Change of record date for holders of SAS AB’s commercial hybrid bonds
On July 19, 2024, SAS AB (publ) (the “Company”) announced via a press release that the Stockholm District Court had confirmed the Company’s plan of reorganization (the “Reorganization Plan”) in its company reorganization proceeding in Sweden (Sw. företagsrekonstruktion). The press release included information stating that holders of the Company’s listed commercial hybrid bonds must be holders of such bonds as of Friday, July 26, 2024 (the “Record Date”) to be entitled to receive distributions under the Reorganization Plan. For practical reasons, the Company has agreed with Intertrust (Sweden AB), in its capacity as agent under the commercial hybrid bonds, to postpone the Record Date until further notice. The new record date for holders of commercial hybrid bonds will be communicated separately at a later stage through a press release.
The postponement of the Record Date will not impact the overall timeline for SAS’ emergence from its restructuring proceedings.
