New organization and changes in Group management

The Husqvarna Group will implement a new organization as of year-end 2009. The
new organization will be implemented gradually as of 1 July 2009. 

Instead of the current six business sectors, the new organization will comprise
five operative units, i.e. Supply Chain, Products & Marketing, Sales and Service
in Europe and Asia/Pacific, Sales and Service in North and Latin America, and
Construction Products (see enclosed chart).

Martin Bertinchamp, currently head of the business sector Consumer Products,
Rest of the World (mass-market channels), will be head of Products & Marketing.
Hans Linnarson, currently head of the sectors Consumer Products Rest of the
World (dealer channel) and professional products for Lawn and Garden, will be
head of Sales and Service in Europe and Asia/Pacific. Roger Leon, currently head
of the sector Consumer Products North America, will be acting head of Sales and
Service, North and South America. Magnus Yngen, President and CEO will be acting
head of Supply Chain.

Anders Ströby will continue as head of Construction Products. Bo Andreasson,
currently head of the Forestry business sector, will be head of the Group's
global product-development organization and will thus no longer be a member of
Group management. There will be no changes in Group staff.
