Equity Offering

Total applications received by IHG during the pre-placement stage amounted to 6,089,900 shares. Since the amount available during the pre-placement amounted to 3,250,000 (apart from the 1.1 million shares subscribed by each of Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs), applications during the pre-placement for up to 1 million shares were allocated in full whilst subscriptions in excess of 1 million shares were allotted at a rate of 24.35%.

Following the take-up of the 3,250,000 shares at the pre-placement and the subscription of 2.2 million shares in terms of the conditional placement agreements by Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, the balance of 2,933,300 shares were available for subscription during the General Public Offer. The Company announced that it received applications amounting to a total of 3,040,900 shares. In view of this slight over-subscription, the allocation policy adopted by the company is as follows: the first 200,000 shares will be met in full while for those applications in excess of 200,000 shares, 94.85% of the remaining balance will be satisfied.

Moreover the Company received a further 1,819 applications totalling €17.9 million for the remaining balance of €8.5 million on offer at the General Public Stage.
