Communications between Shareholders and
the Board of Directors; Director Attendance at Annual Meetings
Shareholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by writing to the Board of
Directors (or, at the shareholder’s option, to a specific director) care of the Secretary of the Company at Johnson Outdoors Inc., 555 Main Street, Suite 342, Racine, Wisconsin 53403. Subject to the conditions described below, the Secretary
will ensure that this communication (assuming it is properly addressed to the Board of Directors or to a specific director)
is delivered to the Board of Directors or the specified director, as the case may be. Each such communication should indicate that the sender is a shareholder of the Company and that the sender is directing the communication to one or more
individual directors or to the Board of Directors as a whole.
All communications will be compiled by the Company’s Secretary and submitted to the
Board of Directors or the individual directors on an as needed basis unless such communications are considered, in the reasonable judgment of the Secretary, to be improper for submission to the intended recipient(s). Examples of shareholder
communications that would be considered improper for submission include, without limitation, customer complaints, solicitations, communications that do not relate directly or indirectly to the Company or its business or communications that
relate to improper or irrelevant topics. The Secretary may also attempt to handle a communication directly where appropriate, such as where the communication is a request for information about the Company or where it is a stock-related matter.
Directors are encouraged to attend the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All
the incumbent directors who were serving as a director at the time of the meeting attended the Company’s Virtual Annual Meeting of Shareholders that occurred on March 1, 2023.
