All the resolutions, with the exception of the non-binding advisory votes on Ordinary Resolution 5 - Remuneration Policy
and Ordinary Resolution 6 – Implementation Report on the Remuneration Policy, were passed by the requisite number of
voting rights exercised.

More than 25% of the votes exercised by shareholders, were voted against the Company’s Remuneration Policy
(Ordinary Resolution 5) and the Implementation Report of the Remuneration Policy (Ordinary Resolution 6). In terms of
the recommendations of the King IV™ Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa, 2016 and paragraph 3.84(k) of
the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, the Sasol Remuneration Committee (the Committee), on behalf of the Board, will
engage with shareholders to better understand the reasons why they voted against these non-binding advisory
endorsements, to enable the Committee to consider these concerns.

Accordingly, any shareholder that voted against the non-binding advisory endorsements and who wishes to engage with
the Company regarding these matters, is requested to write to Ms T Sydow via email to investor.relations@sasol.com by
close of business 15 January 2021, setting out any reason(s) for voting against the non-binding advisory endorsement(s),
and indicating whether such shareholder would be interested in participating in further engagement. The Company will
determine the format of such engagement once it has a better understanding as to the number of shareholders who wish
to engage with the Company.
