Changes in Husqvarna’s Group Management

Effective January 1, 2013, Husqvarna Group has decided to divide the business
unit ‘Sales and Service Europe & Asia/Pacific’ into two new business units –
‘Sales and Service Europe’, and ‘Sales and Service Asia/Pacific’. Frida Norrbom
Sams has been appointed Executive Vice President, Head of Sales and Service
Europe and will become new member of Group Management.
The change will enable further concentrated efforts in the European region while
at the same time putting a stronger focus on the growing markets in the
Asia/Pacific region.

The change will not imply any changes in the external financial reporting, i.e.
results will still be reported for the current business area Europe &
Asia/Pacific.

Frida Norrbom Sams joined Husqvarna in 2011 and has broad experience from sales
and business leadership on a global and a European level as well as in the
Nordic region. Most recently, she has held the position as Vice President for
the Nordic and Baltic regions within Sales and Service Europe & Asia/Pacific.

“Frida has deep knowledge of the different markets where we operate, which make
her ideal for driving sales in the European region,” says Hans Linnarson,
President and CEO of Husqvarna Group.

Hans Linnarson, President and CEO of Husqvarna Group, will be Acting Head of
Sales and Service Asia/Pacific.
