We have followed developments in the furniture market closely, spoken extensively with other furniture companies (both publicly listed and privately owned), and studied various strategies for establishing, maintaining, and growing a furniture business.</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#160;</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">We believe the combination of an attractive business model, sound fundamental financial characteristics, and an enviable position as an industry leader make HOFT an attractive long-term investment. Unfortunately, these strengths have not recently translated into operational success or shareholder returns. From the second fiscal quarter of 2023 to the second fiscal quarter of 2026, trailing-twelve-month revenue has declined by 33.8%, and over the same three-year period, trailing-twelve-month operating margin dropped from 1.2% to -2.3%.</font><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;vertical-align:super;font-size:6.7pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">1</font><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;"> Unsurprisingly, the price of HOFT&#x2019;s common stock reflects this unacceptable financial performance, having fallen 43.7%, from $16.13 on August 1, 2022, to $9.08 on August 1, 2025 (in each case, the last business day in the Company&#x2019;s second fiscal quarter).</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#160;</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">As we have previously communicated,</font><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;vertical-align:super;font-size:6.7pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">2</font><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;"> we attribute HOFT&#x2019;s financial woes to several specific and controllable factors, including, but not limited to, an acquisition strategy that lacks forethought (including the catastrophic acquisition of Home Meridian International, Inc. in 2016 for $106.3 million &#x2013; an amount greater than the current market capitalization of the Company); a calamitous entry into, and exit from, the clubs channel; a reckless warehousing strategy; and the spiraling cost of implementing an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, on which the Company has spent $17.2 million to date.</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#160;</font></p></div>

Indeed, no single director reports meaningful ownership of the Company&#x2019;s common stock, and most of the reported ownership has been acquired through grants of common stock; open market purchases by directors are few and far between. We routinely encourage directors to accumulate meaningful personal ownership of an issuer&#x2019;s equity securities to clearly express their alignment with the shareholders they represent.</font><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;"> </font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#160;</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">Of particular concern is the common stock ownership of Chairman W. Christopher Beeler, Jr., who has been a director of the Company since 1993, lead director from 2011 to 2016 (during which time the Company undertook the acquisition of Home Meridian International, Inc.), and chairman since 2023. Yet over 32 years, many market cycles, and several economic cycles, Mr. Beeler has managed to accumulate only 63,227 shares of common stock. In fact, over the past 20 years, Mr. Beeler has only executed a single open market purchase of the Company&#x2019;s common stock &#x2013; an infrequency suggestive of a lack of commitment to the creation of shareholder value with which he is charged as a director.</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">&#160;</font></p><p style="font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;text-align:left;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">After careful consideration of the confluence of these issues, earlier this year, GVIC expressed interest in obtaining governance rights, and on April 21, 2025, representatives from GVIC met with Mr. Beeler, CEO Jeremy Hoff, and CFO C. Earl Armstrong III. During that meeting, we discussed many of the issues faced by the Company in the past, and the challenges facing the Company in the future.
