Registration Overview

Welcome to the Steinhoff Shareholder Proceeding online registration portal.

If you bought shares in Steinhoff International Holdings N.V. (Steinhoff) or its predecessor Steinhoff International Holdings Limited (SIHL) between 26 June 2013 and 6 December 2017 (inclusive), you can use this portal to join the group proceeding against the company.

If your financial institution has offered to assist you in joining this claim, you do not need to use this portal. Please instead follow the instructions given to you by your financial institution.

The Dutch law firm BarentsKrans will bring a claim against Steinhoff on behalf of shareholders who suffered losses related to Steinhoff’s public announcements dated 5 December 2017 and 6 December 2017. The proceeding will be funded by Claims Funding Europe and brought by a special purpose vehicle which has been established for the Steinhoff Shareholder Proceeding.
