In a major restructuring completed in June 2023 under Dutch WHOA proceedings valued at €10.4 billion, substantially all assets, liabilities, and investments—including stakes in key subsidiaries—transferred to Steinhoff Topco B.V., now rebranded as Ibex Holdings, enabling orderly asset monetization for creditors; most recently in 2025, Ibex divested its entire 28% stake in Pepkor Holdings for approximately $1.5 billion to reduce debt.
