(ELUX) Rune Andersson, Chairman of the Board of Electrolux, has
announced that he will resign as Chairman and leave the Board in
connection with the Annual General Meeting in April 2004.
Mr. Andersson was elected to the Electrolux Board at the AGM in 1998, and was appointed chairman.
“My work as chairman of Electrolux has been very stimulating, and by
April 2004 I will have held this position for six years. During these
years my own group of companies has grown substantially and requires
more of my time”, says Rune Andersson.
