Impact Evaluation

• Market Cap Context: Autoliv is a large-cap company with a market capitalization of $9.17 billion. This transaction has a value of $0 and involves a negligible number of shares, making it immaterial.
• Ownership Concentration: The filing does not specify the insider's total post-transaction holdings, but the acquisition of ~39 shares is insignificant relative to the 76.8 million shares outstanding.
• Dilution Impact: The issuance of ~39 shares has a dilution impact of less than 0.0001%, which is negligible for existing shareholders.
• Transaction Significance: The transaction represents the automatic accrual of dividend equivalent rights, as specified in the original award agreements. It is not a discretionary investment decision by the insider and carries no informational value.
