Casar Perez Maria Eugenia reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

Ethan Allen Interiors director Maria Eugenia Casar Perez reported an equity compensation award of 1306 restricted stock units under the Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. These units vest ratably over three years, with one-third vesting each year on the anniversary of the August 5, 2026 grant date, starting August 5, 2027. Following this award, her reported direct holding is 1306 shares.

DGB Investment, led by Doug Bergeron, has launched a proxy campaign targeting Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. ahead of the 2026 annual meeting. Bergeron, who states he beneficially owns 5.0% of Ethan Allen through affiliated entities and trusts, plans to solicit votes via a WHITE universal proxy card to elect an alternative slate of six directors to the current six-seat Board.

DGB’s materials argue that under long‑tenured Chairman and CEO Farooq Kathwari, Ethan Allen’s revenue has declined from $1,066 million in 2006 to $579 million in 2026, with enterprise value falling from $1,237 million to $377 million. They highlight 2026 results with lower sales, weaker written orders, compressed adjusted operating margins and lower earnings per share, while noting the company has $187.5 million in total cash and investments and no debt. Bergeron criticizes Ethan Allen’s digital and omnichannel strategy, compares its growth unfavorably to peers, and calls the company a “melting ice cube.”

DGB proposes a new Board composed of executives with backgrounds in modern retail, e‑commerce, luxury brands, finance and transformation, and signals it would pursue a CEO search and a strategic reset focused on profitable growth, digital investment and potential divestiture of non‑core assets such as a hotel. As of the communication date, Bergeron’s group reports beneficial ownership of 1,275,000 Ethan Allen shares across DGB Investment and two Bergeron family trusts, while the director nominees other than Bergeron report no share ownership.

DGB Investment, Inc., affiliated trusts and Douglas G. Bergeron report beneficial ownership of 1,275,000 shares of Ethan Allen Interiors common stock, representing 5.0% of the 25,446,339 shares outstanding as of April 22, 2026. The stake is held through DGB Investment (1,050,000 shares, including option exposure), a qualified personal residence trust (90,000 shares) and a nieces and nephews trust (135,000 shares).

DGB Investment’s position includes over-the-counter American-style call options on 275,000 shares, with strike prices of $20.7561 on 150,000 shares and $20.1526 on 125,000 shares, expiring November 20, 2026; the filing states it has no voting or dispositive power over these underlying shares until exercise. Purchases were funded from working capital, which may include margin loans.

The reporting group says it invested because it viewed the shares as undervalued. On August 5, 2026, it nominated six directors, including Bergeron, for election at Ethan Allen’s 2026 annual meeting and plans to solicit proxies. The group criticizes the company’s recent performance and strategy and signals it may pursue a range of governance, capital allocation and strategic proposals, potentially including sale discussions.

Ethan Allen Interiors reported softer results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Net sales were $135.8 million, down 4.8% from a year earlier, as weaker U.S. government contract business, lower international sales and weather-related disruptions reduced volume despite a higher average ticket and more designer floor-sample sales.

Gross margin remained high at 59.4%, but operating margin fell to 4.8% from 7.7% as lower contract sales, higher tariffs, more promotions and increased occupancy costs outweighed savings from lower freight and headcount. Quarterly net income declined to $5.9 million and diluted EPS to $0.23, versus $9.6 million and $0.37 a year ago.
