<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
February 20, 2004, the Company received a nonbinding proposal to acquire outstanding
shares of Class A and Class B common stock of the Company for a cash price of $18.00 per
share. The proposal is from Samuel C. Johnson (majority shareholder and director of the
Company) and Helen P. Johnson-Leipold (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and director
of the Company), and pertains to all shares of the Company not already owned by them, any
member of their family or entities controlled by them. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;According
to the proposal, the intent is to return full ownership in the Company to the Johnson
family, and for all other holders of outstanding common stock to receive cash for their
shares, through a negotiated merger transaction. The proposal also states that Mr. Johnson
and Ms. Johnson&#150;Leipold have no interest in selling their shares and will not support
an alternative transaction. The proposal further states that no changes are anticipated in
the Company&#146;s current business as a result of the proposed transaction. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
response to the proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company has appointed a special
committee of independent directors to evaluate the proposal on behalf of the Company. The
members of the special committee are Thomas F. Pyle, Jr., Terry E. London and John M.
Fahey, Jr. The special committee has the authority to retain its own independent financial
and legal advisors. </FONT></P>

proxy, please promptly complete, sign, date and mail the enclosed proxy card(s) (or, if
applicable, follow the instructions for voting by telephone or via Internet supplied to
you by your bank or brokerage firm). If you have already returned your proxy, you do not
need to return the enclosed proxy unless you wish to change your vote, which you may do by
completing, signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card(s) (or, if applicable, by
following the instructions for voting by telephone or via Internet supplied to you by your

In any event, execution of a proxy will not affect a shareholder&#146;s right to attend
the adjourned Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Presence at the adjourned Annual
Meeting of a shareholder who has signed a proxy does not itself revoke a proxy. Any
shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by giving
notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company or by giving notice in open meeting at
the reconvened Annual Meeting. </FONT></P>
