Claims for damages based on Amer Sports' earlier tobacco business have been dismissed

The District Court of Helsinki has today decided to dismiss all
claims for damages based on Amer Sports Corporation's already
discontinued tobacco business. The District Court of Helsinki ordered
the plaintiff's to compensate all the legal costs Amer Sports
Corporation had demanded.

The decision made by the District Court concerned the actions for
damages taken by three private persons in spring 2005, where they
demanded that Amer Sports Corporation, its subsidiary Amerintie 1 Oy
(formerly Amer Tobacco Ltd) and another tobacco manufacturer jointly
pay them compensation and their legal costs.

Amer Sports withdrew from the tobacco business in March 2004.
