Amer Sports to organize its Winter and Outdoor business

Amer Sports continues to organize its Winter and Outdoor business to
strengthen its leading position in the industry. The new Winter and
Outdoor business structure is as follows:

Amer Sports Winter Sports Equipment business area
To maximize the group's competitive advantage, the winter sports
equipment businesses of Salomon and Atomic will come under common
leadership. The President of the new Amer Sports Winter Sports
Equipment business area will be Michael Schineis, the current
President of Atomic. He is a long-time veteran of Amer Sports and has
extensive experience with both Atomic and Salomon.

Amer Sports Apparel and Footwear business area
To focus on the Group's opportunities in its fast-growing apparel and
footwear businesses, a new entity consisting of the Salomon and
Arc'teryx brands has been formed. The General Manager for the Amer
Sports Apparel and Footwear business area will be Jean-Marc Pambet,
currently the General Manager of Salomon Apparel and Footwear.

Cycling business area
Bernard Millaud will continue as General Manager of Mavic.

The leaders of the three business areas will report to Roger Talermo,
President and CEO of Amer Sports Corporation.

Jari Melgin, currently Vice President, Finance and Administration at
Salomon, will be responsible for the finance and administration
functions of the Winter and Outdoor business.

As part of the changes, Bernard Millaud will take the responsibility
of the legal entity of Salomon S.A. in Annecy. The current President
of Salomon, Jean-Luc Diard, will leave Amer Sports to pursue other
interests.
The changes are effective immediately.
