Information for U.S. Shareholders

The Tender Offer is being made for the securities of Amer Sports, a public
limited liability company incorporated under Finnish law, and is subject to
Finnish disclosure and procedural requirements, which are different from those
of the United States of America. The Tender Offer will be made in the United
States of America in compliance with Section 14(e) of the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the applicable rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation 14E (subject to any
exemptions or relief therefrom, if applicable) and otherwise in accordance with
the requirements of Finnish law. Accordingly, the Tender Offer will be subject
to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to the
Tender Offer timetable, settlement procedures, withdrawal, waiver of conditions
and timing of payments that are different from those applicable under U.S.
domestic tender offer procedures and laws.

To the extent permissible under applicable laws and regulations, including Rule
14e-5 under the Exchange Act, and in accordance with normal Finnish practice,
the Offeror and its affiliates or its broker and its broker's affiliates (acting
as agents or on behalf of the Offeror or its affiliates, as applicable) may from
time to time after the date of this stock exchange release, and other than
pursuant to the Tender Offer, directly or indirectly purchase, or arrange to
purchase shares of Amer Sports or any securities that are convertible into,
exchangeable for or exercisable for shares of Amer Sports. These purchases may
occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions
at negotiated prices. In no event will any such purchases be made for a price
per share that is greater than the price offered in the Tender Offer. To the
extent information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made
public in Finland, such information will be disclosed by means of a press
release or other means reasonably calculated to inform U.S. shareholders of Amer
Sports of such information. No purchases will be made outside of the Tender
Offer in the United States of America by or on behalf of the Offeror or its
affiliates. In addition, the financial advisors to the Offeror may also engage
in ordinary course trading activities in securities of Amer Sports, which may
include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities. To the extent
required in Finland, any information about such purchases will be made public in
Finland in the manner required by Finnish law.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Tender Offer by a U.S. holder of Amer Sports
shares may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and
under applicable state and local, as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each
holder of Amer Sports shares is urged to consult his independent professional
advisor regarding the tax consequences of accepting the Tender Offer.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any securities
commission of any state of the United States has (a) approved or disapproved the
Tender Offer, (b) passed upon the merits or fairness of the Tender Offer, or (c)
passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the disclosure in this stock exchange
release. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United
States.

American depositary shares and American depositary receipts

Amer Sports has in place an ADR program in respect of its shares. The Tender
Offer will not be made for the ADSs, nor for the ADRs. However, the Tender Offer
will be made for the shares underlying the ADSs. Holders of ADSs and ADRs are
encouraged to consult with the appropriate depositary regarding the tender of
shares that are represented by ADSs.

Holders of ADSs may present their ADSs to the depositary bank for cancellation
and (upon compliance with the terms of the deposit agreement relating to the ADR
program concerning the shares, including payment of the depositary's fees and
any applicable transfer fees, taxes and governmental charges) delivery of the
underlying shares to them. The Tender Offer may then be accepted in accordance
with its terms for such shares delivered to holders of ADSs upon such
cancellation. Holders of ADSs should adhere to the timelines that may be imposed
on their cancellation of the ADSs in order to be able to tender the underlying
shares into the Tender Offer.

THIS STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE MAY NOT BE RELEASED OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTED, IN
WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO CANADA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA OR
SOUTH AFRICA OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE TENDER OFFER WOULD BE
PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

THIS STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE IS NOT A TENDER OFFER DOCUMENT AND AS SUCH DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OR INVITATION TO MAKE A SALES OFFER. IN PARTICULAR, THIS
STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE IS NOT AN OFFER TO BUY OR THE SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO
SELL ANY SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN, AND IS NOT AN EXTENSION OF THE TENDER

TENDER OFFER DOCUMENT. OFFERS WILL NOT BE MADE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN ANY
JURISDICTION WHERE EITHER THE TENDER OFFER OR ACCEPTANCE THEREOF IS PROHIBITED
BY APPLICABLE LAW OR WHERE ANY TENDER OFFER DOCUMENT OR REGISTRATION OR OTHER
REQUIREMENTS WOULD APPLY IN ADDITION TO THOSE UNDERTAKEN IN FINLAND.

THE TENDER OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN ANY JURISDICTION
WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND, WHEN PUBLISHED, THE TENDER OFFER
