conditions, including Leggett & Platt shareholder approval at the August 20, 2026 meeting and required regulatory approvals, the filing date of the Company’s Form 10-Q as well as the
delivery of compelling strategic and financial value for customers, employees and shareholders associated with the Somnigroup Merger, and certain favorable items not expected to improve adjusted earnings in future quarters. Such statements are
expressly qualified by cautionary statements described in this provision and reflect only the beliefs, expectations, and assumptions of Leggett at the time the statement is made. Because all forward-looking statements deal with the future, they are
subject to risks, uncertainties and developments which might cause actual events or results to differ materially from those envisioned or reflected in any forward-looking statement. Moreover, we do not have, and do not undertake, any duty to update
or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement was made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Some of these risks include:

Unity Corporation, a Missouri corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Somnigroup (“Merger Sub”) and Leggett, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Somnigroup Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge
with and into Leggett (the “Somnigroup Merger”), with Leggett surviving the Somnigroup Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Somnigroup, including (i) Leggett’s shareholders inability to determine the value of
consideration to be received in a completed Somnigroup Merger because the exchange ratio is fixed and the market price of Somnigroup common stock will fluctuate; (ii) the completion of the Somnigroup Merger is subject to certain conditions that

diversion of management time from ongoing business operations and opportunities as a result of the Somnigroup Merger; (vi) failure to complete the Somnigroup Merger could negatively impact the share price and the future business and financial
results of Leggett; (vii) litigation against the Company could result in substantial costs, an injunction preventing the completion of the Somnigroup Merger and/or a judgment resulting in the payment of damages; (viii) the Company will
incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the Somnigroup Merger; and (ix) the possibility that the expected benefits of the Somnigroup Merger are not realized when expected or at all. In addition, risks include:
