Changes in Amer Sports leadership team

Victor Duran, Amer Sports' SVP, Marketing and Business to Consumer and member of
the Executive Board, is leaving the company to assume a new position as the CEO
of Intersport International Corporation as of January 1, 2017. Michael White,
Amer Sports' Chief Sales Officer and General Manager, EMEA and Americas, is
appointed Amer Sports Chief Commercial Officer with the additional
responsibility for the company's global Business to Consumer and Go to Market
Marketing in addition to his current regional responsibilities. Matt Gold
continues to lead the company's APAC region as General Manager and member of the
Executive Board, given the strategic importance of the region, especially China.
The changes in the Executive Board are effective immediately.

Heikki Takala, President and CEO: "The consumer is today navigating and
purchasing without boundaries across all channels from wholesale to brand stores
to e-commerce, and we continue to evolve our strategy and re-organize ourselves
to respond to the consumer's changing habits and practices. Combining our Go to
Market under one leadership will enable us to accelerate with further scale and
synergies in our commercial operations."

"Over the past six years under Victor Duran's leadership we have transformed
Amer Sports into a leading omni-channel company with world-class e-commerce and
digital consumer engagement and capabilities. We thank Victor for his
contributions to the company, and we wish him all the best for his new exciting
career. Simultaneously, I am reassured that our new one omni-channel commercial
model under Michael White's leadership will enable us to accelerate further."
