QUOTE FROM THE CEO

“During the quarter we strengthened our position as planned in sports and sports
apparel, especially in our male target market. In one of our consumer surveys,
25 percent of respondents said they would buy athletic apparel from us, and in
both the Netherlands and Norway we ranked fourth among men. We succeeded at the
same time in maintaining our strong position in men’s underwear, where we remain
number 1 in all our priority markets,” said CEO Henrik Bunge.
