Notes:

* In relation to the total number of shares voted at the AGM only the ‘for’ and ‘against’ votes are counted and together add up to 100%. A ‘vote abstained’ is not considered to be a vote in law and will therefore not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes ‘for’ and ‘against’ a resolution.

** Excluding treasury shares held by a Steinhoff subsidiary in aggregate of 36,533,888 shares.

*** Only active abstentions are counted. Votes that were not cast at the meeting, are not included.

At the AGM, the proposed re-appointment of Mr. David Pauker as a Supervisory Director was rejected.

Mr. Pauker has served on the Supervisory Board for almost four years. We sincerely thank him for all his valuable contributions.

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