in any other way has acted in contravention of the Companies
Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association.
Our objective concerning the audit of the proposed appropriations
of the company's profit or loss, and thereby our opinion about this,
is to assess with reasonable degree of assurance whether the
proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect actions
or omissions that can give rise to liability to the company, or that
the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss are not
in accordance with the Companies Act.
A further description of our responsibility for the audit of the
administration is available on Revisorsinspektionen's website:

part of the auditor's report.
The auditor's examination of the ESEF report
Opinion
In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated
accounts, we have also examined that the Board of Directors and
the Chief Executive Officer have prepared the annual accounts and
consolidated accounts in a format that enables uniform electronic
reporting (the Esef report) pursuant to Chapter 16, Section 4(a) of
the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528) for Getinge AB (publ)
for the financial year 2022.
Our examination and our opinion relate only to the statutory
requirements.
In our opinion, the Esef report has been prepared in a format
that, in all material respects, enables uniform electronic reporting.
Basis for Opinion
We have performed the examination in accordance with FAR's rec-
ommendation RevR 18 Examination of the Esef report. Our respon-
sibility under this recommendation is described in more detail in
the Auditors' responsibility section. We are independent of Getinge
AB (publ) in accordance with professional ethics for accountants in
Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Responsibilities of the Board of Director's
and the Chief Executive Officer
The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible
for the preparation of the Esef report in accordance with the Chapter
16, Section 4(a) of the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528), and
for such internal control that the Board of Directors (and the Chief
Executive Officer) determine is necessary to prepare the Esef report
without material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance whether the
Esef report is in all material respects prepared in a format that meets
the requirements of Chapter 16, Section 4(a) of the Swedish Securi-
ties Market Act (2007:528), based on the procedures performed.
RevR 18 requires us to plan and execute procedures to achieve
reasonable assurance that the Esef report is prepared in a format
that meets these requirements.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not
a guarantee that an engagement carried out according to RevR 18
and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually

or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Esef report.
The audit firm applies ISQC 1 Quality Control for Firms that
Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and other
Assurance and Related Services Engagements and accordingly
maintains a comprehensive system of quality control, including
documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with
professional ethical requirements, professional standards and legal
and regulatory requirements.
The examination involves obtaining evidence, through various
procedures, that the Esef report has been prepared in a format
that enables uniform electronic reporting of the annual accounts
and consolidated accounts. The procedures selected depend
on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks
of material misstatement in the report, whether due to fraud or
error. In carrying out this risk assessment, and in order to design
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, the auditor
considers those elements of internal control that are relevant to
the preparation of the Esef report by the Board of Directors and
the Chief Executive Officer, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of those internal controls. The ex-
amination also includes an evaluation of the appropriateness and
reasonableness of assumptions made by the Board of Directors
and the Chief Executive Officer.
The procedures mainly include a validation that the Esef report has
been prepared in a valid XHTML format and a reconciliation of the Esef
report with the audited annual accounts and consolidated accounts.
Furthermore, the procedures also include an assessment of
whether the consolidated statement of financial performance,
financial position, changes in equity, cash flow and disclosures in
the Esef report have been marked with iXBRL in accordance with
what follows from the Esef regulation.
Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB, was appointed auditor
of Getinge AB (publ) by the general meeting of the shareholders
