January 2019. In particular, the purpose of this document is to provide you with information about the background to and the reasons for the Share Consolidation, to explain why the Board considers the Share Consolidation to be in the best interests
of the Company and its Shareholders, and why the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting. </P>

return US$500&nbsp;million to Shareholders by way of a Special Dividend with a Share Consolidation. The purpose of the remainder of this document is to provide Shareholders with further details of the proposals, and to seek Shareholders&#146;
consent to the Share Consolidation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:arial">The proposed Special Dividend of approximately US$500 million represents US$2.621 per Existing Ordinary Share. The Board is
proposing to pay the Special Dividend to Shareholders on the Register as at 6.00pm on 11&nbsp;January 2019 in Pounds Sterling and to ADR holders on the ADR register as at 4.00pm (New York time) on 11&nbsp;January 2019 (being the close of business on
the day before the ADR effective date for the Share Consolidation) in US dollars, in each case as an interim dividend. The Special Dividend is expected to be paid to Shareholders and to holders of ADRs on 29 January 2019. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:arial"><B>Share Consolidation </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:arial">The effect of the Share Consolidation will be to reduce
the number of Ordinary Shares in issue (including those held in treasury) by approximately the same percentage as the total amount of the Special Dividend bears in relation to the market capitalisation of the Company before the Share Consolidation
is carried out. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:arial">The Share Consolidation is therefore intended to maintain comparability, as far as possible, of the Company&#146;s share price before and after the
payment of the Special Dividend. Accordingly, the value of any outstanding share awards granted under the Share Plans will be preserved (subject to normal market fluctuations) without the need to adjust the number of underlying Ordinary Shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:arial">As all Ordinary Shares will be consolidated, each Shareholder&#146;s percentage holdings in the total issued share capital of the Company immediately before and after the
implementation of the Share Consolidation will (save in respect of fractional entitlements) remain unchanged. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:arial">The Share Consolidation will replace every 20 Existing
Ordinary Shares with 19 New Ordinary Shares. Fractional entitlements arising from the Share Consolidation (including fractional shares credited to the ADR Depositary in its capacity as registered holder of the Existing Ordinary Shares underlying the
ADRs) will be aggregated and sold in the market on behalf of the relevant Shareholders. The proceeds of the sale are expected to be sent to Shareholders on 23 January 2019 in accordance with paragraph 2 of Appendix I. The value of any
Shareholder&#146;s fractional entitlement will not exceed the value of one New Ordinary Share. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:arial">To effect the Share Consolidation it may be necessary to issue or
repurchase for cancellation up to 19 additional Existing Ordinary Shares so that the number of the Company&#146;s Existing Ordinary Shares is exactly divisible by 20. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:arial">For purely illustrative purposes, examples of the effects of the Special Dividend and the Share Consolidation in respect of certain holdings of Existing Ordinary Shares

by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the Special Dividend is received by such US Holder regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into US dollars at such time. If the Special Dividend is converted into US dollars on
such date of receipt, a US Holder of Ordinary Shares generally should not be required to recognise foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. A US Holder of Ordinary Shares may have
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">US-source</FONT> foreign currency income or loss if the Special Dividend is converted into US dollars after the date of its receipt. </P>

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-corporate</FONT> US Holders should consult their tax advisers to determine whether they are entitled to be taxed at these preferential rates. If the preferential rates apply and the sum of the Special Dividend

derived in the active conduct of a trade or business); or (ii) 50&nbsp;per cent or more of the average quarterly value of its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Based on the manner in which the
Company operates its business and estimates the value of its assets (which estimates are based, in part, on the market value of the Company&#146;s Ordinary Shares), the Company believes that it was not a PFIC for its 2017 taxable year and does not
expect to be a PFIC for the 2018 taxable year. However, because PFIC status depends upon the composition of a company&#146;s income and assets and the fair market value of its assets from time to time, and the Company has not reviewed its status as
a PFIC for all prior taxable years, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be, or was not, a PFIC for any taxable year. If the Company were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a US Holder held Ordinary Shares or ADSs,
certain adverse US federal income tax consequences could apply to such US Holder upon a disposition of Ordinary Shares or ADSs or receipt of certain excess distributions. US Holders are urged to consult their own independent tax advisers concerning
the US federal income tax consequences to them if the Company has been or becomes a PFIC for any taxable year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:arial"><B>Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On Friday, 19&nbsp;October 2018, the Board of IHG announced its intention to return US$500&nbsp;million to Shareholders via a Special Dividend with a Share
Consolidation. The Board today announces it is publishing a circular (the &#147;<B>Circular</B>&#148;) setting out full details of the proposed Special Dividend and associated Share Consolidation and convening a General Meeting to be held at 10.00am
on Friday, 11&nbsp;January 2019 at the Crowne Plaza London Kings Cross, 1 King&#146;s Cross Road, London WC1X 9HX. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Special dividend </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The proposed amount of the Special Dividend is US$2.621 per Existing Ordinary Share. The corresponding amount in pounds sterling will be announced on Thursday,
17&nbsp;January 2019, calculated based on the average of the market exchange rates for the three dealing days commencing Monday, 14&nbsp;January 2019. The Board is proposing to pay the Special Dividend to Shareholders on the Register as at 6.00pm on
Friday, 11&nbsp;January 2019 in pounds sterling and to ADR holders on the ADR register as at 4.00pm (New York time) on Friday, 11&nbsp;January 2019 (being the close of business on the day before the ADR effective date) in US dollars. The Special
Dividend is expected to be paid to Shareholders and to ADR holders on Tuesday, 29&nbsp;January 2019. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Share consolidation </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is proposed that the payment of the Special Dividend be accompanied by a consolidation of the Company&#146;s ordinary share capital. A resolution to effect
the Share Consolidation will be proposed at the General Meeting, details of which are set out in the Circular. The Share Consolidation proposes to replace every 20 Existing Ordinary Shares of IHG with 19 New Ordinary Shares. Upon the Share
Consolidation, the nominal value of the Ordinary Shares will change from 19 <SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">17</SUP>/<SUB STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:bottom">21</SUB> pence per Ordinary Share to 20 <SUP
STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">340</SUP>/<SUB STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:bottom">399</SUB> pence per Ordinary Share. Fractional entitlements arising from the Share Consolidation will be aggregated and sold in the market on
behalf of the relevant Shareholders. The proceeds of the sale are expected to be sent to Shareholders on Wednesday, 23&nbsp;January 2019. The value of any Shareholder&#146;s fractional entitlement will not exceed the value of one New Ordinary Share.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The effect of the Share Consolidation will be to reduce the number of Ordinary Shares in issue by approximately the same percentage as the total amount
of the Special Dividend bears in relation to the market capitalisation of the Company before the Share Consolidation is carried out. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As all ordinary
shareholdings in the Company will be consolidated, Shareholders&#146; percentage holdings in the issued share capital of the Company will (save in respect of fractional entitlements) remain unchanged. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Authority to purchase own shares </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board will also
submit to its Shareholders at the General Meeting a proposal for a renewed authority to enable the Company to make market purchases of its New Ordinary Shares following the Share Consolidation. In line with the existing authority approved at the
Company&#146;s AGM on Friday, 4&nbsp;May&nbsp;2018, the proposal seeks authority to purchase up to approximately 10&nbsp;per cent of its new issued share capital after the Share Consolidation. Further details of this proposal are set out in the
Circular. </P>
