Notes:
*   In relation to the total number of shares voted at the AGM only the ‘for’ and ‘against’ votes are counted and together
    add up to 100%. A ‘vote abstained’ is not considered to be a vote in law and will therefore not be counted in the
    calculation of the proportion of the votes ‘for’ and ‘against’ a resolution.
**  Excluding treasury shares held by a Steinhoff subsidiary in aggregate of 36,533,888 shares.
*** Only active abstentions are counted. Votes that were not cast at the meeting, are not included.

CHANGE IN SUPERVISORY BOARD

At the AGM, the proposed re-appointment of Mr. David Pauker as a Supervisory Director was rejected.
Mr. Pauker has served on the Supervisory Board for almost four years. We sincerely thank him for all his
valuable contributions.
