Swedish notice shall prevail.        

At the meeting, Lars Renström,
President and CEO, concluded on the development in 2011, a year which started
off with a strong growth in demand, resulting in a record high order intake in
the third quarter. The increasing macroeconomic uncertainty that characterized
both Europe and the US during the summer, however, began to have an impact in
the autumn, causing certain customers to adopt a cautious attitude toward new
investments. This development had a wider impact in the fourth quarter. Despite
an initial decline, 2011 turned out a very good year, with order intake totaling
SEK 28.7 billion, up 20 percent compared with 2010. Revenues amounted to SEK
28.6 billion, up 16 percent. The operating income increased significantly in
absolute terms and the operating margin was 18.5 percent.

The income

proposed dividend of SEK 3:25 per share was approved. Furthermore, the board’s
proposal for authorization to, at one or more occasions prior to the next Annual
General Meeting, buy back up to five percent of the outstanding shares in the
Company, was adopted.

Litzén, Anders Narvinger, Arne Frank, Finn Rausing, Jörn Rausing and Lars
Renström were re-elected. Anders Narvinger was appointed Chairman of the Board.
