additional 314 million Steinhoff shares through Upington Investment
Holdings B.V. In a transaction facilitated by the second largest
shareholder, the Public Investment Corporation, Lancaster 101 Prorpietary
Limited, a broad based black empowerment company, invested in 60 million
Steinhoff shares. Lastly, 110 million ordinary shares were made available
to institutional investors to participate in the capital increase during a

the new shares and settlement of the transaction is expected to occur on or

Mattress Frim Holding Corporation and Poundland Plc, based in the United
Kingdom.
