COMPLETION OF THE REFINANCING OF SHAREHOLDER FUNDING STAR shareholders are referred to the announcement made on 15 December 2017 pertaining to the refinancing of Steinhoff shareholder funding amounting to c.ZAR16 billion at 30 September 2017 (“the Shareholder Funding”), as included in STAR’s 2017 audited annual financial statements. The refinancing of the Shareholder Funding was completed with the conclusion of agreements between STAR (and its designated wholly-owned subsidiaries) and various South African financial institutions. The repayment of the Shareholder Funding also facilitated the release of STAR and its subsidiaries from all third party guarantees related to the financing of the Shareholder Funding. The Company raised a total of ZAR18 billion stand-alone financing facilities (“New Facilities”) which was well received by the SA market with the overall demand exceeding the Company’s requirements. The refinancing was arranged and co-ordinated by FirstRand Bank Limited, acting through its Rand Merchant Bank division (“RMB”). The additional ZAR2 billion, over and above what was required to settle the Shareholder Funding, is being raised in line with STAR’s funding needs and growth in operations. The New Facilities comprise: Component Amount Interest rate Term Term Loan A ZAR2.5 billion JIBAR plus 200 bps 3 years Term Loan B ZAR2.0 billion JIBAR plus 215 bps 4 years Term Loan C ZAR2.5 billion JIBAR plus 225 bps 5 years Redeemable, Non- cumulative, Non- 74% of SA prime convertible Preference ZAR6.0 billion 4 years lending rate Shares (“Funding Preference Shares”) Revolving Credit Facility ZAR2.5 billion JIBAR plus 200 bps 3 years ("RCF") General Banking Facility 364 day ZAR2.5 billion Call Loan Rates ("GBF") notice The STAR board would like to express its appreciation to the various South African financial institutions for their support in this process and especially to RMB for the arrangement and co-ordination thereof. 2. APPROVAL OF PROPOSED RESOLUTION IN TERMS OF SECTION 44 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, NO 71 OF 2008 A condition to the issue of the Funding Preference Shares by a wholly-owned subsidiary of STAR (“the Issuer”) to South African financial institutions referred to above, included that STAR guarantees the Issuer’s contractual obligations that relate to the Funding Preference Shares. The Company confirms that STAR shareholders representing 88.98% of STAR’s issued share capital voted in favour of such guarantee as set out in the circular distributed to shareholders on 19 April 2018. Accordingly, the special resolution was approved. The issue of these Funding Preference Shares facilitated the redemption of funding preference shares issued by Steinhoff and the release of STAR and its subsidiaries from the related guarantee.
