By Order of the Board Yang Yuanqing Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Hong Kong, 24 October 2017

Notes:

  1. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the GM is entitled to appoint more than one proxy to represent respectively the number of shares held by such member, to attend, speak and vote instead of him/her. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

  2. Where there are joint holders of any share, any one of such persons may vote at the GM, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he/she were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders are present at the GM personally or by proxy, that one of the said persons whose name stands first in the register of members of the Company shall alone be entitled to vote in respect of it.

  3. To be valid, the revised proxy form as enclosed with this notice together with 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 (form or document sent by any electronic means will not be accepted) the Company’s share registrar, Tricor Abacus Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding GM or any adjourned meeting thereof. In calculating the aforesaid 48 hours period, no account will be taken of any part of a day that is public holiday. Delivery of the revised form of proxy shall not preclude a shareholder of the Company from attending and voting in person at the GM and in such event, the instrument appointing of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

  4. In order to establish the identity of the Company’s shareholders who are entitled to attend and vote at the GM to be held on Friday, 10 November 2017, all transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company’s share registrar, Tricor Abacus Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong for registration by no later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 8 November 2017.

  5. Pursuant to the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow resolutions which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by show of hands. The chairman of the GM will therefore put each of the resolutions to be proposed at the meeting to be voted by way of poll pursuant to the Company’s articles of association.

  6. If typhoon signal no. 8 or above remains hoisted or a black rainstorm warning signal is in force at 9:00 a.m. on the date of the GM, the meeting will be postponed or adjourned. Shareholders are requested to visit the Company’s website (www.lenovo.com/hk/publication) and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited’s website (www.hkex.com.hk) for details of alternative meeting arrangements.

  7. The GM will be held as scheduled when an amber or a red rainstorm warning signal is in force. Shareholders should make their own decision as to whether they would attend the meeting under the bad weather conditions bearing in mind their own situation and if they should choose to do so, they are advised to exercise care and caution.
