Shareholders are referred to the announcement published on the Stock Exchange
News Service of the JSE (“SENS”) on Monday, 20 August 2018 wherein it was stated
that:
- Sasol Inzalo Public Funding (RF) Limited (“Fundco”), a wholly owned subsidiary
of Sasol Inzalo Public, is obliged to redeem its A, B and C preference shares on
the tenth anniversary of the issue date. This redemption will take place on
Monday, 10 September 2018 together with payment of final dividends on these
preference shares. The aggregate amount required for this purpose is
approximately R7,4 billion (the “Preference Share Debt”);
- Fundco currently holds 16 085 199 Sasol preferred ordinary shares and is obliged
to dispose of a sufficient number of these shares to Sasol Limited (“Sasol”) on
Friday, 7 September 2018 in order to satisfy the Preference Share Debt. This
disposal will take place at the 30 day volume weighted average price of a Sasol
ordinary share (“30 day VWAP”) on Thursday, 6 September 2018;
- Sasol has accepted the offer from Fundco to sell, for cash, to Sasol any Available
Shares held by Fundco after settlement of the Preference Share Debt;

distributed to Sasol Inzalo Public shareholders less a provision for expenses
