Doug Bergeron, through DGB Investment, Inc., filed definitive additional proxy soliciting materials urging Ethan Allen shareholders to vote for his full slate of five director nominees at the November 4, 2026 annual meeting, two days before the vote. The filing reiterates claims of two decades of underperformance, criticizes the incumbent board for scheduling Q1 results after the vote and for failing to disclose director Cynthia Tsai's litigation history, and notes that all three leading proxy advisory firms (Glass Lewis, Egan-Jones, and ISS) recommend voting for Bergeron's nominees or against certain incumbents.

• Bergeron beneficially owns approximately 5.2% of Ethan Allen shares.
• Annual meeting is November 4, 2026; Bergeron urges vote on WHITE card for all five nominees.
• Glass Lewis and Egan-Jones recommend voting FOR all five Bergeron nominees and WITHHOLD from all five incumbents.
• ISS recommends withholding votes from Chairman/CEO Farooq Kathwari and Lead Independent Director David Sable.
