Director's Interest in Shares

Sir Ian Prosser has today exercised his options over Six Continents PLC (Six Continents) shares, held under the Six Continents Executive Share Option Scheme 1985. As a result of the separation of Six Continents in April 2003 and the listing of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (IHG) ordinary shares, Six Continents shares are no longer traded on the London Stock Exchange. Consequently, they have been automatically exchanged for equivalent shares in IHG as follows:-

Sir Ian retains this holding of ordinary shares in IHG.

As a result of the separation of Six Continents, all options over Six Continents shares which were granted under the Six Continents Executive Share Option Scheme 1985 will lapse on 11 October 2003.
