The Company understands that the existing base cost for UK tax purposes in Six Continents PLC shares held on 11 April 2003 may be apportioned on a pro rata basis to the following amounts received: The total amount of cash received in respect of the 81p per Six Continents share cash payment; The cash payment received in respect of the sale of any fractional entitlement arising from the MAB share consolidation; The value of MAB shares received (being the number of MAB shares received multiplied by £2.21875); and The value of IHG shares received (being the number of IHG shares received multiplied by £3.71375). The allocation to the MAB shares and IHG shares received is based on the share prices on the first day of dealing, being 15 April 2003. The relevant share prices for tax purposes are £3.71375 per IHG share and £2.21875 per MAB share. The existing base cost can therefore be allocated in the following percentages: Cash from 81p per Six Continents share A x 100% A+B+C+D Cash from fractions B x 100% A+B+C+D MAB shares C x 100% A+B+C+D IHG shares D x 100% A+B+C+D Historical information For the purpose of calculating UK capital gains tax on a disposal of ordinary shares in Six Continents PLC held since 31 March 1982, the price of the Company’s shares at that date was 230.5p per share. This price must be adjusted for subsequent events, in particular the 1-for-5 rights issue in 1991, the 1-for-1 capitalisation issue in 1992 and the capital reorganisation of 25 new ordinary shares for 28 existing ordinary shares and the issue of one B share for each existing ordinary share, in February 1998. For the purposes of computing capital gains tax in connection with the capital reorganisation in February 1998, the prices of the new ordinary shares and the B shares on the first day of dealing, 9 February 1998, were 930.75p and 92.5p, respectively.
