Strategic Options Relating to the Haldex Group Structure

Haldex has a long tradition of being an innovator in selected areas. The
requirements of the vehicle industry demands that innovation must be combined
with strong market positions. Against this background, the Board of Directors of
Haldex has decided to focus on segments where the Group can achieve sustainable
market positions based on innovative and leading products, providing a
foundation for sustainable growth and good profitability. As part of this
strategy, Haldex will actively evaluate structural options in order to form
competitive units with good prospects. 

The acquisition of Concentric fits with this focus and is highly complementary
to Haldex' current offering in the diesel engine product area with a focus
towards products for emission reduction and fuel efficiency. The stringent
environmental requirements on engine manufacturers support the development
prospects within this segment.

On the same basis, other areas within Haldex are under continuous review. For
those areas where Haldex considers that more shareholder value can be created
either through cooperations with other companies through complementary
acquisitions or by divestment such solutions will be actively analysed. 

Presently different strategic options for the Garphyttan Wire division,
including a potential sale of the business, are being assessed.
