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.
