JOINT DECLARATION AND FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE FREE SHARE
ALLOCATION RELATING TO THE SASOL KHANYISA TRANSACTION


1.      The shareholders of Sasol at the meeting held on Friday, 17 November 2017 approved a transaction
        known as the Sasol Khanyisa transaction. The Sasol Khanyisa transaction comprised a number of
        elements, one of which is a free share allocation (“Free Share Allocation”) under the Sasol Khanyisa
        Invitation. High level details of the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation can be found in the circular to Sasol
        shareholders dated Wednesday, 18 October 2017, which is available on the Sasol website at
        www.sasol.com.


2.      We refer to the joint announcement published on 29 March 2018 relating to the Free Share Allocation
        to holders of SOLBE1 Shares and SIPBEE Shares whose names appear on the relevant securities
        registers on Friday, 6 April 2018 ("Record Date") ("Eligible Shareholders").


3.      Sasol Khanyisa will send a letter ("Letter") to Eligible Shareholders on 16 April 2018 with full details
        of their entitlement to receive:


        3.1.    from Sasol Khanyisa Public, ordinary shares for free; and


        3.2.    from Sasol, arranged by Sasol Khanyisa Public, SOLBE1 Shares for free,


        ("Free Shares").
                                                                                                             2


4.   Disposals of SOLBE1 Shares and/or SIPBEE Shares


     Eligible Shareholders need to be aware that from the date of this announcement:


     4.1.   if SOLBE1 Shares are sold before Wednesday, 9 May 2018, the buyer/s will receive the right
            to the associated portion of the Free Shares (this is what is known as trading "cum rights");


     4.2.   if SIPBEE Shares are sold before Wednesday, 9 May 2018 when trading in SIPBEE Shares
            will be suspended, they will be sold cum rights and that, accordingly, the buyer/s will receive
            the right to the associated portion of the Free Shares.


5.   Suspension of trading in SIPBEE Shares


     5.1.   Trading in SIPBEE Shares on the BEE Segment of the JSE will be suspended from
            Wednesday, 9 May 2018 until they are delisted on or about 7 September 2018 in accordance
            with the terms of their listing on the BEE Segment on 1 December 2015.


     5.2.   The reason for the suspension is to avoid any purchaser of SIPBEE Shares after Wednesday,
