(1) The H. Fisk Johnson Third Party Gift and Inheritance Trust (the "Gift Trust") received these shares in a distribution upon the liquidation of a corporation in which Dr. Johnson was a shareholder. The corporation purchased these shares at the closing price of Johnson Outdoors on September 1, 2005.
(2) As settlor and beneficiary of the Gift Trust.
(3) H. Fisk Johnson reports these shares as settlor and beneficiary of the Gift Trust, which is the managing member of the HFJ III Family Line Investments LLC, Series II (the "HFJ LLC"). Dr. Johnson disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares held by the HFJ LLC in which he does not have a pecuniary interest.
(4) H. Fisk Johnson reports these shares as settlor and beneficiary of the H. Fisk Johnson Revocable Trust (the "Trust"), which beneficially owns the reported shares directly, or indirectly as a shareholder of certain corporations and as the general partner of certain limited partnerships. Dr. Johnson reports all shares held by certain corporations of which the Trust may be deemed to be a controlling shareholder. In addition, Dr. Johnson reports all shares held by certain limited partnerships of which the Trust is a general partner. Due to the nature of such limited partnerships, it is impractical to determine the Trust's proportionate interest (as defined by Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(ii)(B)) in such limited partnerships. Dr. Johnson disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares directly or indirectly held by the Trust in which he does not have a pecuniary interest.
(5) H. Fisk Johnson reports these shares as the controlling shareholder of a corporation, which beneficially owns the reported shares directly. Dr. Johnson disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares held by the corporation in which he does not have a pecuniary interest.
(6) H. Fisk Johnson reports these shares as the sole trustee of certain trusts for Johnson family members, which beneficially owns the reported shares directly. Dr. Johnson disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares held by the trusts in which he does not have a pecuniary interest.
