Millennium & Copthorne Hotels plc (the "Company")

Change of Auditors

In accordance with section 520(2) of the Companies Act 2006, a letter has today been posted to shareholders of the Company for information only in relation to the statutory statement received from KPMG Audit Plc in connection with their resignation as the Company's auditor. The resignation follows the orderly wind-down of the business by KPMG Audit Plc, with its audit activities transferring to KPMG LLP. This change is purely administrative and has no practical impact on the audit process. KPMG LLP will be proposed for appointment as auditor to the Company at the Annual General Meeting on 1 May 2014.

The letter will shortly be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM, and also on the Company's website at www.millenniumhotels.com/corporate/investors.html
