Press Release New Wave Group AB (Publ) Press release New Wave Group AB (publ) New Wave Group Acquires the Craft North America business from Karhu North America Since 1999, the US company Karhu North America LLC (“Karhu”) has been the exclusive distributor in the United States and Canada of products under New Wave Group AB’s sports brand CRAFT. Today, New Wave Group has, through its wholly owned subsidiary New Wave USA Inc, acquired that part of Karhu’s business relating to distribution of CRAFT products, including inventory, certain intellectual property and contract rights. The transaction is structured as an asset acquisition. The initial purchase price amounts to US$ 3 million with an additional contingent price based on the results of the business over the next five years. The total contingent price cannot exceed US$ 4.75 million. Three Karhu employees will transfer in connection with the acquisition. Because the acquired business has been operated within Karhu’s other operations, no separate audited sales and earnings statements are available for the CRAFT distribution business. Based on pro-forma information, the acquired business achieved sales of approximately US$ 6.9 million during the financial year 2012. New Wave Group anticipates that the transaction will result in the realization of additional annual EBITDA of approximately US$ 700,000. The acquired business will be managed by a newly founded US company: Craft Sportswear North America LLC; an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of New Wave USA Inc. The present CEO of Karhu, Huub Valkenburg who was the founder of the CRAFT distribution business in North America, will continue as CEO of the new company, which will still be operated and headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts. New Wave Group believes that the new acquisition and structure will form a strong basis for a further expansion of the CRAFT-brand in the US and Canada during coming years. “We are very proud to have established Craft as a performance apparel brand in North America driving a profitable sustainable business and look forward to growing the brand even more in the years to come,” said Huub Valkenburg, new CEO of Craft Sportswear North America. “As owners of the CRAFT-brand, we are very pleased with the acquisition and believe that this will give New Wave Group a good basis for expanding CRAFT in the US and Canada,” said Torsten Jansson, CEO and president of New Wave Group. New Wave Group AB is listed on NASDAQ OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm. New Wave Group AB is a growth company that designs, acquires and develops brands and products in the corporate promotions, sports, gifts and home furnishings sectors. New Wave Group AB through its US subsidiary owns several businesses in North America including Cutter & Buck, Ahead, Inc. and Paris Glove.

It was signed by Paavo Nurmi in 1963 and sent to the Editor of the Journal. The runner’s statue was commis- sioned in autumn 1924 by the Finnish government. It was the work of sculptor Wäino Aaltonen who was 30 years old at the time. The statue originally stood at the Helsinki Atheneum, and now has returned there. A copy of the original statue was placed in front of the Olympic Stadium in 1952. There are other copies in Nurmi’s home town of Turku, in Jyväskylä, and in “His imprint on the track world was greater than a focal concept in marketing literature and is now Lausanne. any man’s before or after.
