On June 11, 2015, BTG Hotels, Poly Victory,
Ctrip, Mr. Shen, Mr. Liang and Mr. Sun (collectively, the "Buyer Group") jointly submitted a non-binding proposal
(the "Proposal") to the Company's Board of Directors related to the proposed acquisition of all of the Ordinary
Shares not beneficially owned by the Buyer Group for cash consideration equal to US$32.81 per ADS, or US$16.405 per Ordinary Share
(the "Proposed Transaction").
The Proposed Transaction is subject to a
number of conditions, including, among other things, the negotiation and execution of a definitive merger agreement and other related
agreements mutually acceptable in form and substance to the Company and the Buyer Group. Neither the Company nor any member of
the Buyer Group is obligated to complete the Proposed Transaction, and a binding commitment with respect to the Proposed Transaction
will result only from the execution of definitive documents, and then will be on the terms provided in such documentation.
Pursuant to the Proposal, upon obtaining
requisite PRC governmental approvals, BTG Hotels may enter into an agreement with other members of the Buyer Group to acquire part
or all of the Ordinary Shares held by them in exchange for equity interests in BTG Hotels, cash and/or other forms of consideration
(the "Consortium Transaction"). The price per Ordinary Share used in the Consortium Transaction will be the same
or lower than the price per Ordinary Share set forth in the Proposal, and the closing of the Consortium Transaction will be subject
to receipt of all PRC governmental approvals required for the consummation of the Consortium Transaction.
If the Proposed Transaction is completed,
the Company's ADSs would become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Act and
would be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market.
References to the Proposal in this Schedule 13D
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D, and incorporated
herein by reference in its entirety.
Except as indicated above, the Reporting
Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in paragraphs (a) through (j)
of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a)–(b) The
responses of each Reporting Person to Rows (11) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by
reference in this Item 5. The percentage of the class of securities identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by each Reporting
Person is based on 96,052,580 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2015, as disclosed in the Company's current report on
Form 6-K furnished to the Commission on May 13, 2015.
By virtue of their actions in respect of
the Proposed Transaction as described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the
meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act. As a member of a group, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own
the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the members of the group as a whole; thus, each Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially

upon the exercise of options that are exercisable within 60 days after June 11, 2015), which represents approximately 35.1% of
the total outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, and together with an aggregate of 268,500
Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of options held by Reporting Persons that are exercisable within 60 days after June
11, 2015). Except as otherwise stated herein, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims any beneficial ownership of the Ordinary
Shares held by each other Reporting Person.
Mr. Yi Liu, Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors and General Manager of BTG, Director of Poly Victory and Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, beneficially
owned 27,972 Ordinary Shares as of June 11, 2015, including 11,472 Ordinary Shares held by Mr. Liu and 16,500 Ordinary Shares issuable
upon the exercise of the options held by Mr. Liu that are exercisable within 60 days after June 11, 2015.
Mr. Min Bao, Deputy General Manager of BTG,
Director of Poly Victory and Director of the Company, beneficially owned 25,656 Ordinary Shares as of June 11, 2015, including
3,656 Ordinary Shares held by Mr. Bao, 5,500 Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs held by Mr. Bao and 16,500 Ordinary Shares issuable
upon the exercise of the options held by Mr. Bao that are exercisable within 60 days after June 11, 2015.
Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D,
none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedule A hereto, beneficially
owns any Ordinary Shares or has the right to acquire any Ordinary Shares.
Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D,
none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedule A hereto, presently
has the power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of any of the
Ordinary Shares which it may be deemed to beneficially own.
(c) None
of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedule A hereto, has effected
any transaction in the Ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.
(d) Except
as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or
the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by
any of the Reporting Persons.
(e) Not
applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
with respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The descriptions of the principal terms
of the Proposal under Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons,
except as provided herein, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among
the Reporting Persons and between any of the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company,
joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of profits or loss, or the giving
or withholding of proxies, or a pledge or contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting power over the
securities of the Company.

The Board of Directors
Homeinns Hotel Group
No. 124 Caobao Road
Xuhui District
Shanghai 200235
People's Republic of China
Dear Sirs:
BTG Hotels (Group) Co., Ltd. ("BTG Hotels"), Poly
Victory Investments Limited ("Poly Victory"), Ctrip.com International, Ltd. ("Ctrip"), Mr. Neil Nanpeng Shen
("Mr. Shen"), Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Homeinns Hotel Group (the
"Company"), Mr. James Jianzhang Liang, Co-Founder and Director of the Company and the Chairman of the board of directors
and Chief Exertive Officer of Ctrip ("Mr. Liang"), and David Jian Sun, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company
("Mr. Sun", together with BTG Hotels, Poly Victory, Ctrip, Mr. Shen and Mr. Liang, the "Buyer Group"), are
pleased to submit this preliminary non-binding proposal to acquire all outstanding ordinary shares (the "Shares") of
the Company not owned by the Buyer Group in a going-private transaction (the "Acquisition"). Our proposed purchase price
is US$32.81 per American Depositary Share of the Company ("ADS", each representing two Shares) in cash. The Buyer Group
currently beneficially owns approximately 35% of all the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company.
We believe that our proposed price provides an attractive opportunity
to the Company's shareholders. This price represents a premium of 20% above the average closing price of the Company's ADSs over
the last 20 trading days.
The terms and conditions upon which we are prepared to pursue
the Acquisition are set forth below. We are confident in our ability to consummate an Acquisition as outlined in this letter.
| 1. | Buyer Group. Members of the Buyer Group intend to enter into a consortium agreement, pursuant to which members of the
Buyer Group will agree to, among other things, cooperate in connection with implementing the Acquisition, and work with each other
on an exclusive basis in pursuing the Acquisition. |
Upon obtaining requisite PRC governmental approvals,
BTG Hotels may enter into an agreement with other members of the Buyer Group to acquire part or all of the Shares held by them
in exchange for equity interests in BTG Hotels, cash and/or other forms of consideration (the "Consortium Transaction"),
provided, however, that the price per Share used in the Consortium Transaction will be the same or lower than the Offer Price (as
defined below), and the closing of the Consortium Transaction will be subject to receipt of all PRC governmental approvals required
for the consummation of the Consortium Transaction.
| 2. | Purchase Price. Our proposed consideration payable for the Shares acquired in the Acquisition is US$32.81 per ADS, or
US$16.405 per Share (the "Offer Price"), in cash. |
| 3. | Financing. We intend to finance the Acquisition with a combination of debt and/or equity capital. Equity financing will
be provided by the Buyer Group in the form of cash and rollover equity in the Company. Debt financing is expected to be provided
by loans from third party financial institutions. We are confident that we can timely secure adequate financing to consummate the
Acquisition. |
| 4. | Due Diligence. Parties providing financing will require a timely opportunity to conduct customary due diligence on the
Company. We would like to ask the Board of the Company to accommodate such due diligence request and approve the provision of confidential
information relating to the Company and its business to possible sources of equity and debt financing subject to a customary form
of confidentiality agreement. |
| 5. | Definitive Agreements. We are prepared to negotiate and finalize definitive agreements (the "Definitive Agreements")
expeditiously. This proposal is subject to execution of the Definitive Agreements. These documents will include provisions typical
for transactions of this type. |
| 6. | Confidentiality. The Buyer Group will, as required by law, promptly file a Schedule 13D to disclose this proposal. We
are sure you will agree with us that it is in all of our interests to ensure that our discussions relating to the Acquisition proceed
in a confidential manner, unless otherwise required by law, until we have executed the Definitive Agreements or terminated our
discussions. |
| 7. | Process. We believe that the Acquisition will provide value to the Company's shareholders. We recognize of course that
the Board will evaluate the proposed Acquisition independently before it can make its determination whether to endorse it. In considering
the proposed Acquisition, you should be aware that we are interested only in acquiring the outstanding Shares that the Buyer Group
does not already own, and that the Buyer Group does not intend to sell their stake in the Company to a third party. |
| 8. | No Binding Commitment. This letter constitutes only a preliminary indication of our interest, and does not constitute
any binding offer, agreement or commitment with respect to an Acquisition. Such a commitment will result only from the execution
of Definitive Agreements, and then will be on the terms provided in such documentation. |
* * * * *
In closing, each of us would like to express our commitment
to working together to bring this Acquisition to a successful and timely conclusion. Should you have any questions regarding this
proposal, please do not hesitate to contact any of us. We look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
BTG Hotels (Group) Co., Ltd. |
