Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 27, 2015, Autoliv ASP, Inc. and Autoliv AB, each a wholly owned subsidiary of Autoliv, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) entered into an international assignment agreement (the “Agreement”) with Steven Fredin, Autoliv, Inc.’s Group Vice President, Sales & Engineering. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Fredin will relocate to the Company’s headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. The term of Mr. Fredin’s assignment under the Agreement will be effective as of August 17, 2015 and the parties anticipate that the assignment will continue for two years, unless terminated earlier by either party with three months’ notice to the other. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Fredin will be entitled to various allowances and reimbursements consistent with the Company’s usual practices for similarly situated employees on international assignment, including: relocation (both to Sweden and back to the United States upon completion of the assignment), housing assistance, travel allowances, dependent education reimbursements, language training, tax service assistance and tax-equalization benefits. In addition, consistent with the Company’s usual practice for similarly situated employees on international assignment, the Company will pay any income taxes that Mr. Fredin incurs as a result of such allowances and reimbursements and the income tax payment itself.

Mr. Fredin’s base salary will remain at the same level as in effect immediately prior to the international assignment, and he will continue to participate in the Company’s compensation and benefit programs available to executive officers generally, including participation in the Company’s annual short-term incentive performance plan and long-term incentive performance plan, as well as coverage for pension, medical disability and health benefits.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
