Results of General Meeting: Special Dividend and Share Consolidation
 
At IHG's General Meeting held today, Friday, 11 January 2019, Shareholders approved both of the Resolutions set out in the Notice of General Meeting sent to Shareholders on Friday, 14 December 2018. These Resolutions were in connection with IHG's proposed Share Consolidation and the obtaining of a new authority to enable the Company to make market purchases of its New Ordinary Shares following the implementation of the Share Consolidation.
 
Special Dividend
 
The Share Consolidation was proposed in the context of a Special Dividend of US$2.621 per Existing Ordinary Share or per ADS (as applicable) immediately prior to the Share Consolidation.  Following today's approval of both of the Resolutions by Shareholders, the Board has approved the payment of the Special Dividend to Shareholders on the Register as at 6.00pm today, Friday, 11 January 2019, in Pounds Sterling and to ADR holders on the ADR register as at 4.00pm (New York time) today, Friday, 11 January 2019 (being the close of business on the day before the ADR effective date), in US dollars, such dividend to be paid on Tuesday, 29 January 2019.  The corresponding amount in Pounds Sterling of the Special Dividend will be announced on 17 January 2019, calculated based on the average of the market exchange rates for the three dealing days commencing 14 January 2019.
 
Listing and Trading Application
 
Application has been made for 187,717,720 New Ordinary Shares of 20 340/399 pence to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List to the UK Listing Authority and to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities to the London Stock Exchange.  It is expected that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00am on Monday, 14 January 2019 and that dealings in the New ADSs will commence at 9.30am (New York time) on Monday, 14 January 2019.
