JOHANNESBURG, November 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Sasol, the South African chemicals and energy company, has increased its existing US$1,5 billion Revolving Credit Facility ("the Facility") to US$3,9 billion and extended the maturity to five years with the inclusion of two further extension options of one year each.

Sasol launched this transaction with a targeted facility size of US$3,0 billion, which was subsequently increased to US$3,9 billion given the notable oversubscription.

The Company also accommodated a limited number of smaller tickets with the Arranger title.

Syndication closed oversubscribed with17 banks committing, allowing Sasol to increase the Facility and offer scale back to the Joint Global Co-ordinators, BMLAs and the MLAs.
