NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide shareholders (the "Shareholders") of Lippo Limited (the "Company") with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolutions mentioned herein which will be dealt with at the annual general meeting of the Company to be held at Harcourt Room, Lower Lobby, Conrad Hong Kong, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 8 June 2021 at 11:45 a.m. (or so soon thereafter as

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the annual general meeting of Lippo China Resources Limited convened for 11:00 a.m. on the same date shall been concluded or adjourned) (the "Annual General Meeting") and to convene the Annual General Meeting, notice of which is set out on pages 14 to 20 of this circular (the "AGM Notice").

At the Annual General Meeting, resolutions will be proposed to grant the directors of the Company (the "Directors") a general mandate to issue shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") and a general mandate to buy-back Shares, since the previous general mandates granted to the Directors at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 8 September 2020 will expire on conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. In accordance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the "Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"), all proposed buy-back of securities by the Company must be approved by the Shareholders in general meeting by way of ordinary resolution, either granting a general mandate or specific approval of a particular transaction. An explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution set out in the AGM Notice approving the grant of a mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy-back Shares is set out in the section headed "General Mandate to Buy-back Shares" below. Resolutions will also be proposed to re-elect the retiring Directors. This circular sets out such information in relation to the proposed mandates to issue and buy-back Shares, details of the re-election of retiring Directors and the AGM Notice.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution, as set out in the AGM Notice, will be proposed which, if passed, will give the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares representing up to 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting. In addition, conditional upon the proposed resolution to authorise the buy-back of Shares as is more particularly described under the section headed "General Mandate to Buy-back Shares" being passed, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to authorise the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares up to an amount equal to the total number of issued Shares purchased under the authority to buy-back subject to a maximum number equivalent to 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting. The general mandate to issue Shares will be valid for the period from the date of passing the ordinary resolutions as set out in paragraphs 5A and 5C of the AGM Notice (the "Ordinary Resolutions 5A and 5C"), until whichever is the earliest of

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required by any applicable law of Hong Kong or the articles of association of the Company (the "Articles of Association") to be held; and (iii) the authority set out in Ordinary Resolutions 5A and 5C being revoked or varied by way of ordinary resolution of the Company in general meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Such number of Shares referred to above shall, where applicable, be adjusted in the event that the Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolutions are, at any time thereafter, converted into a larger or smaller number of Shares.

GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES

Explanatory Statement

General information

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution, as set out in the AGM Notice, will be proposed which, if passed, will give the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to buy-back issued Shares subject to the criteria set out in this circular. In particular, Shareholders should note that the maximum number of Shares that may be bought-back pursuant to such mandate will be limited to such number of Shares representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting. For your information, on 23 April 2021, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this circular for ascertaining certain information referred to herein (the "Latest Practicable Date"), there were 493,154,032 Shares in issue. On the basis of this figure and assuming no further Shares are issued or bought-back prior to the Annual General Meeting, not more than 49,315,403 Shares may be bought-back on the Stock Exchange by the Company during the proposed purchase period pursuant to the general mandate proposed to be granted at the Annual General Meeting. The buy-back mandate will be valid for the period from the date of passing the ordinary resolution as set out in paragraph 5B of the AGM Notice (the "Ordinary Resolution 5B"), until whichever is the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required by any applicable law of Hong Kong or the Articles of Association to be held; and (iii) the authority set out in Ordinary Resolution 5B being revoked or varied by way of ordinary resolution of the Company in general meeting. Such number of Shares referred to above shall, where applicable, be adjusted in the event that the Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolution are, at any time thereafter, converted into a larger or smaller number of Shares.

While it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstance in which the Directors might think it appropriate to buy-back Shares, the Directors believe that the grant of a general mandate to buy-back Shares would provide more flexibility and be beneficial to the Company. The exercise of the buy-back mandate to buy-back Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements of the Company at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make such buy-backs in circumstances where the Directors consider to be in the interests and for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders. On the basis of the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 (being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been made up) and in particular

- 3 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the working capital or gearing position of the Company at that time and the number of Shares in issue at present, there may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed buy-backs were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the buy-back mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company unless the proposed buy-backs are on terms favourable to the Company.

The Company is empowered by the Articles of Association to buy-back its Shares. The Company proposes to make the buy-backs out of distributable profits or other funds which shall be legally permitted to be utilised for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Directors, their close associates and Core Connected Persons

None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) of any of the Directors have any present intention, in the event that the resolution as set out in the AGM Notice is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.

No Core Connected Persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor have they undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make buy-backs of Shares.

Listing Rules

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the proposed resolution set out in the AGM Notice and in accordance with the Listing Rules, all applicable laws of Hong Kong and the regulations set out in the Articles of Association.

Code on Takeovers and Mergers

If, on the exercise of the power to buy-back Shares in accordance with the resolution set out in the AGM Notice, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeovers Code"). As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby may in certain circumstances become obliged to make a mandatory offer for Shares in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, Lippo Capital Limited ("Lippo Capital") was beneficially interested in 369,800,219 Shares, representing approximately 74.98% of the total number of issued Shares. In the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to buy-back Shares in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting, the shareholding of Lippo Capital in the Company would be increased to approximately 83.32% and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a general offer for Shares under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors are not aware of any obligation which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any buy-back of its Shares by the Company.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the buy-back mandate to such extent as would cause the public float to fall below 25% or such other minimum percentage as prescribed by the Listing Rules from time to time.

Miscellaneous

During the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, no Shares were bought-back by the Company.

During each of the twelve months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the highest and lowest traded prices for Shares on the Stock Exchange were as set out in the Appendix.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 112 of the Articles of Association, Dr. Stephen Riady and Messrs. John Luen Wai Lee and Edwin Neo (the "Retiring Directors") will retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election. The board of directors of the Company (the "Board"), after the evaluation and recommendation by the nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") in accordance with the Directors' nomination policy of the Company, recommends the Shareholders to approve the re-election of the Retiring Directors at the Annual General Meeting.
