Acquisitions and transfers of own shares Haldex presently holds 376,470 own shares in the company, corresponding to approximately 0.85 per cent of all outstanding shares. The General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board’s proposal, to authorize the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisition and/or transfer of own shares on one or more occasions until the Annual General Meeting 2011. Acquisition of the company’s own shares can be made on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, for the purpose of increasing the flexibility of the Board in connection with potential future corporate acquisitions, as well as to cover costs and secure delivery of shares in accordance with LTI 2007 and LTI 2010. The company’s total holdings of own shares must not at any time exceed 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the company. Transfer of own shares can be made either on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm or in other manner, for the purpose of financing possible future corporate acquisitions, up to the number of own shares held by the company at the time of transfer. Transfer of own shares for the purpose of covering certain costs related to LTI 2007 may be made on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm and shall not exceed 310,000 shares. Transfer of own shares may be made with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and shall be made at a price determined in close connection to the shares’ quoted price at the time of the Board’s resolution on transfer.
