Sasol Limited group
Remuneration report
Remuneration report 2015
Dear shareholder
The Remuneration Committee (“the committee”)’s key objectives are to ensure that remuneration is competitive, globally applicable and sustainable. It has to stimulate a performance-driven culture over the short-term and long-term and align with shareholders’ interests. The policy should furthermore not be overly complex and should be transparent and easy to maintain.
The Committee again consulted various stakeholders on the features of Sasol’s remuneration policy. This input has been taken into account in designing a number of changes to our policy of which some will take effect from FY16. The committee, acting on behalf of the Sasol Limited Board, is of the view that the Sasol remuneration policy encapsulates a balanced package of reward practices which compares favourably with competitors, supports our employee value proposition and enables management to attract and retain the best talent to achieve our business goals and aspirations.
In this report, we present you with our remuneration policy as it applied to FY15, and report on remuneration outcomes for this year. In the table below we highlight some important policy changes as they were applied during FY15 together with the enhancements for FY16.

Introduction
With the aim of enhancing transparency, this remuneration report is split into three sections covering the following matters:
1. Remuneration governance and the role of the committee
2. Sasol’s remuneration policy for FY15, including planned FY16 changes
3. Remuneration outcomes for FY15
The annexure following the remuneration report provides more detail on termination arrangements for prescribed officers.
Section 1: Remuneration governance
1.1 Overview
The committee’s role is to ensure remuneration arrangements support the strategic objectives of the group and enable the recruitment, motivation and retention of executives and employees at all levels, while complying with all requirements of law and regulation. The committee is mandated by the board to oversee all aspects of remuneration in accordance with the approved terms of reference. The terms of reference of the committee are reviewed annually by the board and are available on the company’s website at www.sasol.com. Reports of the committee meetings are presented to the board. Annually, a self-assessment of the effectiveness of the committee is undertaken.
The members of the committee for the year under review were:
· Mr HG Dijkgraaf (Chairman)
· Dr MSV Gantsho
· Ms IN Mkhize
· Mr PJ Robertson
· Prof JE Schrempp
The committee met four times during the year. Attendance is reported in the corporate governance report.
Sasol complies with the relevant remuneration governance codes and statutes that apply in the various jurisdictions within which it operates. As in previous years, all remuneration principles and practices stated in the King Code of Governance Principles for South Africa 2009 (King III Code) are applied, with the exception of one practice relating to the non-executive directors’ fee structure, which is explained in section 3.2.
1.2 Independent external advisors
The committee has continued to use independent external advisors from New Bridge Street, based in London, United Kingdom. New Bridge Street is a signatory to the UK Remuneration Consultants’ Code of Conduct. Vasdex Associates provides advice and services as requested by management and the company regularly participates in several external remuneration surveys globally, to inform benchmarking exercises.
1.3 Key definitions
For clarity, the following terms are used in this report in respect of the FY15 organisational structure:
· The term group executive committee (GEC) refers to the members of the executive committee, who are responsible for the design and execution of the organisation’s strategy and long-term business plans. All members of the GEC report to the President and CEO and are viewed as prescribed officers within the meaning of the Companies Act, no 71 of 2008, as amended (the Act). Members of the GEC are also referred to as Executive Vice Presidents (EVPs) and include the executive directors as well as the President and Chief Executive Officer (10);
· Group Leadership is defined as the level below the GEC (Senior Vice Presidents or SVPs) (35);
· Leadership is defined as the level below Group Leadership (Vice Presidents or VPs) (151); and
· Senior management is defined as the level below Leadership
1.4 Executive service contracts
The President and CEO is employed on a five year contract that commenced 1 June 2011 and will terminate on 30 June 2016, when he will retire from the group but continue to serve in an advisory capacity for a further 12 months. His service agreement is governed by Sasol’s policy for expatriate remuneration. Following an amendment to the company’s memorandum of incorporation, the term of the President and CEO is no longer specified.
Prescribed officers have permanent employment contracts with notice periods of up to three months. The contracts provide for salary and benefits to be offered to the executives as well as participation in incentive plans on the basis of performance and as approved by the board. GEC members are required to retire from the group and as directors from the board at the age of 60, unless requested by the board to extend their term.
1.5 Risk management
The following risk-mitigating controls form part of the remuneration policy:
Mix of remuneration elements
The committee determines each component of remuneration, both separately and in totality, and ensures that the components provide for a balanced pay mix driven by sustainable business performance. The incentive plans are designed such that a balance is obtained between retention and performance over the business development and performance cycle.
Mix of performance measures
A range of financial and non-financial measures is used in the incentive plans, assessed at Group, Business and Individual level, to ensure that performance related rewards are conditional upon achievement of a mix of measures. They aim to align with the interests of shareholders and reward for the achievement of targets that are set in conjunction with short-term and long-term business plans.
Other controls
The caps on the maximum pay-out under the short-term incentive plan mitigate against unintended and inappropriate rewards. The board has given the committee the discretion to approve the payments under all incentive plans. The Sasol Share Option Scheme terminates in December 2015; no further awards under the Sasol Share Appreciation Rights have been made since September 2012.
Sasol Clawback Policy
Clawbacks may be implemented by the board for:
· any material misstatement of financial statements or where performance related to non-financial targets has been misrepresented and such misstatement has led to the overpayment of incentives to executives;
· errors made in the calculation of any performance condition whether financial or non-financial and which resulted in an overpayment; and
· gross misconduct on the part of the employee leading to dismissal (where, had the gross misconduct been known prior to the incentive/incentive gains being paid, it would have resulted in the payment not being made).
Section 2: Remuneration Policy
2.1 Overarching principles of the remuneration policy
The committee annually reviews the remuneration policy to ensure that:
· it remains effective in supporting the achievement of the group’s business objectives;
· it is competitive and in line with best practices globally;
· it results in fair and equitable rewards for employees in relation to their contribution to the business, and
· it carries the support of our stakeholders.
The committee has discretion to alter rewards offered in terms of the policy but will only do so in exceptional cases and will disclose such changes or deviations from policy. Ongoing engagement with stakeholders providing feedback on our policy is taken into consideration by the committee when the policy is reviewed.
Sasol’s remuneration policy strives to reward corporate and individual performance through an appropriate balance of fixed pay, short-term and long-term variable pay components. The committee considers the targets set for the different elements of performance related remuneration to ensure that these are both appropriate and demanding in the context of the business environment as well as complying with the provisions of appropriate governance codes and statutes.

2.3 Total remuneration
2.3.1 Benchmarking
Executive remuneration is benchmarked against data provided in national executive remuneration surveys, as well as against information disclosed in the remuneration reports of organisations included in our benchmarking peer group. One of the committee’s key tasks is to preserve the relevance, integrity and consistency of this benchmarking exercise. For positions below the GEC, survey reports from PwC Remchannel and Mercer Global Remuneration Solutions are used for benchmarking of South African remuneration levels; survey data from the Hay Group, ECA, Mercer and Towers Watson are used in different locations in the international environment.
For the period FY10-FY15, the same peer group was used for purposes of benchmarking executive remuneration practices. As indicated in the introduction, the peer group used for executive remuneration benchmarking purposes will be changed from FY16 and include companies with more similar market capitalisation and business models.
The ratios within the remuneration mix are structured for different structural layers within the organisation and geographic locations. The relative proportion of the remuneration components of the GEC within the approved remuneration mix is set out in the following charts:
Executive pay mix on target and maximum:
* Total guaranteed package (TGP) is used in South Africa and equates to total cost of base salary and fixed allowances plus employer contributions to benefit funds.
The charts indicate a balanced portfolio of rewards allocated in terms of base salary/TGP, short-term and long-term incentives, tied to the achievement of group and individual targets set over the short and long term to ensure sustainable focus on the group’s strategic objectives. The pay mix remains unchanged for FY16.
2.3.2 Total guaranteed package/base salary and benefits
South African employees who are not covered by collective bargaining agreements, receive a total guaranteed package (TGP) which includes employer contributions towards retirement, risk, death and health care benefits. The concept of TGP was introduced in 2008 for supervisory levels and above and in terms of this model, all changes to benefit contribution levels are cost neutral to the employer. All increases in the benefit pricing of employee and employer contributions reduce the net cash salary of employees.
Annual increases to TGP are determined with reference to the scope and nature of an employee’s role, market benchmarks, individual performance, affordability and projected consumer price index figures. Annual increases for all employees outside of the collective bargaining councils take effect from 1 October. An overall annual increase of 6,3% was approved by the committee, effective 1 October 2014, for all employees outside the respective collective bargaining councils in South Africa. South African employees included in collective agreements received increases varying between 7,25% and 8,5%, for the period 1 July 2014 — 30 June 2015. This is the 6th consecutive year that increases awarded to management are lower than what was agreed through collective bargaining forums for unionised employees. In FY15, increases awarded were in line with anticipated movements in remuneration in the international jurisdictions and in accordance with individual performance. Similar basic benefits such as retirement and health care are offered to all permanent employees globally.
For FY16, due to the Business Performance Enhancement Programme, a partial salary freeze has been introduced; employees in executive, management, supervisory and specialist roles will not receive annual TGP or base salary increases in October 2015, typically when annual increases are awarded. Increase settlements have been agreed to for unionised employees in all sectors that we operate in.
2.3.3 Short-term incentives
The short-term incentive (STI) plan is designed to recognise the achievement of a combination of group and business unit entity or group functional performance objectives in addition to individual performance. The configuration and weightings attached to the different parts of the STI formula differs to the extent that employees can influence the achievement of performance objectives either directly or indirectly.
STI — members of the GEC
The following formula is used to calculate the STI amounts payable to the GEC:
STI target awards remained unchanged namely:
Role |
| Target incentive |
|

The STI group measures were reviewed to reduce the weighting linked to the Earnings target and in favour of cost reduction targets. The Earnings target changed from growth in EBITDA to growth in Headline Earnings.
The group targets applicable to the GEC, their weights and the resultant outcome of the group performance factor multiplier for FY15 are indicated in the following table.

The President and CEO’s performance is determined by the board, on recommendation of the committee and the chairman of the board. His performance is assessed against a pre-determined set of objectives that include inter alia strategic leadership, business results and stakeholder relations.
The portfolios of GEC members cover a number of business units or group functions, and large-scale projects, therefore a weighted combination of the relevant scores is included in the Individual Performance score for each GEC member. The measures that were assessed for the individual performance factors for members of the GEC included a combination of portfolio specific targets. Annual objectives for the President and CEO, are set by the Board and the final performance assessment done by the Chairman of the Board, is also confirmed by the Board.
The table below provides details of the factors and the final determination of annual STI award for FY15. The final Individual Performance Factors (IPFs) are disclosed in a range.

(1) Net USD salary used to calculate net USD short-term incentive.
(2) Mr B Nqwababa was appointed as Chief Financial Officer with effect from 1 March 2015 replacing Mr P Victor as Acting CFO; both are eligible for a pro rata STI.
(3) Mr E Oberholster retired from the group effective 31 March 2015 and is eligible for a pro rata STI.
The committee made no changes to formulaic incentive calculations.
STI — four levels below GEC
The following formula is used to calculate these STI amounts:
The group performance targets for the four levels below the GEC are growth in volume, cash fixed costs and headline earnings respectively. Safety, employment equity, project deliverables and specific business entity or group functional targets make up the BU entity/Group Functional STI scorecard. Each business unit and group functional STI score is verified by internal audit. For FY15, BU/Group Functional scores varied between 65% and 98%.
The IPF (0% – 150%) and the group performance factor (50% – 150% or 80% –120%; depending on role) are applied down to four levels below the GEC. Application of the IPF is conducted using a normal distribution to ensure that its implementation does not increase the total incentive pool made available for payment.
The group performance factors for the layers below were 125,20% (FY14:144,71%) and 110,08% respectively.
Long-term incentive plans
Governance over the long-term incentive (LTI) plans is provided by the committee. The committee approves grants in the following circumstances:
· upon promotion of an employee to a qualifying role;
· upon appointment to the group in a qualifying role;
· an annual award to eligible employees; and
· discretionary awards for purposes of retention.
LTI awards give participating employees the opportunity, subject to the vesting conditions, to receive a future cash incentive payment calculated with reference to the market value of a Sasol ordinary share (or ADR for international employees), subject to the vesting conditions. The plan does not confer any right to acquire shares in Sasol Limited and for awards made up to August 2014, employees are not entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents. Awards made from September 2014 onwards will receive the benefit of dividend equivalents on vested units only.
Termination conditions include:
· for reasons of death, disability, retirement or retrenchment vesting is subject to the probability assessment of achieving the corporate performance targets as well as the period in service over the vesting period; and
· for all other reasons, unvested rights are forfeited.
The accelerated vesting principles stated above will no longer apply to executives who receive awards from 1 July 2015 onwards, as normal vesting periods and conditions will remain intact even after service termination under ‘good leaver’ status. A service penalty will apply.
The following table sets out the policy target values of annual LTI awards made to prescribed officers in FY15 as a multiple of actual base salary/TGP. Actual awards may vary in terms of performance or other relevant factors.

The next table summarises the weightings and corporate performance targets under which the LTI awards were granted during FY15. Vesting is considered in terms of the weighted performance measured against four targets. If targets are not met, the performance based LTI awards are forfeited. If targets are exceeded the number of LTI awards that vest may be increased up to the maximum of the award. There is no opportunity for retesting of targets.

Share appreciation rights (SARs) (no awards made in FY15)
SARs gave participating employees the opportunity, subject to the vesting conditions, to receive a future cash incentive payment calculated with reference to the increase in the market value of a Sasol ordinary share from the date of grant, after the three, four and five year vesting periods respectively (up to FY12 over two, four and six years). The plan does not confer any rights to acquire shares in Sasol Limited and employees are not entitled to dividends (or dividend equivalents). The maximum period for exercising SARs is nine years from the date of the grant after which they lapse.
Vesting of previously awarded SARs is considered in terms of the weighted performance measured against targets. If targets are not met, the performance based SAR awards are forfeited, and if targets are exceeded, additional SARs are awarded. There is no opportunity for retesting of targets.
A summary of outstanding SAR allocations’ vesting percentages are presented in the table below:

Sasol Share Incentive Scheme
The SAR plan replaced the previous Sasol Share Incentive Scheme, which has been closed since 2007. The Sasol Share Incentive Scheme will be closed in December 2015. See note 47.1 of the annual financial statements for the options which remain exercisable under the Sasol Share Incentive Scheme.
Sasol Inzalo Management Scheme
Sasol implemented the Sasol Inzalo black economic empowerment (BEE) transaction in 2008. As part of this transaction, senior black management (black managers), including black Executive Directors and members of the GEC, participated in the Sasol Inzalo Management Scheme and were awarded rights to Sasol ordinary shares. The rights entitle the employees from the inception of the scheme to receive dividends bi-annually and Sasol ordinary shares at the end of ten years, being the tenure of the transaction, subject to Sasol’s right to repurchase some of the shares issued to The Sasol Inzalo Management Trust (Management Trust) in accordance with a pre-determined repurchase formula. The formula takes into account the underlying value of the shares on 18 March 2008, the dividends not received by the Management Trust as a result of the pre-conditions attached to those shares and the price of Sasol ordinary shares at the end of the ten year period.
On retirement at normal retirement age, early retirement, retrenchment due to operational requirements or on leaving the employ of Sasol due to ill health during the tenure of the Sasol Inzalo transaction, the black managers (as defined in the Deed of Trust for The Sasol Inzalo Management Trust) will retain their entire allocation of rights until the end of the ten year period, subject to Sasol’s repurchase right referred to above. The nominated beneficiaries or heirs of those black managers, who die at any time during the transaction period, will succeed to their entire allocation of rights. On resignation within the first three years of having been granted these rights, all rights were forfeited. On resignation after three years or more from being granted the rights, the black managers forfeit 10% of their rights for each full year or part thereof remaining from the date of resignation until the end of the transaction period. Black managers leaving the employment of Sasol during the 10 year period by reason of dismissal, or for reasons other than operational requirements, will forfeit their rights to Sasol ordinary shares.
See note 47 of the annual financial statements for the outstanding rights under the Sasol Share Inzalo Management Scheme.
Share ownership guideline
The share ownership guideline which became effective on 1 July 2014 requires executive directors to hold Sasol shares or ADRs with a value of 200% of annual base salary for the President and Chief Executive Officer and 100% of annual pensionable remuneration for executive directors. The requirement must be fully achieved within five years from 1 July 2014, or from the date of appointment, if after this date.
Retention and sign-on payments
The sign-on payment and retention policy may be used in the external recruitment of candidates in highly specialised or scarce skill positions mostly in senior management levels, or to retain critical skills. These payments are linked to retention agreements of at least two years .

President and Chief Executive Officer and executive directors’ remuneration
The President and Chief Executive Officer’s salary and short term incentive is paid to him on a net of tax basis in USD.
The required Rand based disclosure is impacted by the Rand: US Dollar exchange rate. In the past financial year, the rate has fluctuated between R10,51 and R12,58 which distorts the actual remuneration received. Therefore to facilitate comprehensive remuneration disclosure, the table below provides the actual year-on-year increase in net base salary and STI since 2012.

(1) Mr SR Cornell received a payment of US$100 000 linked to a deferred sign on agreement which is part of his employment contract. Payments are done in tranches upon achievement of significant milestones on the US Mega projects.
Mr SR Cornell received a sign on payment of US$750 000 linked to a retention period of 36 months, from February 2014, partially compensating him for incentives and benefits forfeited when he resigned from his previous employer. This amount reflects the portion related to his period in service for the financial year (US$750 000*12/36).
3.2 Non-executive directors
Non-executive directors are appointed to the Sasol Limited board based on their ability to contribute competence, insight and experience appropriate to assisting the group to set and achieve its objectives. Consequently, fees are set at levels to attract and retain the calibre of director necessary to contribute to a highly effective board. They do not receive short-term incentives, nor do they participate in long-term incentive plans. No arrangement exists for compensation in respect of loss of office.
As an exception to the recommended remuneration practice of the King III Code, and as in previous years, the fee structure for non-executive directors is not split between a base fee and an attendance fee. Board members are paid a fixed annual fee in respect of their board membership, as well as supplementary fees for committee membership and an ad hoc committee fee for formally scheduled board and committee meetings which do not form part of the annual calendar of meetings. The fee structure reflects the responsibilities of the directors that extend beyond the attendance of meetings and the requirement for directors to be available between scheduled meetings, when required. Non-executive directors receive fixed fees for services on boards and board committees.
Actual fees and the fee structure are reviewed annually. In setting fees, consideration is given to the increased responsibility placed on non-executive directors due to onerous legal and regulatory requirements and the commensurate risk assumed. The peer group used for benchmarking of fees is the same as for executive remuneration benchmarking. The board recommends the fees payable to the chairman and non-executive directors for approval by the shareholders. Following the recent review, it was clear that the board fees for the resident directors are significantly behind the new peer group. As a result it is intended that these fees be increased over a number of years to bring them more in line with the benchmarks.
The revised fees of the non-executive directors will be submitted to the shareholders for approval at the annual general meeting to be held on 4 December 2015, and implemented with retroactive effect from 1 July 2015, once approval by way of special resolution has been obtained. In the event that shareholder approval is not obtained, then the current fee structure will remain in place until such time as shareholders approve a new structure.
Annual non-executive directors’ fees are as follows for the two past financial years:

The chairman of a board committee is paid double the committee meeting fees of a member of such a committee. Executive directors do not receive directors’ fees.
A non-executive director is required to retire at the end of the calendar year in which the director turns 70, unless the board, subject to the memorandum of incorporation and by unanimous resolution on a year-to-year basis, extends the director’s term of office until the end of the year in which he or she turns 73.
Details of the appointments of non-executive directors in office are listed below:

Short-Term Incentive (STI) |
| If the executive resigns on or after 30 June, there is an entitlement to the STI which may be applicable for the past financial year, subject to the achievement of performance targets. No pro rata incentive is due if the executive leaves prior to the end of the financial year. |

· In cases of separation by mutual agreement, the salary and contributions towards benefit plans will be paid up to the last date of service and a mutual separation amount or a retainer may be offered subject to board approval.
· In the event of a takeover or merger of the company, the rights issued under the long-term incentive plan will vest immediately subject to the latest estimated performance achievement against the corporate performance targets, as approved by the board.
· There are no arrangements for ‘golden’ parachutes or any other incentivised terminations other than what is payable under the retrenchment policy.
· Prescribed officers and participants of the long-term incentive plans may not trade any Sasol shares or long-term incentives during a closed period.
· The Committee has the discretion to vary cessation conditions.
· From FY16 there will no longer be accelerated vesting on LTIs issued to executives and the normal vesting period will remain in place for good leavers.
