SAS announces last day of trading in its common shares and commercial hybrids bonds, and confirms previously announced record date

SAS announces last day of trading in its common shares and commercial hybrids bonds, and confirms previously announced record date

SAS AB (publ) (the "Company") announces that the last day of trading in its

existing common shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, Nasdaq Copenhagen and Oslo Børs (the

"Exchanges"), and the last day of trading in its listed commercial hybrid bonds

on Nasdaq Stockholm, will occur tomorrow, August 13, 2024. Accordingly, the

Company also confirms that the distribution record date for holders of the

Company's listed commercial hybrid bonds under the plan of reorganization (the

"Reorganization Plan") in the Company's company reorganization proceeding in

Sweden (Sw. företagsrekonstruktion) is August 15, 2024, as previously announced.

On July 19, 2024, the Company announced that the Reorganization Plan had been

approved by the Stockholm District Court, and that the Company had applied for

the delisting of its existing common shares from the Exchanges and for the

delisting of its commercial hybrid bonds from Nasdaq Stockholm, conditional upon

the decision to approve the Reorganization Plan entering into legal force. It

was confirmed today that the decision entered into legal force upon expiry of

the appeal period on August 9, 2024, and the Exchanges have consequently

communicated that the last day of trading of the existing common shares and

commercial hybrid bonds will occur on August 13, 2024. This also means that, as

of today, it will no longer be possible to carry out conversions of the common

shares between the securities depositary systems in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

On August 6, 2024, the Company announced that it had agreed with Intertrust

(Sweden) AB, in its capacity as agent under the Company's listed commercial

hybrid bonds, that the record date on which holders of the commercial hybrid

bonds must be holders of such bonds to be entitled to receive distributions

under the Reorganization Plan shall occur two business days after the last day

of trading of the bonds on Nasdaq Stockholm. Against the above background, the

Company confirms that the record date will occur on August 15, 2024, as

previously announced. After the record date, the instrument will be blocked for

settlement in Euroclear Sweden's system, meaning that it will not be possible to

transfer ownership of commercial hybrid bonds after such date.

The registration of the changes to the Company's capital structure with the

Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) resolved as part of the

Reorganization Plan, and consequently the cancellation of the existing common

shares from the shareholders' registers maintained by Euroclear Sweden, Euronext

Securities Copenhagen and Euroclear Securities Oslo, as well as the redemption

and cancellation of the commercial hybrid bonds, will be effected following

emergence from the restructuring proceedings.

SAS currently expects to emerge from its restructuring proceedings around the

end of August 2024.
