Amer Sports confirms receipt of an indication of interest from a consortium
including ANTA Sports Products

Amer Sports Corporation notes recent media speculation and confirms that it has
received a non-binding preliminary indication of interest (the "Indication of
Interest") from a consortium comprising ANTA Sports Products Limited ("ANTA")
and the Asian private equity firm FountainVest Partners ("FountainVest") to
acquire the entire share capital of Amer Sports for cash consideration (the
"Consortium").

The Consortium has stated that making a cash tender offer on the basis of the
Indication of Interest is subject to a number of conditions, including
conducting a due diligence investigation, approval of the Board of Directors of
ANTA and the Investment Committee of FountainVest, availability of financing
from identified financing sources and receipt of a recommendation from the Board
of Directors of Amer Sports. Completion of any such cash tender offer would in
turn be subject to further conditions, including approval by shareholders
holding at least 90% of the shares of Amer Sports and receipt of all necessary
regulatory approvals.

At this time, Amer Sports is not engaged in any negotiations with the Consortium
and has made no decisions in respect of the Indication of Interest.

Amer Sports will release further information at an appropriate time if an
agreement is reached with the Consortium in respect of a transaction or any
discussions are terminated or abandoned.
