Appendix A:1<br />

Determination of the number of Directors and Deputy Directors to be elected and<br />

proposal for election of Directors and Deputies<br />

Number of Directors and Deputy Directors<br />

The <strong>Nomination</strong> Committee proposes that the Board of Directors shall comprise nine (9) Directors without<br />

Board<br />

The <strong>Nomination</strong> Committee proposes re-election of the Directors Lars Westerberg,<br />

Bengt Andersson, Peggy Bruzelius, Börje Ekholm, Tom Johnstone, Anders Moberg,<br />

Gun Nilsson, Peder Ramel and Robert F. Connolly. The reason for not proposing new Board Members to be<br />

elected is that the <strong>Nomination</strong> Committee considers that the nine Board Members proposed by the <strong>Nomination</strong><br />

Committee are very well suited for carrying out <strong>Husqvarna</strong>’s Board work over their coming term of office. The<br />

<strong>Nomination</strong> Committee proposes that Lars Westerberg is appointed chairman of the Board.<br />
