SAP - Sappi Limited - Cancellation of Credit Sale and Combined Option/Deferred Sale Transactions Sappi Limited Reg No 1936/008963/06 JSE Code SAP ISIN code ZAE000006284 NYSE code SPP LSE code SAZ CANCELLATION OF CREDIT SALE AND COMBINED OPTION/DEFERRED SALE TRANSACTIONS In terms of paragraph 3.63 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, we hereby provide the following information regarding the cancellation by Sappi of credit sale and combined option/deferred sales allocations under the Sappi Limited Share Incentive Scheme to the undermentioned directors of the Company and its major subsidiary companies: Date of transaction : 18 March 2010 Nature of transaction : Cancellation of credit sale and combined option/deferred sale allocations under the Sappi Limited Share Incentive Scheme Date of allocation : 28 March 2002 (*see below) Allocation price : R147,20 and R20,27 (*see below) Vesting period: Over 5 years, maximum 8 years, expiring 28 March 2010 The allocations concerned consisted of an
initial allocation and then an allocation arising from entitlement in terms of the Sappi rights offer in December 2008, both of which allocations were required to be taken
up/paid for in conjunction with each other. The average price of the allocations is well above the current market price and the Board has decided that it would not be in the best
interests of the Company to enforce payment by the participants concerned. The purpose of the Share Scheme is to offer participants an incentive and to force participants to
pay for these allocations would impose a hardship on participants and serve as a disincentive. The allocations have therefore been cancelled in terms of the rules of the
Scheme. Class of security : Ordinary shares Extent of interest : Direct beneficial The necessary authority in terms of 3.66 was obtained. DIRECTOR`S COMPANY ALLOCATION NUMBER ALLOCA- VALUE NAME DATE OF TION SHARES PRICE
