Notice of General Meeting

12th October 2010

LONRHO PLC

("Lonrho" or the "Company")

Notice of General Meeting of shareholders to approve

US$70 million convertible bonds

Lonrho Plc is pleased to give notice of a General Meeting following the successful completion of an offering (the "Offering") of US$70 million Guaranteed Convertible Bonds due 2015 by the Company's wholly-owned direct subsidiary, LAH Jersey Limited (the "Bonds"), subject to shareholder approval.

The General Meeting of the Company will be held at 11.00 a.m. on Friday 29th October 2010 for the purposes of considering the passing of the resolution to give the directors the power on the exercise of conversion rights attaching to the Bonds to settle those conversion rights by delivery of new ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company in exchange for LAH Jersey preference shares arising on the exercise of the conversion rights. A copy of the Shareholder Circular and Notice of Meeting is available on the Company's website: www.lonrho.com.

Operationally, the net proceeds of the US$70 million offering will be used to allow the Company and its subsidiaries to repay certain existing indebtedness, to fund general working capital and to accelerate growth in its operations.

David Lenigas, Lonrho's Executive Chairman, commented:

"The primary use of funds will focus on developing additional processing capabilities and working capital requirements to meet the growth projections for the Agricultural division. Lonrho is well established as a fruit, vegetable and fish processor and packer for the African, European and Middle Eastern retail supermarkets.

The USA currently sources a fraction of its fresh produce from Southern Africa and, following extensive trials, the level of interest from the USA supermarket sector to source produce from Southern Africa appears to be substantial. Lonrho is focused on developing this potentially key market and introducing more Southern African lines into the USA.

The Company is seeing strong demand for its Southern African wild caught, sustainable, fish product lines into this market and sees the general USA market for fish, fruit and vegetables as an exciting and expansive new opportunity for the Company."
