Reference is made to the previous stock exchange announcements by Norwegian Air
Shuttle ASA (the "Company") regarding the conversion of debt to equity. As
described inter alia in the Company's prospectus dated 5 May 2020 (the
"Prospectus") and the stock exchange notices dated 20 May 2020, 17 June 2020, 20
July 2020, 6 August 2020 and 18 August 2020, the Company has been working with
certain of its creditors to convert further debt into equity and to reduce
overall claims. 

Following constructive discussions with its operating lessors, the Company has
reached an agreement to convert:

(i) approximately USD 1.9 million of lease debt into perpetual bonds (as
described in section 5.5 of the Prospectus (the "Perpetual Bonds")) which may in
the option of the holder be converted into approximately 4.7 million ordinary
shares in the Company at a conversion price of NOK 4.24919 (the "Conversion
Price"), subject to Euro-market standard anti-dilution provisions; and

(ii) an agreed estimate of future end-of-lease maintenance obligations totaling
approximately USD 17.7 million into perpetual bonds that are substantially
similar to the Perpetual Bonds, save for that, from 4 June 2023, such bonds may
during a two-week period be converted at the volume weighted average price of
the shares at such time, rather than the Conversion Price, ensuring that the
converting lessors are able to fully recoup the amount of such end-of-lease
maintenance payments in three (3) years' time. Prior to such time, such
perpetual bonds are convertible into approximately 43.8 million shares at the
Conversion Price (subject to Euro-market standard anti-dilution provisions).

The perpetual bonds shall be subject to lock-up regulations in respect of
trading and conversion, such that 1/3 will be released from lock-up on each of 9
October 2020 and 9 December 2020. The remaining 1/3 of the perpetual bonds shall
not be subject to any lock-up restrictions and shall be tradeable and
convertible from the time of issue.

Following the issuances set out in (i) and (ii) above, NAS will have perpetual
bonds in issue in the nominal amount of c. NOK 2.2 billion (including amounts
issued in other currencies exchanged into NOK at the fixed exchange rate set out
in the applicable perpetual bond agreements) which may in the option of the
holder be converted into approximately 516 million ordinary shares in the
Company at the Conversion Price, subject to the aforementioned anti-dilution
provisions and lock-up regulations. Approximately NOK 309 million of such
perpetual bonds may during a two-week period from 4 June 2023 be converted at
the volume weighted average price of the shares at such time, rather than the
Conversion Price (as set out in (ii) above).

The conversion of lease debt as set out above is part of the debt restructuring
program to address the outstanding debt of the Company. The Company is
continuing to work with repayment plans and possible further conversions of debt
to equity and equity-like convertible instruments.
