FAQ

What insider transaction did Johnson Outdoors (JOUT) report for Katherine Button Bell?

Johnson Outdoors reported that director Katherine Button Bell received 2,314 shares of Class A Common Stock as a restricted stock award. The shares were granted at no cash cost per share and increased her directly owned holdings to 16,917 shares after the transaction.

When do the newly granted restricted shares for Johnson Outdoors (JOUT) vest?

All 2,314 restricted shares granted to director Katherine Button Bell vest on February 27, 2027. This is exactly one year after the February 27, 2026 grant date, meaning she must remain eligible through that anniversary for the full award to vest.

How many Johnson Outdoors (JOUT) shares does Katherine Button Bell own after the award?

After the restricted stock award, Katherine Button Bell directly owns 16,917 shares of Johnson Outdoors Class A Common Stock. This total reflects only current share ownership and excludes certain previously granted restricted stock units that have been vested but deferred.

Are there additional Johnson Outdoors (JOUT) equity awards for Katherine Button Bell not in the ownership total?

Yes. The filing notes three prior restricted stock unit awards for 2,010, 1,279, and 1,140 shares that have already vested. She elected to defer receipt of those underlying shares, so they are not included in the reported beneficially owned total after this transaction.

Did Katherine Button Bell buy Johnson Outdoors (JOUT) shares on the open market?

No. The Form 4 describes the transaction as a grant or award acquisition of 2,314 restricted shares at a price of zero per share. This indicates an equity compensation grant from the company rather than an open-market stock purchase by the director.
