Sasol announces further hedging in respect of its exposure to the oil price
On 7 May 2004, Sasol announced that it had executed certain hedging transactions
in respect of its exposure to the oil price in order to improve the stability of
cash flows. In particular, given the opportunity to hedge an element of Sasol
Synfuels' income at relatively high oil prices, Sasol sold forward an amount of
30 000 barrels a day (equivalent to approximately 20% of Synfuels' production)
for financial year 2004/05. Sasol now announces that a further 15 000 barrels a
day for 2004/05 has been sold forward. The total hedging activity to date
therefore amounts to 45 000 barrels a day (equivalent to approximately 30% of Synfuels' production) for financial year 2004/05 at a weighted average Brent crude oil price of US$33,12. Appropriate disclosure of oil hedging will be made in our 2004 annual report and Form 20-
F. Sasol does not envisage extending its oil hedging for the current financial year 2004/05 and will next review its position and hedging needs in 2005 ahead of its 2005/06 financial year.
