STEINHOFF - NOMINATION TO THE STEINHOFF SUPERVISORY BOARD

Steinhoff International Holdings N.V. ("Steinhoff")

Steinhoff announces today that its Supervisory Board has nominated Paul Copley for appointment to the Supervisory Board for a period from Steinhoff's next general meeting of shareholders until the close of the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2022. Upon approval by the general meeting, Paul Copley will serve as an independent supervisory director. Until his appointment, he will, however, be entitled to attend meetings of the Supervisory Board and its committees in an advisory capacity.

Paul is a former partner at PwC. He is a UK chartered accountant and licensed insolvency practitioner. From 2008 until mid-2014, he worked full-time on Lehman Brothers UK-based broker-dealer, Lehman Brothers International (Europe), becoming one of the court-appointed administrators in the process.

Paul left PwC in March 2016 to join Kaupthing as CEO and board member. Kaupthing is the restructured successor of the Icelandic Bank.

Heather Sonn, Chairperson of the Supervisory Board of Steinhoff, stated "Steinhoff welcomes the nomination of Paul Copley to the Supervisory Board. Paul has an impressive track record. We are delighted that he has agreed to join Steinhoff and we look forward to his contribution."

The nomination will be submitted to the General Meeting for appointment in due course.
