Executive Compensation

Compensation Committee ReportDiscussion and Analysis

This compensation discussion describes the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each of the Company's executive officers who served as named executive officers during the last completed fiscal year.

The Compensation Committee of the Board advises the Board regarding senior officers' compensation and administers the Company's cash and stock incentive compensation strategy. The purpose of this plan and theoverall objectives of the CommitteeCompany's compensation programs are to:

  • provide competitive compensation programs so as to be ableenable the Company to attract, retain and motivate management and top management talent,talent;
  • pay for performance, motivating both long-long and short-term performance on behalf of Company stockholders,the Company's stockholders;
  • place greater emphasis on at-risk incentive compensation than on fixed salaries, particularly for senior executives,executives;
  • base the incentive compensation of business unit or subsidiary executives on the performance of both their operations while including a component which recognizesand the overall performance of the Company to enhance the overall performance of the Company; and
  • join stockholderalign stockholders' and managementmanagement's interests.
To further these objectives,The Company's Compensation Committee engages third-party independent compensation consultants to benchmark comparable executive compensation levels. In 2006, the Company engaged Mercer and HRS to advise the Compensation Committee.

The principal elements of the Company's executive compensation of senior executive officers includes three components:program are (1) base salaries,salary, (2) annual non-equity bonus programs, and (3) a stock incentive program. The Committee has consulted with an independent compensation consulting firm for advice in regard to the total compensation of the Company's senior executive officers.

The Compensation Committee acts under a written charter first adopted and approved by the Board of Directors in 2002 and subsequently amended in December 2003. A copy of the Charter is available on the Company's Corporate Website at www.autoliv.com - Governance.

Base Salaries

We provide the opportunity for our named executive officers and other executives to earn a competitive annual base salary. We provide this opportunity to attract and retain an appropriate caliber of talent for the position over time, and to provide a base wage that is not subject to our performance risk.

The Committee recommendsCompany reviews base salaries for seniorits named executive officers annually and adjustments are based on position, individual performance and data on competitive comparable salaries received from independent compensation consultants position and individual performance.engaged by the Company.

Base salaries for senior executive officers are intended to represent about 50 % of the total of the three elements of total compensation mentioned above with the annual non-equity bonus calculated at base.

Annual Non-Equity Bonus ProgramsProgram

The Committee determined annual bonus payments for 2005 based on performance during 2005. Under the annualnon-equity bonus program applicable to senior executive officers awardis based on the attainment by the Company and applicable business units and subsidiaries of certain profit targets. It is measured on the earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) level and starts at 70% of previous year's EBIT with a base at 100% of previous year's EBIT and target at 130% of previous year's EBIT.

The Company's senior executive officers are eligible to receive non-equity incentive program payments based 100% on the profit target of the Company, while region and division managers generally are eligible to receive payments based 70% on the profit target of the Company and 30% on the profit target of the region or division. Presidents, Managing Directors and management team members in subsidiaries, regions and divisions are eligible to receive bonus payments based 60% on the profit target of the Company and 40% to the profit target of the Company, region or division. Business unit officers are eligible to receive bonus payments based 60% on the bonus related to the Company and 40% related to the two-year average of order intake from the business unit customers.

Award levels may range from zero to 100 %100% of the base salaries for senior executive officers. This bonus has traditionally been paid the year following the year in which it was earned.

In 2006, only the Company's Chief Executive Officers' award level could possibly have reached 100% of his base salary. Based on the above mentioned factors, bonus payments to the senior executive officers for 2006 will vary from 27% to 53% of their base salaries aswith a median of 39%. In 2006, about 125 senior executives participated in this program. For 2005, the beginning of the performance periods depending on salary grade and attainment of Company and applicable business unit and subsidiary profit targets as approved by the Committee. Based on these factors and the terms of such annual bonus programs, the Committee approved bonus payments to senior executive officers for 2005 varyingvaried from 24% to 50% of their base salaries with a median of 36%.

This annual bonus program is intended to represent about 20% for senior executive officer, and about 20-25% for other senior executives, respectively, of the total of the three elements of total compensation mentioned above with the annual non-equity bonus calculated at base.

The Company believes that the program's relation to an established profit measure parameter makes it easy to understand and follow, and easy to calculate and therefore provides a good motivational tool for participants.

Stock Incentive PlanProgram

For 2005,The Company believes that equity ownership in the Committee authorized stock optionCompany is important to provide our executive officers with long-term incentives to build value for our stockholders. Stock options and restricted stock units ("RSU") grantsalign employees incentives with shareholders since options have value only if the stock price increases over time, and RSU's increase in value when the stock price increases.

The Company also belives that RSUs assist to selected officersretain valuable executives since RSUs have a durational element of three years, i.e. they only vest after three years if the executive has not provided notice of resignation at that time.

Half of the value of the equity compensation is granted as stock options and half is granted as RSUs.

The Autoliv 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, has been approved by the stockholders of the Company and it is administered by the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee, typically in December of each year, makes recommendations to the Board for approval as regards the following year's grant date for stock options and RSUs and the total number of shares available for grants to all participants in that year. In prior years, the Compensation Committee had decided on a grant date as early as practicably possible in the grant year. In December 2006, the Compensation Committee determined that in order to enhance the Company's corporate governance procedures it would be a better practice going forward to delay the grant date until after the Company has published its subsidiaries. fourth quarter financial report in the first quarter of the following year.

The Compensation Committee makes a specific recommendation in regard to number of stock options and RSUs to be granted to the most senior executive officers, and otherwise delegates to the CEO to determine the grants to be made to other selected participants.

Information pertaining to the final grants to other selected participants is delivered to the Compensation Committee for review. This information is used by the Compensation Committee to construct future programs.

All stock options granted for 20052006 are for 10 year10-year terms with an exercise price equal to the marketclosing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant and become exercisable after one year of continued employment following the grant date. All RSU'sRSUs granted for 2006 vest after three years and are conditional upon the optionee not having given notice of termination of employment prior to such date. The RSUs are otherwise subject

Prior to 2006, the exercise price was equal to the termsaverage price on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant.

For senior executive officers, the yearly grants are intended to represent approximately 30% of total compensation. In 2006, there were 269 participants in the stock incentive program.


Pension Benefits

The Company has paid pension benefit premiums for Messrs. Westerberg, Lindquist, Jonzon and conditionsSvensson in accordance with customary Swedish practice and for Mr. Marsaud in accordance with customary French practice. Normal retirement age is 65. Mr. Westerberg has an agreement allowing retirement at the age of 60 with pension benefits amounting to 70% of base salary at retirement until the age of 65 and amounting to 50% of base salary after the age of 65. Pursuant to such agreement, the Company pays insurance premiums to insure the pension benefits of Mr. Westerberg for the period from the date of his retirement until the normal retirement age of 65 and thereafter.

Senior Executive Officers of the Company other than Mr. Westerberg and Mr. Marsaud may retire at the age of 60 with pension benefits amounting to 70% of base salary at retirement until the age of 65 and with complementary pension benefits after the age of 65 that are intended to provide pension benefits amounting to approximately 55% of base salary after the age of 65. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company pays insurance premiums on a linear basis to insure the pension benefits for the period from the date of retirement until normal retirement age of 65 and thereafter for complementary pension benefits.

The Company has determined that these benefits are consistent with benefit levels of other comparable companies. The Company used the independent consultants Max Matthiessen and Mercer to provide advice in regard to these issues.


Termination of Employment and Change of Control Severance Agreements

The Company provides the opportunity for certain of its named executive officers to be protected under the Stock Incentive Plan.severance and change of control provisions of their employment agreements. Senior Executive Officers have employment agreements with the Company that provide for a notice of termination of employment by the Company of between 24 and 30 months. Senior Executive officers received option grantsof the Company also have Change of Control Severance Agreements with the Company which in case of a termination provide for 2005 ranging from 3,000 shareslump sum payments following a Change of Control. These protections are provided to 30,000 shares,Senior Executive Officers to attract and received RSU grants ranging from 1,000 sharesretain an appropriate caliber of talent for the positions and to 10,000 shares, (see "Option Grantsencourage executives to remain focused on the Company's business in Last Fiscal Year").the event of rumored or actual fundamental corporate changes. Analyses indicate that our termination and change of control provisions are consistent with provisions and benefit levels of other peer group companies, and they have been determined to be reasonable.

See "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control" for more information.

Chief Executive Officer

The compensation paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lars Westerberg, for 20052006 was determined based on information on competitive comparable compensation levels of the peer group companies received from an independent compensation consultant.

For 2005,2006, the Compensation Committee approved a stock option grant of 30,000 shares and a RSU grant of 10,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Mr. Westerberg, a cash compensation at an annual rate of SEK 7,500,000 (USD 1,004,998)8,250,000 ($1,134,408), and an annual performancenon-equity bonus of SEK 3,750,000 (USD 502,499)4,125,000 ($567,204) with a maximum of SEK 7,500,000 (USD 1,004,998)8,250,000 ($1,134,408). The annual non-equity bonus for Mr. Westerberg for the year 2006 will amount to SEK 4,331,250 ($595,565) calculated as described above under "Annual Non-equity Bonus Programs", and will be paid in 2007.

Limitation on Deductibility of Certain Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code") generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for annual compensation over $1 million paid to their chief executive officers and the four other most highly compensated executive officers that is not "performance-based" (as defined in the Code).

It is the Committee'scommittee's general policy to avoid the loss of tax deductibility whenever compliance with Section 162(m) would be consistent with the Company's incentive compensation objectives.

Consequently, the employee incentive compensation programs in which the Company's most highly compensated officers participate have been structured to comply with the Code's definition of performance-based compensation. To qualify as performance-based under the Code, compensation payments must be made pursuant to a plan that is administered by a committee of outside directors and must be based on achieving objective performance goals. In addition, the material terms of the plan must be disclosed to and approved by stockholders and the Committee must certify that the performance goals were achieved before payments can be awarded.

Notwithstanding its general policy, however, the Committee retains the discretion to authorize incentive payments that may not be deductible if it believes that doing so would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.
