At Sandvik AB's Annual General Meeting on 4 May 2010, it was resolved
that the company shall have a Nomination Committee comprising one
representative for each of the four principal shareholders, together

Committee has the possibility to call in one co-opted member to the

announced publicly as soon as it is appointed. The Chairman of the
Nomination Committee shall be the member representing the largest
shareholder. The term of the Nomination Committee extends until the next
Nomination Committee is appointed.

The Nomination Committee shall prepare proposals regarding the Chairman
of the Meeting, the number of Board members, fees to be paid to the
Board members and auditors, the election of Board members and Board
Chairman, the number of auditors and the appointment of auditors, and
how the Nomination Committee shall be elected for the 2012 Annual
General Meeting and the duties of that Nomination Committee.
