Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information contained in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 24, 2019, Autoliv, Inc. (the “Autoliv” or the “Company”), Autoliv ASP (“Autoliv ASP”), and Ab Svensk Exportkredit (SvEK) entered into a credit agreement for SEK 1,200,000,000, filed as Exhibit 10.48 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 21, 2020 (the “Existing SvEK Credit Facility”).

By the end of the second quarter of 2020 the Company intends to draw down funds under the Facility Agreement (defined below) to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Existing SvEK Credit Facility and the Exiting SvEK Credit Facility will be terminated.]

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On May 28, 2020, Autoliv AB, as borrower, Autoliv and Autoliv ASP, as guarantors, and SvEK, as lender, entered into a facility agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) under which SvEK will make SEK 6 billion (approximately $600 million) available to Autoliv AB in two tranches of SEK 3 billion each. The first and second tranches will mature on the second-year anniversary and the fifth-year anniversary of the Facility Agreement, respectively. The interest rate for the first tranche will be STIBOR plus 1.35% per year and the interest rate for the second tranche will be STIBOR plus 1.85% per year.

By the end of the second quarter of 2020, the Company intends to begin drawing down on the funds from the Facility Agreement and use a portion of the proceeds to repay the Existing SvEK Credit Facility and also make payments on the Company’s previously drawn revolving credit facility, as disclosed in Item 2.03 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2020. The Facility Agreement will replace the Existing SvEK Credit Facility once the Company draws down funds under the Facility Agreement, at which time all outstanding borrowings under the Existing SvEK Credit Facility will be repaid.

The Company intends to file a copy of the Facility Agreement as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
