The Executive Board of adidas AG has decided to increase investment
in the Reebok segment in 2007. This includes investments in
advertising, new media, point-of-sale communication, product
development and initiatives to grow the brand in emerging markets.
Management believes this strategy will significantly strengthen
Reebok’s medium- and long-term position in the marketplace. As a
result, Reebok’s profit growth in 2007 will be lower than originally
expected. Therefore, 2007 net income growth for the Group is now
projected to approach 15% against the 2006 level. Originally, the
Group had expected to grow net income by 20%.

The Group’s medium-term guidance remains unchanged. Detailed guidance
for 2007 will be provided with the announcement of the Group’s 2006
Full Year Results on March 7, 2007.
