STEINHOFF INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS N.V. – PUBLICATION OF UPDATED WHOA RESTRUCTURING
PLAN

Further to the announcement on 26 April 2023, Steinhoff International Holdings N.V. (“SIHNV”)
announces an update to its Dutch law restructuring plan (akkoord) (“WHOA Restructuring
Plan”). Unless defined otherwise, terms used in this announcement will have the meaning given
to them in the WHOA Restructuring Plan.

The updated WHOA Restructuring Plan will be published on www.steinhoffinternational.com.
The addition of an extra day in the timetable (as described below) and the further technical
amendments do not result in any material changes to the terms of the Transaction. The
amendments relate to the following:

   •   the date as of which affected stakeholders must hold shares or claims (as applicable)
       to be admitted to vote on the WHOA Restructuring Plan (the “Voting Record Date”)
       has been set at 10 May 2023 (23:59 CET) (instead of 9 May 2023 (23:59 CET) as originally
       proposed);

   •   the period of time during which the affected stakeholders may cast their vote (the
       “Voting Period”) has been amended to 11 May 2023 (00:01 CET) until 24 May 2023
       (23:59 CET) (instead of 10 May 2023 (00:01 CET) until 23 May 2023 (23:59 CET) as originally
       proposed);

   •   the ultimate date on which the report on the results of the voting will be distributed (the
       “Voting Report”) has been amended to 31 May 2023 (instead of 30 May 2023 as
       originally proposed); and

   •   the Implementation Steps have been amended and supplemented with respect to
       the funding of the subscription price of the Restructuring Plan Shares to allow for such
       funding to occur by way of a combination of third-party loans and a set-off of a portion
       of the CPU debt (instead of the relevant Implementation Steps only allowing for either
       the loans or the set-off as originally proposed).

The amendments set out above will result in consequential changes to the voting notices for
Restructuring Plan Stakeholders (Schedule 7), the Draft Consent Request (Schedule 10), the
Draft Dissolution EGM Notice (Schedule 12), the Implementation Deed and the
Implementation Steps Chart.

The updated WHOA Restructuring Plan (including schedules thereto) and other relevant
updated documents will be published on www.steinhoffinternational.com.
