(Stockholm, April 3, 2014) – – – Autoliv, Inc. announced today that Mr. Lars Nyberg, Chairman of the Autoliv Board of Directors (the “Board”), has informed the Board that he wishes to withdraw his name as a nominee for re-election to the Board at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In connection with his withdrawal from nomination, Mr. Nyberg also informed the Board that he would resign as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately. The Board has appointed Mr. Jan Carlson, a current director and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Autoliv, as Interim Chairman of the Board, effective immediately. The Board is working through a process regarding the decision of Chairman of the Board and is likely to make an announcement before, or in connection with, the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 6, 2014. If the Board should decide to appoint Mr. Carlson as the Chairman of the Board, the Board would also appoint an independent lead director. Mr. Nyberg will continue to serve on the Board as a director until the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Nyberg believes that continuing to serve as Chairman would be inappropriate in light of his decision to not stand for re -election. Mr. Nyberg’s decision to withdraw as a nominee for re-election to the Board and resign as Chairman was not the result of any disagreements with Autoliv. In informing the Board of his decision, Mr. Nyberg indicated that he did not want the ongoing investigations relating to his former employment with TeliaSonera to distract from Autoliv’s continued success. At this time, the Board is not nominating a replacement director for election at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will reduce the size of the Board to seven members effective as of the 2014 Annual Meeting. The Board expressed its continued confidence in Autoliv’s management and strategy. Mr. Nyberg first joined Autoliv as a director in October 2004 and has served as Chairman since December 2011. “The Board and I want to thank Mr. Nyberg for his more than nine years of service to our Company. He has been an outstanding director and leader and his presence on our Board will be missed,” said Autoliv’s President and Chief Executive Officer Jan Carlson.
