<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">On
Friday, 19 October 2018, the Board of IHG announced its intention
to return US$500 million to Shareholders via a Special Dividend
with a Share Consolidation. The Board today announces it is
publishing a circular (the "<font style="font-weight: bold">Circular</font>") 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
January 2019 at the Crowne Plaza London Kings Cross, 1 King's Cross
Road, London WC1X 9HX.</font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px">
<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">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 January 2019, calculated based on the
average of the market exchange rates for the three dealing days
commencing Monday, 14 January 2019.&#xA0; The Board is proposing to
pay the Special Dividend to Shareholders on the Register as at
6.00pm on Friday, 11 January 2019 in pounds sterling and to ADR
holders on the ADR register as at 4.00pm (New York time) on Friday,
11 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
January 2019.</font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px">
<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">It is
proposed that the payment of the Special Dividend be accompanied by
a consolidation of the Company'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 <font style="font-size: 70%; vertical-align: top">17</font>/<font style="font-size: 70%; vertical-align: bottom">21</font> pence per
Ordinary Share to 20 <font style="font-size: 70%; vertical-align: top">340</font>/<font style="font-size: 70%; vertical-align: bottom">399</font> 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 January 2019. The value
of any Shareholder's fractional entitlement will not exceed the
value of one New Ordinary Share.</font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px">
<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">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.</font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">As all

Shareholders' percentage holdings in the issued share capital of
the Company will (save in respect of fractional entitlements)
remain unchanged.</font></div>

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's AGM on Friday, 4&#xA0;May&#xA0;2018, the proposal seeks
authority to purchase up to approximately 10 per cent of its new
issued share capital after the Share Consolidation. Further details
of this proposal are set out in the Circular.</font></div>
