        Withdrawal of cautionary announcement - JSE regulatory requirement

In compliance with the JSE Limited ("JSE") Listings Requirement 3.9 and with reference to various
cautionary announcements, with the most recent thereof dated 9 July 2012 released on the Stock
Exchange News Service of the JSE and on the Regulatory News Service of the London Stock
Exchange, SacOil shareholders ("shareholders") are advised that the Company continues to look at
specific potential transactions in the ordinary course of business.

However, in light of uncertainty regarding the date on which an acquisition could be completed the
Board and management of SacOil feel it prudent to withdraw from discussions until the negotiating
parties are in a position where decisions can be made decisively and rapidly.

Accordingly, shareholders are advised that caution is no longer required to be exercised when
dealing in the Company's securities.
