Other Events.

On May 24, 2018, Autoliv, Inc. (“Autoliv”) announced that its board of directors approved a pro rata distribution (the “Spin-off”) to Autoliv stockholders of all of the outstanding shares of Veoneer, Inc. (“Veoneer”). The Spin-off is expected to be completed on June 29, 2018.

On June 8, 2018, Autoliv issued a press release announcing that the registration statement on Form 10 previously filed by Veoneer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to register its common stock for listing on the New York Stock Exchange became effective on June 8, 2018 (the “Registration Statement”). On the same day, Veoneer’s prospectus for the listing of its Swedish Depository Receipts (SDRs) on Nasdaq Stockholm was approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. The Registration Statement includes an information statement, which describes the Spin-off in detail and contains important business and financial information about Veoneer. The information statement and prospectus are publicly available at www.veoneer.com and www.autoliv.com/investors/veoneer-spin.

In the same press release, Autoliv also announced that Jan Carlson, the President and CEO of Veoneer since April 1, 2018, has been named the chairman of the board of directors of Veoneer following the completion of the Spin-off. It is expected that James M. Ringler will be elected by the independent directors of Veoneer to serve as lead independent director.
