All resolutions proposed at the 2021 AGM will be decided on a poll.

Physical attendance is not necessary for the purpose of exercising rights of Holders of Share Stapled Units.

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude Holders of Share Stapled Units from attending and voting in person at the 2021 AGM or any adjournment thereof should they so wish.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARE STAPLED UNITS,

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

AND

NOTICE OF 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide Holders of Share Stapled Units with informationregarding the proposed general mandate to issue Share Stapled Units, the re-election of retiring Directors of the Trustee-Manager and the Company, and to seek your approval at the 2021 AGM in connection with, inter alia, such matters.

2.

PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARE STAPLED UNITS

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2021 AGM to grant a general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with additional Share Stapled Units (and securities or Convertible Instruments convertible into Share Stapled Units) not exceeding 20% of the Share Stapled Units in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant ordinary resolution. Any exercise of the general mandate would be subject to any applicable provisions of the Listing Rules, the Trust Deed and the Company's Articles. The mandate shall only remain in effect until the conclusion of the next AGM of the Holders of Share Stapled Units, or the expiration of the period within which such AGM is required to be held, or until revoked, renewed or varied by an ordinary resolution of Holders of Share Stapled Units, whichever occurs first. Although the general mandate proposed to be granted may not be utilized before the valid period as mentioned above, this gives the Trust and the Company the flexibility when needed without proposing second and subsequent refreshments of a general mandate in any one year. The Trust and the Company will use the mandate sparingly and in the interest of the Holders of Share Stapled Units as a whole.

The maximum number of Share Stapled Units which may be issued pursuant to the mandate granted at the last AGM held on 12 May 2020 was 429,097,566, among which an aggregate of 14,258,483 Share Stapled Units were issued in August 2020 and February 2021, representing 0.66% of the issued Share Stapled Units as at 12 May 2020.

Pursuant to Clause 5.4 of the Trust Deed, any other issue of, or any agreement (whether conditional or unconditional) to issue new Share Stapled Units and/or Convertible Instruments shall require specific prior approval by an ordinary resolution of Holders of Share Stapled Units, except that agreements to issue new Share Stapled Units which are conditional upon specific prior approval by an ordinary resolution of Holders of Share Stapled Units may be entered into without first obtaining such prior approval. For avoidance of doubt, Ordinary Resolution numbered 8 as set out in the Notice of 2021 AGM would, upon passing by the Holders of Share Stapled Units, constitutes a specific prior approval for this purpose.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Trust and the Company have issued 3,232,490,232 Share Stapled Units. On the assumption that there is no variation to the Share Stapled Units issued by the Trust and the Company during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing of the resolution approving the mandate to issue new Share Stapled Units as referred to above, the maximum number of Share Stapled Units which may be issued pursuant to the mandate would be 646,498,046.

3.

PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Under the Trust Deed, the directors of the Trustee-Manager must be the same individuals who serve as the directors of the Company at the relevant time; no person shall serve as a director of the Trustee-Manager unless he also serves as a director of the Company at the same time; and the office of a director of the Trustee-Manager shall be vacated if the relevant person ceases to be a director of the Company. Those provisions are also contained in the articles of association of the Trustee-Manager. Accordingly, the retirement by rotation provisions are also applicable, indirectly, in relation to the Trustee-Manager Board.

In accordance with the Trust Deed and the Company's Articles, Mr. Brett Stephen Butcher, Professor Chan Ka Keung, Ceajer, Professor Lin Syaru, Shirley and Mr. Lo Chun Lai, Andrew, shall retire from office of both the Trustee-Manager and the Company at the 2021 AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Biographical details of the retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the 2021 AGM are set out in the Appendix to this circular. The re-election of these retiring Directors will be individually voted on by the Holders of Share Stapled Units.

4.

2021 AGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

At the 2021 AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the general mandate to issue Share Stapled Units and the re-election of retiring Directors.

The Notice is set out on pages N1 to N7 of this circular. Holders of Share Stapled Units are advised to read the Notice and to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy for use at the 2021 AGM in accordance with the instructions printed thereon.

Each resolution proposed to approve a matter to be considered by the Holders of Share Stapled Units at the 2021 AGM shall serve as both a resolution of unitholders of the Trust and a resolution of shareholders of the Company.

The form of proxy provided to Holders of Share Stapled Units for use at the 2021 AGM, and the form of voting paper to be used at the 2021 AGM, are, in each case, a single composite form. The effect of completing a form of proxy or voting paper (as the case may be) indicating a vote either for or against a resolution of Holders of Share Stapled Units to be proposed at the 2021 AGM shall be the vote cast in respect of the relevant Share Stapled Units and shall constitute:

  • (a) a vote of the Units of the Trust (as component of the relevant Share Stapled Units) in respect of the resolution of unitholders of the Trust under the Trust Deed;

  • (b) a vote of the Preference Shares of the Company (as component of the relevant Share Stapled Units) in respect of the resolution of shareholders of the Company under the Company's Articles; and

  • (c) an instruction to the Trustee-Manager to vote the number of Ordinary Shares held by the Trustee-Manager (as component of the relevant Share Stapled Units) in the same way of the resolution of shareholders of the Company under the Company's Articles.

In respect of each individual Share Stapled Unit, the voting rights conferred by the Unit, the Preference Share and the interest in an Ordinary Share which are components of the relevant Share Stapled Unit can only be exercised in the same way (either for or against) in respect of a resolution of Holders of Share Stapled Units to be proposed at the 2021 AGM; and completion of a form of proxy or voting paper in respect of a Share Stapled Unit will have that effect, as described in the paragraph immediately above.

The Trustee-Manager will not exercise any voting rights in respect of a resolution proposed at the 2021 AGM conferred by those Ordinary Shares held by the Trustee-Manager which are components of Share Stapled Units in respect of which no voting rights are exercised by the Holders of those Share Stapled Units in respect of the relevant resolution at the 2021 AGM.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, Article 13.6 of the Company's Articles and paragraph 3.4 of Schedule 1 of the Trust Deed, the Chairman will put each of the proposed resolutions set out in the Notice to be voted by way of a poll. On a poll, votes may be given either personally, by corporate representative or by proxy. An announcement on the poll results will be published on the website of the Trust and the Company atwww.langhamhospitality.comand the website "HKEXnews" atwww.hkexnews.hkon the same day after the 2021 AGM.

Any holder of Share Stapled Units entitled to attend and vote at the 2021 AGM (or any adjournment thereof) of the Trust and the Company is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote in his/her stead. A proxy need not be a holder of Share Stapled Units of the Trust and the Company. For the health and safety of

    holders of Share Stapled Units, holders of Share Stapled Units are strongly encouraged to cast their votes by submitting a proxy form appointing the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy.

  • 2. Where there are joint registered holders of any Share Stapled Unit, any one of such persons may vote at the 2021 AGM, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such Share Stapled Unit as if he/she was solely entitled thereto; but if more than one of such joint holders is present at the 2021 AGM personally or by proxy, that one of the holders so present whose name stands first on the Share Stapled Units Register in respect of such Share Stapled Unit shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof. Several executors or administrators of a deceased holder of Share Stapled Units in whose name any Share Stapled Unit stands shall for this purpose be deemed joint holders thereof.

  • 3. In order to be valid, the form of proxy and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed (or a notarially certified copy of such power of attorney or authority) must be deposited at the Principal Place of Business in Hong Kong of the Company at Suite 3001, 30th Floor, Great Eagle Centre, 23 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the 2021 AGM (or any adjournment thereof).

    Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude holders of Share Stapled Units from attending and voting in person at the 2021 AGM should they so wish. In the event that the holders of Share Stapled Units attend the 2021 AGM or adjourned meeting (as the case may be) after having lodged a form of proxy, the form of proxy will be deemed to have been revoked.

  • 4. The Share Stapled Units Register, the register of holders of units, the principal and Hong Kong branch registers of members, and the register of beneficial interests as established and maintained by the Trustee-Manager and the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed will all be closed from Thursday, 6 May 2021 to Wednesday, 12 May 2021, both days inclusive for the purpose of ascertaining the entitlement of holders of Share Stapled Units to attend and vote at the 2021 AGM. During this period, no transfer of Share Stapled Units will be registered.

    In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the 2021 AGM, all properly completed transfer forms accompanied by the relevant Share Stapled Units certificates must be lodged with the Share Stapled Units Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 5 May 2021.

  • 5. Each Share Stapled Unit comprises:

    • (a) a unit in the Trust;

    • (b) a beneficial interest in a specifically identified ordinary share in the Company held by the Trustee-Manager, which is "linked" to the unit; and

  • 6. The 2021 AGM is convened as a combined meeting of unitholders of the Trust and shareholders of the Company. Each resolution proposed to approve a matter to be considered by the holders of Share Stapled Units at the 2021 AGM shall serve as both a resolution of unitholders of the Trust and a resolution of shareholders of the Company.

  • 7. The form of proxy provided to holders of Share Stapled Units for use at the 2021 AGM, and the form of voting paper to be used at the 2021 AGM, are, in each case, a single composite form. The effect of completing a form of proxy or voting paper (as the case may be) indicating a vote either for or against a resolution of holders of Share Stapled Units to be proposed at the 2021 AGM shall be the vote cast in respect of the relevant Share Stapled Units and shall constitute:

    • (i) a vote of the units of the Trust (as component of the relevant Share Stapled Units) in respect of the resolution of unitholders of the Trust under the Trust Deed;

    • (ii) a vote of the preference shares of the Company (as component of the relevant Share Stapled Units) in respect of the resolution of shareholders of the Company under the Company's amended and restated articles of association; and

    • (iii) an instruction to the Trustee-Manager to vote the number of ordinary shares of the Company held by the Trustee-Manager (as component of the relevant Share Stapled Units) in the same way of the resolution of shareholders of the Company under the Company's amended and restated articles of association.

  • 8. In respect of each individual Share Stapled Unit, the voting rights conferred by the unit, and the preference share and the interest in the ordinary share which are components of the relevant Share Stapled Unit can only be exercised in the same way (either for or against) in respect of a resolution of holders of Share Stapled Units to be proposed at the 2021 AGM; and completion of a form of proxy or voting paper in respect of a Share Stapled Unit will have that effect, as described in note 7 above.
