Doug Bergeron Comments on Ethan Allen’s Decision to Report First Quarter Results After 2026 Annual Meeting

Activist shareholder Doug Bergeron, who with affiliates owns roughly 5.2% of Ethan Allen, criticized the company's decision to schedule its fiscal Q1 2027 earnings release for November 9, 2026 — five days after the November 4 annual meeting. Bergeron notes the company has reported Q1 results before its annual meeting for more than 20 years, including during a 2015 proxy contest, and calls the change a deliberate attempt to manipulate the information available to shareholders before they vote on directors.
