Keith has been a part of IHG for more than 30 years and was
appointed to the Board and as CEO in July 2017. Executing a clear
strategy, he has transformed IHG to position the company for
long-term sustainable growth, surpassing 6,000 open hotels,
broadening the portfolio with the addition of seven brands in six
years, significantly investing in IHG's digital capabilities and
loyalty offer, embarking on a 10-year responsible business
strategy, and progressing in key areas of DE&amp;I. During Keith's
tenure, IHG has also successfully navigated a global pandemic and
continued to grow its footprint and reputation with key
stakeholders around the world.</font></div>

Elie joined IHG as Americas CEO in February 2015. Under his
leadership, the region's estate has grown from approximately 3,700
hotels to more than 4,350. Elie led the delivery of record profits,
oversaw the launch of new brands and formats, and strengthened how
the business drives value for our hotel owners. Elie has spent
several decades in the global hospitality sector and has a breadth
of experience spanning hotel development, branding, finance, real
estate and operations management, as well as food and beverage
expertise, with a strong track record of delivering exceptional
results. Elie has lived and worked internationally including in
Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and the US, and speaks four
languages.</font></div>

has been a pleasure to work with Keith, and on behalf of the Board
and our colleagues I want to thank him for his successful
leadership of IHG and congratulate him on his remarkable
contribution. Starting in our hotels in the US before moving into
corporate roles that have seen him work across international
markets, Keith has used all his experience to lead a true
transformation of IHG in his six years as CEO. He has rallied a
business around a clear strategy with hotel owners and guests at
its heart, strengthened IHG's enterprise platform, and placed the
business on a path to long-term sustainable growth and to continue
an excellent track record of shareholder value creation. He has
achieved this with great warmth and personality - not least during
the depths of the pandemic - and we wish him the very best for the
future.</font></font></div>

years and Elie's appointment is the result of a rigorous process
and a commitment to invest in the development of our leaders, as
was the case when Keith became CEO in 2017. Elie has been an
instrumental part of our business in his eight years running our
largest operating region and as a member of the Board since 2018.
His significant industry experience and deep understanding of our
business makes him extremely well placed to take on the role of CEO
and ensure we continue to progress and execute against our
successful strategy. The Board and I look forward to working with
him in his new position."</font></div>

feel incredibly privileged to have spent three decades as part of
IHG, working alongside the many talented colleagues that make it
such a special company, and in partnership with our hotel owners
who share our passion for hospitality. I have been lucky enough to
experience this in multiple countries over the years and to have
spent the last six as CEO has been an honour. After a long time
living abroad, now is the right time for me and my family to return
to the US. I am proud of the strong position that IHG is in today,
thanks to the investments we have made to transform every aspect of
our business, deliver for our guests and owners, and grow and
operate our brands in the right way around the world. I'm excited
for what lies ahead for IHG and having worked so closely together,
