ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING REPURCHASE OF PREFERRED ORDINARY SHARES FROM SASOL
INZALO PUBLIC FUNDING (RF) PROPRIETARY LIMITED (“INZALO PUBLIC FUNDCO”), A
SUBSIDIARY OF SASOL INZALO PUBLIC (RF) LIMITED

1.      Shareholders are reminded that at a general meeting held on 17 November 2017, shareholders
        authorised Sasol, by way of a specific authority, to repurchase all or some of the Sasol preferred
        ordinary shares (“Preferred Ordinary Shares”) held by Inzalo Public FundCo at the 30 day volume
        weighted average price (“VWAP”) of a Sasol ordinary share (“SOL Share”) on the business day
        immediately prior to the date of repurchase of the Preferred Ordinary Shares.

2.      Sasol today repurchased 16 085 199 Preferred Ordinary Shares, being all the Preferred Ordinary
        Shares from Inzalo Public FundCo. The 30 day VWAP of a SOL Share on 6 September 2018 was
        R542,11. Sasol therefore paid R8 720 million for such Preferred Ordinary Shares. The 16 085 199
        Preferred Ordinary Shares were cancelled upon repurchase in accordance with section 35(5) of the
        Companies Act 2008, as amended, and have the same status as authorised but unissued shares.

3.      The proceeds of the repurchase of the Preferred Ordinary Shares were sufficient to discharge in full
        the preference share funding obligations of Inzalo Public FundCo. The guarantee which Sasol gave to
        the holders of Class C preference shares has therefore ceased to have any effect.

4.      The financial effect of the repurchase on Sasol’s earnings per share, headline earnings per share, net
        asset value per share and net tangible asset value per share will be confined to the legal fees, the
        taxes levied by the South African Revenue Services and the JSE documentation fee which are
        considered negligible. The repurchase of the Preferred Ordinary Shares has been funded out of
        available cash and credit facilities.
