Company Celebrating Five Year Anniversary of Listing on the NYSE JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, April 9, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sasol, the leading producer of clean synthetic fuels and chemicals from natural gas and coal, will ring The Closing Bell(R) of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today at 4:00pm EDT to celebrate the five year anniversary of its listing on the world's leading and most liquid exchange. In coordination with the celebration, management from Sasol yesterday hosted an investor day in New York to present the company's strategic, operational and financial progress, as well as the steps it is taking to further strengthen its business and develop additional opportunities. Sasol hosted a similar investor day in Johannesburg, South Africa last month. North American investors have steadily recognized the attractiveness of Sasol as an investment during its five years of being listed on the NYSE and are an important source of support for the Company. Average daily volumes on the NYSE have grown from 34,000 ADRs per day at the time of the listing to 730,000 ADRs per day now. The Company's North American shareholder base was 17% before the listing and now represents 26% of the total shares outstanding. The share price has also appreciated from $10.90 the day of the listing to $52.84 at market close on April 8, 2008. Sasol is advancing its strategy and delivered on a number of its key operational objectives since listing on the NYSE in April 2003. Specifically, the Company is expanding its CTL and GTL business, growing its chemicals business based on its technology or feedstock advantages, and developing upstream opportunities. Underpinning these efforts, Sasol is poised to respond to the needs of the global energy market. Demand for transportation fuels continues to grow as global supply of oil tightens. Sasol's proven proprietary technology increases the sources of transportation fuel by unlocking the world's vast untapped reserves of coal and natural gas and converting it into clean diesel, gasoline and jet fuel. Host nations partnering with Sasol benefit from monetizing their natural resources and increasing their energy independence. Sasol's unique position as a leading international provider of synthetic fuels and chemicals is reflected by robust financial results. The total shareholder return, averaged over the last five years, has been 39% per year, and the Company is on-track for record full year earnings. Sasol also has a strong balance sheet and the funding capacity to accelerate its capital program. Commenting on the 5 year NYSE listing anniversary, Pat Davies, Chief Executive of Sasol, said, "We are delighted of the progress that Sasol has made in reinforcing our strong foundation at home and in expanding our business globally to create value for shareholders. Through our values driven leadership, style and culture, we are making significant strides to strengthen our business further and to prepare to take advantage of opportunities to deliver sustainable future growth. We would like to thank all of our stakeholders, including employees, partners, host governments, customers and investors, for their continuing support to our efforts."
