OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR SOUTH AFRICA AND LAKE CHARLES

SOUTH AFRICA

Employees of South Africa’s railway company, Transnet SOC Ltd (“Transnet”), and its affiliates
embarked on a wage related strike on 6 October 2022. Sasol subsequently received a notice of
force majeure from Transnet, which impacts the movement of certain feedstocks and products
between our inland operations and the Durban and Richards Bay ports.

As a result, Sasol has declared force majeure on the local supply and export of certain chemical
products. Production rates at selected plants in Secunda and Sasolburg have been impacted.
The Natref refinery continues to operate as no disruption was caused to Transnet’s pipelines.

Negotiations between Transnet and the majority trade union concluded on 17 October 2022.
Port and rail activities have commenced, with the discharge of containers from ships in the
harbor prioritised. We are unable to quantify the impact on our South African value chains, as
the extent and timing to clear the backlogs across the port and rail system remain uncertain.

LAKE CHARLES

On 15 October 2022, a fire occurred at the new Ziegler alcohol unit at the Lake Charles Chemicals
Complex. Our on-site emergency response team responded swiftly, and the fire was contained
with no injuries reported. The investigation is underway to determine the cause, extent of the
damage, and the scope and timeline of repair.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide further updates, as appropriate.
