Positive

• Repurchases were executed via Merrill Lynch International on public exchanges, showing standard open-market execution

Negative

• None.

Insights

Capital Allocation Analyst

TL;DR: IHG executed a steady, small-volume buyback of 297,736 shares across nine trading days and plans to cancel them.

The filings show repeated open-market purchases by Merrill Lynch International from 19 Sept to 02 Oct 2025 under previously announced instructions. The activity reduced the reported ordinary shares in issue to 152,607,268 (excluding treasury) and the company states an intention to cancel the acquired shares, which mechanically lowers outstanding share count.

This is a routine share-capital management action rather than a large one-off repurchase: the cumulative quantity (297,736 shares) is explicitly stated in the announcements and spread over multiple days, indicating a measured execution consistent with available authority from the AGM.
