REGULATION (EU 596/2014, MAR)

STEINHOFF INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS N.V. – CVRs FOR SHAREHOLDERS UNDER THE WHOA
RESTRUCTURING PLAN

Steinhoff International Holdings N.V. is referred to as “SIHNV” or the “Company” and with its
subsidiaries, “Steinhoff” or the “Group”. Further to its announcement of 28 March 2023,
SIHNV hereby announces the following update on its Dutch law restructuring plan (akkoord)
(“WHOA Restructuring Plan”).

After the publication of the draft version of the WHOA Restructuring Plan on 29 March 2023,
a consultation period commenced during which affected stakeholders were able to submit
their views on the draft WHOA Restructuring Plan to the Company. This consultation period
closed on 17 April 2023 at 18:00 CET. The Company engaged with stakeholders during the
consultation period and has considered views that were submitted to the Company in
respect of the WHOA Restructuring Plan.

The Company also shared the views submitted to it during the consultation period, and the
Company’s responses thereto, with the court-appointed observers, Mr W. Meijer and Mr F.
Verhoeven.

Certain views submitted to the Company by some shareholders would require material
changes to the draft WHOA Restructuring Plan that the Company could only introduce with
the consent from its financial creditors. Accordingly, the Company engaged with several
of the largest financial creditors regarding certain matters raised by shareholders in respect
of the draft WHOA Restructuring Plan during the consultation period.

Following this engagement, these financial creditors indicated that a material variation of
the WHOA Restructuring Plan would not be acceptable to them. However, they have
indicated that (whilst reserving their rights generally) they would be supportive of the WHOA
Restructuring Plan if the Company were to include contractual contingent value rights
(“CVRs”) to be allocated to SIHNV’s shareholders as part of, and upon confirmation of, the
WHOA Restructuring Plan.

A condition to this support is that the CVRs to be allocated under the WHOA Restructuring
Plan to SIHNV’s creditors (“Creditor CVRs”) and shareholders (“Shareholder CVRs”)
constitute the same instrument and are subject to the same terms and conditions, save that
the Creditor CVRs will entitle their holders to 80% of the aggregate economic interest in the
post-closing equity of New Topco and, indirectly, its interest in the restructured Group, whilst
the Shareholder CVRs will in aggregate entitle their holders to 20% of such interest.

After due and careful consideration of the circumstances and the interests of the
Company, the Group and its stakeholders (including the shareholders), the Company has
now decided to include CVRs for the benefit of its shareholders as part of the WHOA
Restructuring Plan.

Further details on the Shareholder CVRs will be made available in the updated WHOA
Restructuring Plan that will be published in due course on www.steinhoffinternational.com.

The Company has a primary listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and a secondary listing
on the JSE Limited.
