Contingent liabilities Litigation

Abuse of dominance Investigation - Sasol South Africa (Ply) Ltd (then Sasol Chemical Industries (Ply) Ltd (SCI) and Sasol Synfuels (Ply) Ltd), Sasol Oil (Pty) Ltd and Sasol Limited

In November 2011, Safripol (Ply) Ltd (Safripol) initiated a complaint with the Commission against SCI. In the complaint, Safripol alleged that SCI had contravened various sections of the Competition Act with regard to pricing and supply of propylene and ethylene. Safripol subsequently withdrew the complaint. However, the Commission elected to continue with its investigation into the matter. The Commission alleges that Sasol engaged in the following conduct:

-Excessive pricing of propylene and ethylene required by Safripol; -Constructive refusal to supply scarce goods (namely propylene and ethylene); -Margin squeezing in respect of the supply of propylene and polypropylene; and -Price discrimination in relation to the sale of propylene and ethylene.

The Commission stated that as the alleged conduct relates to pricing of inputs and may be linked with the pricing and supply of feedstock propylene and ethylene, their investigation extends to Sasol Limited, Sasol Oil, Sasol Synfuels and then SCI. The period under investigation is from 2008 to date. On 22 December 2014, the Commission issued summons against employees of SCI, Synfuels, Sasol Oil and Sasol Limited whereby the Commission sought copies of documents and information from the employees. The responses in respect of all four summonses were submitted to the Commission on 31 March 2015. The Commission has made subsequent requests for information and Sasol continues to submit the required information to the authorities and to engage with the Commission in this regard. The outcome of this matter cannot be estimated at this point in time and accordingly, no provision was recognised at 30 June 2016.

Construction disputes - Fischer Tropsch Wax Expansion Project in Sasol burg (FTWEP)

After the conclusion of construction of FTWEP at the Sasol One site in Sasolburg, a number of contractual claims have been instituted by some contractors

who were involved in the construction and project management relating to this project. Certain of these claims have already been resolved, either through

settlement between the parties or through the contractual dispute resolution process. Two larger matters are still ongoing. The claimants are Fluor SA (Ply)

ltd and Wetback Contracts (Pty) Ltd.

Fluor SA (Ply) Ltd - FTWEP

Fluor claimed an additional amount of R485,7 million, plus interest (R83,6 million up to May 2015). This dispute turns on the nature and quantification of Fluor's alleged entitlement to a change to the prices and completion dates for delayed access. In June 2015, Fluor referred the claim to adjudication. In September 2015 the adjudicator rejected Fluor's entire claim. Thereafter, Fluor notified Sasol of its dissatisfaction with the outcome of the adjudication and Fluor's intention to refer the matter to arbitration. The parties are engaging in relation to the appointment of an arbitrator in terms of the dispute resolution provi'3ionc; of the contrnd. Sa'3ol be!iJ:>v1:1s that F!uor's d8im i'3 not juc;tifil:!d. Ar/'.ordlng!y, no provic;ion was re�ogriis�rl at 30 .J1m1:1 2016.

Wetback Contracts (Ply) Ltd - FTWEP

Wetback instituted a claim of R634,2 million for additional compensation. Sasol submitted three counterclaims with an aggregate value of R229,2 million. The matter has been referred to arbitration. The hearing of this dispute commenced on 9 May 2016. During the first two weeks of the hearing, Sasol successfully applied for the separation of certain key issues relating to the interpretation of the contract to be decided before the remainder of the merits of the matter can be heard. This successful separation of issues dictates the framework within which the matter will proceed and is expected to curtail the extent of the arbitration hearing. During May 2016, the Arbitrator issued a directive on certain of the separated issues. His directive supported the Sasol position on these issues.

Subsequently, Wetback has referred its claim for Arbitration. Wetback commenced with their case during the arbitration hearing that took place from 5 to 14 December 2016. Further evidence was lead by Wetback during the hearing in February 2017. Sasol commenced with presenting its case during the further hearings in February and March 2017.The next hearings on the matter have been set down for the last week of May 2017 and the first week of June 2017. After conclusion of all the evidence, the Independent Expert appointed by the Arbitrator has to present his report. Once that is completed, the final hearing will be scheduled for closing arguments whereafter the arbitrator will issue the final decision in the matter.

Sasol believes that Wetback's claim is not justified. Accordingly, no provision was recognised at 30 June 2016.

Other From time to time, Sasol South Africa (Ply) Ltd companies are involved in other litigation, tax and similar proceedings in the normal course of business. A detailed assessment is performed on each matter and a provision is recognised where appropriate. Although the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the company does not believe that the outcome of any of these cases would have a material effect on the group's financial results.
