Steinhoff International Holdings N.V. (SNH.JO) said on Friday that it has sold 20.6 million shares in PSG Group Ltd. (PSG.JO) for approximately 4.7 billion South African rand ($348.6 million).

The shares were sold at a price of ZAR230 a share, Steinhoff said, and the proceeds will be used to support operational activities.

Steinhoff said on Dec. 6 that Chief Executive Markus Jooste had resigned amid an investigation into accounting irregularities, prompting shares to plunge more than 50%.
