December 17, 2009 at 10:35 am                                                

MAVIC REMAINS PART OF AMER SPORTS                                               

Amer Sports announced on September 1, 2009, that it is exploring strategic      
alternatives in respect of its cycling business Mavic and that this review could
result in a divestiture of Mavic.                                               

Amer Sports has during the last months evaluated several different options and  
has now reached the conclusion that a divestment of this business would not be  
in the shareholders' best interest. Instead Amer Sports will concentrate its    
efforts on further developing its cycling business.
