Husqvarna AB: Changed Date for Capital Markets Day

Regulatory News:

Husqvarna Group (STO:HUSQB) has decided to change the date for the 2014 Capital Market Day to September 25. The event was initially planned for June 10.

The purpose of the Capital Market Day is to provide an update on the short term initiatives to improve the Group’s operating margin – the "Accelerated Improvement Program” – as well as an overview of the long-term direction.

As a consequence of the ongoing review of the Group’s long-term direction, changing the date for the Capital Market Day to September 25 will facilitate a higher level of relevant content.

We would like to emphasize that we have no other view on the Group’s performance than what we had at the time of the release of the Group’s interim report for the first quarter, and re-iterate that we remain cautiously optimistic about the underlying demand. The execution of our Accelerated Improvement Program is continuing according to plan.
