Change in trading currency to US Dollars
InterContinental Hotels Group PLC has confirmed that its Ordinary Shares will change their trading currency on the London Stock Exchange from British Pounds to US Dollars, effective January 2, 2026, a move previously announced as part of its 2025 Third Quarter Trading Update. This change does not affect the nominal currency of the shares, which remain in GBP, nor does it impact IHG's London listing or its New York ADR listing. Registered shareholders based in the UK will continue to receive dividend payments in GBP, with an option to elect for USD payments through IHG's share registrar, Equiniti, or via the CREST dividend election process for CREST participants.
