Note Conversion Letter Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the Deposit Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2010 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Deposit Agreement”), by and among Huazhu Group Limited, formerly known as China Lodging Group, Limited (the “Company”), Citibank, N.A., as Depositary, and all Holders and Beneficial Owners of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) issued thereunder. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Deposit Agreement.

This Letter Agreement confirms our understanding and agreement as follows:

1. Deposit of Shares. The Company has, upon the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement, dated May 7, 2020, among the Company and the initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”) named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”), offered and sold 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of US $450,000,000 (the Offer”), in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the United States

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The terms of the Offer and the Notes are more fully described in the final Offering Memorandum, dated as of May 7, 2020, a copy of which has been circulated separately to the Depositary. Each Note will be convertible at the option of the holder thereof (such holder, a “Converting Noteholder”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Indenture (as hereinafter defined) and the Notes into ADSs and a cash payment for any fractional ADS entitlement to be distributed by the Company (the “Conversion”). In certain circumstances (as set forth below), Converting Noteholders are to receive Restricted ADSs upon their Conversion of Notes (the Restricted ADSs to be received upon Conversion of Notes, the “Conversion Restricted ADSs” and the Shares deposited by the Company in connection with the issuance of Conversion Restricted ADSs, the “Conversion Restricted Shares”). The Company and the Depositary hereby agree that the ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), underlying the ADSs or Conversion Restricted ADSs, as applicable, that may be delivered upon Conversion of the Notes may, along with a certified true copy of the Company’s register of members reflecting the Custodian (or its nominee) as the registered holder of the corresponding number of Shares or Conversion Restricted Shares, as applicable, be deposited with the Custodian under the Deposit Agreement, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

2. Depositary Procedures. The Company consents, under Section 2.3 of the Deposit Agreement, to the deposit in the ADS facility of the number of Shares or Conversion Restricted Shares, as applicable, set forth in each duly completed and signed Conversion Issuance Instruction substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Conversion Issuance Instruction”) provided by the Company to the Depositary from time to time and the issuance and delivery by the Depositary of the corresponding number of ADSs or Conversion Restricted ADSs, as applicable, upon the terms of the Deposit Agreement, as supplemented by this Letter Agreement.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company hereby instructs the Depositary and the Depositary agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Deposit Agreement as supplemented by this Letter Agreement, to (i) establish procedures to enable the deposit of the Shares or Conversion Restricted Shares, as applicable, with the Custodian by the Company as a valid deposit of such Shares or Conversion Restricted Shares under the Deposit Agreement in order to enable the issuance by the Depositary of ADSs or Conversion Restricted ADSs, as applicable, issued in the name of each Converting Noteholder under the terms and subject to the conditions of this Letter Agreement upon the deposit of Shares or Conversion Restricted Shares, as applicable, and (ii) promptly deliver an account statement (the “Account Statement”) to the Converting Noteholder upon the issuance of such ADSs or Conversion Restricted ADSs, as applicable, in the form of uncertificated ADSs or uncertificated Restricted ADSs (as defined in the Deposit Agreement), in each case upon the terms set forth herein.

3. Issuance and Delivery of ADSs or Conversion Restricted ADSs upon Conversion of Notes. The Company hereby instructs the Depositary to issue ADSs or Conversion Restricted ADSs, as applicable, against the deposit of Shares or Conversion Restricted Shares, as applicable, by or on behalf of the Company upon Conversion of the Notes, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and this Letter Agreement, including, without limitation, receipt by the Depositary from the Company of all applicable fees. The Depositary hereby agrees to deliver ADSs or Conversion Restricted ADSs, as applicable, representing such Shares or Conversion Restricted Shares, as applicable, in each case in accordance with the Deposit Agreement and this Letter Agreement upon receipt of (i) in respect of the Conversion Restricted ADSs/Shares only, the opinions referred to in Section 14 below, (ii) confirmation of deposit of the applicable Shares or Conversion Restricted Shares, as applicable, by the Company, and (iii) a Conversion Issuance Instruction for each Conversion, in the form attached as Exhibit A attached hereto. Under the terms of this Letter Agreement and the Indenture, the outstanding Notes will be convertible as follows:

Rule 144A Notes:

(a) on or prior to the date one year after the last original issue date of the Notes (or such later date as the Company may instruct the Depositary), into Conversion Restricted ADSs (CUSIP No.: 00000X000) by Converting Noteholders that are (x) not Affiliates of the Company and (y) “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act), or non-U.S. persons located outside the United States (as each such term is defined under Regulation S under the Securities Act) at the time of any such Conversion, and

(b) after the date one year after the last original issue date of the Notes (or such later date as the Company may instruct the Depositary), into freely transferable ADSs (CUSIP No. 00000X000) by Converting Noteholders that are not Affiliates of the Company.

Regulation S Notes:

(a) on or prior to the date one year after the last original issue date of the Notes (or such later date as the Company may instruct the Depositary), into Conversion Restricted ADSs (CUSIP No.: 00000X000) by Converting Noteholders that are (x) not Affiliates of the Company and (y) “qualified institutional buyers”, or non-U.S. persons located outside the United States at the time of any such Conversion, and.

(b) after the date one year after the last original issue date of the Notes (or such later date as the Company may instruct the Depositary), into freely transferrable ADSs (CUSIP No. 00000X000) by Converting Noteholders that are not Affiliates of the Company.

The Depositary shall cause the Conversion Restricted ADSs issued upon the deposit of the corresponding Conversion Restricted Shares to be separately identified on the books of the Depositary under CUSIP No.: 00000X000 and shall cause such Conversion Restricted Shares to be held, to the extent practicable, separate and distinct by the Custodian from the other Deposited Securities held by the Custodian in respect of the ADSs issued under the Deposit Agreement that are not Conversion Restricted ADSs. The Conversion Restricted ADSs will not be eligible for inclusion into DTC.

The Company hereby advises the Depositary, and the Depositary hereby agrees and acknowledges, that the Conversion Restricted ADSs issuable in accordance with the terms of this Letter Agreement shall be eligible to exercise all voting rights and receive dividend distributions, in each case in the manner and to the extent otherwise afforded to Restricted ADSs pursuant to the Deposit Agreement.

The Depositary is hereby authorized and directed to issue the Conversion Restricted ADSs as uncertificated Restricted ADSs registered on the books of the Depositary in the name of the Converting Noteholders or their designees for the benefit of such Converting Noteholders.

4. Stop Transfer Notation and Legend. Following the issuance thereof, the books of the Depositary shall identify the Conversion Restricted ADSs (CUSIP No.: 00000X000) as “restricted” and shall contain a “stop transfer” notation to that effect. The Account Statements to be sent by the Depositary to Converting Noteholders upon the issuance of Conversion Restricted ADSs shall contain a legend substantially in the following form:

“THE RESTRICTED AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES (“RESTRICTED ADSs”) AND THE UNDERLYING RESTRICTED SHARES (“RESTRICTED SHARES”) OF HUAZHU GROUP LIMITED, FORMERLY KNOWN AS CHINA LODGING GROUP, LIMITED (THE “COMPANY”) ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF A NOTE CONVERSION LETTER AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 12, 2020 (AS AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, THE “RESTRICTED ADS LETTER AGREEMENT”), AND THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MARCH 25, 2010 (AS SO AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED, THE “DEPOSIT AGREEMENT”).

10. Removal of Transfer Restrictions on Conversion Restricted ADSs. The Depositary shall remove all stop transfer notations from its records in respect of specified Conversion Restricted ADSs and shall treat such Conversion Restricted ADSs on the same terms as the ADSs outstanding under the terms of the Deposit Agreement that are not Restricted ADSs upon receipt of (x) written instructions from the Company to so remove all stop transfer notations from its records in respect of specified Conversion Restricted ADSs and to treat such Conversion Restricted ADSs on the same terms as the ADSs outstanding under the terms of the Deposit Agreement that are not Restricted ADSs, (y) an opinion of U.S. counsel to the Company stating, inter alia, that the removal of the restrictive notations with respect to Conversion Restricted ADSs and the Conversion Restricted Shares, and the treatment of such Conversion Restricted ADSs on the same terms as the ADSs outstanding under the terms of the Deposit Agreement that are not Restricted ADSs, do not violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and (z) payment by the Company of the ADS issuance and cancellation fees, taxes and expenses otherwise payable under the terms of the Deposit Agreement and this Letter Agreement. Upon receipt of such instructions, opinion of counsel, and payment of fees, taxes and expenses, the Depositary shall take all actions necessary to remove any distinctions previously existing between the applicable Conversion Restricted ADSs and the ADSs that are not Restricted ADSs, including, without limitation, by removing the stop transfer notations on its records in respect of the applicable ADSs previously identified as Conversion Restricted ADSs.
