Dear Shareholder
I am delighted to enclose IHG's Annual Report and Form 20-F 2022. The Annual Report and Form 20-F is also available in electronic form at www.ihgplc.com/investors under Annual Report. Our website contains comprehensive information relating to the Company and is the best place to get the latest news on IHG.
I am also pleased to confirm that the Board is recommending a final divided for 2022 of 94.5 cents, an increase of 10% on 2021. Together with the interim dividend of 43.9 cents paid in October 2022, this would mean a total dividend for 2022 of 138.4 cents, representing an increase of 61% on 2021 (when no interim dividend was paid). Subject to shareholder approval at IHG's 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM), the final dividend will be paid on 16 May 2023 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 31 March 2023. The sterling amount of the final dividend will be announced on 26 April 2023, calculated based on the average of the market exchange rates for the three working days commencing 21 April 2023.
I am also pleased to report that the share buyback programme announced in February to return an additional \$750 million to shareholders in 2023 is under way.
Our AGM will be held on Friday 5 May 2023. Further information on the AGM will be sent to you separately together with the Notice of AGM, which will set out the resolutions to be put to the AGM as well as information about the business of the AGM.
Yours faithfully
Deanna Oppenheimer Chair
