Agreement reached with former Trelleborg President

Agreement reached with former Trelleborg President At the Trelleborg AB Board Meeting on February 24, 1999, the Company's auditors presented a preliminary report regarding such matters as hunting trip arrangements and the former president's utilization of the Company aircraft. Certain elements of a private nature could not be ruled out. To avoid future discussions about the nature of the costs in question, former president Kjell Nilsson has chosen to pay a cash sum of SEK 475,000 in compensation to Trelleborg in accordance with a specially reached agreement. The agreement has been examined by the Company's auditors, who raised no objections. The special audit is therefore concluded. Further questions should be addressed to Trelleborg AB's Vice President, Corporate Communications, Leif Öberg, phone: +46 410 670 00 or mobile: +46 708 540 540. www.trelleborg.com ------------------------------------------------------------ Please visit http://www.bit.se for further information The following files are available for download: http://www.bit.se/bitonline/1999/03/08/19990308BIT00480/bit0001.doc http://www.bit.se/bitonline/1999/03/08/19990308BIT00480/bit0002.pdf
