Sasol concludes R1,45 billion Tshwarisano BEE deal
Sasol yesterday announced that the R1,45 billion Tshwarisano broad based black
economic empowerment transaction has been successfully concluded.
In terms of the agreement, Tshwarisano has acquired a 25% shareholding in Sasol’s liquid
fuels business housed in Sasol Oil (Pty) Limited.
Tshwarisano, which means “pulling together” in Sesotho, comprises many historically
disadvantaged groups around the country. Its chief promoters are Dr Penuell Maduna, Ms
Hixonia Nyasulu and Mr Reuel Khoza.
"We are particularly pleased about the broad composition profile of Tshwarisano. The
direct beneficiaries of Tshwarisano number many hundreds of thousands of historically
disadvantaged South Africans. More than 50% are women. The indirect beneficiaries
number an estimated three million people," says Tshwarisano chairman Dr Penuell
Maduna. He adds that beneficiaries also include the youth, the disabled and rural
communities.
Sasol is providing considerable facilitation and support for Tshwarisano's financing
requirements, which amount to about R1,1 billion. Sasol has provided guarantees for this
debt and has agreed not to recover guarantee fees, all of which will significantly lower
Tshwarisano's cost of borrowing. In addition, Sasol is also establishing and funding trusts
within Tshwarisano for the benefit of the under-privileged.

"These initiatives are aimed at reducing financing costs and improving the long-term
business benefits that will accrue to Tshwarisano's broad base of empowerment
shareholders," says Sasol CE Pat Davies, adding that for Sasol transformation in South
Africa is a strategic, business and moral imperative. “We aspire to advancing our
empowerment initiatives in ways that are sustainable, credible and of benefit to the Sasol
group, all our stakeholders, and the country as a whole," he adds.
Sasol planned to incorporate Tshwarisano into the envisaged Uhambo Oil, a proposed
joint venture company between Sasol Limited and Petronas International Corporation
Limited, which was turned down by the Competition Tribunal at the end of February 2006.
The intention from the start, however, was that if this Uhambo merged company was
disallowed, Tshwarisano would become a 25% shareholder in Sasol's liquid fuels
business.
The new Sasol Oil (Pty) Ltd board will comprise 12 directors – three directors from
Tshwarisano , six directors from Sasol and three executive directors from Sasol Oil. Their
names will be announced as soon as the board is properly constituted.
"Sasol Limited and Tshwarisano have entered into a landmark BEE transaction that has
been significantly facilitated by Sasol Limited regarding pricing and the financing of costs
that will allow real vesting of value to its BEE partners,” says Philip Reynolds of Nedbank
Capital Corporate Finance, joint lead adviser and arranger to Tshwarisano.
“The transaction incorporates a substantial, boadbased BEE element with women, rural
participants and credible business partners. This sets a new benchmark for BEE
transformation in South Africa, as envisaged by the Codes of Good Practise on Broad
Based Black Economic Empowerment," he adds.
“The Tshwarisano transaction represents the largest BEE transaction in the liquid fuels
industry and serves as a model for the structuring of sustainable and value creating

empowerment transactions. Both Sasol and Tshwarisano have not only been responsive
to prevailing BEE and and transformation requirements but have gone further to position
Sasol Oil as a platform for growth which will benefit all its stakeholders,” says Fradreck
Shoko of JPMorgan Chase Bank, joint lead adviser and arranger to Tshwarisano.
Says David Munro, Standard Bank Deputy Chief Executive at Corporate and Investment
Banking: “This landmark R1,45 billion deal has provided Standard Bank with the
opportunity to be involved in and to make a real difference to furthering broad-based black
economic empowerment in South Africa. We are delighted to partner Sasol in this critical
deal”
Munro said that an important aspect of this transaction is that Standard Bank is the sole
provider of domestic funding of just under R1,3 billion, which has allowed it the flexibility to
provide a highly customised solution.
