Stellenbosch – [15 November 2016] – Today, the management board of Steinhoff International
Holdings N.V. (the “Company” or “Steinhoff”), with the approval of the Company’s supervisory
board, resolved to declare an interim distribution of 12 Euro cents per Steinhoff ordinary share.
This amount is based on the adjusted diluted earnings per Steinhoff ordinary share of 29.5 Euro

7 September 2016.
The interim distribution will be paid in cash through the clearing systems to shareholders
registered as such after the close of trading on Friday, 2 December 2016 (the “Record Date”).
The last day to trade in Steinhoff shares in order to ensure that the purchaser is registered as a
shareholder on the Record Date will be as follows:
Wednesday, 30 November 2016 for shares traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (the “FSE”).
Shares held on the FSE will commence trading ex-entitlement with the commencement of
trade on Thursday, 1 December 2016; and
Tuesday 29 November 2016 for shares traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange operated
by the JSE Limited (the “JSE”). Shares held on the JSE will commence trading ex-entitlement
with the commencement of trade on Wednesday 30 November 2016.
The Euro amount will be distributed to shareholders holding their Steinhoff ordinary shares on
the FSE and for shareholders who hold their Steinhoff ordinary shares on the JSE will be
exchanged and paid in South African Rand. The exchange rate applicable will be announced
on 22 November 2016 (the “Finalisation Date”). The dividend payment date will be Tuesday,
