review The following statement was made by the Company at the
annual general meeting: During the course of the past year the
Company has made several announcements with respect to competition
law matters including the review of Sasol and its subsidiaries'
("the Sasol Group") competition law compliance. The board of
directors of Sasol ("the Board") regrets instances of collusion
that occurred in the Sasol Wax GmbH and Sasol Nitro businesses and
endorses executive management's unequivocal apology to all
stakeholders. Legal compliance in general and competition law
compliance specifically remain a priority focus area of Sasol's
executive management and the Board. Sasol announced on 19 January
2009 that Sasol's executive management team had, in July 2008,
launched a comprehensive competition law compliance review of all
Sasol business units. It was further announced that the Board, on
recommendation of Sasol's executive management, was also launching
its own independent competition law compliance review ("Board
Review"). The Board Review has now been completed and the Board has
mandated executive group management to further enhance Sasol's
competition law compliance processes and systems. The Board
supports the remedial steps being taken and, further, believes that
the implementation of these measures will augment the competition
law compliance processes of the Sasol Group. There are matters that
remain subject to investigation. As previously announced the South
African Competition Commission has initiated investigations in
respect of some of the industries in which Sasol participates. As
and when appropriate, management will make further announcements in
respect of material matters. Sasol Investor Relations Tel.: +27 11
