1) Resigned from the Board on August 29, 2011.

In 2009 and 2010 the Board remuneration was partly emitted in the form of synthetic shares. The synthetic shares give a right to receive an amount in cash per synthetic share after five years, i.e. in 2014 and 2015 respectively. It was resolved at the Annual General Meeting 2011 that the previous Board remuneration partly paid in synthetic shares should not be renewed. However, Board members are expected to engage themselves financially in Husqvarna by acquiring Husqvarna shares within a period of five years, corresponding to one year's Board fee.
