Competition tribunal confirms settlement of section 4 complaint

The Competition Tribunal (“the Tribunal”) today announced that,

in terms of a consent order granted on 24 February 2011, it has

confirmed the settlement agreement (“the Settlement Agreement”)
reached between the Competition Commission (“the Commission”) and

Sasol Polymers, a division of Sasol Chemical Industries Limited.

The Settlement Agreement related to Sasol Polymers’ existing

propylene supply contract with Safripol (“the Supply Agreement”).

On 12 August 2010, the Commission referred a complaint to the
Tribunal, in which it contended that the pricing provisions of

the Supply Agreement gave raise to indirect price fixing between

Sasol Polymers and Safripol. The pricing provisions were,
however, inserted into the Supply Agreement with the knowledge

of the then Competition Board in relation to the proposed merger,
in 1993, of the monomer, polymer and certain other chemicals

operations of Sasol and AECI Limited.

In Sasol Polymers’ view, any contravention of the Competition Act
(Act 89 of 1998), as amended, (the “Act”) as a result of the

Supply Agreement has its origins in these pricing provisions

rather than any intention to contravene the Act. Given the
uncertainty surrounding the legal position in relation to the

pricing formula and the interpretation of section 4(1)(b) of the
Act, it was considered prudent to settle with the Commission by

accepting that the Supply Agreement gave rise to indirect price-
fixing.

As communicated in our press release on the 14

of December

2010, in terms of this Settlement Agreement, Sasol Polymers has

agreed to pay a penalty of R 111 690 000, which was subject to
confirmation by the Tribunal, in full and final settlement of the

Commission's allegations that the pricing formula gave rise to
indirect price fixing.

Sasol Polymers and Safripol have also reached agreement on the
key terms that are to govern the future monomer supply

relationship between the parties, which we consider to be fully

compliant from a competition law perspective.

Norbert Behrens, the Group General Manager: Strategy and Planning

at Sasol, said, "At Sasol we are committed to comply with all

legislation and hence to resolve any competition law issues where

possible. This matter is one of the outstanding competition law
issues and we are pleased that this matter has now been

resolved."
