EUROPEAN COURT SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCES THE FINE IMPOSED ON SASOL
FOR ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THE EUROPEAN PARAFFIN WAX CARTEL
FOR ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THE EUROPEAN PARAFFIN WAX CARTEL
In October 2008, the European Commission imposed a fine of
EUR 318.2 million on Sasol Wax GmbH and other Sasol group
companies, including Sasol Limited (“Sasol”) for Sasol Wax’s
involvement in the European paraffin wax cartel. The fine was
paid in full by Sasol in January 2009. Sasol viewed the fine
as excessive and, in December 2008, applied to the European
General Court in Luxemburg for a reduction of the fine. Today,
the European General Court reduced the fine by an amount of
EUR 168.22 million to EUR 149.98 million. The European
Commission has the right to appeal the decision.

In 1995, Sasol became a co-shareholder in an existing wax
business located in Hamburg, Germany, owned by the Schümann
group. In July 2002, Sasol acquired the remaining shares in
the joint venture and became the sole shareholder of the
business. Sasol was unaware of any cartel activities, before
the European Commission commenced its investigation into the
European paraffin wax industry in April 2005.

Sasol will account for this as a post balance sheet adjusting

in Sasol’s FY14 income statement.
