Independent governance strengthened at Steinhoff
Following the resignation of the former CEO, Markus Jooste, and subsequent events, the
Supervisory Board of the Company has taken a number of actions to date, including the
following:
- A board subcommittee, composed solely of independent non-executive directors and
headed by Johan van Zyl has been constituted to bolster the independent governance
of the group. The other members are Dr Steve Booysen and Ms Heather Sonn;
- The audit committee is working with our statutory auditors, Deloitte to facilitate the
release of our audited financial statements;
- PWC has been appointed as forensic investigators and they have commenced their
investigations; and
Trading in the underlying businesses across the globe continues uninterrupted particularly in
the pre-Christmas period.
Steinhoff is a global group with 130 000 employees in its underlying operations comprising
approximately 12 000 retail outlets in 30 countries with many successful underlying operations.
