Change in the Fiskars Group Leadership Team

Fiskars Group has appointed Jussi Siitonen as Chief Financial Officer and deputy
to the CEO. He joins Fiskars Group from the leading premium sporting goods
company Amer Sports, where he has been working since 2011 as Chief Financial
Officer. Jussi will join Fiskars Group on November 3, 2021, at the latest. Sari
Pohjonen, currently Chief Financial Officer and deputy to the CEO, has decided
to leave the company. To support the transition, Sari will continue in her role
until Jussi joins the company.

“Fiskars Group has undergone a transformation during the last years into an
integrated consumer goods company. With the completion of the ongoing
Restructuring- and Transformation programs in 2021, the company is entering a
new phase, with an increasing focus on growing the business. I’m glad to welcome
Jussi to our team. He has a strong background from working with great brands on
a global scale. In his previous position, he has been in a central role in
building growth, and we believe he is a great fit to Fiskars.

I would like to express my gratitude to Sari for her outstanding work at
Fiskars. During her time as CFO, she has held a central role in transforming the
company and in establishing new ways of working. For the last years, Fiskars
Group’s profitability has clearly improved and the capital efficiency has
increased. In addition to the role as CFO, she held the position of interim CEO
in 2020. Sari showed exceptional agility and resilience in the challenging
circumstances, while making sure the team delivered outstanding results. Even
more importantly, she has been a beloved and valued colleague and a central part
of the company for years”, said Nathalie Ahlström, President and CEO.

“I look forward to joining Fiskars Group, with its unparalleled portfolio of
brands. The company is in an exciting phase, and I am thrilled to be part of the
journey forward, to realize the potential of the company on a global scale”,
said Jussi Siitonen.

“I wish to thank the company and my colleagues for the time at Fiskars. There
have been several interesting and challenging times, where we have together, as
a team, driven the company forward. At the same time, I’m excited for what’s to
come”, said Sari Pohjonen.

Fiskars Group continues to execute its strategy, with an increasing focus on
growing the business, in line with the long-term financial targets.
Strengthening the unique brand portfolio of internationally loved brands, having
an ambitious sustainability mission and committing to constantly improving the
digital consumer journey form the core of Fiskars’ strategy.

As a result of this change, the Fiskars Group Leadership Team will, effective as
of November 3, 2021, at the latest, consist of the following members:

•    Nathalie Ahlström, President and CEO
•    Jussi Siitonen, Chief Financial Officer & deputy to the CEO
•    Tina Andersson, Chief Consumer and Communications Officer
