InterContinental Hotels Group PLC ("the Company") announces that at the EGM held
today, Shareholders approved the Resolutions connected with the Company's
proposed Share Consolidation and the renewal of the Company's authority to

remains as previously announced.  The Special Dividend is expected to be paid on
22 June 2006 to Shareholders on the Register on 9 June 2006.



Application will be made in due course to the Financial Services Authority for
the admittance to the Official List of the New Ordinary Shares arising from the
Share Consolidation and to The London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares
to be admitted to trading on the main market.  It is expected that admission
will take place and trading of the New Ordinary Shares will commence on 12 June
