(“Sasol”)
Amendment of Settlement Agreement with Competition Commission
Since the previously announced Settlement Agreement was concluded
with the Competition Commission (“the Commission”) in respect of
competition law contraventions in the fertilizer and phosphoric
acid businesses of Sasol Nitro, Sasol has continued its internal
investigations. It is only now after intensive repeat interviews
with employees and former employees that additional new
information relevant to one of the previously announced
contraventions in the fertilizer business has been uncovered.
Sasol tendered the information to the Commission as soon as it
was verified, in line with its commitment to co-operate with the
Commission.
In view of the new information Sasol tendered an amendment to the
Settlement Agreement to expand the scope of the admissions that
Sasol made in respect of the anti-competitive conduct in the
fertilizer industry. The Commission agreed to the amendments, but
indicated that the amendment would require an increase in the
administrative fine that Sasol agrees to pay in terms of the
settlement agreement from R188,01 million to R250,68 million. The
information changed the Commission’s view of the nature and
seriousness of one of the matters covered by the settlement
agreement. The Settlement Agreement was amended yesterday to
reflect these changes and submitted to the Competition Tribunal
for confirmation. The application for confirmation of the
Settlement Agreement will be heard by the Competition Tribunal
tomorrow, Wednesday 20 May 2009.

Disclaimer - Forward looking statements
In this announcement we 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 7 October
2008 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.
