<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On March&nbsp;21, 2024, the board of directors of Lufax Holding Ltd (the &#147;<B>Company</B>&#148;) resolved to recommend the declaration and distribution of
the special dividend out of the share premium account under the reserves of the Company in the amount of US$1.21 per ordinary share or US$2.42 per ADS of the Company (the &#147;<B>Special Dividend</B>&#148;). The Special Dividend will be payable in
cash, with eligible holders of ordinary shares given an option to elect to receive the Special Dividend wholly in the form of new ordinary shares and eligible holders of ADSs given an option to elect to receive the Special Dividend wholly in the
form of new ADSs (except for Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Nominees Limited, the depositary bank for the ADS program and other intermediaries such as brokers that are aggregating the elections of more than one holder, which may elect to
receive their entitlement partly in cash and partly in the form of new ordinary shares or ADSs). Holders of ADSs who wish to elect to receive the Special Dividend in the form of new ADSs must act through the depositary. Eligible holder(s) of
ordinary shares or holder(s) of ADSs who do not return the election form will receive the Special Dividend in cash. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the approval of the
shareholders at the forthcoming annual general meeting to be held on Thursday, May 30, 2024 (the &#147;<B>AGM</B>&#148;) and compliance with the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, a circular containing details of the distribution of the Special
Dividend (including scrip dividend arrangements) together with the relevant election form will be despatched to the holders of ordinary shares as and when appropriate. The scrip dividend under the Special Dividend is subject to (i)&nbsp;the Hong
Kong Stock Exchange granting the listing of and permission to deal in the new ordinary shares to be issued pursuant thereto; and (ii)&nbsp;the authorization from the New York Stock Exchange with respect to listing of new ADSs to be issued pursuant
thereto. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the approval of the shareholders at the AGM and compliance with the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, the Company expects the
cheque for the Special Dividend and share certificates to be sent to the holders of ordinary shares no later than Thursday, August&nbsp;15, 2024 (Hong Kong time). The depositary bank for the ADS program, Citibank, N.A., expects to distribute the
Special Dividend in the form of cash or new ADSs to the holders of ADSs no later than Thursday, August&nbsp;22, 2024 (New York time). Dividend to be distributed to the holders of ADSs through the depositary will be subject to the terms of the
deposit agreement, including the applicable fees of the depositary. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Special Dividend is approved at the AGM, a shareholder could become obligated
to make a mandatory general offer pursuant to Rule&nbsp;26 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers if (i)&nbsp;the shareholder (together with parties acting in concert with it) increases its shareholding in the Company to 30% or more of the
enlarged issued share capital of the Company, or (ii)&nbsp;depending on its overall shareholding percentage in the Company, the shareholder (together with parties acting in concert with it) increases its shareholding in the Company by more than 2%
of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>&#147;Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those
clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates of an offeror or the offeree company and other persons under Rule 22 and that those clients are willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly with
investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant Rules. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7
day period is less than $1&nbsp;million. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and other persons themselves to
initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Intermediaries are expected to
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-operate</FONT> with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant
information as to those dealings, including identities of clients, as part of that <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">co-operation.&#148;</FONT> </I></P>

are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional adviser(s). </B></P>
