STATEMENT ON SASOL’S LAKE CHARLES CHEMICALS COMPLEX

On 27 August 2020, Hurricane Laura made landfall near Sasol’s Lake Charles
Chemicals Complex in Southwest Louisiana.

Sasol activated its inclement weather protocols ahead of the storm at all affected Gulf
Coast locations in preparation for Hurricane Laura, with the primary concern being the
safety of our workforce, the protection of the environment and the integrity of our
facilities. Part of the response was to temporarily shut down facilities at Lake Charles,
Louisiana, as well as Greens Bayou and Winnie, Texas.

Sasol is supporting its employees in the impacted areas, assisting with temporary
housing, transportation and basic amenities for those affected by the storm.

The storm resulted in widespread electrical blackouts and other damage, preventing
Sasol from operating most utility systems. High voltage transmission line corridors
into the Lake Charles area are damaged, and the full assessment is still in progress
by a local power company. Sasol’s manufacturing facilities in Lake Charles remain
shut down.

Operations recovery crews at the Lake Charles site have started the damage
assessment process, and early reports indicate no apparent damage to process
equipment and no flooding damage experienced as a result of storm surge. The high
wind speeds caused damage to the cooling towers at the Lake Charles Chemicals
Complex.

Other Sasol manufacturing operations in the United States in Greens Bayou and
Winnie, Texas, were not impacted by the storm.

Start-up of the plants will depend on the availability of electricity, industrial gases, other
feedstocks and the restoration process. We are engaging with our customers and
suppliers regularly regarding the impacts on production.

Sasol has Atlantic Named Wind Storm (ANWS) insurance coverage for units under
construction as well as operating units.

Sasol will update the market as more certainty on the situation in Lake Charles is
obtained. We do not envisage that the hurricane will have an adverse impact on any
potential divestment transaction related to Sasol’s base chemical portfolio in the
United States.
