*Steinhoff - Litigation update*
Steinhoff International Holdings N.V. ("Steinhoff" or the "*Company*" and
with its subsidiaries, the "Group")
Steinhoff International Holdings N.V. notes the market speculation regarding
Steinhoff's continuing efforts to achieve a global settlement of the various
litigation claims brought against it in respect of legacy accounting issues
announced on 5 December 2017.
Steinhoff has previously announced that it believes a settlement on terms
acceptable to the Steinhoff Board to be in the best interests of the
Steinhoff Group and its stakeholders. This strategic priority was
reconfirmed in the Message from the Management Board that accompanied the
Annual Report for the year end 30 September 2019 published on 30 June 2020.
Accordingly, notwithstanding the challenging trading environment Steinhoff
continues to assess options, including total settlement value, consideration
and terms, for a global settlement of legacy litigation claims and Steinhoff
will update the market in due course. It is still uncertain whether any
settlement proposal will be announced or whether any settlement will be
supported by the Group's stakeholders.
