/ Key word(s): AGM/EGM
NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Shareholders are referred to the notice of Annual General Meeting of Steinhoff International Holdings N.V. (the “Company“), with corporate seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to be held on Friday, 30 April 2021, at 13:00 CET at Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, Piet Heinkade 1, 1019 BR Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and which will be accessible via webcast on the Company’s website (www.steinhoffinternational.com) (the “AGM“), as posted on the Company’s website today (the “Notice“). The Company accommodates its shareholders (the “Shareholders“) in attending the AGM virtually through electronic means, without the need to physically attend the AGM. Participating virtually in the AGM is subject to the Company’s hybrid meeting policy which is published on the Company’s website (www.steinhoffinternational.com) simultaneously with the Notice (the “Hybrid Meeting Policy“). The health and safety of the Company’s employees, Shareholders and other stakeholders is a key priority for the Company. To limit health and safety risks in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the management board of the Company (the “Management Board“) recommends that the Shareholders participate in the AGM by proxy or virtually only, without physically attending the AGM, subject to the Hybrid Meeting Policy. The Management Board may take further precautionary measures to safeguard the health and safety of its employees and the participants of the AGM. These measures include, subject to an extension of the emergency legislation allowing fully virtual shareholders’ meetings, converting the AGM into a fully virtual AGM. Shareholders and other persons with meeting rights will in such case not be able to physically attend the AGM and can only cast their votes if voting rights accrue by way of electronic means during the virtual AGM or by granting a proxy. Developments in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic will be closely monitored and the Company will publish updates, and health and safety guidelines for attending the AGM on its website (www.steinhoffinternational.com) when appropriate. Shareholders should therefore check the Company’s website (www.steinhoffinternational.com) on a regular basis for any updates. The Management Board recommends that the Shareholders participate in the AGM by proxy or virtually only, and if a fully virtual AGM is deemed appropriate by the Management Board, its decision thereto and the relevant information and procedures will be published in the same manner as the Notice prior to the AGM in a timely fashion. Shareholders and other persons with meeting rights are invited to submit any questions relating to any of the agenda items prior to the AGM in the English language by e-mail to compsec@steinhoffinternational.com by Tuesday, 27 April 2021, at 13:00 CET at the latest. These questions will be answered during the AGM and shall be published on the Company’s website (www.steinhoffinternational.com) after the AGM. Further questions can be asked during the AGM in the physical meeting (if physical attendance is possible) and by submitting such questions in the English language through the digital voting platform. In the event of a fully virtual AGM, the chairperson of the AGM may determine that, in the interest of the order of business of the meeting, it can reasonably not be required to answer one or more specific further questions in the light of the circumstances at the time of the AGM.
