Forward-looking statements – Disclaimer: Sasol may, in this document, make certain
statements that are not historical facts and relate to analyses and other information
which are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet
determinable. These statements may also relate to our future prospects,
developments and business strategies. Examples of such forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding exchange rate
fluctuations, volume growth, increases in market share, total shareholder return,
executing our growth projects (including LCCP) oil and gas reserves and cost
reductions, including in connection with our Business Performance Enhancement
Programme, Response Plan, Continuous Improvement programme and our business
performance outlook. Words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”,
“seek”, “will”, “plan”, “could”, “may”, “endeavour”, “target”, “forecast”, “project” and
similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are
not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature,
forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and
specific, and there are risks that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other
forward-looking statements will not be achieved. If one or more of these risks
materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may
differ materially from those anticipated. You should understand that a number of
important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans,
objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward looking
statements. These factors are discussed more fully in our most recent annual report
on Form 20-F filed on 28 August 2018 and in other filings with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission. The list of factors discussed therein is not
exhaustive; when relying on forward-looking statements to make investment
decisions, you should carefully consider both these factors and other uncertainties
and events. Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date on which they are
made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
