Not for release, publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into

As announced by SAS AB ("SAS" or the "Company") on 23 September 2020, the Board

of Directors of SAS has resolved on a rights issue of common shares in

accordance with the Company's recapitalization plan. The subscription price in

the rights issue is SEK 1.16 per common share. Holders of shares registered with

VP Securities and traded at Nasdaq Copenhagen in Denmark will pay an amount in

DKK corresponding to the subscription price of SEK 1.16 per common share, as

further described in the prospectus published on 30 September 2020 (the

"Prospectus").

The final subscription price in DKK has, as set out in the Prospectus, been

determined based on Bloomberg's 07:00 CEST DKK/SEK exchange rate today and

resulted in a subscription price of DKK 0.8321 per common share. The aggregate

amount in DKK that a subscriber will pay will be rounded up to whole centesimal

(Dk. øre).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This press release and the information herein is not for publication, release or

distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, in or into the United

States, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore or South Africa or

any other state or jurisdiction in which publication, release or distribution

would be unlawful or where such action would require additional prospectuses,

filings or other measures in addition to those required under Swedish law.

The press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an

offer to sell or issue, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or acquire, or

regulations, or would require additional prospectuses, filings, or other

measures in addition to those required under Swedish law. Measures in violation

of the restrictions may constitute a breach of relevant securities laws.

None of the Securities have been or will be registered under the United States

laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States, and may not be
