
by approximately &#163;2&nbsp;million, whilst a one percentage
point rise in euro interest rates would increase the net
interest charge by &#163;6&nbsp;million.

Foreign exchange transaction exposure is managed by the forward
purchase or sale of foreign currencies or the use of currency
options. Most significant exposures of the Group are in
currencies that are freely convertible.

Medium and long-term borrowing requirements at 31&nbsp;December
2004 were met through the syndicated bank facilities. Short-term
borrowing requirements are principally met from drawing under
bilateral bank facilities.

Credit risk on treasury transactions is minimised by operating a
policy on the investment of surplus funds that generally
restricts counterparties to those with an &#147;A&#148; credit
rating or better, or those providing adequate security. Limits
are also set with individual counterparties. Most of the
Group&#146;s surplus funds are held in the United Kingdom or
United States and there are no material funds where repatriation
is restricted as a result of foreign exchange regulations.

In order to manage currency risk, the Group enters into
agreements for the forward purchase or sale of foreign
currencies as well as currency options. Foreign currency inflows
and outflows are also netted where practicable. As virtually all
foreign exchange gains and losses are charged to the statement
of total recognised Group gains and losses under the hedging
provisions of SSAP 20, no disclosure of the remaining currency
risks has been provided on the grounds of materiality.

There are a number of property and equipment leases used in the
Group&#146;s operations where, in addition to a specified
minimum rental, the leases provide for contingent rentals based
on percentages of revenue. The average remaining term of these
leases, which generally contain renewal options, is
approximately 12&nbsp;years. No material restrictions or
guarantees exist in the Group&#146;s lease obligations.

On 17&nbsp;December 2004, the Group announced the sale of 13
hotels, in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, to HPT.
The total consideration payable by HPT for the sales amounted to
$425&nbsp;million, before transaction costs, equivalent to net
book value, of which $395&nbsp;million was received upon the
main completion of the sale on 16&nbsp;February 2005, with the
remaining $30&nbsp;million to be received upon the completion of
the sale of the InterContinental hotel in Austin, expected to be
on or around 1&nbsp;June 2005. The Group will continue to manage
the hotels (other than the InterContinental in Puerto Rico)
under a 25&nbsp;year management contract with HPT. The Group has
two consecutive options to extend the contracts for
15&nbsp;years each, giving a total potential contract length of
up to 55&nbsp;years. The InterContinental in Puerto Rico has
been leased back to the Group under a 25&nbsp;year lease with
two consecutive options to extend the lease for 15&nbsp;years
each, giving a total potential lease length of up to
55&nbsp;years.

On 28&nbsp;February 2005, IHG announced the acquisition by
Strategic Hotel Capital, Inc. of 85&nbsp;per cent. interests in
two hotels in the United States. IHG will receive approximately
$287&nbsp;million in cash before transactions costs, based upon
a total value for both hotels of $303.5&nbsp;million,
$12&nbsp;million in excess of net book value. This transaction
completed on 1&nbsp;April 2005. IHG will continue to manage
these hotels under a 20&nbsp;year management contract with three
options to extend for a further 10&nbsp;years each.

On 10&nbsp;March 2005, IHG announced the sale of 73 hotels in
the United Kingdom. The agreed sale price was
&#163;1&nbsp;billion before transaction costs,

million of the total proceeds has been deferred, contingent upon
certain pre-agreed performance targets being reached. This
transaction is expected to complete in the second quarter of
2005. IHG will continue to manage 63 of these hotels under a
20&nbsp;year management contract with two consecutive options to

We conducted our work in accordance with the Statements of

&#147;Reporting on pro forma financial information pursuant to
the Listing Rules&#148; issued by the Accounting Practices

of comparing the unadjusted financial information with the
source documents, considering the evidence supporting the
adjustments and discussing the pro forma financial information
with the Directors of the Company.

Shares in the Company may either be in certificated or

Each Non-Executive Director is subject to a confidentiality
undertaking without limitation in time, must disclose any
potential conflict of interest at the earliest opportunity and
must not take up a post with any other company in competition
with the Company or any Group Company without prior Board
approval. Mr&nbsp;Webster is also subject to non-compete and
non-solicitation of employees obligations for a maximum period
of six months following termination of his appointment.

Mr&nbsp;Webster is provided with a company car and a chauffeur
in connection with the performance of his duties. The
Non-Executive Directors are also entitled to reimbursement of
business expenses. Other than that, none of the Non-Executive
Directors is eligible to receive any other remuneration or
benefits as consideration for the performance of his duties

arrangements).

The Company is aware that, as a UK listed company, its incentive
arrangements for Executive Directors may be expected to
recognise UK investor guidelines. However, given the global
nature of the Hotel Business, an appropriate balance needs to be
drawn in the design of relevant remuneration packages between
domestic and international expectations.

A minimum level of New Ordinary Share ownership will be set for
the Executive Directors. This will be three times salary for the
chief executive and two times salary for other Executive
Directors. It is expected that this requirement will be
satisfied by the Directors within five years from Admission
although this timeframe may be reviewed. Until the minimum level
of New Ordinary Share ownership is satisfied, the Executive
Directors should not sell any New Ordinary Shares including New
Ordinary Shares arising from the Employee Share Plans (other
than to finance the cost of exercising options and any tax
liabilities arising from the Employee Share Plans or in
exceptional circumstances, for example financial hardship). New
Ordinary Shares comprised in the PRSP awards will count towards
the minimum level once the awards vest. New Ordinary Shares
comprised in the STDIP awards including matching New Ordinary
Shares will count towards the minimum level from the date of the
awards. Free New Ordinary Shares awarded under the SIP and the
Britvic SIP will count towards the minimum level.

certain major shareholders, subject to minor adjustments to take
account of changes in practice since IHG&#146;s admission to

All the Employee Share Plans may be amended by the Directors.
However, their basic structure and, in particular, the limits on
the number of New Ordinary Shares which may be issued under
them, cannot be altered to the advantage of participants without
prior shareholder approval. In the case of plans approved by the
Inland Revenue, amendments to their key features are subject to
the prior approval of the UK&nbsp;Inland Revenue while they
retain their approved status.

The maximum value of New Ordinary Shares over which options may

salary in the case of an employee who is a Director of the
Company, and four times annual salary in the case of other

ends by reason of ill-health, injury, disability, redundancy,

subsidiary by which the optionholder is employed, exercise is
normally only permitted, to the extent that the performance
condition has been satisfied, during the period of three and a

optionholder dies, the options may be exercised by the personal
representatives to the extent that the performance condition had
been satisfied at the time of death, during the period of twelve
months after the death. If an optionholder&#146;s employment
ends for any other reason, his options will lapse unless decided
otherwise on a discretionary basis.

In the event of a change of control of the Company, awards vest
to the extent that the performance condition has been satisfied.
The extent to which the award vests will be reduced to reflect

agreement with the acquiring company, be exchanged for
equivalent awards over shares in the acquiring company.

personal objectives.

The Britvic SIP allows free New Ordinary Shares to be given to
employees with a market value of up to &#163;3,000 each year.
The size of the award (if any) of free shares each year will be
determined by reference to an eligible employee&#146;s

The Britvic SIP allows eligible employees to be offered the
opportunity to purchase New Ordinary Shares using amounts
deducted from their pre-tax salary, subject to a limit of

monthly basis, or at the end of an accumulation period of up to

certain amounts payable to HPT IHG and HPT IHG-2 in relation to
the managed hotels sold by the Group to HPT IHG and HPT IHG-2.
The guarantee is for a maximum amount of US$125&nbsp;million and
requires amounts to be paid by IHG to HPT IHG and/or HPT IHG-2
(and/or their designated affiliates) irrespective of the revenue
generated by the relevant hotels. The guarantee may be
terminated if certain financial tests are met.

The agreed sale price for the LGR Shares was
&#163;1&nbsp;billion. Receipt of &#163;40&nbsp;million of the

In 1994, EBASA, an Argentinean company, claimed that it
negotiated room packages for the World Cup soccer games which
Holiday Inns, Inc. (&#147;<B>HII</B>&#148;) failed to deliver
and sought US$9&nbsp;million in damages. HII won a declaratory
ruling in the US courts that no contract existed. EBASA then
sued in the Argentinean courts. Although the Argentinean courts
have recognised the US court decision in several different
rulings, EBASA continues to hire new counsel and to file new
lawsuits and appeals seeking relief from the US court ruling and
raising their claims for damages to a high of US$57,000,000. The
large majority of the courts&#146; decisions have to date been
in favour of HII, and in April 2005 the Supreme Court of
Argentina ruled that the US declaratory ruling was valid and
should be given full force in Argentina. Certain actions brought

In May 1996, St. Charles City Center SAL (&#147;<B>St.
Charles</B>&#148;), a former lessor of a former Holiday Inn
hotel in Beirut, Lebanon, filed a claim in the Lebanese courts
seeking proceeds from an insurance policy which HII recovered
through settlement of litigation with the insurance carrier in
1985. The claim against the insurance carrier arose from damages
sustained to the hotel and its contents during the armed
conflict that occurred in Lebanon during the early 1970s. HII
contends, in part, that the proceeds represent recovery for
damage to furniture, fixtures, and equipment owned by it, as
well as the value of its leasehold interest in the hotel. St.
Charles contends that, as the owner of the building, it is
entitled to the settlement proceeds.

On 18&nbsp;May 2004, the court entered a default judgment
against the named defendants. The judgment is for US$9.5m (plus
interest) since 1985 plus an additional US$5m. The US$9.5m (plus
interest) represents the amount the owner erroneously believes
that the named defendant(s) received from the carrier and the
US$5m is in the nature of a penal fine or punitive damages.

The transfer of New Ordinary Shares will generally be liable to
stamp duty at the rate of 0.5&nbsp;per&nbsp;cent. of the amount

the US, (ii)&nbsp;a US domestic corporation, (iii)&nbsp;an
estate whose income is subject to US federal income tax
regardless of its source, or (iv)&nbsp;a trust if a US court can
exercise primary supervision over the trust&#146;s
administration and one or more United States persons are
authorised to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed
regulations, published rulings and court decisions. These laws
are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This
section is further based in part upon the representations of the
Depositary and assumes that each obligation in the Company ADR
Deposit Agreement and any related agreement will be performed in
accordance with its terms. For US federal income tax purposes, a
holder of ADRs evidencing ADSs will be treated as the owner of
the shares represented by those ADRs. Generally, exchanges of
ordinary shares for ADRs, and ADRs for ordinary shares, will not
be subject to US federal income tax or UK taxation on capital
gains.

The US Treasury has previously expressed concerns that parties
to whom ADRs are released may be taking actions that are
inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits for US
holders of ADSs. Such actions would also be inconsistent with
the claiming of the reduced rate of tax, described below, for
qualified dividend income. Accordingly, the analysis of the
availability of the reduced rate of tax for qualified dividend
income described below could be affected by actions taken by
parties to whom the ADRs are pre-released.

Subject to the passive foreign investment company
(&#147;<B>PFIC</B>&#148;) rules discussed below, a US holder is
subject to US federal income taxation on the gross amount of any
dividend paid by the Company out of its current or accumulated

paid to a non-corporate US holder in taxable years beginning

Dividends must be included in income when the US holder, in the
case of New Ordinary Shares, or the Depositary, in the case of
ADSs, actually or constructively receives the dividend, and will
not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally
allowed to US corporations in respect of dividends received from
other US corporations. For foreign tax credit limitation
purposes, dividends will be income from sources outside the
United States.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The amount of the dividend distribution will be the US dollar
value of the pound sterling payments made, determined at the
spot pound sterling/ US dollar rate on the date the dividend
distribution is includible in income, regardless of whether the
payment is in fact converted into US dollars. Generally, any
gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations
during the period from the date the dividend payment is
includible in income to the date the payment is converted into
US dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and, for
foreign tax credit limitation purposes, from sources within the
United States.

Distributions in excess of the Company&#146;s current or
accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for US federal
income tax purposes, will be treated as a return of capital to
the extent of the US holder&#146;s basis in the shares or ADSs
and thereafter as capital gain. Because the Company has not
historically maintained, and does not currently maintain, the
worldwide group&#146;s books in accordance with U.S.&nbsp;tax
principles, the Company does not expect to be in a position to
determine whether any distribution will be in excess of the
Company&#146;s current or accumulated earnings and profits as
computed for US federal income tax purposes. As a result, the
Company expects that amounts distributed will be reported to the
Internal Revenue Service as a dividend.

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a US holder that
sells or otherwise disposes of shares or ADSs will recognise a
capital gain or loss for US federal income tax purposes equal to
the difference between the US dollar value of the amount
realized and its tax basis, determined in US dollars, in the
shares or ADSs. Generally, a capital gain of a non-corporate US
holder that is recognised before 1&nbsp;January 2009 is taxed at
a maximum rate of 15&nbsp;per cent. where the holder has a
holding period greater than one year. The gain or loss will
generally be income or loss from sources within the US for
foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The deductibility of
losses is subject to limitation.

The Company expects that New Ordinary Shares and ADSs will not
be treated as stock of a PFIC for US federal income tax purposes
in 2005. However, this conclusion is an annual factual
determination and thus may be subject to change. If the Company
were to be treated as a PFIC, unless a US holder elects to be
taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to the New
Ordinary Shares or ADSs, a gain realised on the sale or other
disposition of New Ordinary Shares or ADSs would in general not
be treated as a capital gain. Instead, gain would be treated as
if the US holder had realized such gain rateably over the
holding period for the Company shares or ADSs and, to the extent
allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other exchange and
to any year before the Company became a PFIC, would be taxed as
ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year
would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such
year to which the gain was allocated, together with an interest
charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year. In
addition, similar rules would apply to any &#147;excess
distribution&#148; received on the New Ordinary Shares or ADSs
(generally, the excess of any distribution received on the New
Ordinary Shares or ADSs during the taxable year over
125&nbsp;per cent. of the average amount of distributions
received during a specified prior period), and the preferential
rate for &#147;qualified dividend income&#148; would not apply.

Australian Shareholders must include the dividends received on
those New Ordinary Shares in their assessable income. If any UK

The Australian FIF regime operates to tax Australian residents
who hold interests in certain foreign companies or trusts on
increases in value of those interests each year, whether or not
realised. In broad terms, Australian Shareholders should not

Ordinary Shares for so long as those shares are listed on the
London Stock Exchange and the Company is designated by the
London Stock Exchange as being engaged in the leisure,
entertainment and hotels industry.

A capital gain will generally arise if, and to the extent that,
the sale proceeds exceed the cost base of the shares. If
Australian Shareholders hold the shares (or are treated under
the capital gains tax rules as holding the shares, for example

This document contains certain forward-looking statements as
defined under Section&nbsp;21E of the US Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act. Such
statements include, but are not limited to, statements made by
management about the proposed Return and dividend policies of
New IHG. These forward-looking statements can be identified by
the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current
facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as
&#147;target&#148;, &#147;expect&#148;, &#147;intend&#148;,
&#147;believe&#148; or other words of similar meaning. By their
nature, forward-looking statements are inherently predictive,
speculative and involve risk and uncertainty. There are a number
of factors that could cause actual results and developments to
differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such
forward-looking statements.

Some factors that could affect the business and the financial
results are described in the &#147;Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-looking Statements&#148; section of the Annual Report on
Form&nbsp;20-F for the financial year ended 31 December 2004
filed with the SEC.

The Company has announced that it is intending to return
approximately &#163;1 billion to Shareholders, which the Board
believes is surplus to the requirements of the business. This
means that, subject to the completion of the UK&nbsp;Hotels
Disposal, and provided all necessary approvals are obtained and
you are a Shareholder as at 9.00&nbsp;p.m. on 24&nbsp;June 2005,
part of your investment in IHG will be returned to you. All
Shareholders will exchange their shareholding in IHG for a
combination of shares in a newly formed company (called
&#147;New InterContinental Hotels Group PLC&#148; (&#147;New
IHG&#148;)), which will own IHG, and cash. In addition,
additional distributable reserves will be created in
New&nbsp;IHG.

It is intended that, subject amongst other things to the Scheme
becoming effective, New IHG will, with effect from the date of
Admission, adopt the name &#147;InterContinental Hotels Group
PLC&#148; to reflect the continuity of management and business,
and IHG will change its name to InterContinental Hotels PLC and
re-register as a limited company shortly thereafter.

is purely a structural change to facilitate the Return, and the

The Return will only happen once all the necessary approvals
have been obtained. The New Ordinary Shares are expected to be
listed, and therefore capable of being traded, from 27&nbsp;June
2005. Your new share certificate and cash payment are expected
to be despatched to you by 8&nbsp;July 2005 if you hold your
shares in the form of a share certificate.

The Return represents approximately 26.5&nbsp;per cent. of the
Company&#146;s market capitalisation as at London market close
on 29 April 2005, the latest practicable date prior to the
publication of this document. The number of New Ordinary Shares
which you will hold following the Return will be approximately
26.5&nbsp;per cent. lower (subject to rounding) than the number
of Existing Ordinary Shares which you currently hold to reflect
the fact that you are receiving cash under the Return.
<B>However, you will own the same proportion of New IHG, subject
to adjustments for fractional entitlements, after the Proposals
as you held in IHG before the Proposals.</B>

<B>Recommended proposals for the return of approximately
&#163;1&nbsp;billion to Shareholders by way of a capital
reorganisation</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
On 10&nbsp;March 2005 your Board announced its intention to
return surplus capital to Shareholders subject to completion of
the UK Hotels Disposal. In this document we set out the details
of how this return of capital will be achieved. We are proposing
to seek Shareholder approval and the sanction of the Court to
introduce a new listed parent company of the Group, New
InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (&#147;New IHG&#148;), and to
return approximately &#163;1&nbsp;billion to Shareholders by way
of a Scheme of Arrangement. Shortly after the Scheme becomes
effective it is proposed to seek a further sanction of the Court
to reduce the capital of New IHG. This allows us to create
additional distributable reserves in New IHG, providing New IHG
with additional flexibility going forward.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
The purpose of this Circular is to provide Shareholders with
details of the Scheme and the Return, together with other
matters, and to explain why the Directors consider the Proposals
to be in the best interests of IHG and its Shareholders as a
whole.

<B>The Proposals are important and require IHG Shareholder
approval at two separate meetings, the Court Meeting and the
EGM, both of which are to be held on 1 June 2005 immediately
following the Company&#146;s AGM. The Return cannot take place
until we have both Shareholder and Court approval for the
Proposals.</B>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
<B>The Board unanimously recommends you to vote in favour of the
Proposals and urges you to complete, sign and return the two
Forms of Proxy enclosed with this document as soon as possible
but in any event so as to be received no later than 11.00 a.m.
and 11.15 a.m. on 30 May 2005 for the Court Meeting and the EGM

IHG is executing a strategy for growth through branding,
managing and franchising hotels and, accordingly, hotels will
only be owned where they support or drive IHG brands. As such,
the Group has disposed of a number of hotels that it had
historically owned or leased, converting many of them into

managed hotels and thereby releasing capital employed in the
Group. Since management or franchising arrangements require less
capital investment than owning the hotels outright, the
Group&#146;s capital needs are lower than was previously the
case. The Directors have in this case therefore decided to
return excess funds to Shareholders.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
As part of this process of returning excess funds, the Group
announced (in March 2004) an on-market share repurchase
programme for &#163;250&nbsp;million. By 20&nbsp;December 2004
the programme was completed with, in total, 45.6&nbsp;million
shares repurchased at an average price of 548&nbsp;pence per
share. In September 2004 the Group announced a further
&#163;750&nbsp;million return of funds to shareholders (bringing
the total amount committed to be returned to shareholders since
the demerger of the Six Continents group in April 2003 to
&#163;1&nbsp;billion). This comprised a proposed special
dividend of approximately &#163;500&nbsp;million and a further
&#163;250&nbsp;million share repurchase programme. On
17&nbsp;December 2004, &#163;501&nbsp;million was returned to
shareholders by way of a special dividend of 72p&nbsp;per share.
This special dividend was accompanied by a consolidation of the
Company&#146;s ordinary share capital on the basis of 25 new
ordinary shares for every 28&nbsp;existing ordinary shares,
effective from 13&nbsp;December 2004. The further
&#163;250&nbsp;million share repurchase programme commenced on
20&nbsp;December 2004. By 25&nbsp;April 2005, a total of
20.3&nbsp;million shares had been repurchased under the second
repurchase programme at an average price per share of
632&nbsp;pence (total, approximately &#163;128&nbsp;million).

Following completion of the UK Hotels Disposal, the Group will
have additional funds available for return to Shareholders. In
determining the amount of capital to be returned, the Directors
have sought to balance the Group&#146;s expected future capital
requirements and the desire to increase return on capital
employed. As a result they have determined that a further return
of approximately &#163;1&nbsp;billion, in addition to the
&#163;1&nbsp;billion already committed, is appropriate. The
further return of approximately &#163;1&nbsp;billion and the
Scheme is, however, subject to completion of the UK Hotels
Disposal.

In order to implement the Proposals, IHG must go through a Court
approved scheme of arrangement. This will result in a new listed
company (New IHG) becoming the new parent company of IHG. The
introduction of New IHG as the new parent company of the Group
is purely a structural change to facilitate the Return, and the
management and business of the Group will not change as a result
of the Proposals. It is intended that, subject to the Scheme
becoming effective, New IHG will, with effect from the date of
Admission, adopt the name &#147;InterContinental Hotels Group
PLC&#148; to reflect the continuity of management and business,
and IHG will change its name to InterContinental Hotels PLC and
re-register as a limited company shortly thereafter. Following
the Scheme of Arrangement, New IHG will go through a Court
approved reduction of capital to create distributable reserves
to provide it with additional flexibility going forward.

Shareholders will become shareholders in New IHG, the new parent
company of the Group. The Group will continue to have the same
business and management team as IHG currently has. New IHG has
not and will not trade or undertake any business prior to
becoming the new parent company of the Group. All Shareholder
mandates relating to payment of dividends on Existing Ordinary
Shares, and all instructions given to IHG in relation to notices
and other communications in force at the Scheme Record Time
will, unless and until revoked or varied, be deemed as from the
Scheme Effective Time to be valid and effective mandates and
instructions to New IHG in relation to the corresponding
holdings of New Ordinary Shares.

In order to be able to effect the Proposals, Shareholder
approval for the Scheme of Arrangement is required. Shareholder
approval is needed at both a Shareholder meeting convened by the
Court and at the EGM. The Scheme also requires the sanction of
the Court.

At the Court Meeting, voting will be by poll and not by a show
of hands. A poll means that each Shareholder who is entitled to
be present and to vote (or his or her proxy) has one vote for
every Existing Ordinary Share which he or she holds or
represents. The Scheme must be approved at the Court Meeting by
a majority in number representing 75&nbsp;per cent. in nominal
value of the Existing Ordinary Shares held by those present and
voting, in person or by proxy.

All of the existing employee share schemes adopted by IHG will
be replaced by the New IHG Employee Share Schemes. The rules of
these new schemes will be identical in all material respects to
the existing schemes. In particular, they will contain the same
restrictions on the issue of new shares (dilution limits) and on
the maximum benefits which may be awarded to employees. In the
application of the dilution limits, account will be taken of
options and awards that will be granted over New Ordinary Shares
in substitution for options and awards granted under the IHG
Employee Share Schemes. Accordingly, Shareholders&#146; approval
is not being sought for the new schemes.

     The Group has seen encouraging performance in the US. The key
    midscale brands, Express and Holiday Inn are showing rate
    growth. Crowne Plaza RevPAR is growing strongly, driven by
    strong performance in the meeting segment and the
    InterContinental brand is delivering strong results in key
    cities (e.g. New York). The UK, and particularly London, is
    showing strong RevPAR growth, driven by the corporate segment.
    The Group is seeing continued weakness in some Continental
    European markets (e.g. France, Benelux) but Germany is showing
    some positive signs. The Group&#146;s business in the Middle
    East continues to deliver positive results, while the
    InterContinental Hong Kong had a good start to the year with
    double-digit RevPAR growth and mainland China also performed
    strongly.</TD>

Also as part of the presentation of the preliminary results,
information was provided in relation to the Britvic business.
Turnover increased by 5&nbsp;per cent. for the full financial
year, with volume up 2&nbsp;per cent., but operating profit had
reduced by 4&nbsp;per cent., affected by investment in the
business, pension costs and poor weather. Capital expenditure
is, however, expected to be less in 2005, and the year started
positively with volume increases over the previous year, and
several initiatives planned with the intention of increasing
profit and tightly controlling costs.

Based on the information available to the Directors at the date
of this document, the Directors believe that there has been no
material change in the broad trend of current trading since
10&nbsp;March 2005 and the outlook for the Group&#146;s trading
for the full financial year remains in line with the
Directors&#146; expectations.

&#147;Electronic proxy appointment&#148; is available for the
AGM. This facility enables Shareholders to lodge their proxy
appointment by electronic means on a website provided by the
Registrar, or for those who hold their shares in CREST, through
the CREST electronic appointment service. Shareholders should
note however, that due to technical requirements of the Scheme
such facility will not be available for the appointment of
proxies in respect of the Court Meeting and the EGM.
Shareholders are instead asked to sign and return in hard copy
(faxes will not be accepted) the Forms of Proxy to the Registrar
by the time and in the manner described in section&nbsp;2 below
of this Part&nbsp;2.

attend, speak and vote at the Court Meeting and the EGM (or, if
they are not attending the meetings, to appoint someone else as
their &#147;proxy&#148; to vote on their behalf) if they are on
the IHG register at 6.00&nbsp;p.m. on 30&nbsp;May 2005. Changes
to entries of the register of members after that time will be
disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend
and/or vote at the meeting. If either meeting is adjourned, only
those Shareholders on the IHG register at 6.00&nbsp;p.m. on the
day which is two days before the date of the adjourned meeting
are entitled to attend, speak and vote or to appoint a proxy.

of &#163;50,000 in New IHG. Immediately following the
implementation of the Scheme, all of the remaining share capital

Prior to the Scheme Effective Time, IHG may issue a limited
number of ordinary shares so as to ensure that there will be a
whole number of New Ordinary Shares in issue after the Scheme
Effective Time. In addition, the New IHG Subscribers may acquire
a limited number of shares in IHG prior to the Scheme Effective
Time for tax reasons. Fractional entitlements to New Ordinary
Shares will not be allotted to Shareholders but will be
aggregated and issued to a nominee and sold on
Shareholders&#146; behalf. These New Ordinary Shares will be
sold as soon as reasonably practicable following the
implementation of the Scheme and the net proceeds of such sale
will be sent to New IHG Shareholders in cash according to their
fractional entitlements (to be received at the same time as the
cash amount to which such Shareholders are otherwise entitled
pursuant to the terms of the Scheme). None of IHG, New IHG (nor
their respective directors or officers) or the nominee will have
any liability for any losses or damages arising as a result of
the timing or terms of this sale, barring bad faith or wilful
default. It is expected that the proceeds of such sales will be
sent by cheque by 8&nbsp;July 2005 save as regards New IHG
Shareholders who hold their shares through CREST, for whom it is
expected that such proceeds will be credited to the relevant
CREST account by the same date (to be received at the same time
as the cash amount to which such Shareholders are otherwise
entitled pursuant to the terms of the Scheme) unless New IHG
otherwise wishes to exercise its absolute discretion to issue
cheques in lieu thereof. As part of the Scheme, the Existing
Ordinary Shares will be cancelled and will cease to be valid.

Holders of Existing Ordinary Shares whose holdings are
registered in CREST will automatically have their New Ordinary
Shares credited to their CREST account, while certificated

The New IHG Reduction of Capital will be implemented to increase
the level of distributable reserves in New IHG in order to
provide additional flexibility going forward. The New IHG
Subscribers will resolve, conditional on the New Ordinary Shares
being issued pursuant to the Scheme, to reduce the share capital
so issued. Shareholders are being asked to approve this at the
EGM. The New IHG Reduction of Capital will also require the
confirmation of the Court (which will, among other things, seek
to ensure that New IHG creditors are adequately protected).

Under the New IHG Reduction of Capital, the share capital of New

10&nbsp;pence.

The Court Hearing to confirm the New IHG Reduction of Capital is

The Scheme will only become implemented in full when an office
copy of the Court Order sanctioning the Scheme and confirming
the related reduction of capital of IHG is registered by the

Assuming that the conditions set out above are satisfied, the
Scheme is expected to become effective on 27&nbsp;June 2005 and
the New IHG Reduction of Capital on 30&nbsp;June 2005. The dates
and times set out in this document are based on IHG&#146;s
current expectation and may be subject to change. However, if
the Scheme has not become effective by 31&nbsp;December 2005 (or
such later date as IHG and New IHG may agree and the Court may
allow), it will lapse and neither the Scheme nor the New IHG
Reduction of Capital will proceed.

The Scheme contains a provision for IHG and New IHG jointly to
consent, on behalf of all concerned, to any modification of, or
addition or condition to, the Scheme which the Court may think
fit to approve or impose. The Court would be unlikely to approve
or impose any modification of, or addition or condition to, the
Scheme which might be material to the interests of IHG
Shareholders unless IHG Shareholders were informed of any such
modification, addition or condition. It would be a matter for
the Court to decide, in its discretion, whether or not a further
meeting of IHG Shareholders should be held. Similarly, if a

In order to fund the Return, relevant subsidiaries within the

Holders of IHG ADRs will not, except as mentioned below, be
entitled to attend the Court Meeting or the EGM. However, the
ADR Depositary, as registered holder of the Existing Ordinary
Shares underlying the IHG ADRs, will be so entitled and will
vote or appoint a proxy in respect of such shares in accordance
with written instructions received from holders of IHG ADRs and
in accordance with the IHG ADR Deposit Agreement. Alternatively,
holders of IHG ADRs who wish to attend the Court Meeting or the
EGM in person should take steps to present their IHG ADRs to the
ADR Depositary for cancellation and (upon compliance with the
terms of the IHG ADR Deposit Agreement, including payment of the
ADR Depositary&#146;s fees and any applicable taxes and
governmental charges) delivery of IHG Shares so as to become
registered holders of IHG Shares prior to the Voting Record Time.

Following the Scheme becoming effective, the Existing Ordinary

basis of the exchange ratio described in paragraph&nbsp;2 of

As a result of the Scheme, for each 15 IHG ADSs held at the
Scheme Record Time, holders of IHG ADRs will receive 11 New IHG
ADSs and, in connection with the Return, will also be paid the
US dollar equivalent of &#163;24.75 (net of expenses) after
8&nbsp;July 2005 for each such 15 IHG ADSs held.

Fractions of New IHG ADSs will not be issued to holders of IHG
ADRs. All fractions to which holders of IHG ADRs would otherwise
have been entitled will be aggregated and sold in the market as

entitled thereto.

Following the Scheme and the New IHG Reduction of Capital
becoming effective, the ADR Depositary will mail a notice to
registered holders of IHG ADRs regarding the mechanics of the
exchange of their existing IHG ADRs for New IHG ADRs. Registered
holders of IHG ADRs will need to follow the instructions set out
in this notice. ADR holders who hold their ADRs through a
broker, financial institution or other nominee or otherwise must
rely on the procedures of such broker, financial institution or
other nominee. After the Scheme and the New IHG Reduction of
Capital have become effective, upon instruction from New IHG,
the ADR Depositary will, upon surrender of IHG ADRs deliver New
IHG ADRs.

The New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Scheme have
not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act in
reliance on the exemption provided by Section&nbsp;3(a)(10)
thereof. It is expected that the New IHG ADSs will be registered

New Ordinary Shares issued to IHG Shareholders or to holders of
IHG ADRs who are neither affiliates for purposes of the
Securities Act, of IHG or New IHG prior to the Scheme Effective
Time, nor affiliates of New IHG after the Scheme Effective Time,
may be resold without restriction under the Securities Act.
Affiliates of IHG and New IHG will be subject to timing, manner
of sale and volume restrictions under Rule&nbsp;145(d) of the
Securities Act on resales of New Ordinary Shares received in
connection with the Scheme. Whether a person is an affiliate of
a company for purposes of the Securities Act depends on the
circumstances but affiliates can include certain officers,
directors and significant shareholders. Persons who believe they
may be affiliates of IHG or New IHG should consult their own
legal advisers prior to any sale of securities received in the
Scheme.

For the purpose of qualifying for the exemption provided by
Section&nbsp;3(a)(10) of the Securities Act, IHG will advise the
Court that its sanctioning of the Scheme will be relied on by
New IHG as an approval of the Scheme following a hearing on its
fairness to holders of Scheme Shares, at which Court hearing all
such IHG Shareholders are entitled to attend in person or
through counsel to support or oppose the sanctioning of the
Scheme and with respect to which notification has been given to
all such IHG Shareholders. The Court Hearing to sanction the

It is proposed that changes are made to the IHG&nbsp;Articles
and a provision is included in the Scheme so that if, in respect
of any Overseas Shareholder, IHG is advised that the allotment
and/or issue of New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Scheme would
or might infringe the laws of any jurisdiction outside the
United Kingdom, or would or might require IHG or New IHG to
observe any governmental or other consent or any registration,
filing or other formality with which either of them cannot
comply or compliance with which either of them considers unduly
onerous, IHG shall (unless such shareholder satisfies IHG that
no such infringement or requirement would apply) be entitled to
appoint a person to execute as transferor an instrument of
transfer of the Scheme Shares held by such holder transferring
such shares prior to the Scheme Record Time to a nominee to hold
such shares on trust for that holder on terms that the nominee
shall sell the New Ordinary Shares, if any, it receives pursuant
to the Scheme as soon as practicable following the Scheme
Effective Time at the best price which can reasonably be
obtained at the time of sale, with the net proceeds of sale
being remitted to the Overseas Shareholder. In the absence of
bad faith or wilful default, none of IHG, New IHG (nor their
respective directors or officers) or any person appointed to
sell such shares shall have any liability for any loss or damage

The amendments to IHG&#146;s Articles will ensure that any IHG
Ordinary Shares to be issued upon the exercise of options under
the IHG Employee Share Schemes or otherwise between the date of
the passing of the special resolution and 6.00 p.m. on the day
prior to the sanction by the Court of the Scheme, will be
subject to the Scheme. This will avoid any person other than New
IHG and its nominees being left with IHG Ordinary Shares after
dealings in such shares have ceased on the London Stock Exchange
(which will occur at the close of business on the Business Day
before the Scheme Effective Time).

The amendments to IHG&#146;s Articles will also authorise IHG to
procure the transfer of Existing Ordinary Shares held by
Overseas Shareholders to a nominee in certain circumstances and,
further, designate one unissued IHG Ordinary Share as a Deferred
Share which the Directors intend to issue to New IHG for 112
pence (to reflect the rights of that share) for the purpose of
implementing the Proposals.

In addition, it is intended that, conditional upon the Scheme
becoming effective, IHG will, with effect from the date of
Admission, change its name to InterContinental Hotels PLC
whereupon New IHG will adopt the name &#147;InterContinental
Hotels Group PLC&#148;. Shortly following Admission, it is
intended that InterContinental Hotels PLC re-register as a
limited company.

New IHG has prepared listing particulars in relation to the New
Ordinary Shares and will lodge them with the Registrar of
Companies in England and Wales in due course. The Listing
Particulars are not being sent to Shareholders but are
available, free of charge, until 1 June 2005 from IHG&#146;s
registered office and website (www.ihgplc.com) and via the
Shareholder Helpline and will be available for inspection only
during normal business hours at the Document Viewing Facility at
the Financial Services Authority, 25&nbsp;The&nbsp;North

<B>The comments below are based on existing UK law and what is
understood to be current Inland Revenue practice, both of which
are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive
effect. They are intended only as a general guide and apply only
to Shareholders who are resident or ordinarily resident for tax
purposes in (and only in) the UK (except insofar as express
reference is made to the treatment of non-UK residents), who
hold their Existing Ordinary Shares and their New Ordinary
Shares as an investment and who are the absolute beneficial
owners of such shares. The taxation position of certain
Shareholders who are subject to special rules, such as dealers
in securities, broker dealers, insurance companies and
collective investment schemes, is not considered and such
Shareholders and any persons who are in any doubt about their
tax position, or who are subject to tax in a jurisdiction
outside the UK, should consult their own professional
advisers.</B>

The cash received under the Return and the proceeds of the sale
of fractional entitlements to New Ordinary Shares will result in
Shareholders being treated as making a part disposal of their
holding of Existing Ordinary Shares for the purposes of UK
taxation of chargeable gains (&#147;CGT&#148;). The base cost of
that part of their holding treated as disposed of will be
determined (for the purposes of calculating any chargeable gain
or allowable loss for CGT purposes on the part disposal) by
applying the formula A/(A+B) to the base cost in their Existing
Ordinary Shares, where A is the amount of cash received by the
Shareholder (including cash received by reason of the sale of
fractional entitlements to New Ordinary Shares) and B is the
market value of the New Ordinary Shares received by
Shareholders, using the value of those shares on the first day
of dealing after the implementation of the Proposals. This may,
depending on a Shareholder&#146;s individual circumstances,
result in a chargeable gain or an allowable loss arising for CGT
purposes.

The cancellation of the Existing Ordinary Shares and the issue
of the New Ordinary Shares under the Scheme should constitute a
scheme of reconstruction for CGT purposes. This means that the
New Ordinary Shares that will be acquired by a Shareholder
should be treated as the same asset as his or her Existing
Ordinary Shares, acquired on the same date as the Existing
Ordinary Shares. The New Ordinary Shares should also be treated
as having been acquired for the same consideration as the
Existing Ordinary Shares were originally acquired, less the
amount of any such acquisition cost attributable to (i)&nbsp;the
cash received under the Return and (ii)&nbsp;the proceeds of the
sale of fractional entitlements to New Ordinary Shares.

Clearance has been obtained from the Inland Revenue under
Section&nbsp;138 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992
(&#147;TCGA&#148;) which confirms that the Scheme will be
treated as a scheme of reconstruction, with the consequences
outlined above.

On a subsequent disposal of the whole or part of his or her

A US Holder will not recognise gain or loss in connection with
the exchange of Old IHG Shares for New IHG Shares in the Scheme
except in respect of cash received in lieu of a fractional
share. The difference between the US Holder&#146;s tax basis
allocable to the fractional share and the cash received will be
capital gain or loss which will be long-term if the US Holder
has held its Old IHG Shares for more than one year.

A US Holder&#146;s tax basis in its New IHG Shares received will
equal the basis in its Old IHG Shares less any tax basis that is
allocable to any fractional New IHG Share for which cash is
received. A US&nbsp;Holder&#146;s holding period for its New IHG
Shares received in exchange for Old IHG Shares will include the
holding period for the Old IHG Shares exchanged.

It is likely that the Return will be treated as a distribution
with respect to New IHG Shares for US federal income tax
purposes. Such distribution will be treated as a dividend to the
extent not in excess of New IHG&#146;s and IHG&#146;s aggregate
current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for
US federal income tax purposes). Distributions that are in
excess of the aggregate of New IHG&#146;s and IHG&#146;s current
or accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return
of capital to the extent of the US holder&#146;s basis in the
shares and thereafter as a capital gain. Because IHG has not
historically maintained, and neither New IHG nor IHG currently
maintains, the worldwide Group&#146;s books in accordance with
US tax principles, New IHG and IHG do not expect to be in a
position to determine whether the return of cash will be in
excess of their current or accumulated earnings and profits. As
a result, it is expected that amounts distributed will be
reported to the Internal Revenue Service as a dividend. The
amount of dividend income will equal the US dollar equivalent of
the pounds sterling received by the holder based on the exchange
rate in effect on the day of receipt. A US Holder that converts
any pounds sterling received into US dollars on the same day
should generally not be required to recognise foreign currency
gain or loss.

Subject to applicable limitations and the discussion above
regarding concerns expressed by the US&nbsp;Treasury, such
dividend income paid to non-corporate US Holders should be
taxable at a maximum rate of 15&nbsp;per cent. US Holders should
consult their own tax advisers regarding the implications of
this legislation in their particular circumstances. Such
dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received
deduction generally allowed to US corporations with respect to
dividends from domestic corporations under the Code.

Information returns may be filed with the United States Internal
Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) in connection with the
capital reorganisation. A US Holder will be subject to US backup
withholding tax on these items unless the US Holder (i)&nbsp;is
a corporation or other exempt recipient or (ii)&nbsp;furnishes a
correct taxpayer identification number and complies with certain
certification procedures or otherwise establishes an exemption
from backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding
from a payment to a US Holder will be allowed as a credit
against the holder&#146;s US federal income tax liability and
may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required
information is furnished to the IRS.

An Australian Shareholder whose Existing Ordinary Shares are
cancelled under the Scheme will be subject to a capital gains
tax (&#147;CGT&#148;) event under Australian tax law. The
capital gains tax consequences will depend, in part, upon
whether roll-over relief is available and, if so, whether it is
obtained.

Generally, if the market value at the Scheme Effective Time of
the New Ordinary Shares together with the cash received under
the Return and the proceeds of the sale of the fractional
entitlements to the New Ordinary Shares exceed the cost base of
the Existing Ordinary Shares for capital gains tax purposes a
capital gain will arise equal to the excess.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
Australian Shareholders who realise a capital gain on the
disposal may qualify for the capital gains tax concession, known
as the CGT discount, which allows them to bring only 50&nbsp;per
cent. of the capital gain (after taking into account capital
losses) into account for tax. The concession will generally only
apply if an Australian Shareholder has held his or her Existing
Ordinary Shares for at least 12&nbsp;months prior to the
cancellation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">
If the market value at the Scheme Effective Time of the New
Ordinary Shares together with any cash received under the Return
and the proceeds of the sale of the fractional entitlements to
the New Ordinary Shares is less than the cost base of the
Existing Ordinary Shares for capital gains tax purposes, then a
capital loss will generally arise equal to the difference. A
capital loss may only be applied by an Australian Shareholder to
offset any capital gains realised during the same year of income
or during a later year of income. A capital loss may not be
offset against other income.

The cost base of the New Ordinary Shares received under the
Scheme will include an amount equal to the market value of an
Australian Shareholder&#146;s Existing Ordinary Shares
immediately before the Scheme Effective Time less the aggregate
of the cash received under the Return and the proceeds of the
sale of the fractional entitlements to the New Ordinary Shares.

In some circumstances, sections 45A and 45B of the Australian
Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 give the Australian Commissioner
of Taxation a discretion to deem a return of capital made by a
company to be taxable as if it were a dividend. For example,
section 45B may be applied where, having regard to a number of
factors, it would be concluded that capital was returned to a
shareholder (in lieu of the payment of a dividend) for the
purpose of reducing the shareholder&#146;s tax liability.
Neither the Company nor New IHG has applied for a ruling from
the Australian Commissioner of Taxation to confirm that these
provisions will not be applied. Australian Shareholders should
seek their own advice on such matters.

The appointment of each non-executive Director (a
&#147;Non-Executive Director&#148;) is subject to the IHG
Articles and accordingly, they are subject to re-election at an
annual general meeting of IHG at least once every three years.
In addition, the appointment of Mr&nbsp;Webster may be
terminated by either party with six month&#146;s written notice
and may be terminated by IHG without any notice in the event of
a breach of the terms of his appointment.

Each Non-Executive Director is subject to a confidentiality
undertaking without limitation in time, must disclose any
potential conflict of interest at the earliest opportunity and
must not take up a post with any other company in competition

Mr&nbsp;Webster is also subject to non-compete and
non-solicitation of employees obligations for a maximum period
of six months following termination of his appointment.

Mr&nbsp;Webster is provided with a company car and a chauffeur
in connection with the performance of his duties. The
Non-Executive Directors are also entitled to reimbursement of
business expenses. Other than that, none of the Non-Executive
Directors is eligible to receive any other remuneration or
benefits as consideration for the performance of his duties
(including pension, share options and any other incentive
arrangements).

In 1994, EBASA, an Argentinean company, claimed that it
negotiated room packages for the World Cup soccer games which
Holiday Inns, Inc. (&#147;HII&#148;) failed to deliver and
sought US$9&nbsp;million in damages. HII won a declaratory
ruling in the US courts that no contract existed. EBASA then
sued in the Argentinean courts. Although the Argentinean courts
have recognised the US court decision in several different
rulings, EBASA continues to hire new counsel and to file new
lawsuits and appeals seeking relief from the US court ruling and
raising their claims for damages to a high of US$57,000,000. The
large majority of the courts&#146; decisions have to date been
in favour of HII, and in April 2005 the Supreme Court of
Argentina ruled that the US declaratory ruling was valid and
should be given full force in Argentina. Certain actions brought
by EBASA (and a related action brought by the Argentine Football
Association in relation to lost sales of tickets with a face
value of approximately US$300,000 (exclusive of interest and
related legal costs)) remain open in Argentina. The likely
outcome cannot be determined at this time.

In May 1996, St. Charles City Center SAL (&#147;St.
Charles&#148;), a former lessor of a former Holiday Inn hotel in
Beirut, Lebanon, filed a claim in the Lebanese courts seeking
proceeds from an insurance policy which HII recovered through
settlement of litigation with the insurance carrier in 1985. The
claim against the insurance carrier arose from damages sustained
to the hotel and its contents during the armed conflict that
occurred in Lebanon during the early 1970s. HII contends, in
part, that the proceeds represent recovery for damage to
furniture, fixtures, and equipment owned by it, as well as the
value of its leasehold interest in the hotel. St. Charles
contends that, as the owner of the building, it is entitled to
the settlement proceeds.

On 18&nbsp;May 2004, the court entered a default judgment
against the named defendants. The judgment is for US$9.5m (plus
interest) since 1985 plus an additional US$5m. The US$9.5m (plus
interest) represents the amount the owner erroneously believes
that the named defendants(s) received from the carrier and the
US$5m is in the nature of a penal fine or punitive damages.

formal notification procedure to each of the named defendants,

(Holdings) Limited (&#147;IHC Holdings&#148;) and LGR
Acquisition and LGR Holdings Limited (&#147;LGR&#148;). Pursuant
to the SPA, Six Continents and IHC Holdings (the
&#147;Sellers&#148;) have agreed to sell all of the issued
ordinary share capital of Six Continents Hotels &#38; Holidays
Limited, Holiday Inn Limited, NAS Cobalt No.&nbsp;2 Limited and
London Forum Hotel Limited respectively (together, the &#147;LGR
Shares&#148;) to LGR and to transfer to LGR certain contractual
rights to the extent they relate to the hotels LGR will
indirectly acquire under the SPA (the &#147;LGR Hotels&#148;)
and which remain to be completed or performed, or remain in
force, after completion of the sale of the LGR Shares to LGR
under the SPA.

The agreed sale price for the LGR Shares was
&#163;1&nbsp;billion. Receipt of &#163;40&nbsp;million of the
total proceeds has been deferred, contingent upon certain
pre-agreed performance targets being reached. Completion of the
SPA is conditional upon the receipt of EC Clearance. Following
completion, the Group will continue to manage the LGR Hotels.

CREST, the computerised paperless system for settlement of sales
and purchases of shares in the London securities markets,
commenced operations in July 1996.

The Uncertificated Securities Regulations provide for the
transfer of shares in the UK without stock transfer forms, and
the evidencing of title to shares without share certificates,
through a computer-based system and procedures, defined in the
Uncertificated Securities Regulations as a &#147;relevant
system&#148;. CREST is the first &#147;relevant system&#148; and
is operated by CRESTCo.

The New IHG Articles will contain provisions to enable the New
Ordinary Shares to be dematerialised into a relevant system,
including CREST. A copy of the New IHG Articles is available for
inspection as described in paragraph&nbsp;16 of Section&nbsp;B
of this Part&nbsp;6 below.

Shareholders will be able to hold eligible shares in electronic
form in an account on the CREST system or to continue to hold
them in the physical form of certificates. Each Shareholder will
be able to choose whether or not to convert his eligible shares
into uncertificated form and the Registrar will continue to
register written instructions of transfer and issue share
certificates in respect of New Ordinary Shares held in
certificated form.

The distribution of New Ordinary Shares in Canada is exempt from

that province. Canadian resident holders of New Ordinary Shares
