| Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On April 30, 2012, Autoliv, Inc. (the “Company”) settled the purchase obligations under its 4,250,920 outstanding equity units by issuing approximately 5.8 million shares of its common stock to equity unit holders in exchange for $106,273,000, which was raised through the Company’s remarketing of its 8% Senior Notes due 2014, completed on March 15, 2012. Because the Company has satisfied all of its obligations under the equity units, the New York Stock Exchange will delist the equity units from trading on the NYSE and the Company will deregister the equity units under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s common stock continues to trade on the NYSE.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the settlement of the equity units is filed as Exhibit 99.1.
