                        the Company's own shares

The Board's proposal for decision by the Annual General Meeting
regarding purchase and authorization to sell the Company's own shares

A.   The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the
Board to decide on the purchase of the Company's own shares in
accordance with the following conditions.

1.   The purchases shall be made on Stockholmsbörsen.

2.   The authorization may be exercised on one or several occasions
prior to the next Annual General Meeting.

3.   The number of shares purchased may at no time exceed 10 percent of
the total number of shares outstanding in the Company.

4.   The shares shall be purchased at the market price prevailing on the
date of purchase, with a deviation that at no time exceeds the
registered price interval.

The objective
of the purchase of own shares is to adjust the Company's capital
structure.

B. The Board
proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board to, with
the right to waive the preferential rights of shareholders, decide on
the sale of the Company's own shares as payment in connection with the
acquisition of companies or operations and, with or without preferential
rights for shareholders, to decide on the sale of the Company's own
shares in a manner other than through Stockholmsbörsen in order to
finance the acquisition of companies or operations. In instances where
the sale of shares occurs and the preferential rights of shareholders
have been waived, compensation for the sold shares shall be made in an
amount that corresponds to the assessed market value. In other respects,
the following conditions apply.

1.   The authorization may be used on one or several occasions during
the period up to the next Annual General Meeting.

2.   The number of shares sold may at no time exceed 10 percent of the
total number of shares outstanding in the Company.

General Meeting on this agenda item will be available from the Company
at the following address: Henry Dunkers gata 2 in Trelleborg, Sweden,
and via the Group website at www.trelleborg.com as of April 10, 2003.

Proposals from the swedish association of share investors in regard to a
  nominating committee, a compensation committee and an audit committee

The Swedish Association of Share Investors has given notice of a
proposal according to which a Nominating Committee consisting of members
who are independent of the Company and who represent the Company's
owners at the Meeting shall be appointed by the Meeting. It will also be
proposed that a representative for the minor shareholders be included in
the Committee.

Together, shareholders representing approximately 65 percent of the
voting rights for all shares outstanding in the Company have advised
that they will move to reject such a proposal and will instead propose
that the Meeting decide that the nominating process be handled as
follows:

The Board Chairman shall be given the mandate to appoint a maximum of
five members from among the Company's major shareholders who, under the
Chairman's leadership, shall jointly produce a proposal for the Board to
present to the General Meeting for approval. Prior to the election of
the Board in 2004, the composition of this Nominating Committee shall be
announced in conjunction with the publication of the Company's report on
the third quarter of 2003.

The Swedish Association of Share Investors has also given notice of a
proposal according to which the Board shall be assigned by the Meeting
to appoint a Compensation Committee to prepare compensation agreements
for the President and other members of senior management. This proposal
is fully in accordance with the procedures already followed by the
Board.

The Swedish Association of Share Investors has also given notice of a
proposal according to which the Board shall be assigned by the Meeting
to appoint an Audit Committee that will function as a preparatory
subcommittee to the Board.

Together, shareholders representing approximately 65 percent of the
voting rights for all shares outstanding in the Company have advised
that they will move to reject such a proposal and will instead propose
that the current close contact with the auditors and all Board members
be continued.
