Section 7 - Regulation FD
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 9, 2015, the Defense Logistics Agency (the “DLA”) published a notice on the U.S. Department of Defense's website indicating that Johnson Outdoors Inc. (the “Company”) was awarded a maximum $200 million firm-fixed-price, indefinite delivery contract (the “Contract”) with a one year base period and containing an option for three additional one-year renewal periods. The Contract relates to commercial tents to be purchased by certain branches of the U.S. military.
The Company is issuing this Form 8-K to clarify the information published by the DLA with respect to the Contract award noted above. The Company, along with several other vendors, has been approved as an eligible vendor under the Contract. The Contract is not a firm order for future delivery of Company products. Instead, the Contract makes the Company eligible (along with certain other approved vendors) for future orders of military tents under the Contact. At this time, the Company has not received any orders under the Contract and there is no guaranty that any future orders of military tents will in fact be received by the Company.
The information in this Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise stated in such filing.
