Electrolux comments on speculations on settlement


Electrolux comments on speculations on settlement in the GE Appliances case.
On July 1, 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) filed a Complaint in
Federal Court seeking to stop Electrolux proposed acquisition of the appliances
business of General Electric. Electrolux vigorously contests this effort by the
DOJ to oppose the transaction and remains confident in its assessment of the
competitive merits of this transaction and its favorable impact on consumers.
The review of the proposed acquisition has continued in a court procedure and
the trial begun on November 9, 2015. Electrolux expects the trial to conclude in
December and anticipates that the Court will reach its decision by late this
year or in January 2016, and if resolved favorably, it expects to close the
transaction soon after such resolution, following regulatory approvals.

Occasionally, disputes like this one are resolved by settlement. While
Electrolux may be willing to consider a reasonable settlement with DOJ,
Electrolux is currently not in settlement discussions with DOJ. Given the nature
of this matter, it cannot be ruled out that settlement discussions may arise or
that references to such discussions may be made by counsels of DOJ or Electrolux
within the court procedure. As the outcome of any such potential discussions is
inherently uncertain, Electrolux does not plan to make any further comments on
whether discussions have been or will be initiated, or the status thereof, until
it is relevant to provide further updates.
