(\u201cEthan Allen\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (NYSE: ETD), a leading interior design company, manufacturer and retailer in the home furnishings marketplace, today outlined five key reasons to vote \u201c<b>FOR<\/b>\u201d the Company\u2019s highly qualified director nominees on the <b>BLUE<\/b> proxy card in a mailing to shareholders.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company\u2019s Board of Directors (the \u201cBoard\u201d) encourages all shareholders to review the mailing and the investor presentation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2026 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=euGz2isRnVVaW6Sg9pZrKDx0r2jNmA40bN3mRJtyfYCHE_Ltx7C-B0ZruBOJGGgZZM8_FAup2JuT-ZiU3KGMJlF1Mukc69U40GDTL77e_eY=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">www.VoteEthanAllen.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Earlier today, Ethan Allen announced the release date for its fiscal 2027 first quarter results, consistent with its established reporting process. For each of the past four fiscal first quarters, the Company has announced its earnings release date exactly three weeks before reporting results, providing consistent advance notice. The timing of the Company\u2019s financial reporting follows that established process and has not been altered by the proxy contest.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">DGB asks, \u201cWhere are the numbers?\u201d Shareholders should ask the same of DGB\u2019s plan. DGB projects materially higher revenue and profitability but has not substantiated the customer-acquisition, productivity, store-ramp, working-capital and investment assumptions needed to achieve those outcomes. DGB has not disclosed how the combined execution of its proposed initiatives would affect margins, cash flow or capital returns.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In today\u2019s mailing, Ethan Allen highlights the following:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Foundation built for profitable, sustainable growth while preserving financial strength;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Strength of the vertically integrated business built on more than 500 interior designers, Company-owned North American manufacturing; and white-glove national logistics;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Operating as one debt-free system, with strong margins, cash flow and robust balance sheet.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">DGB\u2019s attempt to separate share-price appreciation from dividends does not change total shareholder return: dividends are cash returns actually received by shareholders. Capital returns have not prevented Ethan Allen from funding growth; the Company remains debt-free and continues to invest in marketing, digital, product and design centers.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company has substantially repositioned its design centers and logistics footprint, nearly doubled its product assortment, resumed new design center expansion and delivered record close rates and higher average order values.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The operating platform is materially different from 2015. Recent revenue pressure reflects lower State Department, China and dealer sales as well as softer core retail traffic, orders and delivered volume. The growth strategy is designed to increase productivity across the existing network and add new design centers selectively \u2013 it does not depend on new stores alone.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Board is also leading a search with a nationally recognized firm, evaluating internal and external candidates, and has committed to publicly announcing the next CEO no later than June 30, 2027. Shareholders are best served by supporting the Company\u2019s nominees over DGB\u2019s candidates based on the following five key matters: DGB is not offering shareholders a unique path to leadership change; it is asking them to transfer an active CEO search to a wholly new Board.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">\n          <b>DGB has not shown that its plan is better.<\/b> Its priorities \u2013 brand, product, customer acquisition, digital and omnichannel, design center productivity and investment \u2013 substantially overlap with initiatives already underway at Ethan Allen. DGB has not demonstrated why its approach would produce better results or justify replacing all five directors.<b> DGB\u2019s latest release does nothing to close that gap.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">\n          <b>DGB is asking shareholders to endorse Board change before it has a validated plan.<\/b> When DGB nominated a full slate on August 5, it said it would share its plan \u201cin the coming weeks.\u201d Its current strategic framework was therefore presented only after it had already called for the Board\u2019s removal.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">\n          <b>DGB\u2019s projected outcomes do not establish that its alternative will deliver better results.<\/b> Its revenue, margin and reinvestment assumptions do not substantiate the customer-acquisition, store-ramp, cannibalization, designer-capacity, working-capital and implementation requirements needed to achieve the results it projects. DGB\u2019s own first 100 days call for validating key assumptions and economics before finalizing operating and investment initiatives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">\n          <b>DGB applies a double standard to the two slates. <\/b>It judges Ethan Allen\u2019s nominees against Company performance while largely presenting its own nominees through biographies and claimed capabilities. Applying the same outcome-based lens yields a markedly different picture: there are significant losses, negative TSR, revenue contraction, bankruptcy and litigation outcomes associated with companies highlighted in DGB\u2019s nominee biographies.<b> Shareholders should apply the same test \u2013 qualifications, relevant experience and actual outcomes \u2013 to both slates.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">\n          <b>Ethan Allen\u2019s nominees bring<\/b><br \/>\n          <b>more<\/b><br \/>\n          <b>directly<\/b><br \/>\n          <b>relevant<\/b><br \/>\n          <b>experience<\/b><br \/>\n          <b>for the work ahead.<\/b> The slate combines current public-company and public-retail board experience with expertise in brand and digital, vertically integrated operations, design-center real estate, finance, audit, technology, global logistics, capital allocation and governance. Four of five nominees are independent, and three of four independent directors joined the Board in the past five years.<b> DGB has not demonstrated that replacing any specific Ethan Allen director would strengthen the Board. Instead, any such change would remove relevant expertise and Company-specific knowledge at a critical point in the execution of the growth plan and CEO transition, introducing unnecessary disruption and execution risk.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">DGB lays out 21 strategic priorities and enablers but has not provided the bottoms-up financial analysis showing how the combined program would be funded and translated into its projected results. Its own first-100-days framework acknowledges that priorities, economics and trade-offs still need to be validated after the election.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Board is executing an orderly leadership transition and many of the strategic priorities DGB calls for are already underway. DGB\u2019s latest release does not demonstrate that its strategy is superior, validate the assumptions behind its projected outcomes or show why replacing any Ethan Allen director would leave shareholders better off. On November 4, shareholders should focus on which directors are best equipped to execute the growth plan and complete an orderly CEO transition.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <b>YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">For more information regarding Ethan Allen\u2019s strategy and Board nominees, please visit:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=euGz2isRnVVaW6Sg9pZrKDx0r2jNmA40bN3mRJtyfYA7gZ5xR6SrLq_-PdEpCKIXiuEEXQ9XpCklfPDeUFvWyss6U4COQkBS7K4qjk4DOQM=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">www.VoteEthanAllen.com<\/a>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Please refer to the BLUE proxy card for instructions on voting by internet, telephone, or mail.
