Proposal under item 2

The Nomination Committee formed according to a resolution of the Annual General Meeting 2020 to represent all shareholders of the company currently consisting of, besides the Chair of the Board of Directors, members elected by FAM, Cevian Capital, AFA Försäkring and Skandia, proposes that the attorney Patrik Marcelius be elected Chair of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Proposal under item 7

On 17 September 2024, the Board of Directors of AB SKF ("SKF") publicly announced its intention to initiate a separation of SKF's Automotive business with the objective of a separate listing on Nasdaq Stockholm through a Lex Asea distribution to SKF's shareholders. SKF's wholly owned subsidiary, SKF Vertevo AB reg. no 559505-9022 ("SKF Vertevo") including the underlying group, now embodies the Automotive business.

The Board of Directors of SKF proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves that all shares in SKF's wholly owned subsidiary SKF Vertevo be distributed, whereby five (5) shares of series A in SKF entitle to one (1) share of series A in SKF Vertevo and five (5) shares of series B in SKF entitle to one (1) share of series B in SKF Vertevo. If a shareholder's shareholding in SKF is not evenly divisible by five (5), the fraction of shares which the shareholder's shareholding in SKF otherwise would entitle to in SKF Vertevo will be combined with all other shareholders' fractions of shares into whole shares in SKF Vertevo, which will be sold on Nasdaq Stockholm through Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB. The proceeds from such sale, free of any commissions, will then be paid to such shareholders through the Euroclear system on a pro rata basis.

The Board of Directors further proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to determine the record date for the right to receive shares in SKF Vertevo. The record date is expected to take place on 27 November 2026 and the first day of trading in the SKF Vertevo share on Nasdaq Stockholm is expected to occur on 1 December 2026.

The distribution of the shares in SKF Vertevo is expected to be made in accordance with the so-called Lex Asea rules. Lex Asea is a Swedish tax regulation. The provision implies, in brief, that the shares in a subsidiary under certain circumstances can be distributed without triggering any immediate taxation of the dividend for Swedish resident shareholders (instead, the tax basis for the shares in the parent company is allocated between the shares in the parent company and the received shares in the subsidiary).

For purposes of the Swedish Companies Act, the value of the distribution of the shares in SKF Vertevo is determined based on the book value at the time of the distribution of the shares to SKF shareholders by application of the relevant accounting rules. SKF estimates the book value at the time of the distribution to SEK 11,000,000,000 which hence is the total value that is proposed to be distributed to the shareholders.

As of 31 December 2025, SKF's non-restricted equity amounted to SEK 25,966,908,865. On 21 April 2026 the Annual General Meeting resolved on a dividend of SEK 7.75 per share, totalling SEK 3,528,970,777, which reduced the non-restricted equity by the same amount. Accordingly, the amount available for distribution under Chapter 17, Section 3, Paragraph 1 of the Swedish Companies Act is SEK 22,437,938,088.

An information brochure containing additional information regarding the distribution and SKF Vertevo's business is published in connection with this notice.
