Rapala VMC Corporation Announces Executive Changes Rapala VMC continues its strategic plan introduced this year. The Group is working continuously to become more agile on all operational levels, fulfilling the promise of being the best partner in the business. This approach is best enhanced by bringing decision making closer to the local markets and defining clear country and regional accountabilities. Following the transition in movement, Executive Vice Presidents Päivi Ohvo, Enrico Ravenni and Joni Tuominen have decided to pursue new career opportunities outside the Rapala VMC Group. All three are highly motivated to assist in transferring their current duties to the other members of the Group during the transition period. This process will start immediately, and the Group is confident the change of duties will be performed in a timely and business-first manner. Ohvo, Ravenni and Tuominen will leave the Global Management Team (“GMT”) on June 14, 2024. Executive Vice President David Neill will also step down from the GMT and return to his former position of President of Rapala Canada. Neill will be reporting to Marcus Twidale, President of Rapala USA. The Group will not look for replacement for exiting GMT members and the GMT member count will reduce the number of GMT members from eleven to seven. Responsibilities of the exiting GMT members are distributed between the remaining seven GMT members or reorganized otherwise. Chief Operating Officer Jean-Philippe Nicolle will strongly focus on European performance improvement initiatives in addition to his global duties. Nicolle will report to Deputy CEO Cyrille Viellard and will continue as a member of the GMT. 공시 • Apr 19

Rapala VMC Corporation Updates Earnings Outlook for the Full Year 2023 Rapala VMC Corporation updated earnings outlook for the full year 2023. Full year comparable operating profit (excluding mark-to-market valuations of operative currency derivatives and other items affecting comparability) for 2023 is expected to be significantly below the previous year. Profitability will be significantly below last year due to challenging market conditions caused by prolonged destocking at retail and wholesale levels. This is a result of supply chain bottlenecks and a shift in consumer spending, leading to decreased sales in major markets. Pre-sales for the upcoming winter season have also been below expectations. To mitigate the impact of lower turnover, the Group has already started implementing cost-savings. These include, among other measures, a restructuring of the Helsinki headquarters which was finalized in June. Previous Outlook for 2023 (issued on February 10, 2023): Group expects 2023 full year comparable operating profit (excluding mark-to-market valuations of operative currency derivatives and other items affecting comparability) to decrease from 2022.
