Saab. For further information, please refer to page 36 of the Annual

Swedish Code of Corporate Governance
The Saab shares are admitted to trading at NASDAQ OMX Stock-
holm and Saab must therefore follow good practices in the securities
market, which includes an obligation to comply with the Swedish
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
Code of Corporate Governance (“the Code”). The Code is available
at www.bolagsstyrning.se
Saab applies the Code and strives to maintain a high standard in
its corporate governance. This Corporate Governance Report is in
accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Code, and
describes how Saab applied the Code during the nancial year 2012.
Moreover, the Annual General Meeting 2012 was planned and carried
out in accordance with the Code and the Annual General Meeting in
2013 will also be planned and carried out pursuant to the provisions
of the Code. Saab’s website has a special area for corporate govern-
ance issues, which is updated in accordance with the Code.
The Board annually issues a report on how the internal control of
nancial reporting is organised, which can be found at the end of this
report.
This Corporate Governance Report has been reviewed by the
company’s auditor pursuant to the Annual Accounts Act, see the
Auditor’s Report attached to the Corporate Governance Report.
Saab has not deviated from the provisions of the Code during
2012 and hence does not report any deviations from the Code.
