Autoliv Raises Dividend to a Record Level Announces Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Stockholm, February 21, 2012) – – – The Board of Directors of Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV and SSE: ALIV sdb) – the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems – today raised the Company’s quarterly dividend to stockholders by two cents to 47 cents per share for the second quarter 2012, an increase of 4.4% from the previous quarter. The dividend declared today will be payable on Thursday, June 7, 2012 to Autoliv stockholders of record on the close of business on May 23, 2012. The ex-date, when the shares will trade without the right to the dividend, will be Monday, May 21. The dividend amount paid to stockholders is expected to be close to $45 million, an increase of nearly $5 million, or approximately 10%, from the dividend paid in the first quarter. In addition to the higher dividend per share, the increase in the dividend amount is due to the fact that there will be approximately 6% more shares outstanding on the record date for the second quarter, primarily resulting from the settlement of equity units on April 30, 2012. Shareholder AGM The Board of Directors has set Tuesday, May 8, 2012 as the date for the Annual General Meeting of Stockholders to be held in Chicago, IL, USA. Only holders of record at the close of business on March 12, 2012 will be entitled to be present and vote at the Annual Meeting.
