According to information received by Amer Sports Corporation, the two private
individuals who brought claims for damages against Amer Sports Corporation in
2005 in connection with its discontinued tobacco business have withdrawn their
petition for leave to appeal and their appeal in the Supreme Court. The judgment
passed by the Helsinki Court of Appeal on May 31, 2010 will thus be the final
ruling on the matter. The Court of Appeal dismissed all claims for damages
against Amer Sports Corporation.

The Court of Appeal did not amend the judgments passed in the matter by Helsinki
District Court in 2008, where all claims made by the claimants had also been
dismissed.

The case concerned claims for damages brought by two private individuals,
whereby they claimed damages and legal costs jointly and severally from Amer
Sports Corporation and its subsidiary Amerintie 1 Oy (previously Amer-Tupakka
Oy) and another tobacco manufacturer.

Amer Sports Corporation fully divested the tobacco business in March 2004.
