Heikki Koponen, Vice President, Legal Affairs, has decided to devote time to his family and will start a sabbatical. His professional life Heikki will continue outside of Amer Sports. Heikki's last working day at Amer Sports is 19th of January, 2007. We have started the search for his successor and will inform about the selection in due time.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank Heikki for his dedication and the work he has done during the past 3,5 years to set up the Corporate legal practices. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
