(\u201cEthan Allen\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (NYSE: ETD) with beneficial ownership, collectively with his affiliates and associates, of approximately 5.2% of Ethan Allen\u2019s outstanding common stock, today sent a letter to the Company\u2019s stockholders contrasting the track records and qualifications of the incumbent members of Ethan Allen\u2019s Board of Directors (the \u201cBoard\u201d) with those of Mr. Bergeron\u2019s five director nominees seeking election to the Board at the Company\u2019s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the \u201cAnnual Meeting\u201d). The letter also outlines the credible, actionable plan Mr. Bergeron and his nominees have developed to help restore profitable growth and drive sustainable shareholder value at Ethan Allen, while maintaining a regular dividend.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the letter, Mr. Bergeron challenges the Board\u2019s portrayal of continuity as the safer path forward, arguing that continuity at Ethan Allen means continued decline and continued irrelevance, and a regular dividend under threat of extinction. He highlights the Company\u2019s deteriorating earnings power and its aging customer base, and warns that Ethan Allen is a shrinking company whose recovery is growing more difficult and more costly by the day, necessitating an urgent change in leadership and direction.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe full text of the letter is available <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.prod.website-files.com%2F6a5f6eeefeff83512078075d%2F6ad0303ea9f05de41c067525_Doug%2520Bergeron%2520Letter%2520to%2520Ethan%2520Allen%2520Shareholders%2520-%2520The%2520People%2520and%2520Plan%2520to%2520Renew%2520an%2520American%2520Icon.pdf&amp;esheet=54622452&amp;newsitemid=20261015851798&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=2&amp;md5=0ccb0b77cf4c821b11815eb6e51c78dd\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\nAdditional materials related to Mr. Bergeron\u2019s campaign, including video interviews with his five director candidates, may be found at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.EthanAllenGrowth.com&amp;esheet=54622452&amp;newsitemid=20261015851798&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.EthanAllenGrowth.com&amp;index=3&amp;md5=87c3f7bb827bb5f5fb10b4df8ffa577a\">www.EthanAllenGrowth.com<\/a>.
