SAS announces final results of SAS rights issue - oversubscribed by 50.0 percent
- and the record date for the reverse split

The final results of SAS AB's (“SAS”) rights issue of which the subscription
period ended 29 April 2010, show that 7,377,901,437 shares, corresponding to
99.7 percent of the offered shares were subscribed for with subscription rights.
In addition, 3,728,907,697 shares were subscribed for without subscription
rights, corresponding to 50.4 percent of the offered shares. Of the shares
subscribed for without subscription rights, 24,598,563 shares have been
allocated to subscribers based on the principles described in the prospectus
published on 9 April 2010. As a result the rights issue was oversubscribed by
50.0 percent and the underwriting commitments did not need to be utilised. 

Through the rights issue SAS expects to receive proceeds of SEK 4,959,675,000
before transaction costs. 

In order to enable and facilitate the rights issue, the Annual General Meeting
on 7 April 2010 resolved to reduce the company's share capital by SEK
4,515,525,000 without redemption of shares whereby the quota value for each
share will be reduced from SEK 2.50 to SEK 0.67. As a result of the rights issue
the share capital is expected to be increased by SEK 4,959,675,000 and following
registration of the rights issue and the reduction of share capital, the share
capital will amount to SEK 6,612,900,000. The number of shares in the company is
expected to be increased by 7,402,500,000 shares to 9,870,000,000 shares. 

The final day for trading in the BTA 1 is expected to be on or around 6 May
2010. Note that trading in BTA 1 on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm that occurs on 6 May
2010 will settle with a two bank day settlement scheme as opposed to three bank
day settlement scheme. Trading in the new shares subscribed for with
subscription rights on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen and Oslo Børs
is expected to commence on or around 7 May 2010. Trading in the new shares
subscribed for without subscription rights on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, NASDAQ OMX
Copenhagen and Oslo Børs is expected to commence on or around 21 May 2010.

The Annual General Meeting on 7 April 2010 resolved upon a reverse split of SAS
shares and authorized the Board of Directors to decide the record date for the
reverse split. Following the authorization the Board of Directors has decided
that the record date shall be 9 June 2010. The reverse split will have the
effect that thirty shares are consolidated into one share. The last day of
trading in the company's shares on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen
and Oslo Børs before the reverse split is 4 June 2010 and the first day of
trading in the company's shares after the reverse split is 7 June 2010.

Joint Lead Managers and Joint Bookrunners, DnB NOR Markets and The Royal Bank of
Scotland, are acting as Joint Lead Managers and Joint Bookrunners, and Danske
