4     SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSAL

The Proposal contemplates a compromise between the Company and Scheme Creditors, defined in
the Proposal, and who are envisaged to be settled in accordance with the terms of the Proposal.

4.1        The Proposal shall become effective if (i) it is adopted by the statutory required majorities
           of the Scheme Creditors; (ii) it is thereafter approved and sanctioned on a final and
           non-appealable basis by the High Court and (iii) all of the Suspensive Conditions are
           satisfied. Following the Proposal becoming effective, compromises will become effective
           and distributions will be made to the Scheme Creditors who are entitled thereto.

4.2        Scheme Creditors comprise what are defined in Annexure A to the Proposal as –

4.2.1         the Contractual Claimants;

4.2.2         the Financial Creditors; and

4.2.3         the SIHPL Market Purchase Claimants,

        who are envisaged to be settled in accordance with the terms of the Proposal.

4.3     The Proposal shall become effective if (i) it is adopted by the statutory required majorities
        of the Scheme Creditors of the Company that participate in the filing and voting procedures;
        (ii) it is thereafter approved and sanctioned on a final and non-appealable basis by the High
        Court of South Africa as contemplated in section 155(7) of the Companies Act; and (iii) all
        of the Suspensive Conditions (as defined in Annexure A to the Proposal) applicable to the
        Proposal are satisfied. Following the Proposal becoming effective, compromises will
        become effective and distributions will be made to the Scheme Creditors who are entitled
        thereto in accordance with the provisions of the Proposal. If the Proposal does not become
        effective, it shall be of no legal force or effect, shall not constitute a compromise of any
        claims of Scheme Creditors, and shall not constitute an offer of any kind on the part of the
        Company capable of acceptance by Scheme Creditors.

4.4     If you are a Scheme Creditor of SIHPL, you are invited, in accordance with the terms of the
        Proposal, to file a claim and participate in the voting procedures set out therein, as you may
        be eligible to receive a payment based on the Proposal.

4.5     The Proposal shall be put to a vote at a virtual meeting or meetings, convened for such
        purpose.

4.6     The Proposal does not constitute, on any basis whatsoever, an admission of any liability on
        the part of SIHPL towards any party that has instituted legal proceedings against SIHPL, or
        intends to institute such legal proceedings or has threatened to institute such legal
        proceedings or who may assert a claim of whatsoever nature and howsoever arising, in
        legal proceedings.

4.7     The Scheme Creditors are encouraged to contact their respective advisers regarding the
        filing and voting procedures set out in the Proposal and, in addition, to consult
        www.SteinhoffSettlement.com for further information.

4.8     As a number of the matters set out in the Proposal are complex and technical in nature, all
        interested persons are encouraged to consult with an independent legal advisor,
        accountant, financial advisor or any other professional advisor who may be of assistance to
        interested persons in respect to the contents of the Proposal.
