Changes to the Board, suspension of listing and update on preference dividends


Steinhoff Investment Holdings Limited (the “Company”)

Changes to the Board

In accordance with paragraph 3.59(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (“the
JSE”), shareholders are advised that Mr Theunie Lategan has resigned as director of the
Company with immediate effect, following his resignation yesterday as an independent
director of Steinhoff International Holdings N.V (“Steinhoff N.V.”). The Board of the Company
thanks Mr Lategan for his valuable contribution during his tenure as independent non-
executive director of the Company.

Suspension of listing

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Steinhoff N.V and is the issuer of variable rate,
cumulative, non-redeemable, non-participating preference shares (“Preference Shares”)
with a face value of R1.5 billion. The Preference Shares are primary listed on the JSE.
Accordingly, in terms of the JSE’s listings requirements the Company was required to publish
its consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2017 by 28
February 2018.

Preference shareholders of the Company are referred to the announcement released by
the JSE this morning in terms of which the JSE confirmed that it has suspended the trading
of the Preference Shares due to the Company’s failure to submit the requisite statements
by 28 February 2018.

Preference shareholders are also referred to the Quarterly Update (“Q1 Update”),
published by Steinhoff N.V., a copy of which is available on Steinhoff N.V.’s website
www.steinhoffinternational.com.

As communicated by Steinhoff N.V. in the Q1 Update, the investigations into the
accounting irregularities and related matters are ongoing. Until such time as further progress
is made, the Company will not be in a position to publish the required financial statements.
The Company will provide further updates on the process as and when it is in a position to
do so.


The JSE furthermore, reminded the market that Steinhoff N.V has a primary listing on the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) and a secondary listing on the JSE and reaffirmed that it
is not considering the suspension of Steinhoff N.V. and that the ordinary shares of Steinhoff
N.V. will continue to be listed and traded on the JSE.


Update on dividends on Preference Shares

The board of the Company must still consider the Preference Shares dividend declaration
for the period ending 31 December 2017. In this regard, a further update will be provided
once the board of the Company has considered same.
