On other matters, the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting also voted in accordance with the proposals contained in the notification of the Meeting, including the proposed amendments of the articles of association so that the SAS Group’s financial year shall comprise the period 1 November – 31 October instead of the calendar year, and that the current financial year be shortened and thus will comprise the period 1 January 2012 – 31 October 2012.
