On December 3, 2012, Sasol announced that we will proceed with front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase for the integrated, 96000bbl/d gas-to-liquids (GTL) facility and world-scale ethane cracker with downstream derivatives at the Lake Charles Chemical Complex. At a media conference with Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal, Sasol’s chief executive officer, David Constable, said “Sasol is proud to be driving forward with the next phase of the strategic mega-projects that we have announced today. Through our innovative energy and chemicals technologies, we will provide the United States with world-class, cleaner-burning fuel, contribute to the country’s energy security, boost downstream manufacturing capacity, and diversify the utilization of domestic gas resources.” Governor Jindal said, “Today is a great day for Westlake, Calcasieu Parish and our entire state. Today’s announcement is not only one of the most exciting announcements in the history of Southwest Louisiana, but one of the most significant economic development wins our state – and our nation – has ever recorded. Sasol is one of many energy companies that is expanding in Louisiana because of our world class energy infrastructure, strong business climate, and incomparable workforce. This project will be the largest single manufacturing investment in the history of Louisiana and it also represents one of the largest foreign direct investment manufacturing projects in the history of the entire United States. Despite a national economic downturn, this historic economic development win is happening in Louisiana because we have been laser focused on job creation by creating an environment where businesses want to invest and create jobs for our people.” The GTL facility, the first of its kind in the U.S, will produce four million tons per annum (mtpa), or 96000bbl/d of high quality transportation fuel, including GTL diesel and other value-adding chemical products. Current project costs for the GTL facility are estimated between US$11 billion and US$14 billion. The GTL project will be delivered in two phases, with each phase comprising 48000bbl/d. The first phase is planned to come into operation in the 2018 calendar year and the second phase the following calendar year. The world-scale ethane cracker will allow Sasol to expand its

differentiated ethylene derivatives business in the U.S. The cracker will also benefit from the current low U.S. natural gas prices and the abundance of ethane. Current cracker project costs are estimated between US$5 billion and US$7 billion. Sasol expects beneficial operation to be achieved during the 2017 calendar year. It will produce an estimated 1,5 mtpa of ethylene with downstream derivative plants. Sasol also has a differentiated portfolio of ethylene-based technologies that will enable it to meet growing demand for high value-add chemicals. The integrated GTL and ethane cracker projects will, together, create a minimum of 1200 permanent positions, 7000 construction jobs at peak and thousands of indirect jobs both in Louisiana and in the rest of the U.S.

Q&A on the GTL & Ethane Cracker AnnouncementsQ. How long will it take to build these facilities? A. While the construction schedule will be developed during front-end engineering and design (FEED) these facilities typically take approximately three to five years to construct after the final investment decision, which is typical for projects of this size.While the timing of the final investment decision will impact the final operational dates of the GTL facility, it is anticipated the first phase will come online in the 2018 calendar year and the second phase the following calendar year. Based on the timing of the final investment decision, we expect beneficial operation of the cracker to be achieved during the 2017 calendar year.Q. How many jobs will a Cracker and GTL facility create?A. A four million tons per annum GTL facility and a world-scale cracker facility could cumulatively expected to provide:Approximately 7000 construction site jobs at peak construction, with the construction phase spanning approximately five years. The exact number of construction jobs will also depend on the final contracting strategy that will be followed. It is anticipated that a minimum of 1200 permanent, full-time jobs will be created at the Lake Charles integrated GTL and cracker complex. It is furthermore expected that thousands of indirect jobs will be created as result in Louisiana and the U.S. generally.

Q. What types of jobs will be available?A. Job opportunities will be similar as those with any large industrial complex. Possible positions include: engineers, chemists, process operators, laboratory analysts, machinists, electricians, instrumentation technicians and many other support positions such as accountants, safety and environmental professionals and more.Q. What are the requirements for these jobs?A. Requirements are different for each position, but generally the professional positions require bachelor’s degrees as a minimum and the technical positions require associate’s degrees or certifications. Experience is preferred, but may or may not be required based on the level of the position.Q. How do people get more information about the positions and how to apply?A. Interested applicants should visit the www.sasolnorthamerica.com website and click on the “career opportunities” link at the bottom of the home page.Q. Does Sasol have the capacity for these large projects?A.

INNoVATIoN TEAM oF THE YEAR Ultra High Purity Alumina Team (UHPA), Sasol o&SUse of energy-efficient alternatives to incandescent lights is growing rapidly, particularly for LEDs, which are manufactured using a substrate of sapphire made from UHPA. Sasol O&S’ participation in this market was capped by the Tucson plant’s limitations. After an intensive research and test phase, the team successfully developed a new process to be able to produce UHPA at existing O&S high-purity alumina facilities in Brunsbüttel. The increased demand in the LED market can be met with UHPA from our alumina on-purpose facilities in Brunsbüttel by combining it with a reactor to ensure the high-purity of the product. MD AWARD James Boudreaux, SHE Lake Charles James is the full-time facilitator of OTTER, the Lake Charles Behavioral Based Safety process. He has been the catalyst in igniting a renewed passion for employee-led safety involvement through his effective leadership style, and employee participation has grown from 10% to almost 50% in three years. The number of observations has risen from 180 to 470 per month. The OTTER process played a substantial role at the Lake Charles site achieving an RCR of 0 for both service providers and Sasol employees for the first time ever.

Sasol o&S Awards 2012

Special Surprise for a Special Lunch Buddy Tony Courville (Chemist) has been actively involved with the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Lunch Buddy program. Three years ago he was connected with his Little Brother (”Little”) and since then joins him for lunch once a month at his elementary school. During this time, the two have become friends and learned a lot about each other. Tony realized very quickly that his “Little” is a huge football fan. Recently, Tony and his wife, Alicia, who is a McNeese State University Professor, arranged for some football players in her class to come and have lunch with Tony’s “Little”. When asked about his Lunch Buddy experience, Tony said, “I have seen a positive change in my “Little” from when we started and I enjoy seeing the smile on his face when we have lunch. He is doing the right things and headed in the right direction.” And because of his commitment and genuine compassion for his “Little”, Tony Courville has been named the 2012 Lunch Buddy of the Year by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Louisiana! A BBBS representative Amy Rogers said, “Tony has gone above and beyond to make his ‘Little’s’ life better each time he meets with him. He is consistent, reliable, dependable, creative, committed, a friend to the school, and a phenomenal mentor and role model. He is more than just a positive influence in the life of his ‘Little’; he is a true and genuine friend.” Congratulations, Tony, and thank you for being such a positive representative of Sasol North America!
