The Board of Directors of Amer Sports Corporation has approved two new
share-based incentive plans for the Group key personnel. The aim of the new
plans is to combine the objectives of the shareholders and the key personnel in
order to increase the value of the Company, to commit the key personnel to the
Company, and to offer them competitive reward plans based on holding the Company
shares.

Performance Share Plan
The new Performance Share Plan includes six earning periods, calendar years
2010, 2011 and 2012 and calendar years 2010-2012, 2011-2013 and 2012-2014. The
Board of Directors of the Company will decide on the earnings criteria and on
targets to be established for them for each earning period at the beginning of
each earning period. The potential reward from the Plan for the earning period
2010 will be based on the Group's Earnings before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) and
the potential reward for the earning period 2010-2012 will be based on the
Group's Total Shareholder Return (TSR).

Key Personnel must acquire the Company shares as a prerequisite for
participation in the plan and for receipt of the reward on the basis of the
plan. Key personnel will be entitled to receive shares as reward for fulfilling
such prerequisite.

The potential rewards from the earning periods will be paid partly as the
Company's shares and partly in cash. The cash payment equals to taxes andtax-related costs arising from the reward to the key person. The shares paid
from the earning periods 2010, 2011 and 2012 may not be transferred during the
restriction periods, which will end on 31 December 2012, on 31 December 2013 and
on 31 December 2014.

The Performance Share Plan is directed to approximately 60 people, including the
members of the Group Executive Board. The amount of net rewards to be paid on
the basis of the Performance Share Plan will be a maximum total of 1.000.000
Amer Sports Corporation shares.

Restricted Stock Plan
The new Restricted Stock Plan includes three earning periods, calendar years
2010, 2011 and 2012. The potential reward will be based on continuation of
employment. The potential reward from the earning periods will be paid partly as
the Company's shares and partly in cash. The cash payment equals to taxes and
tax-related costs arising from the reward to the key person. The shares may not
be transferred during the restriction periods, which will end on 31 December
2012, 31 December 2013 and on 31 December 2014.

The Restricted Stock Plan is directed to approximately 30 people, including the
members of the Group Executive Board. The amount of net rewards to be paid on
the basis of the Restricted Stock Plan will be a maximum total of 270,000 Amer
Sports Corporation shares.
