INTERNATIONAL EQUITY OFFERING IN STEINHOFF INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED       
("STEINHOFF" OR THE "COMPANY")                                                  
Further to the announcement of 3 October 2003, Steinhoff is pleased to announce 
that it has decided to proceed with an international offering of new ordinary   
shares (the "International Offering").  Steinhoff received an excellent         
reception from international investors which resulted in strong demand for its  
shares.  Consequently, the Company will issue 126,341,627 new ordinary shares to
international investors at a price of EUR0.84365 per share (the "Offer Price"). 
The Offer Price is based on a price of ZAR6.68 per share, representing a        
discount of only 1.76% to the closing price on the JSE Securities Exchange South
Africa ("JSE") 2003 on 3 November 2003 and a discount of 2.66% to the weighted  
average traded price of Steinhoff shares during the 30 business days preceding  
the date that the issue price was determined and a ZAR/EUR exchange rate of     
ZAR7.918 per Euro.                                                              
In addition, the Company has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option, 
exercisable for up to 30 days after 11 November 2003, of 18,951,244 new ordinary
shares at the Offer Price.  Should the over-allotment option be exercised in    
full, the International Offering will result in an increase in Steinhoff"s      
issued share capital of 15%.                                                    
Steinhoff intends to announce further details of the International Offering     
after the transaction has closed.
