<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>As previously announced on October
29, 2004, the board of directors of Johnson Outdoors approved a definitive merger
agreement with JO Acquisition Corp. under which JO Acquisition Corp. will acquire all of
Johnson Outdoors&#146; outstanding shares for $20.10 per share in cash. The transaction,
if approved, is expected to be completed shortly after the March 22, 2005 shareholder
vote. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Under the terms of the all-cash offer
of $20.10 per share, which represents a 21.2% premium to the average closing price of
Johnson Outdoors Class A common stock for the 30 days prior to the Buy-Out Group&#146;s
initial $18.00 offer and a 53.7% premium to the 52-week average closing price prior to the
February 20, 2004 announcement of the offer, Johnson Outdoors&#146; unaffiliated
shareholders will receive guaranteed value for their investment. As the Company noted in
its definitive proxy statement that it recently mailed to its shareholders, the Board of
Directors urges all shareholders who have not already done so to vote FOR the merger by
mailing in their proxy cards TODAY. </FONT></P>
