HEDGING UPDATE


PRODUCTION AND SALES METRICS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Sasol has published its production and sales performance metrics for the nine months ended 31
March 2022 on the Company´s website at www.sasol.com, under the Investor Centre section:
https://www.sasol.com/investor-centre/financial-reporting/business-performance-metrics

Sasol is continuing to manage the consequences of the heavy rainfall and accompanying floods
experienced in KwaZulu-Natal and assess the impact on the business. We are supporting our
employees and communities during this challenging period. The situation has resulted in a force
majeure declaration on the export of certain chemical products and our Q4 FY22 volume
outlook could be impacted subject to the extent of infrastructure damage and the timing of the
recovery and restoration of key infrastructure and utilities.

We will update the market of any material impacts in due course.


OIL HEDGING UPDATE

Sasol has made significant progress in deleveraging its balance sheet through a combination of
asset divestments, operational actions and now more supportive pricing. Despite this
improvement, leverage remained above target levels at 31 December 2021 along with ongoing
volatility and unprecedented uncertainty about the macro outlook.

On this basis the hedging programme has been kept in place to mitigate downside pricing risks
and ensure that Sasol can execute its strategy with confidence. Given Sasol’s improved financial
position the oil hedge cover ratio for financial year 2023 was reduced to ~40% compared to the
~69% in financial year 2022. This includes of 80% of total Synfuels synthetic crude oil production
and 90% of Sasol’s share of Oryx production.

On the back of the recent increase in oil prices as a result of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, Sasol
has progressed the implementation of the financial year 2023 hedging strategy and has now
executed 85% of the oil hedging mandate. This uses zero costs collars to provide downside
protection below ~ US$63,03 per barrel together with a higher cap of ~ US$91,62 per barrel.

In line with Sasol’s risk management policy, as the balance sheet continues to deleverage and so
is able to absorb more downside risk the hedge cover ratios are expected to decrease further.
The Company will however continue to update the market on any changes to our financial risk
management positions in our quarterly market disclosures.
