Autoliv Swedish Depository Receipts: Changes to Terms and Conditions, ISIN-code, and Withholding Agent
As a result of Euroclear Sweden terminating its agreement to act as Withholding Agent, Autoliv, Inc. (NYSE: ALV) and (SSE: ALIVsdb) today announces that its Swedish Depository Receipts (SDRs) will be renamed as Autoliv, Inc. Swedish Depository Receipts (SDRs). The SDRs will receive a new ISIN[1] code as of February 29, 2024, with updated terms and conditions. Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB) will assume the role of Withholding Agent, in its capacity as the issuer of Autoliv Standard Depository Receipts. Due to the fact that Euroclear Sweden is no longer the Withholding Agent, it is necessary to update the ISIN code in order for SEB to act as the new Withholding Agent.. From the date the new ISIN is effective, it will no longer be possible for Autoliv SDRs to be held as owner registered holdings in a CSD account with Euroclear Sweden (Swedish: VP konto) as of the day the new ISIN takes effect. In case an owner registered holding in a CSD account, (i) it is necessary to transfer such holdings to a custody account with a bank or securities institution acting as a nominee for Euroclear Sweden before February 29, 2024, or (ii) such Autoliv SDRs will automatically be converted to Autoliv Common Stock, which is denominated in U.
