Dow Jones Description
Autoliv Inc. was started in 1997 as a merger of Europe's leading automotive safety company, Autoliv AB of Sweden, and Morton ASP (Automotive Safety Products), the leading airbag manufacturer in North America and Asia. Autoliv AB pioneered seatbelt technology in 1956, while Morton ASP had been a leader in airbag development and was involved in the launch in 1980 of the first airbag system that became a commercial success. In 1992, Autoliv began manufacturing textile cushions for driver airbags using its new one-piece-weaving (OPW) technology. This patented technology turned out to be instrumental for the Inflatable Curtain, which was introduced in 1998. Autoliv AB was acquired in 1974 by Granges Weda AB, which had manufactured seatbelt retractors since the 1960's. In 1980, the Granges Group (later re-named SAPA) was acquired by Electrolux. In 1984, the name of Granges Weda was changed to Electrolux Autoliv.

Mr. Wallin performed the functions of the CFO between May 15 and September 1, 2008, when Ms. Fredriksson started with the Company. Over time, the Company has developed a compensation philosophy which integrates elements of Swedish and international compensation practices. Swedish executive compensation levels have historically been modest compared to European markets, and even more so compared to the market in the United States. Swedish compensation practices traditionally focus on the base salary levels necessary to recruit and retain executive talent to the company. As a consequence, base salary generally constitutes half of the total compensation of our named executive officers (excluding the executive s pension), reflecting a compromise between, on the one hand, the Swedish practice of lower total compensation but a relatively higher base salary, and on the other hand, the U.S. practice of higher total compensation but with a relatively higher at-risk component. The Company has also developed a practice of structuring and targeting incentives such that the value of long-term incentives normally is greater than that of short-term incentives. The Company has, by using variable incentive compensation, sought a balanced distribution of fixed and variable incentive compensation elements over time.
