Divergent Information On Ex-Entitlement Date Results In Temporary Suspension Of Trading On Frankfurt Stock Exchange STEINHOFF INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS N.V. (Incorporated in the Netherlands) (Registration number: 63570173) Share code: SNH ISIN: NL0011375019 STEINHOFF INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS N.V.: DIVERGENT INFORMATION ON EX- ENTITLEMENT DATE RESULTS IN THE TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF TRADING ON THE FRANKFURT STOCK EXCHANGE The Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”), today, contacted the Company at 11:30 CET to inform it that the Company's shares had been suspended from trading on the FSE until close of business today, due to the FSE’s systems having captured divergent information on the ex- entitlement date for shares traded on the FSE. The FSE's systems incorrectly reflected 30 November 2016 as the first ex-entitlement date, rather than 1 December 2016 as communicated by the Company on 15 November and 22 November 2016. As a result of the divergent information, trading was technically suspended on the FSE until 12h35 CET after the divergent information had been corrected in the FSE's system, at which point trade recommenced. Shareholders are advised that Steinhoff shares are today (30 November 2016) trading on the FSE cum-dividend and will only commence trading on the FSE ex-dividend on 1 December 2016. Shares trading on the JSE commenced trading ex-dividend today, 30 November 2016. The Company is working with the FSE in order to ensure that such discrepancy should not arise in future.
