Can shareholders protect themselves from the risk of fraud?
Many companies have become aware that their shareholders have received unsolicited phone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters. These are typically from overseas based ‘brokers’, who target UK shareholders, offering to sell them what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares in US or UK investments. These operations are commonly known as ‘boiler rooms’.
Shareholders are cautioned to be very wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a discount, sell your shares at a premium or offers of free company reports. For more information, please see our Boiler room scams page, or download the following PDF document:

IHG announced on 23 October 2025, that it intends to change the currency in which its Ordinary Shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange from British Pounds (GBP) to US Dollars (USD). Why is IHG changing its share price currency?
The change of IHG’s share price currency from GBP to USD is being made to reduce the translational impact of exchange rate fluctuations on IHG’s share price. Given IHG reports in USD dollars, making this change better aligns IHG’s share price to its financial performance and simplifies the investment appraisal of IHG.
This change has been recently enabled following updates to the FTSE UK Index Series Ground Rules administered by the FTSE Russell Group. The change does not impact the nominal currency of IHG’s shares, which will remain in GBP.
What does the change in share price currency mean for shareholders?
For UK-based private individual registered shareholders in IHG, dividend payments will still be made in GBP.
Registered shareholders will be able to make an election to IHG’s share registrar, Equiniti, if they wish to instead receive their dividend payments in USD. Furthermore, for UK-based private individual registered shareholders who do not have a USD bank account or access to a multi-currency share dealing service, Equiniti will convert the proceeds from any future sale of shares to GBP at the prevailing rate on the settlement date.
The change does not impact IHG’s London listing in any other way, and has no impact on IHG’s ADR listing in New York.
When is the change in share price currency happening?
IHG is working with Equiniti and other partners with the intention of enabling the change from the start of January 2026. A further announcement to confirm the change will also be made in due course.
