4. Jurisdiction

The Rights Offer does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which it is illegal to make such an offer.

The Rights Offer Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of the United States. Accordingly, the Rights Offer Shares may not be offered, sold, resold, delivered or transferred, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons, except pursuant to exemptions from the Securities Act of the United States.

The Rights Offer does not constitute an offer in the District of Columbia, the United States, the Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan or in any other jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

Shareholders resident outside South Africa, the Republic of Namibia and the Kingdoms of Swaziland and Lesotho (the "Common Monetary Area") should consult their professional advisors to determine whether any governmental or other consents are required or other formalities need to be observed to allow them to take up the Rights Offer, or trade their entitlement.

Shareholders holding SacOil Shares on behalf of persons who are resident outside the Common Monetary Area are responsible for ensuring that taking up the Rights Offer, or trading in their entitlements under that offer, do not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdictions.

SacOil shareholders should note that the Rights Offer is not being made into the United Kingdom and holders of SacOil depository interests, as traded on AIM, are not able to subscribe for shares pursuant to this transaction.

5. Circular

The Rights Offer Circular setting out the detailed terms of the Rights Offer will be posted to Shareholders on or about Monday, 6 January 2014.

6. Erratum to the Circular

Shareholders are referred to "Annexure C: Major Subsidiary Companies" of the Revised Listing Particulars, as appended to Circular, and advised that the total amount reflected for the "Carrying amount 2013" column of R160,918,566 is inaccurate. The correct amount is an amount of R69,324,186. The Company apologises to Shareholders for this inaccuracy.
