  · The Board of Directors of SAS has resolved to increase the offer to comprise
7 million preference shares, corresponding to SEK 3.5 billion, as a result of
very strong demand
  · The subscription period in the institutional offer is shortened to end on 19
February 2014 at 12.00 CET.
  · Subscription price and other terms remain unchanged
  · The Offer is conditional on, inter alia, that the AGM later today approves

On 7 February 2014 SAS announced an offer to the general public in Denmark,
Norway and Sweden, and institutional investors to subscribe for preference
shares totalling approximately 4 million preference shares, at a subscription
price of SEK 500 per preference share, including an option to increase the offer
to consist of up to 7 million preference shares in total (“the Offer”).

Very strong demand to subscribe in the Offer acknowledges the market’s
confidence in SAS’ continued progress. Consequently, the Board of Directors of
SAS has in consultation with Carnegie, Nordea and SEB, decided to increase the
Offer by approximately 3 million preference shares, totalling 7 million
preference shares. By increasing the number of preference shares in the Offer,
SAS may raise up to SEK 3.5 billion before issue costs. The Board of Directors
has also decided to shorten the subscription period for the institutional
investors to end on 19 February at 12.00 CET.

By increasing the Offer, SAS’ financial position will be additionally
strengthened, assure the continued confidence from customers and suppliers and
reduce dependence on bank financing further. The additional capital raised will
also strengthen SAS’ negotiating position with regard to the financing of the
ongoing renewal of the aircraft fleet.

The Offer is conditional on, inter alia, that the AGM later today approves the
proposed changes to the Articles of Association and authorises the Board of
Directors to resolve on the issuance of preference shares.

Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ), Nordea Bank AB (publ), Markets – Investment
Banking and SEB Corporate Finance, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB are acting
as financial advisors, Joint Lead Managers and Joint Bookrunners for the Offer.

Mannheimer Swartling is legal advisor.
