INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS GROUP RENEGOTIATION OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH FELCOR LODGING TRUST; PURCHASE OF HOTELS BY HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST (LONDON) 25 January 2005-InterContinental Hotels Group PLC ("IHG") today announces a restructured management agreement with FelCor Lodging Trust Inc ("FCH"), covering all of the hotels (15,790 rooms) owned by FCH and managed by IHG. This new agreement extends the terms of IHG's contracts, rebases incentive fee payments and deploys capital investment in key hotels to drive value for FCH and IHG. Key highlights are: . 17 hotels (6,301 rooms) will be retained by FCH and managed by IHG, with revised contract terms (duration extended to 2025) and rebased incentive fees on all the hotels. Additionally, 11 of the 17 hotels will receive additional capital investment from FCH totalling some $50m. . Hospitality Properties Trust ("HPT") have purchased seven (2,072 rooms) of the hotels from FCH for $160m, retaining the IHG flag on these assets. There is no increase in IHG's corporate guarantees to HPT as a result of this deal. Separately, IHG have sold the Staybridge Suites, Las Colinas, USA, to HPT. IHG have also agreed to sell the Holiday Inn, Montego Bay, Jamaica to HPT subject to final due diligence.

31 January 2006 INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS GROUP PLACES EUROPEAN ASSETS ON THE MARKET InterContinental Hotels Group PLC ("IHG") announces that it has today placed a further portfolio of seven hotels on the market for disposal. These hotels are located in Continental Europe and all operate under the InterContinental brand. They comprise the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam, InterContinental Budapest, InterContinental Carlton Cannes, InterContinental De La Ville Rome, InterContinental Frankfurt, InterContinental Madrid and the InterContinental Vienna. These hotels are all being marketed with an IHG management contract. It is expected that, as with previous portfolio disposals, it will take up to nine months to complete the disposal process. Jones Lang LaSalle and Merrill Lynch are advising IHG on the transaction. IHG also intends to dispose of a portfolio of owned mid-scale European hotels, which are expected to remain under IHG's brands. The timing and structure of the sale process for this portfolio will be announced in due course. These two portfolios of hotels have a net book value of approximately GBP600m, and constitute the final tranche of hotels that IHG had previously announced it would sell. These two portfolios generated revenues of EUR 310m, EBIT of EUR 35m and EBITDA of EUR 67m in 2004. These disposals are a continuation of IHG's strategy of growing its management and franchise businesses and reducing asset ownership. This strategy has resulted in IHG having disposed of or, including these two portfolios, being in the process of disposing of, 176 hotels with a net asset value of more than GBP2.8bn. Aggregate proceeds received to date have been above net asset value. IHG has to date announced the return of GBP2.25bn to shareholders, of which GBP1.95bn has already been completed. As previously stated, further cash returns will be made to shareholders in due course. Further details of hotels placed on the market today:
