As a result, we delivered 10% growth in operating profit before exceptional items and achieved a two percentage point increase in operating margin over last year.

Summary Directors’ Report and Corporate governance 49

Corporate governance

IntroductionThis year, 2013, is a year of transition for directors’ remuneration reports. We have prepared this report before new final Government regulations on executive remuneration disclosure are issued. However, we have reflected as much as is practical of the direction and spirit of the draft regulations in both the content and structure of the full 2012 Directors’ Remuneration Report from which this summary report is extracted.

We have historically tried to make the report transparent and easy to read and in recent years already included, for example, the single figure for Executive Directors’ remuneration and a remuneration policy summary table.

Executive Director remuneration at IHG has evolved during 2012:

• the measures under the Annual Bonus Plan (ABP) have been changed for Executive Directors in 2013. To distinguish it from the previous measures, we refer to it as the Annual Performance Plan (APP). Although not a radical change, the APP does align annual incentives more closely to the key elements of our strategic priorities of Brands, People and Delivery; and

• the 2010/12 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), which will vest in 2013, is the last LTIP using the previous measures. The 2011/13 LTIP, which vests in 2014, is the first LTIP including the new corporate performance measures of net rooms growth and RevPAR.

Remuneration for Executive Directors in 2012 reflects another year of strong corporate results, as shown in the table below:

2012 2011 2010

EBIT +9.8% +25.9% +22.3%Adjusted EPS* +21.7% +2.5% +9.6%TSR* +28.2% +29.8% +8.0%

* Annualised three-year changes.

Remuneration has reflected these results with an ABP award just above target for 2012 and a maximum vesting of the 2010/12 LTIP cycle.

We continually keep all aspects of remuneration under review and listen to the views of shareholders, the Government and other

stakeholders. We believe our current approach to remuneration is responsible and appropriate as it:

• is structured to drive execution of our business strategy;

• aligns reward with the creation of shareholder value;

• allows the Company to recruit and retain talent in a competitive global sector;

• incorporates measures and safeguards to ensure that high rewards only follow strong, balanced results; and

• incentivises the delivery of long-term, sustainable business growth and shareholder value, rather than the pursuit of unsustainable short-term results.

The targets for 2013 are stretching and will require a strong corporate performance to achieve similar levels of remuneration.
