Doug Bergeron Releases Investor Presentation Highlighting Urgent Need for Change and Clear Plan to Revitalize Growth at Ethan Allen
Doug Bergeron, holding roughly 5.2% of Ethan Allen, released an investor presentation urging shareholders to vote the WHITE universal proxy card for his five director nominees at the 2026 Annual Meeting. The presentation argues the company has contracted across revenue, earnings, and market cap since fiscal 2006 under a board that repeatedly extended Farooq Kathwari's 38-year tenure, citing over $55 million in compensation and special-dividend value to Kathwari and related entities since 2015.
