Steinhoff Group has sold through IBEX Retail Investments (Europe) Limited (the “Seller”), an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, an aggregate of 38 million ordinary shares in the capital of
Pepco Group N.V. (“Pepco Group”) at a price of PLN 38.95 per share (the “Placement”), raising
aggregate gross sale proceeds of approximately PLN 1,480.1 million (EUR 315.2 million). The
Placement was upsized from its launch size of approximately 34.5 million ordinary shares due to

representing approximately 72.3% of Pepco Group’s issued share capital.

The proceeds of the Placement are payable in cash on usual settlement terms, and closing of the

the proceeds from the Placement to reduce its outstanding debt. Pepco Group will not receive any
proceeds from the Placement.

The ordinary shares in Pepco Group retained by Steinhoff following the Placement will be subject to a
90-day lock-up period, subject to customary exemptions.

Joint Global Coordinators in connection with the Placement. Santander Bank Polska S.A. – Santander
Biuro Maklerskie (“Santander”) and Numis Europe Limited (“Numis”) are acting as Joint Bookrunners.
