More than 25% of the votes exercised by shareholders, voted against the Company’s
Implementation Report of the Remuneration Policy at the annual general meeting. In terms
of the recommendations of the King IV™ Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa,
2016 and paragraph 3.84(k) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, the Sasol
Remuneration Committee (the Committee), on behalf of the Board, will engage with
shareholders to better understand the reasons why they voted against the non-binding
advisory endorsement, to enable the Committee to consider these concerns.

Accordingly, any shareholder that voted against the non-binding advisory endorsement and
who would prefer to engage further with the Company, is requested to write to Feroza
Syed, Chief Investor Relations Officer via email to investor.relations@sasol.com by close
of business 10 January 2020, setting out any reason for voting against the non-binding
advisory endorsement, and indicating whether such shareholder would be interested in
participating in further engagement. The Company will determine the format of such
engagement once it has a better understanding from shareholders as to the reasons for
their dissenting vote.
