Proposals from the Nomination Committee of SAS AB to the 2008 Annual General
Meeting - new Board Chairman and new Board member.

The Nomination Committee of SAS AB will propose to the Annual General Meeting on
April 9, 2008 that Consul-General Fritz H. Schur be elected Chairman of the
Board of Directors of SAS AB. He is proposed as the replacement for the current
Chairman Egil Myklebust who has expressed a desire to step down from his Board
assignment. The Nomination Committee also proposes that Dag Mejdell, CEO of
Posten Norge AS, be elected as a new Board member.

SAS Board Chairman Egil Myklebust informed the Nomination Committee in autumn
2006 that he intended to step down from his position as Chairman of the Board of
SAS AB. Due to the appointment of the new President and CEO Mats Jansson, he
accepted the Nomination Committee's request to retain his assignment until the
Annual General Meeting to be held in spring 2008.

Egil Myklebust informed the Nomination Committee in autumn 2007 that he was
adhering to his intention to step down from his position. 

The Chairman of the Nomination Committee, Björn Mikkelsen, said in a comment:
“Egil Myklebust has made an immense contribution to the SAS Group, and took on
the role of Chairman in 2001 when the situation of the company was critical. It
is regrettable that he now wishes to step down.”

A unanimous Nomination Committee, assisted by an external recruitment company
and after considering candidates from among the current Board members and
potential external candidates, has decided to propose to the Annual General
Meeting that Consul-General Fritz H. Schur be elected as the new Chairman of the
Board of Directors of SAS AB. Fritz H. Schur has been a member of the Board of
SAS AB since 2001.

The Nomination Committee will propose that CEO Dag Mejdell, Posten Norge AS, be
elected as a new member of the Board. It is proposed that all other Board
members be reelected.

“Fritz Schur is recognized as a highly competent business executive. He has
extensive experience from serving as the chairman of the board of large
companies. In addition, he is extremely familiar with SAS's operations and the
challenges faced by the company. Dag Mejdell has a background in industry with
an international perspective. He also possesses considerable financial
experience. Based on the proposals that the Nomination Committee is to present
to the Annual General Meeting, the company will have a well composed Board of
Directors,” says Björn Mikkelsen, Chairman of the Nomination Committee. 
Including these changes, the Nomination Committee will present to the Annual
General Meeting on April 9, 2008 the following proposal concerning the
composition of a new Board of SAS AB: 

Fritz H. Schur, Chairman
Jacob Wallenberg
Anitra Steen
Berit Kjøll
