(Є 612 million) The Steinhoff global settlement concludes separate legal actions initiated in South Africa and the Netherlands. As the administrator, we must support both actions, and the relevant parties, with work performed across 3 continents. To facilitate the efficiency and data security of the administration, we have driven all aspects of the settlement, from notice to claims filings to distribution, through electronic channels and utilizing our operational and client service centers in South Africa, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Notably, no paper claims have been sent or received, and distributions to eligible claimants will be in EURO, ZAR and/or company shares. With operations throughout Europe, Africa and North America, we are uniquely positioned to perform this service and our expertise in complex and international matters is unmatched.
