Update on independent Board review and release of 2019 annual financial
results

On 16 August 2019, Sasol announced that the Board of Directors of Sasol (the
Board) had decided to delay the announcement of the Company’s financial results
for the year ended 30 June 2019 (2019 financial results) which were due to be
released on 19 August 2019 and that the Board expected to release them on
19 September 2019. This delay was to allow for the completion of the assessment of
possible internal control weaknesses identified during the independent review
announced by the Board previously.

The Board has resolved to commission additional work under the independent
review and to stipulate for in-depth investigation into certain aspects contemplated
under the original scope. This will allow a complete and thorough investigation,
enabling the effective conclusion of the audit of the Company’s 2019 financial
results. This work includes an assessment as to whether any identified control
weakness and root cause of the changes in the cost and schedule of the Lake
Charles Chemicals Project (LCCP) were present in the previous financial year and/or
in the technology function of the Sasol group.

The Board is focused on resolving this as soon as possible and all efforts are being
made to get to a swift outcome without compromising the integrity of the processes
underway. Additional resources have been deployed by the independent experts to
complete the review by mid-October 2019. The external audit work is being
conducted in parallel with the independent review and will be completed shortly
thereafter, with the objective of releasing the audited 2019 financial results by no
later than Thursday, 31 October 2019. A further announcement will be made as soon as
the Board has determined the date on which the 2019 financial results will be
released.

The Board is mindful of the Company’s financial reporting obligations to regulators
and shareholders under the applicable South African and United States regulatory
requirements and will do all within its control to meet its obligations in that regard.

At the date of this announcement, nothing has come to the attention of the Board
that necessitates a revision of the guidance on the earnings ranges provided in the
trading statement of 25 July 2019 and the cost guidance for the LCCP of
US$12,6 - 12,9 billion provided on 22 May 2019.

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, cost reductions, our Continuous Improvement (CI) initiative and
business performance outlook. Words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend,
“seek”, “will”, “plan”, “could”, “may”, “endeavour”, “target”, “forecast” and “project” and similar

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,

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
