Notification Of Change In Auditor Steinhoff Africa Retail Limited (Previously K2017221869 (South Africa) Proprietary Limited) (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number: 2017/221869/06) Share Code: SRR ISIN: ZAE000247995 (“STAR” or the “Company”) NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE IN AUDITOR After careful consideration and by mutual agreement with STAR management and its Audit Committee, Deloitte South Africa (“Deloitte”) has decided to resign as the external auditor of STAR, effective 23 May 2018. Deloitte’s decision to resign came after engagement with STAR’s management and Audit Committee regarding restructuring the audit of STAR and its subsidiaries to reduce the existing duplication of effort among the different audit firms to continue to comply with professional standards. A significant component of the STAR group is audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. (“PWC”) and this scenario necessarily causes an inefficient duplication of effort in order for Deloitte to comply with professional auditing standards. Shareholders are therefore advised that, in terms of paragraph 3.78 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, PWC has been appointed as the Company's external auditor, effective 23 May 2018, thereby replacing Deloitte. Mr Anton Hugo will act as the designated audit partner for the current financial year ending 30 September 2018.
