Dear Shareholder
I am pleased to confirm the Notice of this year's Annual General Meeting ('AGM') has been published and is available on the Company's website www.ihgplc.com. The AGM will be held at 11.00am on Thursday 8 May 2025, at the Holiday Inn Kensington, Wrights Lane, London W8 5SP.
The Board is looking forward to welcoming shareholders who attend the AGM in person. There will be a limited offering of refreshments at the AGM. If you attend the AGM, please bring this letter with you as evidence of your right to be admitted.
For shareholders who are not able to attend in person, we have arranged for a live webcast facility to be put in place which will enable shareholders to view the AGM. As with previous AGMs, the webcast will be facilitated by Lumi, an experienced provider of virtual shareholder meeting services. To view the webcast, shareholders can access the AGM website https://web.lumiagm.com/135-424-277.
Further details of how to view the live webcast are set out below and a user guide is included as the Appendix to the Notice of AGM.
Your vote is important to us. The live webcast will not include a voting facility, so we strongly encourage you to vote in advance by appointing the Chair of the meeting as your proxy. You can register your proxy vote in advance electronically at www.shareview.co.uk. If you have not already registered, you will require your Shareholder Reference Number shown below. To be valid, the proxy vote must reach the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, by no later than 11.00am on Tuesday 6 May 2025 or, if the AGM is adjourned, 48 hours before the time of the adjourned AGM. The appointment of a proxy does not prevent a member from attending the AGM and voting in person. The results of the voting will be published on our website as soon as practicable after the AGM. If you wish to receive a paper Form of Proxy, please contact our registrar, Equiniti, using the contact information in the additional information section at the end of this letter.

We also recognise the importance of being able to answer your questions. If you are not able to attend the meeting in person and you have any questions relating to the business of the meeting which you would like to have considered, these can be submitted in advance to the Company by email to [email protected], and should include your Shareholder Reference Number (shown above). We request that questions be submitted by 5.00pm on Monday 5 May 2025.
The Notice of AGM sets out the resolutions to be put to the AGM and information about the business of the AGM. Explanatory notes on the business to be considered at the AGM are included with the Notice of AGM. The Notice of AGM can be viewed on the Company's website www.ihgplc.com.
In addition to the standard items of business, I would like to highlight the following:
I am pleased to confirm that the Board is recommending a final dividend for 2024 of 114.4 cents per ordinary share. Subject to shareholder approval at the AGM, the final dividend will be paid on 15 May 2025 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 4 April 2025. The sterling amount of the final dividend will be announced on 28 April 2025, calculated based on the average of the market exchange rates for the three working days commencing 23 April 2025.
Please note that, following payment of the final dividend for 2024, payments to shareholders will no longer be made by cheque. Receiving dividends by direct payment rather than cheque is quicker, more secure and better for the environment. To continue to receive dividends and any other money payable in connection with holdings of the Company's shares, you will need to provide bank or building society account details so that payments can be made directly to your nominated account. Shareholders can manage various aspects of shareholdings online, including updating bank details, by registering at shareview.co.uk. Alternatively, you can contact the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, by telephone on +44 (0) 371 384 2132.
We are putting an updated Directors' Remuneration Policy to a binding shareholder vote. We undertook an extensive shareholder consultation exercise to refine the proposed areas of change and, subject to approval by shareholders, it is intended that the revised Remuneration Policy will apply with effect from the AGM. Further information is included in the explanatory notes of the Notice of AGM.
The Directors believe that the adoption of all the resolutions set out in the Notice of AGM is in the best interests of IHG and its shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions, as each Director intends to in respect of his or her own beneficial holdings.
Finally, if there are any changes to the information set out in this letter, we will release stock exchange announcements as required and we will also provide updates as relevant on our corporate website at www.ihgplc.com.
I look forward to having the opportunity to meet as many of you as possible at the AGM.
Yours faithfully
Deanna Oppenheimer Chair
