Mascot Bidco Oy to Commence Redemption Proceedings in Respect of the Amer Sports Corporation Minority Shares

Mascot Bidco Oy (the "Offeror") commenced on December 20, 2018 a voluntary public cash tender offer recommended by the Board of Directors of Amer Sports Corporation ("Amer Sports") to purchase all the issued and outstanding shares in Amer Sports that are not held by Amer Sports or any of its subsidiaries (the "Tender Offer"). The acceptance period of the Tender Offer commenced on December 20, 2018 and expired on March 7, 2019. The Offeror announced on March 12, 2019 that it will complete the Tender Offer in accordance with its terms and conditions. In addition, the Offeror commenced a subsequent offer period on March 13, 2019, which expired on March 27, 2019.

The Offeror has notified Amer Sports that it holds more than nine-tenths (9/10) of all the shares and votes in Amer Sports, and that it therefore has the right and obligation under Chapter 18, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act to redeem the shares held by other Amer Sports shareholders at fair value. According to the Offeror's notice, the Offeror holds a total of 109,430,925 shares in Amer Sports, corresponding to more than 94 percent of all the shares and votes in Amer Sports (excluding shares held by Amer Sports or any of its subsidiaries).

The Offeror has decided to exercise its redemption right pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act and to redeem all shares held by any other remaining shareholders in Amer Sports (the "Shares" and each of them separately, a "Share"). To implement the redemption of the Shares, the Offeror will initiate arbitration proceedings as provided in the Finnish Companies Act. In such arbitration proceedings, the Offeror will demand that the redemption price for the shares is EUR 40.00 per Share, which is the same price as the consideration paid by the Offeror in the Tender Offer.

According to the Offeror's notice, any Finnish transfer tax deriving from the redemption of the Shares as well as the payments and charges arising from the book-entry registrations carried out as a consequence of the redemption will be borne by the Offeror.
