Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Helen P. Johnson-Leipold reports these shares as settlor and beneficiary of The Helen Johnson-Leipold Third Party Gift and Inheritance Trust (the "Gift Trust").
(2) As controlling shareholder of Johnson Financial Group, Inc. ("JFG"), the parent corporation of the trustee of the trust which beneficially owns the reported shares. Ms. Johnson-Leipold disclaims beneficial ownership in all shares held by JFG in which she does not have a pecuniary interest.
(3) As trustee of the Samuel C. Johnson Family Trust (the "Family Trust"), which beneficially owns the shares as the controlling shareholder of a corporation. Ms. Johnson-Leipold disclaims beneficial ownership in all shares held by the Family Trust in which she does not have a pecuniary interest.
(4) Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports these shares (a) as controlling shareholder of parent corporation of Johnson Bank, the trustee of certain trusts which directly, or indirectly as shareholders of certain corporations and as general partners of certain limited partnerships, beneficially own reported shares; (b) as a shareholder of a corporation and a general partner of a limited partnership, which indirectly owns reported shares; or (c) as settlor and beneficiary of the Trust, which beneficially owns reported shares directly or indirectly as a shareholder of certain corporations and as the general partner of certain limited partnerships (collectively, the "Controlling Entities").
(5) Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports all shares held by certain corporations of which the Trust or the other trusts referenced above may be deemed to be a controlling shareholder. In addition, Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports all shares held by certain limited partnerships of which the Trust or such other trusts is a general partner. Due to the nature of such limited partnerships, it is impractical to determine the Trust's or such other trusts' proportionate interest (as defined by Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(ii)(B)) in such limited partnerships. Ms. Johnson-Leipold disclaims beneficial ownership in all shares held by the Controlling Entities in which she does not have a pecuniary interest.
(6) Reflects shares held by the Johnson Outdoors 401(k) Retirement and Savings Plan over which Ms. Johnson-Leipold has sole voting power.
