InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (IHG)

Change in trading currency of IHG's Ordinary Shares to US Dollars

On 23 October 2025, IHG announced as part of its 2025 Third Quarter Trading Update that it intends to change the currency in which its Ordinary Shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange from British Pounds (GBP) to US Dollars (USD). IHG confirms that a notification has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the currency change to USD to take effect from 8.00am (London time) on 2 January 2026.

The change does not impact the nominal currency of IHG's shares, which will remain in GBP. The change does not impact IHG's London listing in any other way, and has no impact on IHG's ADR listing in New York.

IHG also previously noted that, for the benefit of UK-based private individual registered shareholders in IHG, dividend payments will still be made in GBP. From January 2026, registered shareholders will be able to make an election to IHG's share registrar, Equiniti, if they wish to instead receive their dividend payments in USD. For shares held in CREST, an election for USD will be permitted using the CREST dividend election process. CREST participants should ensure a USD CREST Memorandum Account has been enabled.
