Changes in the Nomination Committee for SAS AB

Changes in the Nomination Committee for SAS AB

At the Annual General Shareholder's Meeting in SAS AB on April 9, 2008, members
of the 
Nomination Committee for SAS AB were appointed. Information about the Nomination

Committee's composition and following changes has previously been published
through press releases and via the company's homepage.

SAS AB has now been informed that Danske Bank has substantially reduced its
shareholding in SAS AB and that Danske Bank's nominated member, Henrik Norman,
in accordance with the Instruction to the Nomination Committee decided by the
Annual General Shareholder's Meeting, has made his seat available. 

The Nomination Committee, that is already advanced in the process, has after
evaluation, following Henrik Norman's retirement, decided that it still has a
representative assembly that fulfils the requirements of the Articles of
Association, and that the change of the assembly does not substantially affect
the Nomination Committees possibilities to perform its commission. 

Hence, the Nomination Committee, supported by the rules in the instruction,
decided not to appoint any new member to replace Henrik Norman, but instead it
will carry on its work with remaining five members. 

After the above change the Nomination Committee consists of the following five
members:

Björn Mikkelsen, Swedish Ministry of Industry, for the Swedish Government
(Chairman of the Nomination Committee) 
Peter Brixen, Danish Ministry of Finance, for the Danish Government 
Knut J. Utvik, Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry, for the Norwegian
Government 
Peter Wallenberg Jr, for Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Foundation  
Anders Rydin, for SEB Fonder.
