SASOL’S LOW-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (LDPE) UNIT AT LAKE CHARLES ACHIEVES
BENEFICIAL OPERATION

Sasol is pleased to announce that the LDPE unit at the Lake Charles Chemicals Project (LCCP)
achieved beneficial operation on 15 November 2020. This unit, which was damaged in a fire
during commissioning in January 2020, is the last of seven units to be brought into operation.
The LCCP is now 100 percent complete with total capital expenditure forecast to be within the
previously communicated guidance of US$12,8 billion.

The LDPE unit, which uses ExxonMobil technology, has a nameplate capacity of 420 kilotons
per annum, making it one of the largest of its kind in the world. The LDPE unit is one of the
three LCCP plants that will form part of the Sasol/LyondellBasell Louisiana Integrated
Polyethylene joint venture. Production from the LDPE unit is an important milestone to ensure
the JV will be enabled to make a meaningful expansion into the U.S. polymers production
market.

All units which were operating prior to Hurricane Laura have returned to operation, with no
further operational impact from Hurricane Zeta.
