PROPOSAL 2
Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation
We are requesting that our stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This proposal was supported by approximately 97.0%, 97.1%, and 97.6% of the votes cast in each of 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Please see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, Summary Compensation Table, and other tables and disclosures beginning on page 60 of this Proxy Statement for a full discussion of our executive compensation program. The table below highlights the 2024 total direct compensation for each of our Named Executive Officers.
Named Executive Officer | Salary ($)(1)(2) | Annual Bonus ($)(1)(2) | Stock Awards ($)(1)(3)
Mikael Bratt | 1,217,983 | 1,036,194 | 934,427
Fredrik Westin | 563,185 | 428,020 | 300,000
Magnus Jarlegren | 720,142 | 550,908 | 250,000
Kevin Fox | 604,478 | 459,403 | 400,000
Anthony Nellis | 635,472 | 434,663 | 350,000

(1) | Information included in the table above is not intended as a substitute for amounts reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 60.

(2) | For currency exchange rates used, see footnote 1 to the Summary Compensation Table on page 60 of this Proxy Statement.

(3) | These amounts represent the full value of the grant which is different from the value reported for 2024 in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 60 of this Proxy Statement, which reports the value of restricted stock units (RSUs) and of one-third each of the 2022, 2023, and 2024 performance stock units (PSUs) granted in accordance with applicable accounting rules. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee considers the full value of the grant in this table in its determination of annual compensation.

Compensation Governance Highlights

■ The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee ("LDCC") is composed of independent directors. ■ We maintain stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, and our non-employee directors. ■ The LDCC retains an independent consultant who does no other work for the company. ■ The LDCC reviews total compensation calculations when making compensation decisions. ■ The Board adopted an Equity Grant Policy in 2024 to govern the timing and mechanics of equity grants. ■ We have consistently used PSUs since 2019. PSUs are 100% for the CEO and 75% for other executives of the value of long-term equity incentive grants. ■ Since 2022, our PSUs include a performance metric related to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. ■ Regular RSUs and PSUs granted to employees have a minimum three-year vesting period. ■ The LDCC conducts an annual assessment of potential compensation-related risk to the Company, including incentive arrangements below the executive level. ■ All Named Executive Officers are part of defined contribution retirement arrangements. |  | ■ No stock options have been granted since 2015 and none are outstanding. ■ Our equity plan prohibits the repricing of stock options without stockholder approval. ■ The exercise price of options historically granted under our equity plan is never less than the fair market value (as defined in our equity plan) of our stock on the date of grant. ■ Since 2019, all equity granted includes double-trigger acceleration of unvested equity in the event of a qualifying termination following a change in control in which outstanding awards are assumed by a publicly traded surviving entity. ■ There are no U.S. tax code §280G excise tax "gross ups." ■ The change in control definition contained in our equity plan is not a "liberal" definition that would be activated on only stockholder approval of a transaction. ■ Our Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy permits the Board to clawback and cause the forfeiture of executive compensation in a broader set of circumstances than the mandatory requirements of the NYSE listing standards.

If you requested printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, or have a printed proxy card, you may also vote by filling out the proxy card and returning it in the envelope provided. You may also vote in-person or electronically at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” please refer to the instructions provided by your bank, broker, or other nominee for voting your shares. If you wish to vote in-person or electronically at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from the organization that holds your shares and have proof of ownership of shares of our common stock as of the Record Date.

How Your Shares Will Be Voted

If you properly complete your proxy card and send it to the Company prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting, or submit your proxy electronically by Internet or by telephone before voting closes, your proxy (one of the individuals named in the proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board: (i) to elect the director nominees listed in “Election of Directors,” (ii) to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, and (iii) for the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young AB as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2025 fiscal year.

Voting on Matters Not in the Proxy Statement

The deadlines have passed for stockholders to nominate directors for election to the Board and for other stockholder proposals to be brought before the Annual Meeting. Thus, only the Company may substitute director nominees or bring other business before the Annual Meeting. The Company does not plan to substitute any director nominee, and the Company does not intend to raise any matter other than those described in this Proxy Statement at the Annual Meeting.

Autoliv |  | 10 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

However, administrative and similar matters can arise at any annual meeting. To address such unforeseen matters, your proxy may exercise his or her discretion and authority to vote on such matters incidental to the conduct of the Annual Meeting only. Note that this authority is limited by applicable law, the proxy rules of the SEC, and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).

Revoking Proxies or Changing Your Vote

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting. Prior to the applicable cutoff time, you may change your vote on a later date via the Internet or by telephone (in which case only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted), by signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting in person or virtually and voting in person or electronically. However, your attendance at the Annual Meeting either in-person or virtually will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you properly vote at the Annual Meeting or specifically request that your prior proxy be revoked by delivering a written notice of revocation to Autoliv at its mailing address prior to the Annual Meeting.

Voting Rights of Holders of SDRs

Holders of Autoliv’s Swedish Depository Receipts (“SDRs”) are entitled to vote the shares of common stock of the Company underlying their SDRs at the 2025 Annual Meeting as if they directly held the common stock of the Company. Therefore, each holder of SDRs is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock underlying each SDR held on the Record Date. To have their votes counted at the 2025 Annual Meeting, SDR holders must give instructions as to the exercise of their voting rights by proxy or attend the Annual Meeting either in-person or virtually and represent their shares of common stock of the Company underlying the SDRs at the Annual Meeting.

Non-Voting Shares, Abstentions and Broker “Non-Votes”

Shares held by persons attending the Annual Meeting but not voting, shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions to a proposal, and broker “non-votes” will be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on Proposals 1 and 2 set forth below. Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote on Proposal 3 set forth below.

Vote Required to Approve Each Proposal at the Annual Meeting

The following summary describes the vote required to approve each of the proposals at the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL 1
Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. However, pursuant to the Autoliv, Inc. Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director nominee in an uncontested election fails to receive the approval of a majority of the votes cast on his or her election by the stockholders, the nominee shall promptly offer his or her resignation to the Board for consideration. A committee consisting of the Board’s independent directors (which will exclude any director who is required to offer his or her resignation) shall consider all relevant factors and decide on behalf of the Board the action to be taken with respect to such offered resignation and will determine whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Company will publicly disclose the Board’s decision regarding any resignation offered under these circumstances with an explanation of how the decision was reached, including, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the offered resignation. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.
PROPOSAL 2
The non-binding advisory resolution to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect in determining the outcome of the proposal.

Autoliv |  | 11 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

PROPOSAL 3
The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young AB as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the ratification. Although brokers have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification, if a broker submits a non-vote, it will not be counted for purposes of the ratification but will be counted for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

Any other proposal brought before the Annual Meeting (if any) will be decided by a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Consequently, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the matter and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the matter.

Proposal 1 – Election of Directors

The Company’s Third Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) provide that the size of the Board shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board. The Board has currently fixed the size of the Board at twelve members.

Mikael Bratt, Laurie Brlas, Jan Carlson, Leif Johansson, Adriana Karaboutis, Franz-Josef Kortüm, Frédéric Lissalde, Xiaozhi Liu, Gustav Lundgren, Martin Lundstedt, and Ted Senko, whose present terms will expire at the time of the Annual Meeting, are nominees for election at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Mr. Gustav Lundgren has been nominated by the Board to be elected at the 2025 Annual Meeting pursuant to the terms of a Cooperation Agreement between the Company and Cevian Capital II GP Limited (“Cevian”), and its affiliates (the “Cooperation Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, Mr. Gustav Lundgren will offer his resignation from the Board if Cevian no longer owns at least 8% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The Cooperation Agreement is described in further detail in the section entitled “Agreements with Stockholders - Cooperation Agreement with Cevian Capital II GP Limited” below.

Mr. Hasse Johansson, a current director, has reached the mandatory retirement age set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and is not eligible to stand for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Hasse Johansson’s service as a director will end at the Annual Meeting. Effective immediately following the closing of the polls for the election of directors at the Annual Meeting, the Board will reduce its size to eleven members.

If elected, the above nominees would serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and until her or his successor is elected and qualified, or until her or his earlier retirement, resignation, disqualification, removal, or death. If any director nominee should become unavailable for election prior to the Annual Meeting, an event that currently is not anticipated by the Board, either the proxies will be voted in favor of the election of a substitute nominee or nominees proposed by the Board or the number of directors may be reduced accordingly. Each nominee has agreed to serve if elected and the Board has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH NOMINEE.

Autoliv |  | 19 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Corporate Governance

Stockholder Engagement Efforts

The Company engages with the Company’s stockholders throughout the year to ensure that management and the Board understand and consider the issues that matter most to them, to solicit their views and feedback on various matters, and to provide perspective on the Company’s policies and practices.

During 2024, members of the Company’s management met with certain stockholders after each quarterly report to listen to their concerns and positions on a variety of topics, including performance, strategy, capital allocation, corporate governance, human capital management, compensation, environmental and sustainability efforts, and other matters. Management met with more than 600 investors. These meetings included one-on-one meetings, group meetings, and participation in investor conferences.

These meetings allowed management to engage with shareholders representing more than 70% of the outstanding shares in 2024. Key topics discussed included the Company’s growth, financial performance, and strategic initiatives. The Company values the feedback received during these interactions and has taken several actions in response to shareholder input, such as enhancing our sustainability and financing reporting.

Sustainability Governance

Ultimate oversight of the Company’s sustainability activities lies with the Board of Directors. The Board sets the direction for sustainability strategy and regularly monitors progress of Autoliv’s sustainability strategy and targets through its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board reviews and approves the Code of Conduct, Annual and Sustainability Report, and the Modern Slavery Act Statement.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives quarterly reports and presentations from management on the sustainability program. Implementation responsibility for sustainability lies with the Executive Management Team (“EMT”). The EMT has appointed a Sustainability Board charged with providing direction and oversight. The Sustainability Board consists of the CEO and other EMT members and meets at least quarterly. The Sustainability Board reviews and approves Autoliv’s sustainability strategy as well as its annual and long-term plans, targets and policies for key topics, and monitors implementation. Responsibility for execution on sustainability activities and targets lies with the line organization and is regularly monitored through management reporting. According to Autoliv’s Key Behaviors, we expect every employee to take ownership on sustainability topics by proactively contributing with improvement ideas as well as by following company policies and standards.

Sustainability-related risks such as product safety, climate change, natural resources scarcity, environmental compliance, health and safety and other labor rights, business ethics, and supply chain sustainability are included in the overall enterprise risk management framework and regularly assessed how they relate to business risks such as legal proceedings, regulatory changes, contingent liabilities, supply chain disruptions, and operational disruptions.

Sustainability Program

Guided by our vision of Saving More Lives, the Company’s mission is to provide world class, life-saving solutions for mobility and society. Sustainability is an integral part of our business strategy and an important driver for market differentiation and stakeholder value creation, helping to ensure that our business will continue to thrive and contribute to sustainable development in the long term. To truly be a driving force in sustainable mobility, we strive to systematically assess and to manage key impacts, risks and opportunities to society and the environment related to our business, operations, products, and supply chain. We also engage with our customers to ensure that we are part of driving the transition to low-carbon and circular mobility, thus realizing new business potential.

The Company’s sustainability approach is based on four focus areas, each consisting of broad ambitions and more specific near-term targets. These areas represent the strongest links to business risks and opportunities as well as impacts on key stakeholder groups, society, and the environment. All areas represent global challenges where we believe that our work can make a positive difference, through our ways of working or by inspiring and collaborating with others. We are a signatory of the UN Global Compact and our work and policies such as the Code of Conduct are aligned with international frameworks such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) core conventions and the OECD Guidelines.

Autoliv |  | 21 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Board Independence

The Board believes that, generally, it should have no fewer than seven and no more than eleven directors, absent special circumstances.

The Board has determined that all the director nominees, except Mr. Bratt, are independent directors under the applicable rules of the NYSE, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. In making its independence determinations, the Board reviewed (i) information regarding relevant relationships, arrangements or transactions between the Company and each director or parties affiliated with such director, (ii) Company records and (iii) publicly available information. In this regard, the Board considered the following relationships:

| ■ | Mr. Bratt is not independent because he is a current officer of the Company.

| ■ | Mr. Lundstedt is the President of Volvo AB and the Chief Executive Officer of The Volvo Group, a global truck and commercial vehicle manufacturer, and Autoliv is a supplier to The Volvo Group. The amount received from The Volvo Group did not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of The Volvo Group’s consolidated gross revenues. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Lundstedt is an independent director.

Other than as set forth above, the Board has determined that none of the independent directors has a relationship with the Company other than as a director and/or stockholder of the Company or a director of another company.

Retirement Age Policy and Non-Employee Director Tenure

It is the general policy of the Company that a director who has attained the age of 75 years during her or his term will not stand for re-election at the next annual meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors may grant a waiver for a director to stand for re-election and, if such a waiver is granted, the reasons for that waiver will be disclosed in the relevant proxy statement. No such waiver has been granted for any of the directors of the Board.

For each director nomination recommendation, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the issue of continuing director tenure and takes steps as may be appropriate to ensure that the Board maintains an openness to new ideas and a willingness to critically re-examine the status quo. An individual director’s repeated nomination is dependent upon such director’s performance evaluation, as well as a suitability review, each to be conducted by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regarding each director nomination recommendation. The average tenure of the non-employee directors nominated for election at the Annual Meeting measured at the Annual Meeting date since first appointment is eight years and the median tenure is six years, with five new directors within the last five years.

Autoliv |  | 22 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Board Refreshment

We routinely assess the composition of our Board to ensure we have the right mix of attributes, experiences, qualifications, and skills to maximize our Board’s potential. We believe the Company, our stockholders, and our partners benefit from continuity of longer-tenured directors complemented by the fresh perspectives of newer directors. Over the last five years, our Board has undergone significant refreshment, resulting in a lower average tenure.

Core Director Skills

The Board considers the following to be nine (9) core skills necessary to effectively oversee management and implement the Company’s strategy. In addition, the Board values directors with experience successfully leading and serving on the boards of other large, complex businesses.

Onboarding and Continuing Education for Directors

All new directors follow an onboarding program that is approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that includes meetings with management, review of key policies and programs, and visits to the Company’s key manufacturing and management locations. All directors are encouraged to pursue relevant educational programs for public company directors on key emerging topics and the Company highlights these opportunities for directors. Under the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the expenses relating to participating in pre-approved educational opportunities may be reimbursed by the Company.

Board and Committee Evaluations

The Board has an ongoing process in place to regularly assess its performance. A formal evaluation of the Board and its committees is conducted on an annual basis to solicit feedback and determine appropriate action based on that feedback. The Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee leads the Board’s annual self-evaluation which considers the following topics among others:

| ■ | Board/Committee oversight responsibilities
| ■ | Board/Committee composition
| ■ | Board/Committee effectiveness
| ■ | Board/Committee materials
| ■ | Board/Committee meeting effectiveness

Autoliv |  | 24 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

The results of the Board self-evaluation are reviewed by the full Board during an executive session. When appropriate, changes are implemented to improve Board performance and responsiveness. Similarly, the Board committees conduct their own self-evaluations led by that committee’s Chair and the results are reviewed in a committee meeting.

| 1. | Self-Evaluation Process and Materials Finalized: Proposed process and materials are reviewed and approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in November of the year to be evaluated.

| 2. | Process Begins: Self-Evaluation materials for Board and Committees distributed in January with directions from the Chair of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

| 3. | Feedback: Board self-evaluation feedback is provided directly to the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; early feedback is provided directly to the Chairs of the committees.

| 4. | Formal Self-Evaluation/Findings: Board, and committee as relevant, holds a robust discussion of the feedback and findings in the February meetings.

| 5. | Follow-Up: If necessary, the Board or committee implements actions, as appropriate.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Board Leadership

The Board is responsible for selecting the Company’s Chairman of the Board (the “Chairman”) and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The Corporate Governance Guidelines permit the Board to determine the most appropriate leadership structure for the Company at any given time and give the Board the ability to choose a chairman that it deems best for the Company. The Board periodically evaluates the Company’s leadership structure to determine what structure is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders based on the current circumstances and needs of the Company.

The Board currently has an independent, non-CEO Chairman. The Board continues to believe it is in the Company’s best interests for Mr. Carlson to serve as Chairman because his familiarity with the Company’s business enables him to effectively lead the Board in its discussion, consideration, and execution of the Company’s strategy.

Autoliv |  | 25 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Risk Oversight

The Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of risk management of the Company with various aspects of risk oversight delegated to its committees. The Company’s management team is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company’s risk governance and risk programs. In its meetings, the Board receives regular reports from various Board committees and management, including the CEO, the CFO, and General Counsel, regarding the main strategic, operational, and financial risks the Company is facing and the steps that management is taking to address and mitigate such risks. Additionally, the Board receives periodic risk-related updates from other members of management, as necessary. Below is a summary of the key risk oversight responsibilities that the Board has delegated to its committees.

■ | Audit and Risk Committee: The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for (i) monitoring financial risk and discussing risk oversight and management as part of its obligations under the NYSE’s listing standards; (ii) reviewing the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, including those related to internally and externally disclosing cybersecurity risks and incidents; (iii) monitoring legal and regulatory risks and other compliance risks, including those related to ethical practices and information technology and cybersecurity; (iv) overseeing the Company’s independent accountants’ qualifications, independence and performance; (v) reviewing the performance of the Company’s internal audit department; and (vi) routine oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and practices with at least semi-annual reports to the Board. As part of its oversight of IT security/cybersecurity matters, the Audit and Risk Committee receives information on at least a quarterly basis, supplemented by a briefing from management on at least a semi-annual basis, on IT security/cybersecurity matters, including applicable updates on IT security/ cybersecurity training programs and the results of external assessments.
■ | Leadership Development and Compensation Committee: The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee oversees the Company’s succession planning programs and policies related to recruiting, retaining, and developing management. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee also has oversight responsibilities for the Company’s human capital management initiatives, including with respect to diversity, equity and inclusion, employee engagement, and workplace health and safety and cultural initiatives. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee periodically receives reports from management on the implementation and results of the Company’s human capital management programs. The Company also occasionally conducts employee feedback surveys designed to measure employee engagement and evaluate employee programs which the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee reviews. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee has reviewed with management the design and operation of our incentive compensation arrangements for senior management, including executive officers, to determine whether such programs might encourage inappropriate risk-taking that could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the features of the Company’s compensation program that are designed to mitigate compensation-related risk, such as the performance objectives and target levels for incentive awards (which are based on overall Company performance), and the Company’s compensation recoupment policy. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee concluded that any risks arising from the Company’s compensation plans, policies and practices are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. For additional information regarding compensation risk, see page 56 of this Proxy Statement.
■ | Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees our risks related to corporate governance practices and procedures, director independence, related party transactions, director succession planning and board composition, and sustainability, social, ethical, and environmental activities.

Board Meetings

The Board met four times during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Board also acted by written consent three times during the year. All directors serving during 2024 participated in at least 80% of the total number of meetings of the Board and committees on which they served. Following each of the meetings of the full Board, the independent directors met in executive session without management participating, for a total of four times in 2024.

Autoliv |  | 26 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Board Compensation

Directors who are employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries do not receive separate compensation for service on the Board or its committees. Non-employee directors receive an annual board retainer, and the non- employee Chairman of the Board also receives a supplemental annual retainer as described below. The committee chairs and committee members receive compensation in addition to the standard non-employee director retainer.

Our pay philosophy for non-employee directors is to focus on US peers for best attracting and retaining a global board, with median market pay-level positioning.

The Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy provides (i) for semi-annual payments in arrears for a service year that runs from annual meeting to annual meeting, and (ii) that more than one-half of the annual base retainer will be paid in the form of RSUs, which RSUs will be granted prospectively on the date of the annual meeting and will vest on the earlier of (a) the date of the next annual meeting, or (b) the one-year anniversary of the grant date. New non- employee directors appointed to the Board between stockholder meetings receive a pro-rated grant at the time of joining for the estimated number of full months served in the service year.

The Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Policy specifies a guideline for each non-employee director to acquire and hold shares of the Company’s common stock or SDRs in an amount equivalent to five times the cash component of the annual Board retainer. Our Non-Employee Chairman is required to acquire and hold shares equivalent to five times the cash component of the Board retainer and the cash component of the Non-Employee Chairman annual supplement retainer. All non-employee directors elected prior to 2020 have achieved the guideline. All directors have six years after appointment to reach the ownership targets.

The Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy was updated effective May 2024. Compensation levels for the non- employee directors elected in 2024 are as follows:

Annual Base Retainer | Cash | Restricted Stock Units (Grant Date Value)
All Non-Employee Directors | $132,500 | $152,500
Annual Supplemental Retainers |  |
Non-Employee Chairman | $90,000 | $90,000
Lead Independent Director(1) | $40,000 | —
Audit and Risk Committee Chair | $30,000 | —
Leadership Development and Compensation Committee Chair | $20,000 | —
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair | $20,000 | —
Audit and Risk Committee Member | $10,000 |
Leadership Development and Compensation Committee Member | $7,500 |
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Member | $7,500 |

(1) No Lead Independent Director was appointed for the 2024-2025 Board service year.

Non-employee directors can elect to defer payment of a pre-determined percentage of their equity compensation under the Autoliv, Inc. 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock-Related Compensation Plan. In 2024, none of the directors elected to defer any of her or his equity compensation.

Policy on Attending the Annual Meeting

Under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Company’s policy is for all directors to attend the Annual Meeting. All directors elected at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders participated in the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

Related Person Transactions

As a general matter, the Company prefers to avoid related person transactions (as defined below). The Company recognizes, however, that certain related person transactions may not be inconsistent with the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company’s policy is that all related person transactions must be reviewed and pre-approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. As provided in the Related Person Transactions Policy, a “Related Person Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company (including any of its subsidiaries) was, is or will be a participant and in which any “Related Person” (as defined in the Related Person Transactions Policy) had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest with certain exceptions. In determining whether to approve a related person transaction, the Audit and Risk Committee considers all of the known relevant facts and circumstances, including the benefit of the transaction to the Company, the terms of the agreement with the Related Person, the possible impact on a director’s independence, the availability of other sources for goods or services comparable to those provided by the Related Person, and any other information regarding the transaction or the Related Person that may be material.

Insider Trading Policy

The Company has adopted an Insider Trading Policy that is applicable to directors, officers and employees. While the Company is not subject to the Insider Trading Policy, the Company does not trade in its securities when it is in possession of material nonpublic information other than pursuant to previously adopted Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The Insider Trading Policy was filed as Exhibit 19 with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 20, 2025.

Agreements with Stockholders

Cooperation Agreement with Cevian

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Cevian Capital II GP Limited (“Cevian”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to nominate Ms. Min Liu for election to the Board at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. The Company agreed to nominate Ms. Min Liu or a replacement designee of Cevian at future annual meetings of Autoliv to elect directors, subject to the terms and conditions of the Cooperation Agreement. Ms. Min Liu resigned from the Board in August 2022 at which time Mr. Gustav Lundgren was appointed to the vacant position in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement.

The nomination of Mr. Lundgren for election at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and his inclusion on future slates of directors during the Standstill Period (defined below) is conditioned upon Cevian owning at least 8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Mr. Lundgren will offer his resignation from the Board if Cevian no longer owns at least 8% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of Autoliv.

Under the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, Cevian agreed to certain standstill restrictions including restrictions on Cevian (i) acquiring more than 19.9% of the common stock of Company, (ii) soliciting or granting proxies to vote shares of the Company’s common stock, (iii) initiating stockholder proposals for consideration by the Company’s stockholders, (iv) nominating directors for election to the Board, (v) making public announcements or communications regarding a plan or proposal to the Board, including its management plans, and (vi) submitting proposals for or offers of certain extraordinary transactions involving the Company, in each case, subject to certain qualifications or exceptions.

The foregoing standstill restrictions began upon Ms. Min Liu’s election to the Board and terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) 30 days following the time Mr. Lundgren (or his replacement, as applicable) no longer serves on the Company’s Board, (ii) the fifth business day after Cevian delivers written notice the Company of a material breach of the Cooperation Agreement by the Company if such breach is not cured within the notice period, (iii) the announcement by the Company of a definitive agreement with respect to certain transactions that would result in the acquisition by any person or group of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, or (iv) the commencement of certain tender or exchange offers which if consummated would result in the acquisition by any person or group of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Standstill Period”). The Cooperation Agreement will terminate upon the expiration of the Standstill Period or any other date established by mutual written agreement of the parties.

Autoliv |  | 29 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

The Cooperation Agreement contains mutual non-disparagement provisions and requires Cevian to keep confidential any non-public information it receives by reason of Mr. Lundgren’s role as a director and to abstain from trading in securities in violation of applicable law while in possession of confidential or material non-public information. The Cooperation Agreement is governed by Delaware law. The parties agree that any legal action related to the Cooperation Agreement will be brought in the federal or state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware.

Committees of the Board

There are three standing committees of the Board: the (i) Audit and Risk Committee, (ii) Leadership Development and Compensation Committee, and (iii) Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that all members of the Board’s standing committees qualify as independent directors under the applicable rules of the NYSE, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. While no formal policy exists regarding the attendance of the CEO and the Chairman at committee meetings, the practice of the Board is that the CEO and the Chairman are routinely invited to attend committee meetings and excuse them when matters relating to them are discussed or when the committees go into executive session. The following table shows the composition of the committees of the Board:

| Present

The Board may establish such other committees as it deems appropriate, in accordance with the Company’s By-laws. In 2019, the Board formed the Funding Committee, which is not a standing committee but a special committee that meets only as needed. The sole purpose is to act on behalf of the Board with respect to renewals and issuances under the Company’s European Medium Term Note Programme (the “EMTN”).

Audit and Risk Committee Report

The Audit and Risk Committee of the Board is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions, the financial reporting process, internal controls, legal and regulatory compliance program, and risk management, including those relevant to the Company’s information technology environment. The committee is directly responsible for the selection, appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit and Risk Committee acts pursuant to a written charter. The committee’s current charter is posted on the Company’s website at www.autoliv.com – Company – Governance – Committees and can also be obtained free of charge in print by request from the Company using the contact information below. Each member of the Audit and Risk Committee is “independent” as defined in, and is qualified to serve on the committee pursuant to, the rules of the NYSE, the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Each member is financially literate and possesses accounting or related financial management expertise, and Mr. Senko and Ms. Brlas have each been determined by the Board to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. Pursuant to the charter of the Audit and Risk Committee, no member of the Audit and Risk Committee may serve on the audit committee of more than two other public companies unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such Audit and Risk Committee member to effectively serve on the Audit and Risk Committee.

Meeting agendas are established by the Audit and Risk Committee Chair. In 2024, the Audit and Risk Committee held separate private sessions with the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Partners, Vice President of Group Internal Audit, and the Chief Financial Officer.

The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for reviewing with management the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures related to internally reporting and processing information and cybersecurity risks and incidents to ensure that such information is reported to the appropriate personnel to enable senior management to make timely and appropriate disclosure decisions with respect to such information. The committee also oversees the general compliance and information security compliance training programs. In implementing its oversight, the Audit and Risk Committee receives at least quarterly updates from senior management.

The Audit and Risk Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed under the applicable auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm provided to the Audit and Risk Committee the written disclosures required by the PCAOB’s applicable requirements regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit and Risk Committee concerning independence. The Audit and Risk Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Audit and Risk Committee reviews and oversees the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and has concluded that the independent registered public accounting firm’s provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Audit and Risk Committee evaluates the performance of the independent registered accounting firm and is satisfied with its performance.

The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit and Risk Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 with the Company’s management and independent registered public accounting firm. The Company’s management is responsible for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Ernst and Young AB has been retained as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm continuously since May 1997 and in the same capacity for Autoliv AB since 1984. The members of the Audit and Risk Committee and our Board recommend the continued retention of Ernst and Young to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2025.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit and Risk Committee recommended to the Board (and the Board approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, for filing with the SEC.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee further advises the Board on composition and procedures of committees and is responsible for maintaining the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and overseeing the evaluation of the Board and its committees and members of the Company’s management. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board also periodically reviews the significant sustainability, social, ethical, and environmental activities of the Corporation.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee acts pursuant to a written charter. A copy of the committee’s charter is available on the Company’s website at www.autoliv.com – Company – Governance –– Committees and can also be obtained free of charge in print by request from the Company using the contact information below. Each of the members of the committee is “independent” as defined in, and is qualified to serve on the committee pursuant to, the applicable rules of the NYSE, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered and recommended that Mr. Mikael Bratt, Ms. Laurie Brlas, Mr. Jan Carlson, Mr. Leif Johansson, Ms. Adriana Karaboutis, Mr. Franz-Josef Kortüm, Mr. Frédéric Lissalde, Dr. Xiaozhi Liu, Mr. Gustav Lundgren, Mr. Martin Lundstedt, and Mr. Ted Senko be nominated for election by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider a director candidate nominated by a stockholder provided such nomination is submitted to the committee within the period set forth in Article II, Section 6 of the By-Laws. In considering candidates submitted by stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the candidate’s qualifications.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee understands the importance of and seeks a Board of Directors of individuals with a diverse range of experiences, qualifications, views, and backgrounds. When considering possible candidates for election as a director, the committee evaluates whether a candidate has (i) attained a position of leadership in the candidate’s area of expertise, (ii) business and financial experience relevant to the Company, (iii) demonstrated sound business judgment, (iv) expertise relevant to the Company’s lines of business, (v) independence from management, (vi) the ability to serve on standing committees, and (vii) the ability to serve the interests of all stockholders. The committee also considers attributes such as diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, and cultural background when selecting director nominees and seeks director nominees that reflect the global operations of the Company. The current Board consists of directors who are citizens of, or reside in, multiple countries including China, France, Germany, Sweden, and the U.S. and include directors with a diverse range of backgrounds, perspectives, and management, operating, finance and engineering skills and experiences. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee continues to look for opportunities to further progress its diversity initiatives and attract qualified diverse candidates whose expertise and personal characteristics align with the Company’s long-term business strategy. Although the Company has not adopted specific targets, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will continue to consider the level of representation of women and other diverse candidates on the Board when making recommendations for nominees to the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically engages firms that specialize in identifying director candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also, from time to time, identifies potential director nominees by asking current directors and executive officers to notify the committee if they become aware of persons meeting the criteria described above. As described above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also consider candidates recommended by stockholders. Once a person has been identified by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as a potential candidate, the committee collects and reviews publicly available information regarding the person to determine whether further consideration should be given to the person’s candidacy. If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines that the candidate warrants further consideration, the Chair of the committee or another member of the committee will contact such person. Generally, if the person expresses a willingness to be considered to serve on the Board, the Nominating and Corporate

Autoliv |  | 34 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Leadership Development and Compensation Committee Duties, Procedures and Policies

The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee acts pursuant to a written charter. The charter is posted on the Company’s website at www.autoliv.com – Company – Governance – Committees and can also be obtained free of charge in print by request from the Company using the contact information below. The Board has determined each member of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee to be “independent” as defined in, and is qualified to serve on the committee pursuant to, the rules of the NYSE, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.

The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee is responsible for (i) reviewing annually the Company’s executive compensation plans in light of the Company’s goals and objectives of such plans; (ii) evaluating annually the performance of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) in light of the goals and objectives of the Company’s executive compensation plans and, together with the other independent directors, determining, and approving the CEO’s compensation level based on this evaluation; (iii) evaluating annually the performance of the other executive officers of the Company in light of the goals and objectives of the Company’s executive compensation plans, and setting the compensation of such other executive officers based on this evaluation; (iv) evaluating annually the appropriate level of compensation for Board and committee service by non-employee directors; (v) reviewing and approving any severance or termination arrangements to be made with any executive officer of the Company; (vi) reviewing perquisites or other personal benefits to the Company’s executive officers and directors and recommending any changes to the Board; (vii) developing the Company’s plans for management succession and recruiting, retaining, and developing management; (viii) reviewing and discussing with management the CD&A, beginning on page 47 of this Proxy Statement, and based on that review and discussion, recommending to the Board that the CD&A be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K; (ix) preparing the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee Report for inclusion in the annual proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K; (x) reviewing the description of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee’s process and procedures for the consideration and determination of executive officer and non-employee director compensation to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K; (xi) reviewing the results of the most recent stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation and recommending to the Board the frequency of such vote; and (xii) performing such duties and responsibilities as may be assigned by the Board under the terms of the Company’s general compensation plans and other employee benefit plans, including oversight of compensation-related risk to the Company.

The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee from time to time uses independent compensation consultants to provide advice and ongoing recommendations regarding executive compensation. In 2024, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners (“Meridian”) as its independent advisor with respect to executive and non-employee director compensation matters. In 2024, the Company also engaged Willis Towers Watson Consulting AB (“Towers Watson”) and Mercer Sweden AB (“Mercer”) as a compensation data providers. For additional information regarding the role of each of these compensation consultants and compensation data providers and the scope of their engagement, see page 36 of this Proxy Statement.

The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee considered the independence of Meridian under the SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee also received a letter from Meridian addressing its independence. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee considered the following factors in determining the independence of the compensation consultant: (i) other services provided to the Company by each of the consultant; (ii) fees paid by the Company as a percentage of each consultant’s total revenue; (iii) policies or procedures maintained by the consultants that are designed to prevent a conflict of interest; (iv) any business or personal relationships between the individual consultants involved in the engagement and any member of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee; (v) any Company stock owned by the individual consultants involved in the engagement; and (vi) any business or personal relationships between the Company’s executive officers and Meridian or the individual consultants involved in the engagement. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee discussed these independence factors and concluded that the work of Meridian did not raise any conflicts of interest.

The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee may form subcommittees for any purpose it deems appropriate and may delegate to any subcommittee such power and authority as it deems appropriate provided that no subcommittee shall consist of fewer than two members and that the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee shall not delegate any power or authority required by any law, regulation or listing standard to be exercised

Autoliv |  | 36 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

by the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee as a whole. Under the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “1997 Plan”), the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee may, to the extent that any such action will not prevent the 1997 Plan from complying with applicable rules and regulations, delegate any of its authority thereunder to such persons as it deems appropriate. In addition, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee has delegated to the CEO the authority to determine certain grants under the Company’s long-term incentive plan, subject to established grant limits. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee reviews the compensation levels set by the CEO under the long-term incentive program.

The Swedish Corporate Governance Code

Swedish companies with shares admitted to trading on a regulated market in Sweden, including the Nasdaq Stockholm, are subject to the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (the “Swedish Code”). This is a codification of best practices for Swedish listed companies based on Swedish practices and circumstances. The Swedish Code follows a “comply or disclose” approach; its recommendations are not binding on companies but if its recommendations are not complied with, the deviation must be explained. A non-Swedish company listed in Sweden can elect to either apply the Swedish Code or the corresponding local rules and codes where the company’s shares have their primary listing or where the company is headquartered. As a Delaware corporation with its primary listing on the NYSE, the Company has elected to apply U.S. corporate governance rules and standards. This section and other parts of this Proxy Statement provide detailed information on various subjects covered by the Swedish Code.

In addition to, and consistent with, these statutory laws and regulations, Autoliv is governed by its own charter documents and internal standards and policies through its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Third Restated By- Laws, Corporate Governance Guidelines, and the Autoliv Code of Conduct. These charter documents and internal standards and policies guide and assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and reflect the Board’s commitment to fostering a culture of integrity and monitoring the effectiveness of policy and decision-making, both at the Board and management level. The Board views corporate governance as an integral part of the basic operations of the Company and a necessary element for long-term, sustainable growth in stockholder value.

Such forward-looking statements include those that address activities, events, or developments that the Company or its management believes or anticipates may occur in the future. All forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations, various assumptions and/or data available from third parties. Our expectations and assumptions are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each of the Company’s named executive officers during the last completed fiscal year, and discusses the principles and policies underlying our executive compensation decisions and the key factors relevant to an analysis of these decisions.

Our Named Executive Officers in 2024

In accordance with the relevant rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, our named executive officers include anyone who served as the CEO or CFO during 2024, and three other executive officers who had the highest total compensation during 2024. The named executive officers are the following:

■ | Mikael Bratt (President and CEO)

■ | Fredrik Westin (Executive Vice President, Finance and CFO)

■ | Magnus Jarlegren (President, Autoliv Europe)

■ | Kevin Fox (President, Autoliv Americas)

■ | Anthony Nellis (Executive Vice President Legal Affairs, General Counsel and Secretary)

Executive Summary

The following is a brief overview of the fiscal year 2024 compensation program for our named executive officers:

■ | Total compensation for our named executive officers generally consists of base salary, annual non-equity incentives, long-term incentive (“LTI”) equity awards, retirement/pension-related benefits, and other benefits.

■ | The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee (the “LDCC”) approved an LTI program that reflects market practice and aligns pay with our financial performance. The CEO received 100% of his LTI grant value in performance stock units (“PSUs”). For executive officers other than the CEO, seventy-five percent (75%) of the grant value consisted of PSUs and twenty-five percent (25%) of the grant value consisted of restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

■ | The 2024 PSU award is comprised of the sum of one-year performance periods for each of the calendar years 2024, 2025, and 2026, each having annual goals related to EPS (60%), Relative Organic Sales Growth (25%) and the Company’s Emissions of Greenhouse Gas (15%). Any earned 2024 PSUs cliff vest in the first quarter of 2027.

■ | The LDCC first approved a performance criterion related to the Greenhouse Gas Emissions of the company in the 2022 PSUs in order to support the sustainability agenda and being carbon neutral in its own operations by 2030. This performance criterion is also included in the 2023, 2024 and 2025 PSUs.

■ | The compensation of our named executive officers is significantly affected by our financial results.

| – | Our annual non-equity incentive awards for 2024 were based on Adjusted Operating Income (50%) and Adjusted Cash Conversion (50%). For executive officers in Division Europe, the 2024 non-equity incentive awards were based on Division Europe Adjusted Operating Income (50%), Adjusted Operating Income (25%), and Adjusted Cash Conversion (25%). As a result of the achievement of the performance goals approved by the LDCC, each executive officer outside our Europe Division earned 152% of the target payout, and executive officers in our Europe Division earned 153% of the target payout.

| – | Our PSU awards for 2022-2024 were based on the Company’s Earnings Per Share (60%), Relative Organic Sales Growth (25%) and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (15%) and granted in three tranches with three separate performance periods. As a result of achievement of the performance goals, each executive officer earned a combined 123% of the target number of PSUs (Tranche A 68%, Tranche B 191%, Tranche C 109%).

■ | Based on the 2024 compensation risk assessment, the LDCC concluded that our compensation programs do not create risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on Autoliv.

Autoliv |  | 47 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

■ | The LDCC reviewed and approved amendments to the Company’s compensation recoupment policy to comply with NYSE listing standards that became effective on October 2, 2023. The Company’s compensation recoupment policy continues to permit the Board to recoup compensation in a broader set of circumstances than the minimum mandatory clawbacks required by the NYSE listing standard in relation to required accounting restatements.

■ | Company retirement/pension contributions provided to our named executive officers are limited to defined contribution plans since 2022, while Messrs. Fox and Nellis continue to participate in legacy defined benefit plans where benefits are frozen.

Compensation Philosophy

Our Compensation Philosophy for our executive management is set forth below.

Dimension | Description
Main Principles | The Company believes that to achieve its strategic and financial objectives, it is necessary to attract, motivate, and retain exceptional management talent. In addition, total compensation offered to our executive management should provide a shared responsibility for overall Company results which is aligned with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. Our compensation strategy is therefore based on principles of performance, competitiveness, and fairness.
Compensation Objectives | To meet our compensation philosophy, our executive compensation programs have the following objectives: Objective A: Offer total compensation and benefits sufficient to attract, motivate, and retain the management talent necessary to ensure the Company’s continued success. Objective B: Align the interests of the executives and the stockholders. Objective C: Reward performance each year and over a sustained period using straightforward, pre-established metrics and goals to communicate our performance expectations. Objective D: Encourage company-wide cooperation among members of the executive, divisional, and functional management teams and throughout the Company.
Compensation Mix | The Company seeks a balanced distribution of fixed and variable incentive compensation elements over time by using several components of compensation. Total compensation for our named executive officers consists of base salary, annual non-equity incentives, long-term equity incentives, retirement/pension, and other benefits. The Company believes that a balanced compensation structure focuses our executive officers on increasing long-term stockholder value while providing fewer incentives for undue risk in the short-term.
Component 1 Base Salary | Supporting Objective A Purpose: Provides a set level of pay warranted by market practice for position and sustained individual performance. A competitive base salary is important to attract and retain an appropriate caliber of talent for the position.
Component 2 Short-Term Incentives | Supporting Objectives A, B, C, & D Purpose: Recognizes short-term performance against established annual financial performance goals and creates focus and engagement in delivering results. Annual non-equity incentive awards are always capped and directly tied to the Company’s and/or divisional performance.
Component 3 Stock Incentive | Supporting Objectives A, B, C & D Purpose: Provides our executive officers with incentives to build longer-term value for our stockholders while promoting retention of critical executives and creating ownership alignment.

Autoliv |  | 48 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Dimension | Description
Component 4 Pension/Retirement and Other Benefits | Supporting Objective A Purpose: Provides additional value for our executives by competitive and market-aligned benefits. All newly hired or promoted senior executives participate in defined contribution plans rather than defined benefit plans.
Market and Market Position | The LDCC’s objective is to consider and, where appropriate, approximate the market median for base salaries as well as target total direct compensation of the relevant market data primarily linked to the country in which the named executive officer is located. The LDCC also may take a relevant international peer group comparison into account as a secondary input to compensation setting process.
How to Use Market Data | We objectively select relevant peer groups for benchmarking and consider the competitive environment of our significant operations and market locations to provide a compensation package that optimizes value to the participant and cost to the Company. The LDCC and management believe that it is their responsibility to use informed judgment as to individual compensation packages or pay levels that may occasionally deviate above or below our target pay strategy based on such factors as: 1. Individual performance and potential relative to market. 2. Long-term succession planning and talent management. 3. Business conditions in our industry or the market overall as well as business or regulatory conditions in the executive’s area of responsibility. 4. Cases where individuals are asked to step into new roles and responsibilities for specific projects or strategic initiatives.

Base Salaries

Initial base salaries are primarily a function of the LDCC’s assessment of (i) market compensation levels, (ii) the references made to base salary in our compensation philosophy for executive management, (iii) the compensation required to attract and retain the executive, and (iv) the Company’s need to fill the position either internally or externally. Also, in deciding compensation levels during the compensation review at the beginning of 2024, one of the LDCC’s objectives was for base salaries and target total direct compensation to approximate the market median of the relevant market data linked to the country in which the named executive officer is located. As part of the 2024 compensation review at the beginning of 2024, the LDCC increased base salaries for our named executive officers between 3.5% to 14.0%, consistent with general market practice, but also considering adjustments necessary to reflect an individual’s performance, responsibilities, and retention needs.

Autoliv |  | 49 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Annual Non-Equity Incentives

Members of our executive management team, including our named executive officers, are eligible to earn an annual non-equity incentive award based on achievement against pre-established performance criteria. Market-based target payout opportunities are reflected as a percentage of the executive’s base salary, as set forth in the following table.

Annual Non-Equity Incentive Opportunity for Our Named Executive Officers in 2024
| Incentive as a % of Base Salary
Named Executive Officer | Threshold | Target | Maximum
Mikael Bratt President and CEO | 0% | 60% | 120%
Fredrik Westin Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer | 0% | 50% | 100%
Magnus Jarlegren President, Autoliv Europe | 0% | 50% | 100%
Kevin Fox President, Autoliv Americas | 0% | 50% | 100%
Anthony Nellis EVP Legal Affairs, General Counsel, and Secretary | 0% | 45% | 90%

Our annual non-equity incentive award program used a limited number of performance criteria for many years. The Company believes that using a limited number of established metrics critical for the success of our business provides clear direction to our executives. In addition, the Company believes that a limited number of performance metrics enhances the transparency of our annual incentive program and provides easy-to-understand information to our investors. Finally, we believe that a limited number of metrics based on overall company performance rather than individual or local performance mitigates the risk of excessive risk-taking that could arise from individual performance-based incentives. We still believe this simple, transparent approach supports good corporate governance, a belief that is evidenced by the program operating with limited changes for several years.

The financial performance metrics for our 2024 annual non-equity incentive award program were as follows:

“Adjusted Operating Income”(1)—Reported US GAAP earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), adjusted for costs related to antitrust matters and restructuring (capacity alignment). Fifty percent (50%) of the non-equity incentive award was based on Adjusted Operating Income.

Payments on Adjusted Operating Income achievement:

| ■ | No annual incentive payment if the 2024 Adjusted Operating Income was equal to or less than 70% of the 2023 Adjusted Operating Income.

| ■ | If the 2024 Adjusted Operating Income was equal to or more than 130% of the 2023 Adjusted Operating Income, the incentive payment would be equal to two times the target amount for the respective performance period, the maximum payout.

| ■ | If the 2024 Adjusted Operating Income was between 70% and 130% of the 2023 Adjusted Operating Income, the incentive payment would be calculated through linear interpolation between said levels.

“Adjusted Cash Conversion”(1)—Free Cash Flow (Operating Cash Flow minus Capex, net) in relation to Net Income expressed in percentage of and adjusted for effects from antitrust related matters, capacity alignment, and their related tax impacts. Fifty percent (50%) of the non-equity incentive award was based on Adjusted Cash Conversion.

Autoliv |  | 50 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Payments on Adjusted Cash Conversion achievement:

| ■ | No annual incentive payment if the Adjusted Cash Conversion was equal to or less than 50%.

| ■ | If the Adjusted Cash Conversion was equal to or more than 90%, the incentive payment would be equal to two times the target amount for the respective performance period, the maximum payout.

| ■ | If the Adjusted Cash Conversion was between 50% and 90%, the incentive payment would be calculated through linear interpolation between said levels.

The LDCC may exercise its informed judgement, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s compensation plans, to propose certain adjustments to the outcomes of performance metrics. No such adjustments were made in 2025.

Actual Adjusted Operating Income for 2024 was $1,007 million, which was 109% of 2023 Adjusted Operating Income. Actual Adjusted Cash Conversion for 2024 was 85%. The performance outcome resulted in an annual non-equity incentive award of 152% of the target opportunity for named executive officers outside the Europe Division.

Mr. Jarlegren participated in a partly different 2024 annual non-equity incentive award program. This program had 25% based on Adjusted Operating Income, 25% based on Adjusted Cash Conversion, both as described above, and the remaining 50% was based on Division Europe Adjusted Operating Income. This program ended in 2024 and in 2025 Mr. Jarlegren will participate in the same program as all other NEOs.

“Division Europe Adjusted Operating Income”—the Division’s Adjusted Operating Income (Reported US GAAP Operating Income adjusted for costs related to Antitrust matters and restructuring (capacity alignment), other adjustment items externally reported to Autoliv Operating Income, and other adjustments on the operational performance approved by Autoliv’s CFO).

Payments on Division Europe Adjusted Operating Income achievement:

| ■ | No annual incentive payment if the 2024 Division Europe Adjusted Operating Income was equal to or less than a set threshold.

| ■ | If the 2024 Division Europe Adjusted Operating Income was equal to or more than an upper target, the incentive payment would be equal to two times the target amount, the maximum payout.

| ■ | If the 2024 Division Europe Adjusted Operating Income was between the threshold and upper target, the incentive payment would be calculated through linear interpolation between said levels.

Actual Division Europe Adjusted Operating Income for 2024 was $161.1, resulting in an overall performance outcome of 153% of the target opportunity for Mr. Jarlegren.

2024 Non-Equity Incentive Award Pay-outs

The amount of the non-equity incentive awards earned by our named executive officers has varied over the years, as reflected in the table below.

Annual Non-Equity Incentive Program Pay-Outs
Year | Pay-out % Target
2024 | 152% 153% (Europe Division)
2023 | 164% 105% (Europe Division)
2022 | 94%
2021 | 166%
2020 | 100%

Autoliv |  | 51 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Changes to Annual Non-Equity Incentive Program. For information regarding the changes we implemented to our 2025 Non-Equity Incentive Program, see “Key Components of 2025 Compensation Program” later in this CD&A.

LTI Equity

LTI equity for our named executive officers and other key employees represents a significant part of their total compensation. In 2024, the LTI program had 341 participants, compared to 339 participants in 2023, and 318 participants in 2022.

For our executive officers, equity incentives granted since 2019 consist of both PSUs (75%) and RSUs (25%), except for our CEO who has been granted 100% PSUs since 2021. The LDCC determined 2024 grant levels by first reviewing competitive market pay levels and trends provided by its independent consultant, historical grant levels, and the recommendations of our CEO for grants to senior executives excluding himself (for more information, please refer to the “2024 Executive Compensation Decisions” section below). The LDCC also considered the total compensation of our named executive officers relative to the median levels of total compensation of our peer groups, subject to any modifications the LDCC believed appropriate based on individual performance, industry conditions, and other criteria as discussed in the “Compensation Philosophy” above. The LDCC delegated to the CEO the authority for the determination and allocation of certain grants below our named executive officers and other executives, subject to established grant limits and the LDCC’s review.

RSUs. We believe that RSUs provide a powerful tool to create executive ownership and retain valuable executives because:

| ■ | RSUs are easy to communicate and understand;

| ■ | Due to the three-year vesting schedule and regular annual overlapping grants, RSUs encourage the executive to stay with the Company or forfeit significant accumulated value; and

| ■ | RSUs mitigate excessive risk-taking by focusing management on long-term value creation and ownership accumulation that provides alignment with stockholders.

RSUs granted in 2024 cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the grantee’s continued employment with the Company on such vesting date, subject to limited exceptions.

PSUs. We believe that PSUs focus and direct the efforts of our executives toward the attainment of critical strategic corporate objectives as well as further encourage employment retention because:

| ■ | The performance metrics selected for the PSUs are reflected in our long-term value creation; and

| ■ | Due to the three-year vesting period, PSUs similarly serve as a retention tool, encouraging the executive to continue with the Company or forfeit potential significant accumulated value.

PSUs granted in 2024 may be earned based on the Company’s achievement of performance goals related to EPS (60%), Relative Organic Sales Growth (25%), and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (15%). The LDCC believes these metrics support the Company’s strategic objectives and long-term stockholder value creation.

The 2024 PSU award is comprised of three one-year performance periods (Tranche A, Tranche B, and Tranche C), with goals for each tranche associated with full calendar years 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. Each tranche vests on or about the third anniversary of the grant date (during Q1 2027), subject to the named executive officer’s continued employment. At the beginning of 2024, the LDCC approved the goals for the first tranche (2024). The goals for tranches B (2025) and C (2026) will be set by the LDCC in the beginning of 2025 and 2026, respectively.

Treatment Upon Change in Control. All outstanding LTI equity awards are subject to “double-trigger” vesting acceleration in the event of a change in control (“CIC”), as is the LDCC’s intent for future awards, where awards assumed by the acquiring company in a CIC will become fully vested only upon the holder’s subsequent qualifying termination. If the awards are not assumed by the acquiring entity, then they will become fully vested upon the CiC.

Autoliv |  | 52 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Dividend Equivalents. All outstanding PSUs and RSUs have dividend equivalent rights. Provisions provide that any cash dividend paid with respect to our common stock for which the record date occurs on or after the grant date and the payment date occurs on or before the vesting date results in a credit of additional PSUs and RSUs, which additional PSUs and RSUs are subject to the same earnout and vesting schedule as the underlying PSUs and RSUs.

How We Value Equity Awards. When internally assessing and communicating equity compensation, we use a model that assumes that the value of an RSU and a PSU at target performance level is the closing price for a share of our common stock on the NYSE on the last trading day before of the grant date.

Annual Grant Date. The annual grant date for our regular annual LTI equity awards is in the first quarter of the fiscal year, on the date of, or following publication of, our fourth quarter financial results. This is done to enhance corporate governance procedures and to avoid unintended burdens to participants because of routine “black-out periods,” as well as to avoid making awards in proximity to MNPI that could impact award value.

Payout of 2022 PSUs. The performance period for the 2022 PSUs concluded on December 31, 2024, and the LDCC certified the level of achievement of the applicable performance goals in February 2025. The following tables outline our results relative to the established goals related to EPS, Relative Organic Sales Growth, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the corresponding payout levels per Tranche:

Tranche A (2022)
| Weight | Threshold | Target | Max | Actual | Payout
Earnings Per Share | 60% | $4.0 | $6.0 | $8.0 | $4.4 | 20%
Relative Organic Sales Growth(1) | 25% | 0pp | 4pp | 8pp | 6.6pp | 165%
Greenhouse Gas Emissions | 15% | 451 | 430 | 409 | 430 | 100%

Pension/Retirement and Other Post-Employment Benefits

Autoliv provides certain supplemental retirement/pension and other post-employment benefits, in addition to the mandatory benefits required by applicable national statutes and maintains defined benefit or defined contribution plans for our named executive officers that are competitive with customary local practice. The major terms are as follows:

Defined Contribution Programs (individual retirement investment from Company contributions). Since 2007, all newly hired senior executives participate only in defined contribution plans rather than defined benefit plans (except for certain senior executives that participated in location-specific defined benefit plans).

The Company contributes a percentage of each executive’s annual base salary to the plan, as follows. Defined contribution levels are determined by the LDCC after considering local market practices for executives in similar roles and therefore vary significantly.

Retirement—Defined Contribution Level
Name | Level of Contribution
Mikael Bratt | 47% of base salary
Fredrik Westin | 35% of base salary
Magnus Jarlegren | 13% of base salary, see below
Anthony Nellis Kevin Fox | See below

Mr. Jarlegren participates in the Company’s Swiss retirement plan available to all employees in Switzerland. The level of contribution is based on age and employee category. Mr. Jarlegren’s total contribution is 18.57% of base salary, of which Mr. Jarlegren personally contributes 30% through a payroll deduction. The Company contributes the remaining 70%. The Company also covers premiums for death and disability elements of the plan for all employees.

Messrs. Fox and Nellis participated in a 401(k) plan available to U.S.-based employees in 2024. Under this plan, the Company made an employer matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 3%, and then equal to 50% of the next 2% of employee contributions (expressed as percentage of base pay), up to certain limits. Effective January 1, 2022, the plan introduced a non-elective contribution, which contributes an additional 2% of eligible earnings to the savings account. Messrs. Fox and Nellis also participate in a non-qualified defined contribution plan.

Defined Benefits Program. Messrs. Fox and Nellis participated in a U.S. tax-qualified defined benefit plan and an excess pension plan, which froze for the purpose of additional contributions effective December 31, 2021. Additional information regarding these plans is described later under “Pension Benefits”. Other than Messrs. Fox and Nellis, none of our named executive officers are parties to a defined benefit arrangement with the Company.

Retiree Medical Plan. Messrs. Fox and Nellis are eligible to participate in a retiree medical plan, available to all employees employed in the U.S. who were hired prior to January 1, 2004, at which time the plan was frozen to new participants. Effective from December 31, 2014, the retirement arrangement was adjusted so that eligible participants, including Messrs. Fox and Nellis, are covered by a Health Retirement Account (“HRA”), pursuant to which, upon attaining age 55 and a minimum of 15 years of service, the Company will provide an annual benefit of $3,000 to an HRA upon retirement prior to age 65 and an annual benefit of $875 to an HRA after age 65. This annual benefit will be reduced if the participant retires prior to age 60. If the annual benefit is not used by the participant during the year, the benefit is forfeited back to the company. This plan may be terminated at any time for both current employees and current retirees/ participants with no obligation of benefit payout.

Termination/Severance Agreements. Named executive officers have agreements with the Company, pursuant to which they are entitled to certain severance benefits in the event of termination of employment. A detailed summary of the terms of these agreements is provided on page 69 of this Proxy Statement.

Autoliv |  | 54 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

All severance benefits and equity acceleration related to a CIC of the Company are subject to double-trigger provisions that include consummation of a transaction and covered termination within a defined protected period. We do not provide tax gross-up protection for CiC excise taxes (i.e., U.S. taxes under Section 4999 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “U.S. Internal Revenue Code”) applied to change-in-control payments that exceed certain amounts under Section 280G) to our named executive officers.

Executive Compensation Responsibilities

Role of the LDCC

The LDCC annually reviews our named executive officers’ pay levels and target incentive opportunities versus the competitive market and considers information provided by (i) the independent consultant regarding trends, (ii) input from the Executive Vice President, Human Resources and Sustainability, (iii) the CEO’s recommendations for our named executive officers (other than himself), and (iv) other relevant factors as discussed above in the “Compensation Philosophy” section.

Role of the Independent LDCC Consultant

The LDCC regularly engages an independent advisor, who reports directly to the LDCC. The independent advisor attends routine meetings of the LDCC and provides independent perspective and advice to the LDCC on various aspects of the Company’s total compensation system and the market environment in which the Company operates. Additional information regarding the role of the LDCC’s advisor, Meridian, is found in the “2024 Executive Compensation Decisions” section.

Role of the CEO

Our CEO regularly participates in the meetings of the LDCC. The CEO and Executive Vice President, Human Resources and Sustainability work together to develop a recommendation to present to the LDCC with respect to compensation packages for each of our named executive officers, other than the CEO. As a result, our CEO generally has a significant influence on the compensation paid to the other named executive officers. In addition, the LDCC has delegated the authority for the determination of certain grants to employees other than executive officers under our long-term incentive plan to the CEO, subject to established grant limits. The LDCC regularly holds executive sessions, excusing the CEO from the meeting, to discuss matters related to the CEO’s compensation.

Policies and Practices that Govern Executive Compensation at Autoliv

Stock Ownership Guidelines. The Company has adopted stock ownership guidelines for its executive officers. Pursuant to these guidelines, the (i) CEO is expected to accumulate and hold shares of Company common stock having a value at least equal to 2x his annual base salary and (ii) other executive officers are expected to accumulate and hold shares of Company common stock having a value at least equal to 1x annual base salary. Executives are expected to make continuous progress toward their respective ownership requirements. Until the executive has satisfied the stock ownership guidelines, he or she will be required to retain 75% of the net shares received upon settlement of RSUs. For purposes of these stock ownership guidelines, “net shares” are those shares held by the executive after deducting any shares withheld by the Company or sold by the executive for the sole purpose of satisfying the executive’s tax liabilities and related fees, if any, related to the settlement event.

Equity Grant Policy. The Equity Grant Policy provides that the Company shall not backdate any equity award or manipulate the timing of the public release of material information or the timing of the grant of an equity award. The LDCC does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards. In general, grants to executive officers are made annually on the date the Company files its annual report and off-cycle grants are made on the fifteenth day of the second month of each quarter following the approval of an off-cycle grant. The Company has not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation for NEO grants in fiscal year 2024.

Policy Against Hedging, Short-Selling, and Pledging. All employees and non-employee directors are prohibited from engaging in hedging, short-selling, or pledging of Autoliv securities.

Autoliv |  | 55 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Compensation Recoupment Policy. Our Board is required to recoup earned performance-based incentive compensation from current and former SEC 16 officers in the event of a financial restatement under NYSE listing standards. It is also authorized to clawback and cause the forfeiture of certain compensation from a broader group of executives in the event an executive is found acting in a manner that is harmful to the interests of the Company including “harmful conduct” defined as:

| ■ | Conduct that would constitute “cause” as defined in LTI grant agreements.

| ■ | Any violation of the Company’s code of conduct, insider trading policy, or other published policies.

| ■ | Egregious misconduct including, but not limited to, fraud, criminal activities, falsification of Company records, theft, violent acts or threats of violence, or a violation of law, unethical conduct or inappropriate behavior that causes substantial reputational harm to the Company or exposes the Company to legal liability.

| ■ | The commission of act or omission that causes an executive officer or senior manager or the Company to be in violation of federal or state securities laws or rules.

| ■ | Any misconduct, negligence, or dereliction of duty by an executive officer or senior manager that caused or contributed to the need for the restatement or material adjustment of any financial performance measure upon which the payment or his or her non-equity incentive compensation and/or vesting of his or her LTI awards are or were based.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The LDCC annually considers potential risks when reviewing and approving our compensation program. We have designed our compensation program to encourage behaviors aligned with the long-term interests of stockholders. There is appropriate balance in program design to mitigate compensation-related risk including fixed and variable pay, cash and equity, short- and long-term incentives, etc. Policies also are in place to mitigate compensation-related risk such as ownership guidelines, insider-trading prohibitions, recoupment provisions, and independent LDCC oversight. Additionally, the LDCC annually reviews an inventory of incentive arrangements below the executive level as part of a comprehensive annual compensation-risk assessment.

Based on this assessment, the LDCC concluded that our compensation program does not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Autoliv. In making this determination, the LDCC reviewed the key design elements of our compensation program in relation to industry “best practices” as presented by the LDCC’s independent compensation consultant, as well as the means by which any potential risks may be mitigated, such as through our internal controls and oversight by management and the Board of Directors.

2024 Executive Compensation Decisions

The Process

The total compensation of our named executive officers is reviewed annually. The LDCC considers changes in the compensation levels after it reviews the relevant peer group or local market data (per position). The LDCC uses this information as one input in its decision-making process. In addition to market data, the LDCC also reviews the Company’s financial performance, the named executive officers’ individual performance, input from the EVP Human Resources & Sustainability, and the recommendations of the CEO with respect to the compensation packages for the named executive officers other than himself. The LDCC reviews, provides feedback, and approves the final recommendations for the compensation of our named executive officers.

The LDCC reviewed and decided on the 2024 compensation for our executives during its meetings held in November 2023. The review was supported by market data provided by Willis Towers Watson and Mercer.

The Advisors

Throughout the decision-making process for 2024 compensation, which included the LDCC’s November 2023 meeting, the LDCC engaged Meridian who reported directly to the LDCC. Meridian provided input as per the following:

| (i) | independent perspective and advice to the LDCC on various aspects of the Company’s total compensation system;

| (ii) | information about the market environments in which the Company operates, including guidance regarding compensation trends, compensation levels, and compensation mix within the market;

Autoliv |  | 56 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

| (iii) | regulatory and statutory developments;

| (iv) | recommendations regarding program design and structure; and

| (v) | recommendations regarding compensation levels and mix for our executive officers and non-employee directors.

Meridian did not provide any additional services to the Company other than those described herein.

Peer Groups

In line with the principles of our compensation philosophy for the compensation review of our named executive officers, the LDCC reviewed the most-current compensation data available in selected markets, including market data from Sweden and the U.S.

Willis Towers Watson and Mercer used their proprietary non-disclosed compensation databases to assess local market compensation levels for executive roles operating within the general, automotive, and manufacturing industries. Such market assessments are based on our named executive officers’ roles, characteristics, and responsibilities, including job function, reporting level, and other organizational financial and organizational scope measures, including revenue responsibility, employees, and geographical responsibility. The market data contained information regarding the assessed level of base salary, total cash compensation, total direct compensation, and total compensation.

Swedish Peer Group

Messrs. Bratt and Westin. In considering 2024 compensation for our named executive officers based in Sweden, the LDCC reviewed, among other factors, market data (base salary, total target cash compensation, total direct compensation, and total compensation) from a peer group consisting of large-cap Swedish companies that have global industrial operations of substantial size in major manufacturing markets of North America, Europe, and Asia (the “Swedish Peer Group”) headquartered in Sweden and with executives based in Sweden with Swedish employment conditions. The Swedish Peer Group used by the LDCC in connection with its review of 2024 compensation consisted of the following companies:

AB Volvo | Ericsson | SSAB
Alfa Laval | Sandvik | Stora Enso
Assa Abloy | Scania | Volvo Cars
Atlas Copco | Skanska |
Electrolux | SKF |

The Swedish Peer Group for 2024 executive compensation review included one additional company, Volvo Cars, compared to the year before with the remaining companies in the group being the same.

U.S. Peer Group

Messrs. Fox and Nellis. In considering 2024 compensation for our executive officers based in the U.S., the LDCC reviewed, among other factors, market data (base salary, total target cash compensation, total direct compensation, and total compensation) from a peer group consisting of U.S. companies that were selected based on market capitalization, total revenue, and number of employees.

The LDCC updated our U.S. Peer Group before the 2024 compensation review following a comprehensive review of companies based on data availability, relevancy, and size. Two companies (Fortive Corporation and Faurecia/Forvia SE) from the 2023 U.S. Peer Group were removed.

Autoliv |  | 57 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

The following companies formed the U.S. Peer Group used by the LDCC to benchmark our U.S. executives’ 2024 compensation.

Continental AG | Johnson Controls International | Yazaki
Stanley Black & Decker | BorgWarner Inc. | Dana Inc.
Rockwell Automation | Terex Corp. | Timken Corp.
Trinity Industries | Parker-Hannifin Corp. | Trane Technologies
Dover Corp. | Adient Plc. | Lear Corporation

Decisions for 2024 Compensation

The following section of this CD&A focuses on the decisions linked to compensation paid to our named executive officers for 2024.

The LDCC reviews the compensation for the executives taking into consideration current market position and internal, external, and personal factors, including, but not limited to, the experience, performance, retention risk, internal equitability, and advancement potential.

Although the market analysis provides additional input for compensation decisions, the Company is aware that the limited number of peer companies in Sweden and potential changes to peer groups based on data availability may result in inconsistencies in a year-over-year analysis.

Mikael Bratt. As compared to 2023, Mr. Bratt’s:

| ■ | base salary increased by 4.17% (in Swedish Kronor);

| ■ | annual target non-equity incentive level (60% of base salary) and the associated cap (2x target) remained unchanged;

| ■ | approved grant value for stock incentive program participation was increased from a fixed amount of SEK 9,000,000 to a fixed amount of SEK 9,750,000; and

| ■ | retirement plan contribution level (47% of base salary) remained unchanged.

Fredrik Westin. As compared to 2023, Mr. Westin’s:

| ■ | base salary increased by 3.5% (in Swedish Kronor);

| ■ | annual target non-equity incentive level (50% of base salary) and the associated cap at (2x target) remained unchanged;

| ■ | approved grant value for stock incentive program participation was increased from USD 280,000 to USD 300,000;

| ■ | retirement plan contributions level (35% of base salary) remained unchanged.

Kevin Fox. As compared to 2023, Mr. Fox’s:

| ■ | base salary increased by 14.0% (in USD);

| ■ | annual target non-equity incentive level (50% of base salary) and the associated cap (2x target) remained unchanged;

| ■ | approved grant value for stock incentive program participation was increased from USD 200,000 to USD 400,000; and

Autoliv |  | 58 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Anthony Nellis. As compared to 2023, Mr. Nellis’:

| ■ | base salary increased by 9.0% (in USD);

| ■ | annual target non-equity incentive level was increased from 35% to 45% of base salary with the associated cap (2x target) remaining unchanged;

| ■ | approved grant value for stock incentive program participation was increased from USD 220,000 to USD 350,000;

| ■ | retirement plan contribution levels remained unchanged under U.S. plans.

Mr. Jarlegren’s compensation was set in CHF in connection with his relocation from Sweden to Switzerland on December 1, 2023 and his compensation was set in the 2024 level at this time. In setting compensation for Mr. Jarlegren, the LDCC considered information provided by Mercer about Switzerland executive pay levels in general industry survey data.

2024 Additional Benefits

The Company’s executive compensation program also includes certain “other elements” (see page XX of this Proxy Statement). The LDCC believes these additional other elements are appropriate for each of our named executive officers.

Key Components of 2025 Compensation Programs

Following approval from the LDCC, the separate performance criteria for Division Europe in the annual non-equity incentive program will be removed in 2025. Executive officers and other program participants in the Europe Division will thus participate in the same annual non-equity incentive program as other executives.

Results of Say-on-Pay

At our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders held on May 10, 2024, approximately 97.0% of the stockholders who voted on the “say-on-pay” proposal approved the compensation of our named executive officers, while approximately 1.9% voted against (with approximately 1.2% abstaining). In considering the results of this most recent advisory vote on executive compensation, the LDCC concluded that the stockholder vote continues to reflect favorable stockholder support of the compensation paid to our named executive officers and the compensation philosophy and objectives of the Company.

Also, at the annual meeting held on May 10, 2024, our stockholders expressed a preference that advisory votes on executive compensation occur every year. In accordance with the results of this vote, the Board determined to implement an advisory vote on executive compensation every year until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of executives, which occurs at the 2029 annual meeting.

Currencies for Executive Compensation

The Company generally sets cash-based compensation (including for all our named executive officers) in the local currency of the country of service with limited exceptions. Accordingly, the Company set compensation in Swedish kronor (“SEK”) for Messrs. Bratt and Westin, in U.S. dollars (“USD”) for Messrs. Fox and Nellis, and in Swiss Francs (“CHF”) for Mr. Jarlegren, except for the annual target grant value of the LTI awards for which the compensation is set in USD for all our named executive officers.

For historic numbers, we have converted the compensation paid in prior years by the same exchange rate we applied for 2024 compensation to facilitate comparison. While the historic amounts paid do not change, amounts reflecting historic figures in this Proxy Statement may differ significantly from disclosure in previous years due to fluctuations in exchange rates. We also note that the exchange rate prevailing at the time of the LDCC’s review of compensation may vary significantly from the exchange rates prevailing at the time this Proxy Statement is prepared. As a result, the year-to-year percentage changes in compensation reviewed and approved by the LDCC may differ significantly from the percentage changes in compensation presented in this Proxy Statement due to fluctuations in exchange rates.

| (1) | The amounts contained in the table were paid in SEK, USD, EUR, and CNY. All amounts have been converted to U.S. dollars using the following exchange rates: 1 USD = 11.0018 SEK = 0,9026 CHF. Amounts are rounded to the nearest whole number, and, because of such rounding, the amounts reflected in the “Total” column may differ slightly from the sum of amounts set forth in each individual column.

| (2) | The numbers reflect the aggregate grant-date fair value of the RSUs granted in each respective year and the PSUs granted in each respective year, calculated in accordance with FASB Topic 718. The fair value of the RSUs and PSUs granted in 2022, 2023 and 2024 was calculated based on the closing price per share of stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value of the PSUs was computed by multiplying (i) the target number of PSUs awarded to each named executive officer, which was the assumed probable outcome as of the grant date, by (ii) the grant date fair value per share used for financial reporting purposes. Assuming, instead, that the highest level of performance conditions would be achieved, the grant date fair values of the PSU and RSU awards (as applicable) would have been as follows: (i) 2022: Mr. Bratt, $1,140,702; Mr. Westin, $337,482; Mr. Fox $252,074 and Mr. Nellis, $252,074; (ii) 2023: Mr. Bratt, $1,757,556; Mr. Westin, $486,701; Mr. Fox $359,203; Mr. Nellis $374,120; and (iii) 2024: Mr. Bratt $1,814,550; Mr. Westin $515,539; Mr. Jarlegren $394,575, Mr. Fox $505,616; and Mr. Nellis $478,956.

The PSUs granted in 2024 (referred to herein as the 2024 PSU Tranche A, the 2024 PSU Tranche B, and the 2024 PSU Tranche C) are comprised of three one-year performance periods with goals related to EPS (60%), Relative Organic Sales Growth (25%) and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (15%). The performance goals for 2024 PSU Tranche B and 2024 PSU Tranche C were not established at the date of grant in 2024 and, as a result, for accounting purposes, 2024 PSU Tranche B and 2024 PSU Tranche C are not considered granted until the respective performance goals are established. Accordingly, the grant date fair value of the 2024 PSU Tranche A is reported in the Stock Awards column for 2024, but the grant date fair value of the 2024 PSU Tranche B and the 2024 PSU Tranche C will not be reported in the Stock Awards column until 2025 and 2026, respectively. On the other hand, performance goals were set in January 2024 for Tranche B of the PSUs granted in 2023 and for Tranche C of the PSUs granted in 2022. The grant date fair values of these awards are therefore included in this year´s Stock Awards column, together with dividend equivalents earned on these two Tranches during 2022 and 2023.

Pension Benefits

The following table summarizes the present value of the benefit and other information under the defined benefit plan of the Company for the named executive officer in the year ended December 31, 2024. Of our named executive officers, only Messrs. Fox and Nellis participate in a defined benefit plan.

Name | Plan Name | Number of Years Credited Services (#) | Present Value of Accumulated Benefit ($)(1) | Payments during Last Fiscal Year ($)
Kevin Fox | Autoliv ASP, Inc. Pension Plan Excess Pension Plan | 28 | $531,000 | —
| 28 | $90,000 | —
Anthony Nellis | Autoliv ASP, Inc. Pension Plan Excess Pension Plan | 22 | $407,400 | —
| 22 | $302,700 | —

| (1) | The actuarial present value of the accumulated plan benefit is based on the accrued benefit in each plan as of December 31, 2024, using the plan’s benefit formula and actual earnings and service through December 31, 2024. The calculation is based on the same assumptions used for financial reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles with the following exceptions: (a) Messrs. Nellis and Fox were assumed to retire on their normal retirement dates at the age of 65, (b) Messrs. Nellis and Fox were assumed to elect a lump sum payment in both plans, payable on March 1, 2033 and August 1, 2032 respectively and (c) no pre-retirement decrements (withdrawal, retirement, disability, or death) were assumed. Key assumptions used to calculate the defined benefit value as of December 31, 2024 are as follows: (i) discount rate of 5.60%, (ii) lump sum interest rates; Mr. Nellis: 6.11% for the first five years, 6.16% for the next 15 years, and 5.95% thereafter, Mr. Fox: 6.01% for the first five years, 6.14% for the next 15 years, and 5.95% thereafter, and (iii) solely for determination of the projected lump sum amounts, the estimated future applicable mortality rates is based on future 417(e) rates based on actual 417(e) tables through 2025 projected forward using MP-2021.

U.S. Pension Plan. During 2024, Messrs. Fox and Nellis participated in the Autoliv ASP, Inc. Pension Plan (which we refer to as the “Pension Plan”). The Pension Plan is a funded, defined benefit pension plan that provides benefits for the Company’s U.S. employees hired prior to January 1, 2004, who meet minimum age and service eligibility requirements. Subject to certain limitations, the monthly retirement benefit under the Pension Plan (assuming attainment of age 65, the retirement age specified by the plan, and an election to receive payments in the form of a life annuity), is determined in accordance with a formula that takes into account the following factors: the highest average of any consecutive five calendar years of pensionable earnings during the last ten years of employment ending December 31, 2021 (“average final earnings”), and the number of years of benefit service. The retirement benefit for Messrs. Fox and Nellis under the Pension Plan is a monthly pension equal to 1/12th of the amount determined as follows:

| ■ | 1.0% of average final earnings times years of benefit service prior to 12/31/2005, plus

| ■ | 0.5% of average final earnings in excess of “Covered Compensation” times years of benefit service prior to 12/31/2005, plus

| ■ | 0.7% of average final earnings times years of benefit service on or after 1/1/2006, plus

| ■ | 0.5% of average final earnings in excess of “Covered Compensation” times years of benefit service on or after 1/1/2006.

For purposes of this formula, “earnings” in a given year means the participant’s gross annual compensation, excluding amounts credited or paid under the key employees stock option and performance unit plan, long-term incentive plans, excluded allowances, severance pay and reimbursement for employment-related expenses, but including bonuses and incentive pay which is not, and has not been, subject to deferred income taxation under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. “Covered Compensation” means the average of the Social Security taxable wage bases during the 35-year period ending with the year in which the participant reaches the Social Security normal retirement age. Pension Plan benefits will begin when a participant reaches normal retirement age, defined as age 65. Benefits can commence immediately upon termination if the participant is vested after five years of vesting service, but if benefits are commenced prior to age 60, the benefit will be lower than at normal retirement age. Disability retirement is offered under the Pension Plan to participants who have at least 15 years of vesting service, are eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits, become totally and permanently disabled while employed, and are not eligible to participate in long-term disability insurance.

Autoliv |  | 65 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

Benefits under the Pension Plan are payable in the form of a lump sum or annuity, as selected by the participant. Participants in the Pension Plan will be 100% vested in their plan benefit after five years of vesting service or if they reach age 65 while employed by Autoliv. Messrs. Fox and Nellis are fully vested in their Pension Plan benefits. Messrs. Fox and Nellis are eligible for early retirement beginning at the age of 55. If they elect to take early retirement, their retirement benefit under the Pension Plan is a monthly pension equal to 1/12th of the amount determined as follows:

| ■ | 1.0% of average final earnings times years of benefit service prior to 12/31/2005, plus

| ■ | 0.5% of average final earnings in excess of “Covered Compensation” times years of benefit service prior to 12/31/2005, plus

| ■ | 0.7% of average final earnings times years of benefit service on or after 1/1/2006, plus

| ■ | 0.5% of average final earnings in excess of “Covered Compensation” times years of benefit service on or after 1/1/2006.

Excess Pension Plan. Messrs. Fox and Nellis also participated in the Autoliv ASP, Inc. Excess Pension Plan (which we refer to as the “Excess Pension Plan”). The Excess Pension Plan is an unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan, pursuant to which participating U.S. employees are eligible to receive a retirement benefit based on the benefit they would receive under the Pension Plan. Benefits payable under the Excess Pension Plan are calculated without regard to the limitations imposed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code on the amount of compensation that may be considered under the Pension Plan. The purpose of the Excess Pension Plan is to supplement the benefits payable under the Pension Plan.

The benefit payable under the Excess Pension Plan is equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the monthly benefit that would be payable to the executive under the Pension Plan as of the later of age 65 or the executive’s separation from service, computed without regard to applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Code limitations, and computed as if amounts deferred under a bonus or incentive compensation plan had been counted as “earnings” under the Pension Plan), over (ii) the amount of monthly benefit payable to the executive under the Pension Plan as of the later of age 65 or the executive’s separation from service, as limited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the terms of the Pension Plan. Benefits under the Excess Pension Plan will be payable in a single lump sum on the first pay date of the seventh month following the month in which the executive retires or otherwise separates from service. Messrs. Fox and Nellis are fully vested in his benefits in the Excess Pension Plan.

Both the U.S. Pension Plan and the Excess Pension Plan froze future benefits accruals after December 31, 2021.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Autoliv North America Non-Qualified Retirement Plan (which we refer to as the Non-Qualified Retirement Plan). Messrs. Nellis and Fox are the only named executive officers that participate in the Non-Qualified Retirement Plan.

Name | Executive Contributions in Last Fiscal Year ($)(1) | Registrant Contributions in Last Fiscal Year ($)(2) | Aggregate Earnings in Last Fiscal Year ($)(3) | Aggregate Withdrawals/ Distributions ($) | Aggregate Balance at Last Fiscal Year-End ($)(4)
Kevin Fox | $90,671.62 | $33,850.70 | $ 44,873.81 | — | $551,503.35
Anthony Nellis | $88,966.02 | $35,486.46 | $121,683.27 | — | $994,741.56

| (1) | Messrs. Fox’s and Nellis’ contributions to the Non-Qualified Retirement Plan are included in the amount reported as “Salary” in the Summary Compensation table for fiscal year 2024.

| (2) | The Company’s matching contributions to the Non-Qualified Retirement Plan are included in the “All Other Compensation” in the Summary Compensation table for Messrs. Fox and Nellis for fiscal year 2024.

| (3) | Aggregate earnings are not includable in the Summary Compensation Table because such earnings are not above-market or preferential interest rates.

| (4) | Includes amounts previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table, in the previous years when earned if that executive officer’s compensation was required to be disclosed in a previous year. Amounts previously reported in such years include previously earned, but deferred, salary and Company matching contributions.

Pursuant to the Non-Qualified Retirement Plan, participants may elect to defer a stated percentage of their base salary for each plan year, as determined by the administrative committee of the plan; provided, however, the amount deferred may not exceed 25% of a participant’s base salary. Earnings (and losses) are credited to participants’ accounts based on participant choices between various investment options and the rate of return. The administrative committee of the plan determines the investment options.

Participants are eligible to receive matching contributions equal to 80% of their deferred amounts. For plan years ending on or before December 31, 2008, deferred amounts in excess of 12% of the participant’s compensation were not eligible for matching contributions. For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, deferred amounts in excess of 7% of the participant’s compensation are not eligible for matching contributions. Participants are always 100% vested in their deferred amounts and earnings thereon; provided, however, matching contributions and earnings thereon in a participant’s account are subject to forfeiture if the participant is determined by the Board to have stolen Company assets, violated the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct and Ethics or disclosed confidential business or technical information of the Company to unauthorized third parties.

Participants may elect to receive distributions from their accounts on the first day of the seventh month following the occurrence of any one of the following distribution events as designated by the participant: (i) separation from service, (ii) death, (iii) attainment of normal retirement age (65), or (iv) attainment of early retirement age (age 55 and at least five years of service with the Company). Amounts will be distributed in one of the following forms, as selected by the participant: (i) a single lump sum, (ii) 60 approximately equal monthly installments or (iii) 120 approximately equal monthly installments.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The Company has entered into agreements and maintains plans that may require the Company to make payments and/ or provide benefits to our named executive officers in the event of termination of employment or a change in control. The paragraphs below summarize the material terms of such agreements with our named executive officers.

Employment Agreements. The Company is party to an employment agreement with each of Messrs. Bratt, Westin, Jarlegren, Fox, and Nellis (the “employment agreements”).

The employment agreements obligate the Company to provide twelve (Mr. Bratt) or six (all others) months’ notice of termination of employment for each of the named executive officers unless the employment is terminated for “cause,” in which case termination would be effective immediately. In addition to notice of termination, the named executive officers are eligible for certain severance payments or end-of-service benefits. Each of the named executive officers must provide the Company with 12 (Mr. Bratt) or six (all others) months’ notice of resignation.

Except as provided below, following the executive’s termination of employment, each of the named executive officers are prohibited from competing with the Company for a period of 12 months. Such noncompetition covenant does not apply if the Company terminates the named executive officer’s employment for any reason other than for “Cause”, or the named executive officer resigns for “Good Reason”. In consideration for such noncompetition covenant, the Company is obligated to make up to 12 monthly payments equal to the difference between the executive’s monthly gross salary as of the date of his employment termination and any lower salary earned by the executive in any new employment, if any. The aggregate monthly payments are limited to a maximum of 60% of the gross salary earned as of the date of his employment termination, and the Company will cease making payments once such aggregate amount has been reached. The Company is not obligated to make such payments if the executive’s employment terminates due to his retirement.

In addition to receiving full base salary and benefits during the requisite notice period, if the Company terminates the employment involuntarily other than for Cause or if the executive resigns for Good Reason, then the executive would be entitled to a lump sum severance payment equal to one and one-half times his then-current base salary.

Our named executive officers may terminate their employment with Good Reason or without Good Reason. “Good Reason” shall generally mean; (1) the assignment of any duties inconsistent with the executives status as an executive officer of the Company or a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of responsibilities other than any such alteration primarily attributable to the fact that the Company may no longer be a public company; or (2) a reduction by the Company in the Executive’s annual base salary; or (3) the relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment; or (4) the failure by the Company to pay to the Executive any portion of the Executive’s current compensation on a timely basis; or (5) the failure by the Company to continue in effect any compensation plan in which the Executive participates on the Effective Date which is material to the Executive’s total compensation; or (6) the failure by any successor to the business of the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to expressly assume and agree to perform the employment agreement in the same manner.

The Company may terminate our named executive officers’ employment with or without Cause. “Cause” for termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment shall mean; (1) willful and continued failure by the executive to perform the duties; or (2) the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct, which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise.

Equity Awards. Pursuant to the 1997 Plan and subsequent grant agreements until 2019, upon the occurrence of a change in control, any outstanding RSUs held by the executive would fully vest and the PSUs will vest at the target level. Pursuant to the agreements evidencing awards granted under the 1997 Plan, upon the executive’s death or retirement, any outstanding RSUs held by the executive would become fully vested and the PSUs will remain outstanding and may be earned, in whole, in part, or not at all, following the conclusion of the performance period to the extent that the performance objectives are attained. Upon an executive’s termination of employment, absent a change in control, any outstanding options, RSUs and PSUs that would vest during the applicable notice period, if any, would become fully vested. For awards granted in 2021, a change of control acceleration only occurs if the surviving entity does not assume or otherwise equitably convert or substitute the unvested equity in connection with the change in control. If the surviving company does assume or otherwise equitably convert or substitute the unvested equity, then the awards become fully vested only if the executive’s employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason within two years following the change in control event.

Estimated Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment under Various Circumstances or a Change in Control. The following tables set forth the estimated value of the payments and benefits described above to each of Messrs. Bratt, Westin, Jarlegren, Fox, and Nellis upon termination of employment under various circumstances or a change in control. The amounts shown assume that the triggering events occurred on December 31, 2024. For the calculations, the 2024 defined contribution payment for each named executive officer has been used. The amounts contained in the table would be paid in Swedish Kronor, CHF or USD. All amounts have been converted to USD using the following exchange rate: 1 USD = 11.0018 SEK = 0.9026 CHF. In addition to the estimated payments and benefits in the tables, the Company would in each case reimburse the executive officer for accrued but unused vacation, if any, in accordance with the respectively applicable local legislation and Company policy.

Autoliv |  | 71 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

| (2) | Reflects the value of the benefits disclosed in footnote (4) to the Summary Compensation table (except for amounts paid as vacation supplements or settlements) that the executive would be entitled to during the requisite notice period. The estimated values are determined based on the Company’s cost of providing such benefits during 2024.

| (3) | Reflects the value of RSUs and PSUs that vest (in whole or in part) upon the designated event, based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2024 ($93.79), the last trading day of the year. No executive officer held unvested options as of December 31, 2024.

| (4) | As discussed above, upon termination, the executive would be entitled to receive current compensation and benefits during the notice period, as applicable, including any equity awards that would vest during such period. However, per the terms of the RSU and PSU agreements, the RSUs and PSUs will not continue to vest if the executive has given notice of termination. Accordingly, the value of the equity awards upon a voluntary termination reflects only the value RSUs and PSUs granted in February 2022 that would otherwise vest in February 2025, which vesting date falls within the requisite notice period.

| (5) | As discussed above, upon an involuntary termination, the executive would be entitled to receive his compensation and benefits during the notice period, as applicable, including any equity awards that would vest during such period. The value of the equity awards upon an involuntary termination reflects the value of the RSUs and PSUs that would vest during the applicable notice period following December 31, 2024.

| (6) | The executive’s unvested RSUs and PSUs will become fully vested upon termination of employment by reason of death or retirement. None of the executives were eligible for retirement in 2024.

| (7) | Qualifying termination after a change in control includes resignation for good reason, termination without cause or termination due to disability.

| (8) | Reflects the value of the company car and operating costs during the requisite notice period. The estimated values are determined based on the Company’s cost of providing such benefits during 2024.

CEO Pay Ratio

The following ratio compares the annual total compensation of our median-paid employee with the annual total compensation of our CEO. The pay ratio included below is calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. Given the different methodologies that various public companies use to determine an estimate of their pay ratio, the estimated ratio reported below should not be used as a basis for comparison between companies.

The methodology, material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates that we used to identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee were as follows:

| 1. | Our median employee identification date was October 31, 2024.

| 2. | Our employee population which we have used to identify our median employee, after taking into consideration the adjustments permitted by SEC rules, consisted of 63,087 individuals. All “Autoliv Employee” categories who were employed by Autoliv as of October 31, 2024, whose compensation were set by Autoliv and who were paid through Autoliv payroll, were included in the analysis (permanent, temporary and part-time). We based our analysis on the entire employee population (other than our CEO), as opposed to statistical sampling.

| 3. | Given the geographical distribution of our employee population and varying local requirements, we use a variety of pay elements that differ by country to structure the compensation arrangements of our employees. Consequently, for purposes of measuring compensation of our employees, we selected “Actual Gross Taxable Compensation Reported Through Payroll” (or “Actual Gross Taxable Compensation”) as the measure of compensation to identify the median employee.

| 4. | Given our multiple payroll systems, schedules and the differing fiscal years of our Company and its subsidiaries, we measured “Actual Gross Taxable Compensation” as the total of payment made during the 10-month period starting on January 1, 2024, and ending on October 31, 2024 (the “measurement period”).

| 5. | We did not annualize or calculate the full measurement period equivalent of “Actual Gross Taxable Compensation” compensation paid during the measurement period.

| 6. | As permitted by Item 402(u), we made cost-of-living (COL) adjustments to the compensation of all our employees in jurisdictions other than the jurisdiction in which our CEO resides to identify the median employee and used the same COL adjustment to determine the median employee’s annual total compensation. Because of the geographical distribution of our employee population, we believe that COL adjustments provide a more meaningful comparison of our CEO’s compensation to the actual value of the median employee’s compensation.

| ■ | The median-paid employee was employed by Autoliv in Romania.

| ■ | The COL adjustments were based on 2023 purchasing power parity conversation factors provided by the World Bank, International Comparison Program database. 2024 conversion factors were not available at the time of our analysis.

Autoliv |  | 73 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

| 7. | In calculating the CEO Pay Ratio, we identified and calculated the elements of such employee’s compensation for the full fiscal year 2024 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation in the amount of $24,972. The December 31, 2024, exchange rate used for the conversion to U.S. dollars was 1 USD = 4.7759 RON.

|  | Stock | Non-Equity Incentive Plan | All Other |
Salary | Awards | Compensation | Compensation | TOTAL
| Year | $ | $ | $ | $ | ($)
CEO | 2024 | 1,217,983 | 907,275 | 1,036,194 | 562,547 | 3,723,999
Median paid employee(1) | 2024 | 22,265 | — | 2,707 | — | 24,972

(1) The total amount includes shift and overtime compensation.

To capture the compensation paid to Mr. Bratt for his services as our CEO, we have used the annual total compensation as disclosed in Summary Compensation Table of this Proxy Statement for the year 2024.

For fiscal year 2024:

| ■ | The annual compensation of our median-paid employee (other than the CEO) was $24,972 and

| ■ | the annual total compensation of the CEO was $3,723,999.

Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median-paid employee is 149 to 1.

We also identified who our median-paid employee would have been had we not used any COL adjustments. Had we not used any COL adjustments, our median employee would have been an employee residing in Mexico with an annual total compensation of $16,608 for the compensation year 2024. For the purposes of this disclosure, this amount was converted from Mexican Peso to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate 1 USD = 20.388 MXN on December 31, 2024. The ratio of the annual total compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer to the annual total compensation of our median employee identified without the effect of the COL adjustments would have been 222 to 1 using the 2024 compensation levels.

Pay Versus Performance

The following disclosure includes a comparison between the compensation to our PEO and average compensation to our non-PEO NEOs as reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) (in each year’s respective proxy statement) and “compensation actually paid (“CAP”) as defined in the SEC’s pay versus performance disclosure rules.

For context on the corresponding performance, the disclosure also compares Cumulative Total Stockholder Return (“TSR”) for Autoliv and our selected peer group index and provides Autoliv’s Net Income and an additional company-selected performance measure (Adjusted Operating Income).

| (1) | The “SCT Total Compensation” figures provided in the table above for 2020 to 2023 do not match the total compensation figures provided in the SCT of this proxy statement. In the SCT table provided on page 58, we have converted the compensation paid in prior years by the same exchange rate we applied for 2024 to facilitate comparison across years as described in the footnotes to the table. Instead, the compensation figures in the table above are directly taken from each year’s respective proxy statement and reflects the actual USD compensation paid to make comparison of pay versus performance more meaningful.

| (2) | The Non-PEO NEOs reflected in the above table are the NEOs for each covered year as follows: 2020: Fredrik Westin, Christian Hanke, Frithjof Oldorff, Jordi Lombarte and Brad Murray; 2021: Fredrik Westin, Frithjof Oldorff, Colin Naughton, Kevin Fox, and Jennifer Cheng; 2022: Fredrik Westin, Sng Yih, Frithjof Oldorff, and Anthony Nellis; 2023: Fredrik Westin, Sng Yih, Anthony Nellis, Kevin Fox, and Frithjof Oldorff; and 2024: Fredrik Westin, Magnus Jarlegren, Kevin Fox, and Anthony Nellis.

| (3) | Represents peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group selected for purposes of this table is the Dow Jones U.S. Auto Parts Index, which is the industry peer group used in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (see notes below for further details).

| (4) | We have identified the “company selected measure” as Adjusted Operating Income because it constitutes 50% of the performance criteria used to calculate our annual short-term incentives payable to our NEOs. Adjusted Operating Income is calculated as provided in Annex A.

| (5) | The dollar amounts reported as CAP to the PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs, respectively, are computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to the PEO or the Non-PEO NEOs, respectively, during the applicable year. In calculating the CAP, the following amounts were deducted from and added to the SCT total compensation:

REQUIRED DISCLOSURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAP, TSR AND CERTAIN FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES

AUTOLIV TSR VS. PEER GROUP TSR

The following chart shows Autoliv’s cumulative TSR in comparison to the cumulative TSR of our selected peer group. The peer group selected for purposes of this disclosure is the Dow Jones U.S. Auto Parts Index (DJUSA-DJX), which is float market capitalization-weighted and aims to provide 95% market capitalization coverage of U.S.-traded stocks for the Auto Parts Subsection (3355). The companies included in the index are Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers of non-safety products to the automotive industry and are producers of very different offerings such as drivetrains, electronic and technology systems, fuel systems and many have after-market businesses. This index includes some companies included in our compensation benchmarking for our U.S. based executives.

MAIN DRIVERS OF CAP

| ■ | Our CEO and several of our NEOs are not based in the U.S. and their compensation is generally paid in local currencies of countries in which they are employed. The gain in value of the U.S. dollar in recent years results in a drop in compensation in U.S. dollars for our CEO and several of our NEOs.

| ■ | Our compensation program has several variable components (short term incentive, RSUs and PSUs) that are directly related to Autoliv’s TSR and financial performance.

| 1. | Autoliv’s share price increased from $84.41 at the end of 2019 to $92.10 at the end of 2020 and to $103.41 at the end of 2021. This increase in share price aligned with an increase in CAP in relation to outstanding equity awards (both RSUs and PSUs).

By the end of 2022, however, Autoliv’s share price dropped to $76.58, having a negative impact on CAP in 2022.

In 2023, the share price improved significantly and closed the year at $110.19, having a big positive impact on CAP in 2023.

By the end of 2024, Autoliv’s share price had dropped back to $93.79, having a big negative impact on CAP in 2024 and the estimated value of outstanding equity awards.

| 2. | In addition to share price increase and dividends, the outcome for several performance measures used by our incentive programs (both short-term incentives and PSUs) resulted in significant variation in CAP. In 2024, the outcome on PSUs was above target, which contributed positively to CAP. The performance of the annual short-term incentive program also contributed to an increase in CAP both in 2023 and 2024.

Autoliv |  | 79 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

CAP VS. COMPANY TSR

The following chart shows the correlation between CAP to our CEO and average CAP to our non-PEO NEOs in comparison to Autoliv’s cumulative TSR.

A significant part of our compensation structure is stock based. The impact on CAP from stock-based compensation is explained above. It can be noted that the general trend of CAP follows that of Autoliv’s TSR, including a reduction in CAP in 2024 vs 2023.

Autoliv |  | 80 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

CAP VS. NET INCOME and ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME

The following chart shows the correlation between CAP to our CEO and average CAP to our non-PEO NEOs in comparison to Autoliv’s Net Income and Adjusted Operating Income.

| ■ | CAP to the CEO and average CAP to the non-PEO NEOs decreased from 2023 to 2024, contrary to the increase of Autoliv’s Adjusted Operating Income.

| ■ | Adjusted Operating Income represents 50% of the performance criteria of our non-equity incentive program while Earnings per Share, which is directly linked to our Net Income, represents 60% of the performance criteria related to our PSUs. Autoliv’s positive performance in both performance measures affected the CAP levels, however the share price decrease from 2023 to 2024 and lower performance against the PSU targets in 2024 meant CAP still declined vs the year before.

Autoliv |  | 81 |  | 2025 Proxy Statement

TABULAR DISCLOSURE OF MOST IMPORTANT MEASURES LINKING CAP DURING 2024 TO COMPANY PERFORMANCE

Adjusted Operating Income | Relative Organic Sales Growth
Adjusted Cash Conversion | Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS)

| ■ | EPS, Relative Organic Sales Growth (Autoliv’s sales in relation to Light Vehicle Production Growth) and Greenhouse Gas Emissions have been the selected metrics for our PSU awards since 2022. In addition, Autoliv’s annual short-term incentive program has been based on performance related to Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Cash Conversion for several years.

| ■ | Adjusted Cash Conversion converts profit into cash, allowing the company to reduce risk, support growth and strengthen the balance sheet. Availability of cash and a good liquidity allows the company to invest for the future and is vital for Autoliv to remain competitive and operate in a sustainably and efficient way.

| ■ | Adjusted Operating Income is the general result of revenues minus costs related to the company’s operations. Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS are two critical KPIs for the company’s long-term success and for Autoliv to be able to provide value to its stockholders. Organic Sales Growth also support this by increasing the top line and creating opportunity for increased profits.

| ■ | The reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions supports the company’s long-term sustainability agenda and is critical for Autoliv to remain relevant and to deliver on the company’s overall vision of Saving More Lives.

PROPOSAL 2
Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, Autoliv stockholders are entitled to cast an advisory vote on the Company’s executive compensation program. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 47 of this Proxy Statement, our compensation system plays a significant role in the Company’s ability to attract, retain, and motivate management talent, which the Board believes is necessary for the Company’s long-term success. The Board believes that its current compensation program directly links executive compensation to performance, aligning the interests of the Company’s executive officers with those of its stockholders.

The Board invites you to review carefully the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 47 of this Proxy Statement and the tabular and other disclosures on compensation under 2024 Executive Compensation Decisions beginning on page 56 of this Proxy Statement, and cast a vote either to endorse or not endorse the Company’s compensation of its named executive officers through the following resolution:

“Resolved, that stockholders approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, including the Company’s compensation practices and principles, as discussed and disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the executive compensation tables, and any narrative executive compensation disclosure contained in this Proxy Statement.”

While the vote does not bind the Board to any particular action, the Board values the input of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of this vote in considering future compensation arrangements.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 3
Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit and Risk Committee of the Board has appointed Ernst & Young AB (“EY”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The committee has been advised that EY has no relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries other than that arising from the firm’s employment as accountants.

In accordance with directions of the Audit and Risk Committee, this appointment is being presented to the stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. While ratification by stockholders of this appointment is not required by law or the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws, the Audit and Risk Committee and management believe that such ratification is desirable. In determining whether to reappoint EY as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit and Risk Committee considered a number of factors, including, among others, the firm’s independence and objectivity, capability and expertise in handling the breadth and complexity of the Company’s global operations, historical and recent performance, communication and interaction with the Audit and Risk Committee and management, and the reasonableness of its fees for audit and non-audit services.

In the event this appointment is not ratified by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the appointment at the Annual Meeting, the Audit and Risk Committee will consider that fact when it selects its independent registered public accounting firm for the following year.

EY has been the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company since May 1997. EY has been the independent registered public accounting firm for Autoliv AB since 1984. Audit services provided to the Company by EY during 2024 and 2023 consisted of the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for that year and the preparation of various reports based thereon.

The Company has been advised that a representative of EY will attend the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will be afforded the opportunity to make a statement, if desired.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL.

Audit and Risk Committee Pre-Approval Policies

The Audit and Risk Committee has adopted guidelines for the provision of audit and non-audit services by Ernst & Young AB, including requiring Audit and Risk Committee pre-approval of any such audit and non-audit services. In developing these guidelines, the Audit and Risk Committee took into consideration the need to ensure the independence of Ernst & Young AB while recognizing that Ernst & Young AB may possess the expertise on certain matters that best positions it to provide the most effective and efficient services on certain matters unrelated to accounting and auditing. On balance, the Audit and Risk Committee will only pre-approve the services that it believes enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk. The Audit and Risk Committee was also mindful of the relationship between fees for audit and non-audit services in deciding whether to pre-approve any such services and may determine, for each fiscal year, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for audit, audit-related and tax services, and the total amount of fees for permissible non-audit services (excluding tax services). The guidelines provide for the pre-approval by the Audit and Risk Committee of described services to be performed, such as audit, audit-related, tax and other permissible non-audit services. Approval of audit and permitted non-audit services may also be made by the Chair of the Committee, and the person granting such approval must report such approval to the Committee at the next scheduled meeting.

The Audit and Risk Committee has considered the audit, audit-related, tax, and all other services discussed above, and additional information provided to the Company by Ernst & Young AB and determined that the provision of these services is compatible with the independence of Ernst & Young AB. The Audit and Risk Committee pre-approved all such services in 2024 and 2023.

Other Matters

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

The members of the Board, the executive officers of the Company and persons who hold more than 10% of our common stock (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, which require them to file reports with respect to their ownership of the Company’s securities on Form 3 and transactions in the Company’s securities on Forms 4 or 5. In 2024, Mr. Nellis filed one late Form 4 relating to dividend equivalent increase to his unvested RSUs due to an error with the filing system attributed to the high number of filings that date. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it and written representations from the Company’s executive officers and directors, the Company believes that, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, all other Section 16(a) filing requirements were complied with by all the Reporting Persons during and with respect to such year.
