Competition Tribunal confirms the settlement agreement

between Sasol Nitro and Competition Commission
Sasol Limited

Competition Tribunal confirms the settlement agreement between
Sasol Nitro and Competition Commission
Subsequent to the confirmation hearing held on 14 July 2010, the
Competition Tribunal today confirmed the settlement agreement
between the Competition Commission of South Africa and Sasol
Nitro, a division of Sasol Chemical Industries Limited, relating
to allegations of abuse of dominance in its fertiliser
businesses.
In terms of the confirmed settlement Sasol Nitro will restructure
its fertiliser business as outlined in the announcement of the
settlement agreement of 5 July 2010. No finding was made relating
to abuse of dominance and accordingly no administrative penalty
was sought. Nevertheless, Sasol believes the restructuring will
address the Commission’s concerns regarding its position within
the nitrogen based fertiliser value chain.
Sasol Nitro will withdraw from certain downstream activities with
increased focus on the core activities of its fertiliser
business.
The confirmed settlement agreement has the effect of a full and
final settlement of the alleged contraventions of excessive
pricing and exclusionary practices, which are the subject of the
Nutri-Flo and Profert referrals.
“This settlement agreement will bring about significant changes
within Sasol Nitro and is likely to further enhance competition
in the downstream fertiliser market while introducing more
downstream players”, Marius Brand, managing director of Sasol
Nitro, said.
“Work has already begun to enable the delivery of these
undertakings in a structured and orderly manner and, in the
interest of our business, our people and our customers, we will
work to deliver these undertakings in a timely and responsible
manner”, Brand said.
The confirmed settlement agreement, together with the changes to
the Sasol Nitro business, will not have a material adverse
financial impact on the Sasol Group.
