IHG Reduction of Capital

At a hearing of the High Court of Justice in England and Wales on 29 June 2005, the Court approved the proposed reduction of capital (the "Reduction") of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC ("IHG"). The Reduction became effective earlier today when the nominal value of each ordinary share was reduced from 625 pence to 10 pence. The Reduction facilitates the creation of distributable reserves in IHG, providing additional financial flexibility going forward.

Citigroup Global Markets Limited is acting for IHG and no-one else in connection with the transaction of which the Reduction forms part and will not be responsible to anyone other than IHG for providing the protections afforded to its clients or for providing advice in relation to the transaction or the contents of this announcement.

This announcement does not constitute an offer or invitation to purchase securities.
