Changes in the nomination committee for SAS AB

At the Annual Shareholders' Meeting in SAS AB on April 19, 2012, members of the Nomination Committee for SAS AB were appointed. Information about the Nomination Committee's composition has previously been published through a media release and via the company's homepage.

SAS AB has been informed that SEB Fonder has significantly reduced its holdings in SAS AB. Anders Rydin representing SEB Fonder has therefore according to  the work instructions of the nomination committee decided to put his seat to the disposal of the committee.

The nomination committee that has started its work has, after discussions with other large shareholders in SAS AB, made a joint assessment that it after the retirement of Anders Rydin still can continue its mission according to its instructions.

The nomination committee has therefore decided to not appoint any new member, but continue its work with remaining 5 members.

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

Jonas Iversen, Swedish Ministry of Finance , for the Swedish Government, Chairman
Peter Brixen, Danish Ministry of Finance, for the Danish Government
Knut Utvik, Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry, for the Norwegian Government
Peter Wallenberg Jr, for Knut och Allice Wallenbergs Foundation
Karsten Biltoft, for Danmark's Nationalbank
