Amer Sports, Inc. (“Amer Sports,” “we,” “us” or the “Company”), a global group of iconic sports and outdoor brands, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Amer Sports Company (the “Issuer”), has priced an upsized offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior secured notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The size of the offering reflects an increase of $200 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes from the previously announced offering size of $600 million. The Notes will be sold to investors at a price of 100% of the principal amount thereof and will bear an interest rate of 6.75% per annum.

The closing of the offering is expected to occur on February 16, 2024 subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, along with the expected net proceeds from the previously announced new $500 million USD term loan facility, new €700 million EURO term loan facility and borrowings under our previously announced new revolving credit facility (together, the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities”), are expected to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s existing credit facilities, which will be terminated, and to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s existing $90 million bilateral credit facility.

The Notes will be, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) that is a borrower or a guarantor under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Notes and the related guarantees will be secured on a first-priority basis by liens on the same assets that secure the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the transactions on the terms described above, or at all.

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
