Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES, PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION,

PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to provide shareholders (the ‘‘Shareholders’’) of Lippo China Resources 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 Wednesday, 8th June, 2011 at 11: 15 a.m. (the ‘‘Annual General Meeting’’) and to convene the Annual General Meeting, notice of which is set out on pages 11 to 16 of this document (the ‘‘AGM Notice’’).

– 1 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

At the Annual General Meeting, resolutions are proposed to grant the directors of the Company (the ‘‘Directors’’) a general mandate to issue shares of HK$0.10 each in the capital of the Company (the ‘‘Shares’’) and a general mandate to repurchase Shares, since the previous general mandates granted to the Directors at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 8th June, 2010 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 repurchases 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 repurchase Shares is set out in the section headed ‘‘General Mandate to Repurchase Shares’’ below. It will also be proposed at the Annual General Meeting as a special resolution that the articles of association of the Company (the ‘‘Articles’’) be amended in light of the provisions of Rule 2.07A of the Listing Rules and Part IVAAA of the Companies Ordinance, Chapter 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong (the ‘‘Companies Ordinance’’) relating to the use of electronic means or website for communication with the Shareholders. This document sets out such information in relation to the proposed mandates to issue and repurchase Shares, the amendments to the Articles, details of the re-election of retiring Directors and a notice convening the Annual General Meeting.

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 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue 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 repurchase of Shares as is more particularly described under the section headed ‘‘General Mandate to Repurchase 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 aggregate nominal amount of the Shares purchased under the authority to repurchase subject to a maximum number equivalent to 10 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue 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 (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 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

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE 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 repurchase issued Shares subject to the criteria set out in this document. In particular, Shareholders should note that the maximum number of Shares that may be repurchased pursuant to such mandate will be limited to such number of Shares representing 10 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting. For your information, on 26th April, 2011, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this document for ascertaining certain information referred to herein (the ‘‘Latest Practicable Date’’), there were in issue an aggregate of 9,191,252,716 fully paid Shares. On the basis of this figure and assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, not more than 919,125,271 Shares may be repurchased 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 repurchase 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 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.

While it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstance in which the Directors might think it appropriate to repurchase Shares, the Directors believe that the grant of a general mandate to repurchase Shares would allow the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company. The exercise of the repurchase mandate to repurchase 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 repurchases 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 31st December, 2010 (being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been made up) and in particular 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 repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed purchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the repurchase 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 purchases are on terms favourable to the Company.

The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association (the ‘‘Memorandum’’) and Articles to repurchase its Shares. The Company proposes to make the repurchases out of retained profits or other funds which shall be legally permitted to be utilised for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles and the Companies Ordinance.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Directors, their associates and connected persons

None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any 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 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 purchases of Shares.

Listing Rules

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases 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 Memorandum and Articles.

Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase 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 Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the ‘‘Takeover Code’’) and, if such increase results in a change of control, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a general offer for shares under Rule 26 of the Takeover Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, Lippo Limited (‘‘Lippo’’) was beneficially interested in 6,544,696,389 Shares, representing approximately 71.2 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting, the shareholding of Lippo in the Company would be increased to approximately 79.1 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a general offer for shares under Rule 26 of the Takeover Code.

The Directors are not aware of any obligation which would arise under the Takeover Code as a consequence of any purchases by the Company of its Shares.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the repurchase mandate to such extent as would cause the public float to fall below 25 per cent. 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 purchased 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.
