Change in Husqvarna's Nomination Committee
Second Swedish National Pension Fund has reduced its shareholding in Husqvarna and will therefore leave the Nomination Committee. Carl Rosén, Second Swedish National Pension Fund will be replaced by Thomas Halvorsen, Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund. As of 31 October 2006, Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund's shareholdings in Husqvarna corresponded to 2.9% of the voting rights.
The Nomination Committee thus consists of Chairman Johan Forssell, AB Investor, Ramsay J. Brufer, Alecta Mutual Pension Insurance, Marianne Nilsson, Robur Investment Funds, Thomas Halvorsen, Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund and Lars Westerberg, Chairman of the Husqvarna Board.
