Pursuant to the resolution dated 22.02.2019 of the Board of Directors of the company Aegean Airlines S.A (the "Company" or "Issuer" or "AEGEAN"), the following, among others, have been decided:

(a) issuance of a Common Bond Loan by the Company (the "CBL"), of a total amount of up to200.000.000, of a duration of seven (7) years, divided into up to 200.000 dematerialized, common, bearer bonds, each of a nominal value of €1.000 (the "Bonds"), as well as the approval of the CBL's specific terms, which constitute the CBL's programme (the "CBL Programme"), in accordance with the applicable provisions of articles 59-74 of Law 4548/2018 as in force and Law 3156/2003 as in force (to the extent is implemented) and Law 3371/2005 and the decision 19/776/13.2.2017 of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission (the "Issue"),

(b) that the Bonds will be offered for subscription by investors by way of a public offer (the "Public Offer"), with use of the Electronic Book-Building service (the "E.BB") of Athens Exchange and will be admitted for trading in the category of Fixed Income Securities of the Regulated Market of the Athens Exchange (the "Athens Exchange"),

If the CBL is not subscribed for an amount of at least Euro One Hundred Fifty Million (150.000.000), the Issue will be cancelled and the amount corresponding to the subscription value of each Private Investor will be released within two business days from the end of the Public Offer at the latest.

FIXING OF FINAL YIELD, INTEREST RATE AND OFFER PRICE OF THE BONDS

The price, the yield, and the interest rate of the Bonds, shall be determined through a book building process (the "Book Building"), which shall be run by the Joint Coordinators and Bookrunners. The E.BB. service shall be used for the Book Building process, in which only Qualified Investors may participate.

The yield range shall be determined by the Joint Coordinators and Bookrunners and shall be published at the latest the day prior the commencement of the Public Offer period. It is noted that the yield range will be determined following a pre-marketing process where the conditions of the international capital markets as well as the Company's financial status and outlook will be taken into consideration. During the period prior the Book Building process (pre-marketing period) the Joint Coordinators receive indicative offers by Qualified Investors, in order to determine - according to professional criteria - the yield range that best meets current market's conditions.

The high end of the yield range may be greater than the low end up to 150 basis points. Also, the Joint Coordinators and Bookrunners shall determine the Interest Rate and the Offer Price which determine the final yield. The Interest Rate may be equal to the final yield or lower by up to 25 basis points.

The criteria and the conditions upon which the final yield, the Interest Rate and the Offer Price will be determined include the conditions of the capital markets, the demand per required yield by Qualified Investors, the number and type of Qualified Investors, demand by Private Investors (to the extent that the final allocation to them will surpass the minimum allocation percentage of 30%), the financing cost that the Issuer is willing to undertake in order to service the Issue.

Indicatively, if demand by Qualified Investors covers the Issue up to the high end of the yield range but at the same time a material part of the Issue is subscribed at a lower yield, then a lower yield may be selected, even if that would result in less capital raised, but in any case at least150.000.000, which is also defined as the condition for the issuance of the Bonds. The final yield will be determined by the Joint Coordinators and Bookrunners within the yield range for the participants in the Book Building process. The final yield, the Interest Rate and theOffer Price shall be notified to the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission and shall be published, at the latest, the next business day following the end of the Public Offer.

Concurrently with the determination of the final yield, the final allocation of the offered Bonds will be decided. In any event, the Interest Rate and the Offer Price shall be determined within the announced binding yield range.

The Interest Rate and the Offer Price will be the same for both Qualified and Private Investors who will participate to the Public Offer.

For more information on the Offer Price, see section 4.3.3 "Fixing of Final Yield, Interest Rate and Offer Price of the Bonds by a Public Offer via Book Building" of the Prospectus.

PROCESS FOR BONDS OFFERING

The Bonds offering shall be implemented by way of a Public Offer to investors through the E.BB. process.

Each investor may subscribe and submit the relevant subscription form (the "Subscription Form") for the purchase of Bonds, via the E.BB. process for at least one (1) offered Bond or for an integer number of Bonds.

In order to participate in the Public offer, Qualified Investors or Intermediaries must submit their Subscription Forms directly to the Joint Coordinators and Bookrunners, Lead Underwriters and other Underwriters.

The yield that will be included in the Subscription Form, within the announced range, will be on 5 basis points (0.050%) increments.

Offers by Qualified Investors will be collected throughout the Book Building process and will be managed by the Joint Coordinators and Bookrunners in order to determine the requested volume per yield as well as the total number of the requested Bonds.

Interested Qualified Investors and Intermediaries may be informed on the process of filing and amending an offer by the Joint Coordinators and Bookrunners and Underwriters. The Book Building will close on the last day of the Public Offer period (16.00 Greek time), whereupon all offers, as in force at that time, will be considered as final.

Details regarding process of the offer and allocation of Bonds may be found in section 4.3.5

«Process for the Offer, Subscription and Allocation of the Offered Bonds of the Public Offer" of the Prospectus.

Following the determination of the final yield, the Interest Rate and the Offer Price, the Joint Coordinators and Bookrunners shall determine the size of the Issue and subsequently the allocation of the Bonds to investors will be implemented as follows:

  • At least 30% of the Bonds of the Public Offer (namely minimum 60,000 Bonds in the event of full subscription of the CBL, namely issue of 200,000 Bonds) will be allocated to Private Investors; and

  • • The remaining 70% the Bonds (namely maximum 140,000 Bonds in the event of full subscription of the CBL, namely 200,000 Bonds) will be allocated among Qualified Investors and Private Investors.

As long as the subscriptions of Private Investors for the 30% of the Bonds of the Public Offer have been satisfied, in order to determine the final allocation to each category of investors, the following criteria will be considered: a) the demand by Qualified Investors, b) the demand by the remaining part of the 30% of the Private Investors, c) the number of Private Investors as well as d) the need to create conditions for the smooth trading of the Bonds in the secondary market.
