      <div>Johnson Outdoors Inc. (&#8220;JOI&#8221; or &#8220;the Company&#8221;) is a leading global manufacturer and marketer of branded seasonal outdoor recreation products used primarily for fishing, diving, watercraft recreation and camping.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>JOI has a publically available Conflict Minerals Policy that may be found at the following URL: <u>https://www.johnsonoutdoors.com/legal/conflict-minerals-policy</u>.&#160; The content of any website referred to in this Form SD is included for
        general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Form SD.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>The Company has concluded in good faith that during the year ended December 31, 2022, conflict minerals were necessary to the functionality and/or production of products manufactured by JOI (such minerals are referred to as &#8220;necessary conflict
        minerals&#8221;).&#160; Necessary conflict minerals were sourced from the Company&#8217;s multi-tiered supply chain and were ultimately incorporated into its products via both internal manufacturing processes and by component manufacturers.&#160; The Company, through
        its independent third-party consultant, conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#8220;RCOI&#8221;) with due diligence, based on the &#8220;Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of
        Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas,&#8221; for its products which was designed to determine whether any of these conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&#8220;DRC&#8221;) or an adjoining country (together, &#8220;Covered
        Countries&#8221;) or were from recycled or scrap sources. For a description of our due diligence, please see our Conflict Minerals Report (Exhibit 1.01).</div>

      <div style="font-weight: bold;">Introduction:</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Johnson Outdoors Inc. (&#8220;JOI,&#8221; &#8220;we,&#8221; &#8220;us,&#8221; &#8220;our&#8221;) is a publicly traded U.S. company that recognizes itself as an issuer as defined under section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of
        2010, referred to in this report as &#8220;Dodd-Frank.&#8221;</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">JOI manufactures, and contracts to manufacture, products for which conflict minerals as defined by Dodd-Frank are necessary to the functionality of our products. JOI has reason to believe that some of these necessary
        conflict minerals may have originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries, and that some of those minerals may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources. JOI has performed the requisite due diligence regarding the source
        and chain of custody of the 3TG conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold) in its mineral supply chain in the most recently completed calendar year, also known as Reporting Year 2022 (RY2022). JOI continues to comply with all obligations
        as an issuer under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) by implementing, executing, managing, and continually improving our Conflict Minerals Program as mandated by the legislation, and reporting our
        findings to the SEC.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Filing this Conflict Minerals Report with our Form SD fulfills the requirements of Rule 13p-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#8220;Conflict Minerals Rule&#8221; or the &#8220;Rule&#8221;). This report includes
        elements, efforts, results, and conclusions of JOI&#8217;s compliance and due diligence activities mandated by applicable SEC requirements.</div>

      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Johnson Outdoors Inc. supports and aims to create a clean and responsible minerals trade program that encourages responsibly sourcing of 3TG.<font style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);">&#160;</font>JOI also supports the
        Responsible Minerals Initiative&#8217;s (RMI) Responsible <font style="font-style: normal;">Minerals</font> Assurance Process (RMAP) and supports continued economic relationships with conflict-free smelters or refiners (SORs) in Covered Countries (CCs).
        CCs are defined as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and its nine adjoining countries: Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">This Conflict Minerals Report is inclusive for all JOI products at a company level, and all covered products in all JOI business groups. This report may be found on our website at: <u>https://www.johnsonoutdoors.com/legal/conflict-minerals-policy</u>.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;">JOI&#8217;s Conflict Minerals Program:</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Johnson Outdoors is committed to complying with federal laws and regulations requiring disclosure of the use of conflict minerals. We have established a formal Conflict Minerals policy, organized a cross-functional
        dedicated conflict-minerals working team, proactively administered an internationally recognized due diligence framework, and developed an internal management system to oversee our supply chain due diligence process.&#160; Annually, JOI evaluates 100%
        of active first-tier suppliers in our supply chain as well as the assessment of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that supply parts to JOI that may contain 3TG.</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;"><font style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128);"> </font><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">In addition to evaluating all SORs identified in JOI&#8217;s conflict minerals supply chain regarding their possible operations in CCs, JOI conducts multi-layered due diligence to assess the locations and mines of origin
        of those SORs believed to have a presence in or through CCs, anywhere from point of extraction to end use. All results in this Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) are based on activities during the window in which the due diligence was performed for
        RY2022.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">While our continued efforts in 2022 have not provided us with enough information to conclusively determine whether our products contain 3TG (as defined below) that directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed
        groups in the DRC or surrounding countries (the &#8220;Covered Countries&#8221;), our efforts in 2022 continued to improve overall supply chain transparency and create further awareness within our organization regarding conflict minerals compliance that will
        allow us to improve due diligence and mitigate risk in 2023 and beyond.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">In addition to performing due diligence efforts to ensure that no 3TG SORs that may be tied to or benefit armed groups are present in our conflict minerals supply chain, JOI takes annual measures to promote
        responsible sourcing from, and economic relationships with, legitimate SORs of 3TG from the DRC and its nine adjoining countries.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Details of JOI&#8217;s annual Conflict Minerals Program may be shared upon request.</div>

      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;">Due Diligence:</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">As an issuer under the Conflict Minerals Rule, JOI conforms to the &#8220;Five Step Framework for Risk-Based Due Diligence in the Mineral Supply Chain&#8221; (<font style="font-style: italic;">Annex I</font>) and the &#8220;Model
        Supply Chain Policy for a Responsible Global Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas&#8221; (<font style="font-style: italic;">Annex II</font>) included in the <u>Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
          Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas</u> (Third Edition).</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">The Five Steps outlined by the OECD Guidance are described below. JOI follows each of these steps in the due diligence process to determine and disclose the chain of custody of Conflict Minerals in our supply chain
        as well as the sourcing practices of 3TG SORs identified by our first-tier suppliers and OEMs.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Step 1: Establish strong company management systems.</div>
      <div>Step 2: Identify and assess risk in the supply chain.</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks.</div>
      <div>Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter due diligence.</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Step 5: Report on supply chain due diligence.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Part of JOI&#8217;s due diligence is making Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiries (RCOI) required to identify the chain of custody and traceability in our supply chain of conflict minerals that may originate from CCs.
        Regardless of SOR risk, all first-tier suppliers are directed by JOI to perform their own due diligence regarding any and all SORs that are listed on their Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), and verify the legitimacy of identified SORs in
        their supply chains. Additionally, JOI&#8217;s RCOI process specifies other supplier compliance obligations, expectations, and performance risks. These are communicated to all first-tier suppliers as well as SORs in multiple attempts and escalations as
        deemed necessary.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;">Results of Due Diligence:</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div>We used a global risk-based approach to identify suppliers providing products to JOI which we considered to be at risk of containing 3TG minerals, and therefore subject to RCOI obligations. We require these suppliers to complete the current
        version of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). The RCOI inquiry received from JOI suppliers provides us with the identity and location of the SOR&#160; for the 3TG in our Covered
        Products. We sent RCOIs to 129 suppliers and instructed them to complete the CMRT and return it to us.&#160; We received 116 responses, which represents a 90% response rate. This was higher than our supplier engagement rate from the previous year (2021
        response rate was 74%). The majority of our responding in-scope suppliers provided data at a Company Level or Divisional Level.&#160; As a result, we were unable to definitively determine whether our specified products that contain 3TG minerals may have
        directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups.&#160; Based on the due diligence performed, we are filing our CMR as undeterminable at the Company Level.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div>For 2022, the responses received from the Supplier Group identified 341 unique RMI-recognized SORs, of which 171 were identified as possibly having a presence in Covered Countries and&#160; participating in the RMAP program during the time of the
        research conducted or have committed to undergo an RMAP assessment, completed the relevant documents, and scheduled the on-site assessment.&#160; The names of these SORs and additional details of our due diligence process may be provided upon request.</div>

      </div>
      <div style="font-weight: bold;">Improvements:</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Improvements and recommendations for improvements are communicated annually to JOI support staff, business group leaders, legal personnel and senior management as part of JOI&#8217;s company-wide commitment to the success
        and evolution of our Conflict Minerals Program.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Continuous improvements are made to increase the following: response rate of supplier RCOIs, especially suppliers of electrical and electronic equipment; identification of valid SORs; identification of valid SORs
        having possible presences in CCs and the locations of their operations; and evaluation of ongoing, and identification of additional, due diligence regarding high-risk SORs.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Additional information regarding statistical improvements may be shared upon request.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;">Determination:</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">JOI has evaluated 100% of all in-scope active first-tier suppliers in our minerals supply chain to determine, to the best of our knowledge, the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals. This evaluation
        includes RCOIs that request the completion of the industry standard CMRT to collect and report on 3TG SORs in our supply chain. The RCOI request goes beyond first-tier suppliers and OEMs, and seeks to directly interact with 3TG SORs to determine
        conflict-free status and country of origin of 3TG.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Based on the comprehensive results from our RCOI efforts for identifying all relevant 3TG SORs in our supply chain, we concluded for RY2022 that certain SORs in our conflict minerals supply chain either do have, or
        may have, facilities that source 3TG from CCs and/or may have some type of operations or trade routes, from extraction to end use, in or through CCs.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Based on our due diligence, JOI is unable to conclusively confirm that 100% of the 3TG in our conflict minerals supply chain is conflict-free. We can, however, state that none of the SORs identified by our first-tier
        suppliers or OEMs have been confirmed to us as sourcing 3TG that directly or indirectly finances or benefits armed groups in or out of CCs. The additional risk-based due diligence we performed allows us to reasonably conclude that no 3TG SORs in
        our supply chain, in or out of CCs, are known to have participated in direct or indirect criminal mining activities, other illegal activities, have association with entities on the OFAC and/or SDN lists or US sanctioned lists, or have ties to human
        rights violations.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;">Planned Risk Mitigation and Future Due Diligence Measures:</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">JOI follows the OECD Guidance to design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks. JOI&#8216;s Conflict Minerals Program includes routine tasks to address risks and planned risk mitigation to identify and
        remove possible sources of SORs that may support or benefit armed groups in CCs.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">JOI&#8217;s efforts for planned risk mitigation and due diligence measures are designed to ensure and promote a clean and responsible minerals trade throughout our minerals supply chain.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Routine evaluation of all tasks in our Conflict Minerals Program and their associated risks is performed to reveal possible areas for improvements&#160; that are made to business group leaders and senior management.</div>

      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Following the globally-accepted standard for supply chain due diligence, the &#8220;OECD Due Diligence Guidance Third Edition (OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected
        and High-Risk Areas),&#8221; JOI has made a reasonable good faith effort to identify the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in our supply chain that are necessary to the production of applicable JOI products. Included in these good-faith
        efforts are JOI&#8217;s collection and evaluation of CMRT information regarding 3TG SORs in our supply chain as provided by our first-tier and in-scope suppliers, and original equipment manufacturers. Additionally, by adopting the OECD-recommended
        guidance steps, JOI has been able to identify and respond to risks in our 3TG supply chain for both suppliers and SORs, implement our due diligence process successfully, and continue to improve our processes and complete all requirements mandated
        to us as an issuer as defined under Dodd-Frank.</div>

      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">To the best of our knowledge, the results reflected in this Conflict Minerals Report are accurate and true based on the window of research during which all required activities were performed.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Although JOI has fulfilled all requisite due diligence and recommended guidance steps for Conflict Minerals compliance, it is possible that the information in this CMR may include unknown errors or omissions. Errors
        or omissions may be the result of information as supplied in CMRTs, information provided by the RMI, and other information gathered from public resources. All information in this report is limited to the time constraint under which this information
        was researched and evaluated.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">In order to satisfy the requirement regarding early warning risk-awareness, JOI maintains an early warning risk-awareness conflict minerals grievance mechanism. This online and open mechanism is designed to allow JOI
        to receive any additional relevant information that may not have been uncovered through our due diligence process in supply chain transparency as it relates to conflict minerals. Any information found to be contradictory to this Conflict Minerals
        Report may be communicated to JOI through this grievance mechanism which may be found at the following URL: <u>https://www.johnsonoutdoors.com/legal</u><font style="font-weight: bold;">.</font></div>
