STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE
February 20, 2009 at 8:30 am
Amer Sport has mandated Nordea Markets to act as a sole bookrunner on
a potential hybrid capital issue. The issue is expected to be
launched in the near future subject to market conditions. The size of
the issue is EUR 50-75 million.
Hybrid bond is a bond that is subordinated to the company's other
debt obligations and will be treated as equity in the IFRS financial
statements. The dates of interest payment are at the issuer's
discretion. Hybrid bond holding does not confer the right to vote at
shareholder meetings and will not dilute the holdings of the current
shareholders.
