Sasol may, in this presentation, make certain statements that are not historical facts and relate 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 and cost reductions. Words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”, “seek”, “will”, “plan”, “could”, “may”, “endeavour” and “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive 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, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors are discussed more fully in our most recent annual report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 20-F filed on 29 September 2014 and in other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The list of factors discussed therein is not exhaustive; when relying 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 as of the
date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise

Sasol engaged Louisiana-based firm CSRS to perform a comprehensive regional impact
analysis to identify the short-term and long-term community impacts of planned capital
expansions in the five-parish area. CSRS defined anticipated impacts of the area’s planned
capital investments and recommended actions local communities can take to address them.

individuals choose a career, acquire training, certifications and basic life skills, prepare a
resume and ultimately land a job in support of area industry. The initiative targets the
estimated 20 percent of the Southwest Louisiana unemployed and undereducated population
who might otherwise be left out of the workforce development pipeline.

SLCUC Advance Funding
Education & Workforce Development
The Southwest Louisiana Construction Users Council is a forum through which contractors,
engineering firms and local owners or users of construction and maintenance services
address local contract labor needs. In preparing for the high growth expected in the area, the
SLCUC identified a need for advance funding to provide pre-training for the local construction
craft workforce. Sasol pre-paid $635,000 of its SLCUC fees for construction craft training and
associated costs.
