SASOL ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT

As a company proudly rooted in our South African heritage, we embrace broad-based black economic
empowerment ("B-BBEE") as a key enabler for economic transformation and inclusive growth. We are
committed to contributing meaningfully to sustainable transformation and view this as both a social and
business imperative. As part of our ongoing commitment to transformation, we are pleased to introduce
Sasol Khanyisa, our proposed new B-BBEE ownership structure.

OUR SASOL INZALO BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT TRANSACTION NEARS THE END OF ITS 10-YEAR TERM

Sasol shareholders are reminded that the Sasol Inzalo B-BBEE transaction ("the Sasol Inzalo
Transaction"), which was created in 2008 with the objective of providing many South Africans with the
opportunity to own an equity interest in Sasol, will come to an end in 2018. The Sasol Inzalo Transaction
included the following participants:

- the Sasol Inzalo employee trusts ("Sasol Inzalo employee trusts");
- the Sasol Black Economic Empowerment ("BEE") ordinary ("SOLBE1") shareholders ("Inzalo Cash
Element" or "SOLBE1 shareholders");
- the Sasol Inzalo Groups funded element ("Inzalo Groups element" or "Inzalo Groups") and the Sasol
Inzalo Public funded element ("Inzalo Public Funded element" or "Inzalo Public"); and
- the Sasol Inzalo Foundation.

54 different selected entities participated in Inzalo Groups, which included groups comprising Sasol
customers, suppliers, franchisees and non-governmental organisations. In addition, more than 200 000
members of the South African black public participated in the Inzalo Public Funded element and Sasol
Limited has more than 50 000 SOLBE1 shareholders. Approximately 23 000 Sasol employees participated
in the Sasol Inzalo employee trusts.

The Sasol Inzalo employee trusts will come to an end in 2018 and separately the new Sasol Khanyisa
Employee Share Ownership plan ("ESOP"), as described in paragraph 3.3 below, will be implemented.
Since 2008, the Sasol Inzalo employee trusts received dividends in the amount of approximately
R1,6 billion equivalent to approximately R52 000 per participant. Based on the closing Sasol Ordinary
share price (SOL) of R389 on 4 September 2017, there will be no distribution of SOL shares to participants
in the Sasol Inzalo employee trusts when the Sasol Inzalo Transaction ends in 2018.

SOLBE1 shareholders will, subject to the requisite Sasol shareholder approval being obtained, be given the
right to participate in Sasol Khanyisa in accordance with the terms and conditions described in paragraph 3.1 below.

In relation to the Inzalo Groups element and the Inzalo Public Funded element, the acquisition through
subsidiaries ("Inzalo FundCos") of preferred ordinary shares in Sasol ("Preferred Ordinary Shares") by
Sasol Inzalo Groups (RF) Limited and Sasol Inzalo Public (RF) Limited (together "Inzalo") was partly
funded by way of equity contributions from Inzalo shareholders, with a large portion of the required funding
being raised by the issue of preference shares by the Inzalo FundCos to Sasol and various banks. Sasol
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sasol Financing (Pty) Ltd ("Sasol Financing"), provided a residual
guarantee for the full redemption and cumulative dividends of a portion of the preference share funding
taken up by various banks.

The Inzalo FundCos will be required to dispose of the Preferred Ordinary Shares in order to be in a position
to redeem the preference share funding and cumulative dividends in 2018. Any shortfall in the value of the
Preferred Ordinary Shares held by the Inzalo FundCos will be made good through a subscription of shares
by Sasol in the Inzalo FundCos. Based on the closing SOL share price of R389 on 4 September 2017,
there is a shortfall (backed by the guarantee referred to above) and a funding commitment for the Sasol
Group of approximately R2,1 billion, and as a result there will be no distribution of SOL shares to Inzalo
Groups and the Inzalo Public Funded element participants when the Sasol Inzalo Transaction ends in 2018.

Sasol's preferred funding option, subject to shareholder approval, is that Sasol repurchases the Preferred
Ordinary Shares from the Inzalo FundCos at the 30 day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of a SOL
share at the relevant time utilising cash raised through an issue of up to 43 million SOL shares through an
accelerated book-build to facilitate the issue. Sasol will only issue such number of SOL shares which are
required for the above purpose.

The Sasol Inzalo Foundation will be renamed and will continue as a public benefit organisation, driving
excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education at all levels of the
education value chain. The Sasol Inzalo Foundation benefitted over 20 million learners in South African
public schools by way of 118 natural science, technology and mathematics school work books that were
developed. In addition, more than 800 bursaries and fellowships have been awarded to students at 16
South African universities, to name but a few examples.

PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION BY SASOL OF SASOL KHANYISA, A R21 BILLION BROAD-BASED
BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT TRANSACTION

1. Overview

Separately from the termination of the Sasol Inzalo Transaction, the board of directors of Sasol (the
"Board") intends, subject to, inter alia, shareholder approval, to implement the Sasol Khanyisa transaction
("Sasol Khanyisa") in fulfilment of the ownership requirements of the Revised Codes of Good Practice (the
"Codes"), which came into effect on 1 May 2015. The Sasol Khanyisa ownership structure is intended to
achieve approximately 20% direct black ownership in Sasol South Africa Proprietary Limited ("SSA"),
currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sasol, for a period of up to ten years (the "Khanyisa Empowerment
Period") which, along with black ownership at Sasol, translates (for measurement purposes) into at least
25% black ownership at SSA level for the Khanyisa Empowerment Period. Sasol Khanyisa will enable
Sasol to meet its net ownership objectives under the Codes and to achieve empowerment on an ongoing
basis thereafter due to an automatic exchange at the end of the Khanyisa Empowerment Period of shares
in Sasol Khanyisa or SSA for SOLBE1 shares listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, as more fully
described in paragraph 4 below.

2. Creation of a sustainable B-BBEE structure through Sasol Khanyisa

Sasol's contributor status in terms of the Codes is based on the Sasol Group's performance across each of
the following pillars: equity ownership, management control, skills development, enterprise and supplier
development (which includes preferential procurement expenditure as a sub-component) and socio-
economic development.

By implementing Sasol Khanyisa, Sasol will seek to ensure ongoing and sustainable equity ownership of
Sasol by black South Africans. Whilst Sasol Khanyisa will have a finite period of ownership as regards
SSA, the transaction has been structured to have a long-lasting effect on Sasol after the Khanyisa
Empowerment Period. To this end, shareholders in Inzalo Public and Inzalo Groups ("Inzalo
Shareholders"), holders of SOLBE1 shares on the requisite record dates for participation, and qualifying
Sasol employees who are beneficiaries in the Sasol Inzalo employee trusts ("Sasol Inzalo employee trust
participants") and who are in the employ of the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, will have an opportunity to
participate in Sasol Khanyisa with effect from 1 June 2018 (or such other date as Sasol may determine)
("Effective Date").

In addition to the above, Sasol employees, who are Black Persons as defined in the B-BBEE Act ("Black
Persons") and who are employed by the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, and such new employees joining
the Sasol Group between 19 May 2018 and the 5th anniversary of the Effective Date, will also be afforded
the opportunity to further participate in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP.

Sasol has been primarily guided by the following design principles in structuring Sasol Khanyisa:

2.1 achieving effective (direct and indirect) B-BBEE ownership credentials of at least 25% for SSA and,
ultimately, after the settlement of any residual funding obligations outstanding at that date, achieving
ongoing and sustained, unencumbered B-BBEE ownership of SOLBE1 shares;

2.2 achieving a sustainable B-BBEE transaction at an acceptable economic cost and within market norms;

2.3 maintaining appreciable involvement of broad-based women's groups for the duration of the
Khanyisa Empowerment Period;

2.4 incentivising qualifying Inzalo participants (as defined in paragraph 3.2 below) and eligible SOLBE1
shareholders (as defined in paragraph 3.2 below) to participate in Sasol Khanyisa by offering
ordinary shares in Sasol Khanyisa Public (RF) Proprietary Limited ("Sasol Khanyisa Public") for no
consideration payable by them, which will result in them holding shares indirectly in SSA;

2.5 providing Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants and qualifying Sasol employees the opportunity
to participate in Sasol Khanyisa by acquiring vested rights through a new employee share
ownership plan in SSA;

2.6 Sasol will be providing notional and other vendor funding for Sasol Khanyisa; and

2.7 promoting direct, unencumbered investment in Sasol in the form of SOLBE1 shares from the date of
implementation of Sasol Khanyisa.

3. Terms of Sasol Khanyisa

Sasol Khanyisa consists of three distinct elements:

3.1 SOLBE1 shareholders to elect not to re-designate their SOLBE1 shares to Sasol ordinary shares

Current SOLBE1 shareholders will, subject to the requisite Sasol shareholder approval being obtained, be
given the right, by way of a specific invitation to be extended by Sasol to elect that their entire holding of
SOLBE1 shares will not re-designate to SOL shares in accordance with their existing rights ("the Election").
This opportunity to make the Election will be made available by Sasol to all SOLBE1 shareholders recorded
on the share register at a date to be selected by Sasol in its sole discretion (the "Election Record Date").

SOLBE1 shareholders, pursuant to having made the Election, will retain their existing SOLBE1 shares and
will receive from Sasol one additional SOLBE1 share, by way of a bonus award, for every four SOLBE1
shares beneficially owned on the Election Record Date, with fractional entitlements rounded up where
necessary ("SOLBE1 Bonus Award"). The SOLBE1 shares held by such SOLBE1 shareholders will remain
listed on the Empowerment Segment of the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE").
Application will be made to the JSE for the listing of the shares comprising the SOLBE1 Bonus Award with
effect from the Effective Date.

In order to effectively facilitate the process, Sasol will determine an earlier date than originally envisaged,
occurring during the period from 1 April 2018 to 27 June 2018, to be the date on which the SOLBE1 shares
re-designate to SOL shares.

Those SOLBE1 shares held by SOLBE1 shareholders who do not make the Election will re-designate to
SOL shares and they will accordingly not participate in Sasol Khanyisa. Application will be made to the JSE
to amend the listing of the requisite number of SOLBE1 shares that have re-designated to SOL shares with
effect from the date of re-designation.

3.2 Sasol Khanyisa Invitation to SOLBE1 shareholders and Sasol Inzalo participants

Separately, Sasol Khanyisa Public will extend an invitation to eligible SOLBE1 shareholders and qualifying
Sasol Inzalo participants ("Sasol Khanyisa Invitation"). Invitees will be deemed to have accepted the
invitation unless they have indicated in writing that they do not wish to participate.

Eligible SOLBE1 shareholders are the holders of SOLBE1 shares on the Sasol Khanyisa invitation record
date (the "Sasol Khanyisa Invitation Record Date"), being the day after the date on which the SOLBE1
shares held by those SOLBE1 shareholders who do not exercise the Election, re-designate as SOL shares.

Qualifying Sasol Inzalo participants are all Inzalo Shareholders who are shareholders in Inzalo Public and
Inzalo Groups at the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation Record Date.

Sasol Khanyisa Public will extend the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation as follows:

- Eligible SOLBE1 shareholders will be issued on the Effective Date, for no consideration payable by them:

- by Sasol Khanyisa Public, one share in Sasol Khanyisa Public for every one SOLBE1 share
beneficially owned on the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation Record Date; and

- by Sasol, one SOLBE1 share for every ten Sasol Khanyisa Public shares to be beneficially owned.

- Qualifying Sasol Inzalo participants will be issued on the Effective Date, for no consideration
payable by them:

- by Sasol Khanyisa Public, one share in Sasol Khanyisa Public for every one Sasol Inzalo
share beneficially owned on the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation Record Date; and

- by Sasol, one SOLBE1 share for every ten Sasol Khanyisa Public shares to be beneficially owned.

Application will be made to the JSE for the listing of the SOLBE1 shares, issued in respect of the Sasol
Khanyisa Invitation, on the JSE on the Effective Date.

3.3 Sasol Khanyisa Employee Share Ownership Plan

The Sasol Khanyisa ESOP consists of two employee share ownership plans, one for Sasol Inzalo
employee trust participants and the other for qualifying Black Sasol employees, both of whom will become
vested beneficiaries of the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust, unless they 'opt out', for no consideration to them.
The Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust will subscribe for the requisite number of SOLBE1 shares, SOL shares
and SSA shares, as further described below.

3.3.1 Participation by Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP

The Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP comprise:

a) Black Persons who are existing Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants and who are employed by
the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, who will be entitled to elect to acquire upfront vested rights, and
subject to certain conditions, will receive R100 000's worth of SOLBE1 shares or SOL shares based
on an election by black employees; and

b) other employees, who are existing Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants but who are not Black
Persons, and who are employed by the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, who will acquire upfront
vested rights, subject to certain conditions, will receive R100 000's worth of SOL shares.

The number of SOL shares or SOLBE1 shares to which each such Sasol Inzalo employee trust participant
will acquire vested rights will depend on the 30 day VWAP of the SOL shares or the SOLBE1 shares, as
the case may be.

Application will be made to the JSE for the listing of the requisite number of SOLBE1 and SOL shares with
effect from the Effective Date. Sasol Khanyisa ESOP beneficiaries, who remain employed for the periods
specified in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust deed, will obtain ownership of the SOLBE1 or SOL shares to
which they acquired vested rights.

3.3.2 Participation by qualifying Black Sasol employees in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP

In addition to participation by Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants as set out in paragraph 3.3.1,
Sasol employees who are Black Persons and who are employed by the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, and such
employees joining the Sasol Group between 19 May 2018 and the 5th anniversary of the Effective Date
("Qualifying Sasol Employees"), will acquire vested rights to SSA shares. They will become owners of the
shares in which they have vested rights if, subject to various exceptions, they remain employed for the
required period.

A maximum of 28 385 647 SSA shares will be made available to the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP, with Qualifying
Sasol Employees in the employ of the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, each obtaining an equal number of
vested rights to SSA shares.

The Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust will receive a trickle dividend from SSA, as determined in accordance with
a formula set out in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust deed, (less any withholding tax) in respect of the SSA
shares in which the participants have vested rights.

Qualifying Sasol Employees, subject to some exceptions, who remain employed for the required period, will
obtain ownership of the SSA shares in which the participant has vested rights. Beneficiaries of the Sasol
Khanyisa ESOP Trust will participate indirectly in any resolution of the shareholders of SSA or Sasol (as
the case may be) that the trustees are entitled to vote on.

4. Automatic exchange of Sasol Khanyisa Public shares for SOLBE1 shares

At the end of the Khanyisa Empowerment Period, holders of Sasol Khanyisa shares and participants in the
Sasol Khanyisa ESOP will ultimately receive SOLBE1 shares for their Sasol Khanyisa shares and vested
rights to SSA shares. This will occur via a share exchange (the "Share Exchange") on the basis of a ratio
that will be determined by an independent expert taking into account the relative value of Sasol and SSA at
that time. Participants who receive SOLBE1 shares following the Share Exchange will then be free to trade
their SOLBE1 shares on the Empowerment Segment of the JSE as they deem fit.

5. Financing of Sasol Khanyisa

5.1. Sasol Khanyisa Public

Sasol Khanyisa Public will establish Khanyisa Fundco as its wholly-owned subsidiary, which will:

- issue preference shares ("Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares") to Sasol for a subscription
consideration of up to a maximum of R10 billion;

- use the entire proceeds of such issue to subscribe for up to a maximum of 28 385 647 SSA shares,
resulting in Khanyisa Fundco directly, and Sasol Khanyisa Public indirectly, owning up to a
maximum of 10,75% of the total issued share capital of SSA; and

- receive distributions on its SSA shares in accordance with SSA's dividend policy, when such
distributions are made.

The Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares will be redeemed at the end of the Khanyisa Empowerment
Period. Dividends on the Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares are calculated daily and are compounded
monthly on the subscription price of each Khanyisa Fundco Preference Share at a rate equal to 75% of the
prime rate (as defined in the funding agreements relating to Khanyisa Fundco). Dividends in respect of the
Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares will be required to be paid to Sasol on 1 April and 1 October of each year.

For so long as the Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares have not been redeemed, unless Sasol agrees to a
higher percentage, a maximum of 2,5% of the dividend which Khanyisa Fundco receives from SSA will be
declared to Sasol Khanyisa Public, as its sole ordinary shareholder. These dividends may be distributed to
the shareholders of Sasol Khanyisa Public (after the deduction of dividend withholding tax). Khanyisa
Fundco will not be entitled to declare any further dividend to Sasol Khanyisa Public for so long as the
Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares have not been redeemed.

5.2. Sasol Khanyisa ESOP

The SSA shares to be issued to the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust will be the subject of notional vendor
funding by SSA. For so long as the notional vendor funding is in existence, 2,5% (which could be adjusted
upwards in accordance with an objective formula) of the dividend declared by SSA to its ordinary
shareholders (other than the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust) will be declared on the SSA shares held by the
Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust.

SSA has the right to repurchase a number of SSA shares from the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust on the
basis of a predetermined formula at the issue price thereof.

6. Fairness opinion

The Sasol Board has appointed Deloitte & Touche as an independent expert to provide a voluntary fairness
opinion to assist Sasol shareholders in determining the fairness of Sasol Khanyisa to Sasol shareholders.
The opinion of Deloitte & Touche will be included in the circular to shareholders referred to in paragraph 10
below ("Circular").

7. Pro forma financial effects

The table below sets out the pro forma financial effects of the Sasol Inzalo Transaction and Sasol Khanyisa
(the "Transactions") on, inter alia, Sasol's basic earnings per share, headline earnings per share, weighted
average number of shares in issue, diluted earnings per share, diluted headline earning per share,
weighted average number of diluted shares in issue, net asset value per share and net tangible asset value
per share, based on the most recently published audited consolidated financial results of the Sasol Group
for the financial year ended 30 June 2017.

The pro forma financial effects assume that the Transactions had been fully implemented on 1 July 2016
for purposes of presenting the pro forma financial effects thereof on the pro forma consolidated income
statement, and 30 June 2017 for purposes of the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position and
the pro forma consolidated statement of changes in equity.

The pro forma financial effects are presented in a manner consistent in all respects with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and Sasol Group's accounting policies. The pro forma financial
effects are presented in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements and the Guide on Pro Forma
Financial Information issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.

The pro forma financial information is the responsibility of the Directors and was prepared for illustrative
purposes only and may not, because of its nature, fairly present Sasol Group's financial position, changes
in equity and results of its operations or cash flows, nor the effect and impact of the Proposed Transactions
going forward. It does not purport to be indicative of what the financial results would have been, had the
Transactions been implemented on a different date.

Notes and assumptions:

1. The "Before" column is based on the published audited consolidated financial statements of the Sasol
Group for the year ended 30 June 2017.

2. The "Pro forma after the Transactions" column has been calculated on the basis that all of the steps to
execute the Sasol Inzalo transaction termination and to implement Sasol Khanyisa have been
completed; and is based on the following assumptions for each of the three distinct elements of the
Sasol Khanyisa Transaction:

i. The Election pursuant to which the SOLBE1 Bonus Award will be made: This has been assumed to
occur on the basis that 15% of the SOLBE1 shareholders will elect that his/her SOLBE1 shares do
not automatically re-designate to SOL shares. Any re-designation from SOLBE1 to SOL shares is
inconsequential for the purposes of the per share information contained in the pro forma financial
effects, as the SOL shares and SOLBE1 Shares are treated as issued shares;

ii. Sasol Khanyisa Invitation: It has been assumed that 100% of Qualifying Sasol Inzalo participants
and eligible SOLBE1 shareholders do not reject the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation; and

iii. Sasol Khanyisa ESOP:

- For the benefit of the Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants: It has been assumed that no
such employee notifies the trustees that he/she does not wish to become a vested beneficiary,
and that 15% of the Black Persons who are Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants will not
elect to acquire vested rights in SOL shares instead of acquiring vested rights in SOLBE1
shares; and

- For the benefit of the Qualifying Sasol Employees: It has been assumed that no such
employees reject participation in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP.

The Directors have considered a number of scenarios and, based on comparative precedent from a
recent similar transaction, consider that the most likely outcome (as summarised above) is that 15% of
the SOLBE1 shareholders will make the Election and that 15% of Black Persons who are Sasol Inzalo
employee trust participants will not elect to acquire vested rights in SOL shares instead of acquiring
vested rights in SOLBE1 shares. In note 5 below, a scenario has been presented to illustrate the
financial effects should:

- 100% of the SOLBE1 shareholders make the Election; and

- 100% of the Black Persons who are Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants will not elect to
acquire vested rights in SOL shares and instead acquire vested rights in SOLBE1 shares.

3. The effects on basic earnings, diluted earnings, headline earnings, and diluted headline earnings per
share are calculated on the basis that the proposed Transactions were effective on 1 July 2016, while
the effects on net asset value and net tangible asset value per share are calculated on the basis that
the proposed Transactions were effective on 30 June 2017 for purposes of presenting the pro forma
financial effects thereof on the Sasol Group.

4. The increase in the weighted average number of issued shares is congruent with:

i. the assumed specific issue of sufficient SOL shares in terms of the accelerated book-build to fund
the A, B and C preference share funding, the Inzalo shortfall, as well as any related costs and taxes
(31,25 million shares)(1);

ii. the 2,92 million SOLBE1 shares will be included in the weighted average number of shares in
relation to the SOLBE1 Bonus Award and the Khanyisa Invitation as it relates to eligible SOLBE1
shareholders and eligible Inzalo shareholders .

(1) For purposes of the pro forma financial effects, the assumed specific issue of SOL shares has been
calculated based on the number of SOL shares to be issued as at the Last Practicable Price, in order
to settle the outstanding balance on the A, B and C preference shares outstanding as at 30 June 2017,
plus related costs and taxes that would ensue upon the issue. However, the final number of SOL shares
required to be issued at the Inzalo Transaction Termination dates will depend on the SOL share price at
the Inzalo Transaction Termination dates, dividends declared and paid between 30 June 2017 and the
Inzalo Transaction Termination dates as well as dividends which accrues on the A, B and C preference
shares between 30 June 2017 and the Inzalo Transaction Termination dates. This cannot be reliably
estimated as at the Last Practicable Date and consequently, this could result in additional SOL shares
being issued to cover the additional funding costs and taxes not yet accrued at 30 June 2017.

5. The increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares includes the impact of the
SOL/SOLBE1 shares to be issued, as calculated in terms of IAS 33: Earnings per share, in terms of the
Sasol Khanyisa ESOP for the benefit of the Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants.

As described in note 2 above, a scenario has been presented below to illustrate the financial effects
pertaining to the following:

- 100% of the SOLBE1 shareholders make the Election; and

- 100% of the Black Persons who are Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants elect not to acquire
vested rights in SOL shares and instead acquire vested rights in SOLBE1 shares.

However, the pro forma financial effects do not consider the impact of the shares to be issued pursuant
to the Automatic Share Exchange as this cannot currently be reliably estimated. This increase in the
weighted average number of diluted shares is dependent on the SOLBE1 share price, and its relative
net fair value to a SSA share, which considers the underlying funding (FundCo preference share
funding and ESOP notional vendor funding), at the date of the termination of the Sasol Khanyisa
Transaction. At each reporting date, the diluted earnings per share impact will be determined by
calculating the number of SOLBE1 shares which would be issued for no consideration. This will be
based on the difference between the average SOLBE1 share price for the reporting period, and the
unexpensed share-based payment charge at the reporting date.

The following table provides the illustrative financial effects of the potential issues of SOLBE1 shares,
on basic earnings per share, headline earnings per share, weighted average number of shares in
issue, diluted earnings per share, diluted headline earning per share, weighted average number of
diluted shares in issue, net asset value per share and net tangible asset value per share, should the
assumptions applied above be increased to 100%.

Sasol announcement regarding Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment

Sasol Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
Registration number 1979/003231/06
Sasol Ordinary Share codes: JSE: SOL NYSE: SSL
Sasol Ordinary ISIN codes: ZAE000006896 US8038663006

SASOL ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT

As a company proudly rooted in our South African heritage, we embrace broad-based black economic
empowerment ("B-BBEE") as a key enabler for economic transformation and inclusive growth. We are
committed to contributing meaningfully to sustainable transformation and view this as both a social and
business imperative. As part of our ongoing commitment to transformation, we are pleased to introduce
Sasol Khanyisa, our proposed new B-BBEE ownership structure.

OUR SASOL INZALO BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT TRANSACTION NEARS THE END OF ITS 10-YEAR TERM

Sasol shareholders are reminded that the Sasol Inzalo B-BBEE transaction ("the Sasol Inzalo
Transaction"), which was created in 2008 with the objective of providing many South Africans with the
opportunity to own an equity interest in Sasol, will come to an end in 2018. The Sasol Inzalo Transaction
included the following participants:

- the Sasol Inzalo employee trusts ("Sasol Inzalo employee trusts");
- the Sasol Black Economic Empowerment ("BEE") ordinary ("SOLBE1") shareholders ("Inzalo Cash
Element" or "SOLBE1 shareholders");
- the Sasol Inzalo Groups funded element ("Inzalo Groups element" or "Inzalo Groups") and the Sasol
Inzalo Public funded element ("Inzalo Public Funded element" or "Inzalo Public"); and
- the Sasol Inzalo Foundation.

54 different selected entities participated in Inzalo Groups, which included groups comprising Sasol
customers, suppliers, franchisees and non-governmental organisations. In addition, more than 200 000
members of the South African black public participated in the Inzalo Public Funded element and Sasol
Limited has more than 50 000 SOLBE1 shareholders. Approximately 23 000 Sasol employees participated
in the Sasol Inzalo employee trusts.

The Sasol Inzalo employee trusts will come to an end in 2018 and separately the new Sasol Khanyisa
Employee Share Ownership plan ("ESOP"), as described in paragraph 3.3 below, will be implemented.
Since 2008, the Sasol Inzalo employee trusts received dividends in the amount of approximately
R1,6 billion equivalent to approximately R52 000 per participant. Based on the closing Sasol Ordinary
share price (SOL) of R389 on 4 September 2017, there will be no distribution of SOL shares to participants
in the Sasol Inzalo employee trusts when the Sasol Inzalo Transaction ends in 2018.

SOLBE1 shareholders will, subject to the requisite Sasol shareholder approval being obtained, be given the
right to participate in Sasol Khanyisa in accordance with the terms and conditions described in paragraph 3.1 below.

In relation to the Inzalo Groups element and the Inzalo Public Funded element, the acquisition through
subsidiaries ("Inzalo FundCos") of preferred ordinary shares in Sasol ("Preferred Ordinary Shares") by
Sasol Inzalo Groups (RF) Limited and Sasol Inzalo Public (RF) Limited (together "Inzalo") was partly
funded by way of equity contributions from Inzalo shareholders, with a large portion of the required funding
being raised by the issue of preference shares by the Inzalo FundCos to Sasol and various banks. Sasol
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sasol Financing (Pty) Ltd ("Sasol Financing"), provided a residual
guarantee for the full redemption and cumulative dividends of a portion of the preference share funding
taken up by various banks.

The Inzalo FundCos will be required to dispose of the Preferred Ordinary Shares in order to be in a position
to redeem the preference share funding and cumulative dividends in 2018. Any shortfall in the value of the
Preferred Ordinary Shares held by the Inzalo FundCos will be made good through a subscription of shares
by Sasol in the Inzalo FundCos. Based on the closing SOL share price of R389 on 4 September 2017,
there is a shortfall (backed by the guarantee referred to above) and a funding commitment for the Sasol
Group of approximately R2,1 billion, and as a result there will be no distribution of SOL shares to Inzalo
Groups and the Inzalo Public Funded element participants when the Sasol Inzalo Transaction ends in 2018.

Sasol's preferred funding option, subject to shareholder approval, is that Sasol repurchases the Preferred
Ordinary Shares from the Inzalo FundCos at the 30 day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of a SOL
share at the relevant time utilising cash raised through an issue of up to 43 million SOL shares through an
accelerated book-build to facilitate the issue. Sasol will only issue such number of SOL shares which are
required for the above purpose.

The Sasol Inzalo Foundation will be renamed and will continue as a public benefit organisation, driving
excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education at all levels of the
education value chain. The Sasol Inzalo Foundation benefitted over 20 million learners in South African
public schools by way of 118 natural science, technology and mathematics school work books that were
developed. In addition, more than 800 bursaries and fellowships have been awarded to students at 16
South African universities, to name but a few examples.

PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION BY SASOL OF SASOL KHANYISA, A R21 BILLION BROAD-BASED
BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT TRANSACTION

1. Overview

Separately from the termination of the Sasol Inzalo Transaction, the board of directors of Sasol (the
"Board") intends, subject to, inter alia, shareholder approval, to implement the Sasol Khanyisa transaction
("Sasol Khanyisa") in fulfilment of the ownership requirements of the Revised Codes of Good Practice (the
"Codes"), which came into effect on 1 May 2015. The Sasol Khanyisa ownership structure is intended to
achieve approximately 20% direct black ownership in Sasol South Africa Proprietary Limited ("SSA"),
currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sasol, for a period of up to ten years (the "Khanyisa Empowerment
Period") which, along with black ownership at Sasol, translates (for measurement purposes) into at least
25% black ownership at SSA level for the Khanyisa Empowerment Period. Sasol Khanyisa will enable
Sasol to meet its net ownership objectives under the Codes and to achieve empowerment on an ongoing
basis thereafter due to an automatic exchange at the end of the Khanyisa Empowerment Period of shares
in Sasol Khanyisa or SSA for SOLBE1 shares listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, as more fully
described in paragraph 4 below.

2. Creation of a sustainable B-BBEE structure through Sasol Khanyisa

Sasol's contributor status in terms of the Codes is based on the Sasol Group's performance across each of
the following pillars: equity ownership, management control, skills development, enterprise and supplier
development (which includes preferential procurement expenditure as a sub-component) and socio-
economic development.

By implementing Sasol Khanyisa, Sasol will seek to ensure ongoing and sustainable equity ownership of
Sasol by black South Africans. Whilst Sasol Khanyisa will have a finite period of ownership as regards
SSA, the transaction has been structured to have a long-lasting effect on Sasol after the Khanyisa
Empowerment Period. To this end, shareholders in Inzalo Public and Inzalo Groups ("Inzalo
Shareholders"), holders of SOLBE1 shares on the requisite record dates for participation, and qualifying
Sasol employees who are beneficiaries in the Sasol Inzalo employee trusts ("Sasol Inzalo employee trust
participants") and who are in the employ of the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, will have an opportunity to
participate in Sasol Khanyisa with effect from 1 June 2018 (or such other date as Sasol may determine)
("Effective Date").

In addition to the above, Sasol employees, who are Black Persons as defined in the B-BBEE Act ("Black
Persons") and who are employed by the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, and such new employees joining
the Sasol Group between 19 May 2018 and the 5th anniversary of the Effective Date, will also be afforded
the opportunity to further participate in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP.

Sasol has been primarily guided by the following design principles in structuring Sasol Khanyisa:

2.1 achieving effective (direct and indirect) B-BBEE ownership credentials of at least 25% for SSA and,
ultimately, after the settlement of any residual funding obligations outstanding at that date, achieving
ongoing and sustained, unencumbered B-BBEE ownership of SOLBE1 shares;

2.2 achieving a sustainable B-BBEE transaction at an acceptable economic cost and within market norms;

2.3 maintaining appreciable involvement of broad-based women's groups for the duration of the
Khanyisa Empowerment Period;

2.4 incentivising qualifying Inzalo participants (as defined in paragraph 3.2 below) and eligible SOLBE1
shareholders (as defined in paragraph 3.2 below) to participate in Sasol Khanyisa by offering
ordinary shares in Sasol Khanyisa Public (RF) Proprietary Limited ("Sasol Khanyisa Public") for no
consideration payable by them, which will result in them holding shares indirectly in SSA;

2.5 providing Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants and qualifying Sasol employees the opportunity
to participate in Sasol Khanyisa by acquiring vested rights through a new employee share
ownership plan in SSA;

2.6 Sasol will be providing notional and other vendor funding for Sasol Khanyisa; and

2.7 promoting direct, unencumbered investment in Sasol in the form of SOLBE1 shares from the date of
implementation of Sasol Khanyisa.

3. Terms of Sasol Khanyisa

Sasol Khanyisa consists of three distinct elements:

3.1 SOLBE1 shareholders to elect not to re-designate their SOLBE1 shares to Sasol ordinary shares

Current SOLBE1 shareholders will, subject to the requisite Sasol shareholder approval being obtained, be
given the right, by way of a specific invitation to be extended by Sasol to elect that their entire holding of
SOLBE1 shares will not re-designate to SOL shares in accordance with their existing rights ("the Election").
This opportunity to make the Election will be made available by Sasol to all SOLBE1 shareholders recorded
on the share register at a date to be selected by Sasol in its sole discretion (the "Election Record Date").

SOLBE1 shareholders, pursuant to having made the Election, will retain their existing SOLBE1 shares and
will receive from Sasol one additional SOLBE1 share, by way of a bonus award, for every four SOLBE1
shares beneficially owned on the Election Record Date, with fractional entitlements rounded up where
necessary ("SOLBE1 Bonus Award"). The SOLBE1 shares held by such SOLBE1 shareholders will remain
listed on the Empowerment Segment of the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE").
Application will be made to the JSE for the listing of the shares comprising the SOLBE1 Bonus Award with
effect from the Effective Date.

In order to effectively facilitate the process, Sasol will determine an earlier date than originally envisaged,
occurring during the period from 1 April 2018 to 27 June 2018, to be the date on which the SOLBE1 shares
re-designate to SOL shares.

Those SOLBE1 shares held by SOLBE1 shareholders who do not make the Election will re-designate to
SOL shares and they will accordingly not participate in Sasol Khanyisa. Application will be made to the JSE
to amend the listing of the requisite number of SOLBE1 shares that have re-designated to SOL shares with
effect from the date of re-designation.

3.2 Sasol Khanyisa Invitation to SOLBE1 shareholders and Sasol Inzalo participants

Separately, Sasol Khanyisa Public will extend an invitation to eligible SOLBE1 shareholders and qualifying
Sasol Inzalo participants ("Sasol Khanyisa Invitation"). Invitees will be deemed to have accepted the
invitation unless they have indicated in writing that they do not wish to participate.

Eligible SOLBE1 shareholders are the holders of SOLBE1 shares on the Sasol Khanyisa invitation record
date (the "Sasol Khanyisa Invitation Record Date"), being the day after the date on which the SOLBE1
shares held by those SOLBE1 shareholders who do not exercise the Election, re-designate as SOL shares.

Qualifying Sasol Inzalo participants are all Inzalo Shareholders who are shareholders in Inzalo Public and
Inzalo Groups at the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation Record Date.

Sasol Khanyisa Public will extend the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation as follows:

- Eligible SOLBE1 shareholders will be issued on the Effective Date, for no consideration payable by them:

- by Sasol Khanyisa Public, one share in Sasol Khanyisa Public for every one SOLBE1 share
beneficially owned on the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation Record Date; and

- by Sasol, one SOLBE1 share for every ten Sasol Khanyisa Public shares to be beneficially owned.

- Qualifying Sasol Inzalo participants will be issued on the Effective Date, for no consideration
payable by them:

- by Sasol Khanyisa Public, one share in Sasol Khanyisa Public for every one Sasol Inzalo
share beneficially owned on the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation Record Date; and

- by Sasol, one SOLBE1 share for every ten Sasol Khanyisa Public shares to be beneficially owned.

Application will be made to the JSE for the listing of the SOLBE1 shares, issued in respect of the Sasol
Khanyisa Invitation, on the JSE on the Effective Date.

3.3 Sasol Khanyisa Employee Share Ownership Plan

The Sasol Khanyisa ESOP consists of two employee share ownership plans, one for Sasol Inzalo
employee trust participants and the other for qualifying Black Sasol employees, both of whom will become
vested beneficiaries of the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust, unless they 'opt out', for no consideration to them.
The Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust will subscribe for the requisite number of SOLBE1 shares, SOL shares
and SSA shares, as further described below.

3.3.1 Participation by Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP

The Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP comprise:

a) Black Persons who are existing Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants and who are employed by
the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, who will be entitled to elect to acquire upfront vested rights, and
subject to certain conditions, will receive R100 000's worth of SOLBE1 shares or SOL shares based
on an election by black employees; and

b) other employees, who are existing Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants but who are not Black
Persons, and who are employed by the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, who will acquire upfront
vested rights, subject to certain conditions, will receive R100 000's worth of SOL shares.

The number of SOL shares or SOLBE1 shares to which each such Sasol Inzalo employee trust participant
will acquire vested rights will depend on the 30 day VWAP of the SOL shares or the SOLBE1 shares, as
the case may be.

Application will be made to the JSE for the listing of the requisite number of SOLBE1 and SOL shares with
effect from the Effective Date. Sasol Khanyisa ESOP beneficiaries, who remain employed for the periods
specified in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust deed, will obtain ownership of the SOLBE1 or SOL shares to
which they acquired vested rights.

3.3.2 Participation by qualifying Black Sasol employees in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP

In addition to participation by Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants as set out in paragraph 3.3.1,
Sasol employees who are Black Persons and who are employed by the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, and such
employees joining the Sasol Group between 19 May 2018 and the 5th anniversary of the Effective Date
("Qualifying Sasol Employees"), will acquire vested rights to SSA shares. They will become owners of the
shares in which they have vested rights if, subject to various exceptions, they remain employed for the
required period.

A maximum of 28 385 647 SSA shares will be made available to the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP, with Qualifying
Sasol Employees in the employ of the Sasol Group on 18 May 2018, each obtaining an equal number of
vested rights to SSA shares.

The Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust will receive a trickle dividend from SSA, as determined in accordance with
a formula set out in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust deed, (less any withholding tax) in respect of the SSA
shares in which the participants have vested rights.

Qualifying Sasol Employees, subject to some exceptions, who remain employed for the required period, will
obtain ownership of the SSA shares in which the participant has vested rights. Beneficiaries of the Sasol
Khanyisa ESOP Trust will participate indirectly in any resolution of the shareholders of SSA or Sasol (as
the case may be) that the trustees are entitled to vote on.

4. Automatic exchange of Sasol Khanyisa Public shares for SOLBE1 shares

At the end of the Khanyisa Empowerment Period, holders of Sasol Khanyisa shares and participants in the
Sasol Khanyisa ESOP will ultimately receive SOLBE1 shares for their Sasol Khanyisa shares and vested
rights to SSA shares. This will occur via a share exchange (the "Share Exchange") on the basis of a ratio
that will be determined by an independent expert taking into account the relative value of Sasol and SSA at
that time. Participants who receive SOLBE1 shares following the Share Exchange will then be free to trade
their SOLBE1 shares on the Empowerment Segment of the JSE as they deem fit.

5. Financing of Sasol Khanyisa

5.1. Sasol Khanyisa Public

Sasol Khanyisa Public will establish Khanyisa Fundco as its wholly-owned subsidiary, which will:

- issue preference shares ("Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares") to Sasol for a subscription
consideration of up to a maximum of R10 billion;

- use the entire proceeds of such issue to subscribe for up to a maximum of 28 385 647 SSA shares,
resulting in Khanyisa Fundco directly, and Sasol Khanyisa Public indirectly, owning up to a
maximum of 10,75% of the total issued share capital of SSA; and

- receive distributions on its SSA shares in accordance with SSA's dividend policy, when such
distributions are made.

The Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares will be redeemed at the end of the Khanyisa Empowerment
Period. Dividends on the Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares are calculated daily and are compounded
monthly on the subscription price of each Khanyisa Fundco Preference Share at a rate equal to 75% of the
prime rate (as defined in the funding agreements relating to Khanyisa Fundco). Dividends in respect of the
Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares will be required to be paid to Sasol on 1 April and 1 October of each year.

For so long as the Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares have not been redeemed, unless Sasol agrees to a
higher percentage, a maximum of 2,5% of the dividend which Khanyisa Fundco receives from SSA will be
declared to Sasol Khanyisa Public, as its sole ordinary shareholder. These dividends may be distributed to
the shareholders of Sasol Khanyisa Public (after the deduction of dividend withholding tax). Khanyisa
Fundco will not be entitled to declare any further dividend to Sasol Khanyisa Public for so long as the
Khanyisa Fundco Preference Shares have not been redeemed.

5.2. Sasol Khanyisa ESOP

The SSA shares to be issued to the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust will be the subject of notional vendor
funding by SSA. For so long as the notional vendor funding is in existence, 2,5% (which could be adjusted
upwards in accordance with an objective formula) of the dividend declared by SSA to its ordinary
shareholders (other than the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust) will be declared on the SSA shares held by the
Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust.

SSA has the right to repurchase a number of SSA shares from the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP Trust on the
basis of a predetermined formula at the issue price thereof.

6. Fairness opinion

The Sasol Board has appointed Deloitte & Touche as an independent expert to provide a voluntary fairness
opinion to assist Sasol shareholders in determining the fairness of Sasol Khanyisa to Sasol shareholders.
The opinion of Deloitte & Touche will be included in the circular to shareholders referred to in paragraph 10
below ("Circular").

7. Pro forma financial effects

The table below sets out the pro forma financial effects of the Sasol Inzalo Transaction and Sasol Khanyisa
(the "Transactions") on, inter alia, Sasol's basic earnings per share, headline earnings per share, weighted
average number of shares in issue, diluted earnings per share, diluted headline earning per share,
weighted average number of diluted shares in issue, net asset value per share and net tangible asset value
per share, based on the most recently published audited consolidated financial results of the Sasol Group
for the financial year ended 30 June 2017.

The pro forma financial effects assume that the Transactions had been fully implemented on 1 July 2016
for purposes of presenting the pro forma financial effects thereof on the pro forma consolidated income
statement, and 30 June 2017 for purposes of the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position and
the pro forma consolidated statement of changes in equity.

The pro forma financial effects are presented in a manner consistent in all respects with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and Sasol Group's accounting policies. The pro forma financial
effects are presented in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements and the Guide on Pro Forma
Financial Information issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.

The pro forma financial information is the responsibility of the Directors and was prepared for illustrative
purposes only and may not, because of its nature, fairly present Sasol Group's financial position, changes
in equity and results of its operations or cash flows, nor the effect and impact of the Proposed Transactions
going forward. It does not purport to be indicative of what the financial results would have been, had the
Transactions been implemented on a different date.

Notes and assumptions:

1. The "Before" column is based on the published audited consolidated financial statements of the Sasol
Group for the year ended 30 June 2017.

2. The "Pro forma after the Transactions" column has been calculated on the basis that all of the steps to
execute the Sasol Inzalo transaction termination and to implement Sasol Khanyisa have been
completed; and is based on the following assumptions for each of the three distinct elements of the
Sasol Khanyisa Transaction:

i. The Election pursuant to which the SOLBE1 Bonus Award will be made: This has been assumed to
occur on the basis that 15% of the SOLBE1 shareholders will elect that his/her SOLBE1 shares do
not automatically re-designate to SOL shares. Any re-designation from SOLBE1 to SOL shares is
inconsequential for the purposes of the per share information contained in the pro forma financial
effects, as the SOL shares and SOLBE1 Shares are treated as issued shares;

ii. Sasol Khanyisa Invitation: It has been assumed that 100% of Qualifying Sasol Inzalo participants
and eligible SOLBE1 shareholders do not reject the Sasol Khanyisa Invitation; and

iii. Sasol Khanyisa ESOP:

- For the benefit of the Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants: It has been assumed that no
such employee notifies the trustees that he/she does not wish to become a vested beneficiary,
and that 15% of the Black Persons who are Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants will not
elect to acquire vested rights in SOL shares instead of acquiring vested rights in SOLBE1
shares; and

- For the benefit of the Qualifying Sasol Employees: It has been assumed that no such
employees reject participation in the Sasol Khanyisa ESOP.

The Directors have considered a number of scenarios and, based on comparative precedent from a
recent similar transaction, consider that the most likely outcome (as summarised above) is that 15% of
the SOLBE1 shareholders will make the Election and that 15% of Black Persons who are Sasol Inzalo
employee trust participants will not elect to acquire vested rights in SOL shares instead of acquiring
vested rights in SOLBE1 shares. In note 5 below, a scenario has been presented to illustrate the
financial effects should:

- 100% of the SOLBE1 shareholders make the Election; and

- 100% of the Black Persons who are Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants will not elect to
acquire vested rights in SOL shares and instead acquire vested rights in SOLBE1 shares.

3. The effects on basic earnings, diluted earnings, headline earnings, and diluted headline earnings per
share are calculated on the basis that the proposed Transactions were effective on 1 July 2016, while
the effects on net asset value and net tangible asset value per share are calculated on the basis that
the proposed Transactions were effective on 30 June 2017 for purposes of presenting the pro forma
financial effects thereof on the Sasol Group.

4. The increase in the weighted average number of issued shares is congruent with:

i. the assumed specific issue of sufficient SOL shares in terms of the accelerated book-build to fund
the A, B and C preference share funding, the Inzalo shortfall, as well as any related costs and taxes
(31,25 million shares)(1);

ii. the 2,92 million SOLBE1 shares will be included in the weighted average number of shares in
relation to the SOLBE1 Bonus Award and the Khanyisa Invitation as it relates to eligible SOLBE1
shareholders and eligible Inzalo shareholders .

(1) For purposes of the pro forma financial effects, the assumed specific issue of SOL shares has been
calculated based on the number of SOL shares to be issued as at the Last Practicable Price, in order
to settle the outstanding balance on the A, B and C preference shares outstanding as at 30 June 2017,
plus related costs and taxes that would ensue upon the issue. However, the final number of SOL shares
required to be issued at the Inzalo Transaction Termination dates will depend on the SOL share price at
the Inzalo Transaction Termination dates, dividends declared and paid between 30 June 2017 and the
Inzalo Transaction Termination dates as well as dividends which accrues on the A, B and C preference
shares between 30 June 2017 and the Inzalo Transaction Termination dates. This cannot be reliably
estimated as at the Last Practicable Date and consequently, this could result in additional SOL shares
being issued to cover the additional funding costs and taxes not yet accrued at 30 June 2017.

5. The increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares includes the impact of the
SOL/SOLBE1 shares to be issued, as calculated in terms of IAS 33: Earnings per share, in terms of the
Sasol Khanyisa ESOP for the benefit of the Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants.

As described in note 2 above, a scenario has been presented below to illustrate the financial effects
pertaining to the following:

- 100% of the SOLBE1 shareholders make the Election; and

- 100% of the Black Persons who are Sasol Inzalo employee trust participants elect not to acquire
vested rights in SOL shares and instead acquire vested rights in SOLBE1 shares.

However, the pro forma financial effects do not consider the impact of the shares to be issued pursuant
to the Automatic Share Exchange as this cannot currently be reliably estimated. This increase in the
weighted average number of diluted shares is dependent on the SOLBE1 share price, and its relative
net fair value to a SSA share, which considers the underlying funding (FundCo preference share
funding and ESOP notional vendor funding), at the date of the termination of the Sasol Khanyisa
Transaction. At each reporting date, the diluted earnings per share impact will be determined by
calculating the number of SOLBE1 shares which would be issued for no consideration. This will be
based on the difference between the average SOLBE1 share price for the reporting period, and the
unexpensed share-based payment charge at the reporting date.

The following table provides the illustrative financial effects of the potential issues of SOLBE1 shares,
on basic earnings per share, headline earnings per share, weighted average number of shares in
issue, diluted earnings per share, diluted headline earning per share, weighted average number of
diluted shares in issue, net asset value per share and net tangible asset value per share, should the
assumptions applied above be increased to 100%.
