LPKR US$112MM NEW ISSUE TO PUT US$798MM REIT UNDER LIPPO MALLS. US$2.0BN MALL ASSETS TO BE INJECTED INTO REIT OVER 3 YEARS.

Lippo Karawaci Tbk (LPKR) today announced plans to issue Rp957 billion or approximately US$112
million through a direct placement to Lippo Group (LIPPO) to fund the bulk of the acquisition of a
27.24% controlling stake of Singapore-listed Lippo-Mapletree Indonesia Retail Trust (LMIRT) and a
40% interest in its asset manager Lippo Mapletree Indonesia Retail Trust Management Ltd (LMIRT
Mgt) that will propel LPKR's mall and asset management to a US$4 billion business in 3-4 years.

These initiatives will put LMIRT and LMIRT Mgt fully aligned with LPKR's Lippo Malls Group allowing
LPKR to carry through its plan to inject and facilitate US$2 billion of mall assets into LMIRT over the
next three years. This will add to LMIRT's US$798 million mall assets it currently owns and build it up
to US$4 billion in mall assets under management in 5 years making LPKR's third pillar, its Lippo Malls
group a solid foundation along with its other foundations.
