shares on the JSE in a timely manner, especially in a
large block trade, may be restricted by this limited
liquidity. The sales of ordinary shares or ADSs, if
substantial, or the perception that these sales may occur
and be substantial, could exert downward pressure on
the prevailing market prices for Sasol ordinary shares
or ADSs, causing their market prices to decline.
