(Stockholm, April 15, 2010) – – – Autoliv Inc. – the global leader in automotive safety systems – today announced that it had successfully exceeded the 90% threshold required to make its 51% owned Estonian subsidiary AS Norma wholly owned.

At the close of the offer period yesterday, shareholders representing 42.7% of all shares in the Estonian company had accepted the offer. This corresponds to 87.2% of the Norma shares that Autoliv did not own. Following the settlement Autoliv will hold 93.7% in Norma.
