To ensure positive results in its Golf business for 2008, Amer Sports
is announcing the following changes:

In the United States, Wilson will be closing its golf ball production
in Humboldt, Tennessee, on December 14, 2007. In the future all golf
ball production will be outsourced.

In Japan, Amer Sports Japan Inc. and Kasco Inc. have announced a
distribution agreement for the Wilson Golf business. Kasco will begin
to distribute and license Wilson Golf products as of January 1, 2008.
