terms of voting rights that wish to participate in the Commit-
tee, together with the Chairman of the Electrolux Board and
one additional Board member.
The composition of the Nomination Committee shall be
based on shareholder statistics from Euroclear Sweden AB

represent shall be announced as soon as they have been
