Outdoors shareholders is scheduled for March 22, 2005, in Racine, Wisconsin, at the
Racine Marriott, starting at 9.30 a.m., during which meeting it will be determined
and announced whether an adequate number of votes have been cast &#147;for&#148;
approval of the merger agreement to allow the return of the Company to private
ownership. Among other required votes, the affirmative vote of at least 80% of all
votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting and 66-2/3% of the votes represented by
outstanding shares of Johnson Outdoors common stock not beneficially owned by members of
the Johnson family participating in the merger or JO Acquisition Corp. is necessary for
the merger agreement to be approved. Should enough votes be cast in favor of
approval of the merger agreement, it is currently expected that the merger would occur
returning the Company to private status within two business days after the date
of the shareholders meeting, if all other conditions to the merger have been
satisfied or waived. </FONT></P>
