7 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Executive Summary – Situation Overview Ŷ Sandell has beneficial ownership of 5 . 5 % of Ethan Allen, which makes us one of the Company’s largest shareholders Ŷ We believe that the Company’s stock price does not reflect the significant value associated with the assets that constitute Ethan Allen, not least of which is the Company’s iconic brand name Ŷ Based on the extensive research that we have conducted regarding Ethan Allen, which includes discussions with various industry experts as well as former employees, we have come to the conclusion that the many issues plaguing the Company and ultimately responsible for its poor stock price performance can be traced to one root cause : Poor corporate governance Ŷ Ethan Allen shareholders have suffered material and sustained long - term stock price underperformance versus a host of its peers as well the general market over almost every time period studied : Source : Bloomberg (as of 7 / 8 / 15 , the day prior to media reports of private equity interest . ) Home Furnishing Peers include BSET, HVT, LZB, PIR, RH, and WSM .

8 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Executive Summary – Many Troubling Issues ■ There are several issues associated with Ethan Allen that we believe can be traced to a stale and outmoded way of thinking about operations and finance Ƈ Central to Ethan Allen’s underperformance is the Company’s inability to grow revenue post the “Great Recession” of 2008 - 2009 Ɣ The Company has dramatically underperformed its peers in terms of revenue growth, losing market share to much more progressive peers such as Restoration Hardware and Williams - Sonoma (Pottery Barn) Ɣ Ethan Allen’s merchandising efforts have not been embraced by consumers, reflecting a Company whose retailing strategy has not evolved Ɣ The Company has an insignificant online presence, currently estimated at less than 5 % of its revenue Ƈ Ethan Allen has a vast portfolio of real estate assets with an estimated value of approximately $ 450 million ( 1 ) and management has refused to take any steps to unlock this trapped value Ɣ The Company’s extensive real estate portfolio throughout North America includes a well - diversified owned - store footprint as well as numerous non - retail properties such as many manufacturing facilities, an elaborate corporate HQ building, and a 200 - room hotel and conference center Ƈ The Company, in our opinion, has maintained an inefficient balance s heet for years Ɣ As of June 30 , 2015 the Company actually had negative net debt . Only after our public condemnation did the Company announce that it was seeking to raise incremental debt financing (1) Represents the midpoint valuation of all of the Company’s properties pursuant to valuation performed for Sandell by an independent commercial real estate services firm, as further described elsewhere in this presentation.

9 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Executive Summary – Poor Corporate Governance ■ We believe that the preceding issues and the abysmal stock price performance associated with these issues can be traced back to one over - arching problem : Poor corporate governance Ƈ The Company has a stale board that in our opinion has contributed to a dangerous level of complacency Ɣ The average Director tenure prior to our active engagement with the Company was 14 . 4 years and four of the seven Directors had served on the board for more than 10 years each, with three of the four serving for more than 20 years Ƈ Ethan Allen has an entrenched board enabled by a truly outrageous “dead - hand” provision that has been in existence for 22 years Ɣ The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation contains what we believe is an archaic and indefensible governance policy that has allowed Farooq Kathwari and certain other Directors to entrench themselves and serves to undermine the most basic right of shareholders, namely the right to be represented by directors that are empowered by and accountable to the shareholders . Only due to our efforts is the Company taking steps to address this issue Ɣ The Company also had a “dead hand” provision in their credit agreement, and Mr . Kathwari did not know the difference between it and the one in the Certificate of Incorporation even after we raised the issue Ƈ The Company is led by an “Imperial CEO” who at 71 years of age has run the Company for 27 years with no defined succession plans Ɣ Farooq Kathwari, who is 71 years old, has run the Company for the last 27 years with an apparent vise - like grip on the executive suite, serving as Chairman, CEO and President of the Company, and the Board has not made known any succession plans for Mr . Kathwari indicating a major failure in its governance responsibilities to ensure management continuity Ɣ In an incomprehensible act, apparently rather than developing succession plans, the Board very recently saw fit to grant Mr . Kathwari a new employment agreement with a lengthy five - year term, extendible to seven years

10 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ In our opinion, Ethan Allen desperately needs a new and improved Board of Directors that can bring fresh perspective and new ideas to the Company Ŷ The following Director candidates together possess very relevant skills in many key functional areas, who we believe will be able to implement significant, value - creating change consistent with their fiduciary duties Executive Summary – Candidates for Change Edward Glickman – Former President of Penn REIT Kathy Herbert – Former EVP of Human Resources at Albertson’s Richard Mansouri – Managing Director at Sandell Asset Management Annelise Osborne – SVP at Moody’s Investor Service Ken Pilot – Former President of ABC Carpet & Home Alex Wolf – Former Managing Director at Cerberus Capital Management

11 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute.

While the majority of retail sales still occur at the physical store, online transactions are escalating, with purchases made via mobile, tablets, desktops and other connected devices projected to increase by 60 % to $ 125 billion annually by 2018 , according to a recent report by Juniper Research 1 . At this rate, the retail industry soon will be a world of 50 : 50 . Fifty percent of retail sales taking place online, while the other half − a very significant reduction − will derive from brick - and - mortar . Sound implausible? While many take solace in reports which show on - line commerce under 10 % of revenues, these reports include behemoth Wal - Mart, and may be presenting a misrepresentation of the reality of the escalation - particularly for specialty stores, brands and chain stores . 50 : 50 will happen . And retail CEO’s and their Boards must take note and actions on the dynamic shift, as this mix of revenue, changes the entire economic model of retail permanently .

The following article from September of 2010, entitled “Restoration Hardware reinvents Itself” discusses the path that Restoration Hardware embarked upon: Niche retailer Restoration Hardware is launching a fall collection at its redesigned "gallery" stores. "We've destroyed the previous iteration of ourselves, clearing the way to express our brand in a never - before - seen fashion," say s Gary Friedman, chairman and co - chief executive officer. A statement about the relaunch is in a 56 - page direct mail piece that we nt out in late August and is also on the company's redesigned Web site, which proclaims the retailer to be "reinvented, remodele d, reborn." Friedman calls the gallery stores "a complete re - conceptualization of the shopping experience and an artful expression of home furnishings in a gallery setting" for "an entirely new" Restoration Hardware. “Restoration Hardware Reinvents Itself” by Tanya Irwin in MediaPostNews, 9/10/10

25 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. 2015 Commentary ■ Note the following 2015 commentary regarding Restoration Hardware, which provides context for the dramatic revenue growth enjoyed by the company following its 2010 reinvention discussed on the previous page “It’s hard to believe that Restoration Hardware once was a typical mall retailer with nearly 100 stores . After exiting most of its ordinary chain store formats and totally “white boarding” a re - entry strategy, the rebranded RH reintroduced itself in 2012 as a luxury home furnishings company . Today the high - end retailer and “disruptive brand” showcases its upscale, curated selections in revolutionary stand - alone galleries, including a former Museum of Natural History, Historic Post Office and other artistic venues … RH’s intriguing Source Books, which replaced its monthly catalogs, and the brand’s website serve as virtual extensions and compelling circular tours of RH lifestyle interiors . The strategy proved successful : From an uncertain future in 2008 , RH net revenues in 1 Q 2015 alone experienced double - digit growth to $ 422 . 4 million . These results “exceeded our outlook and increased 15 % on top of a 22 % increase last year,” said Gary Friedman, RH Chairman and CEO, in a recent financial statement . [ 1 ] Overall results further demonstrated “the disruptive nature of the RH brand and the power of our multi - channel business model . ” RH’s seamless integration of stores, digital and Source Books creates a totally unique business model − one almost equally divided between the three . The stores both inspire and astonish . Customers are encouraged to “showroom,” take photos of inspirations and test the seating on a down - filled sofa . Highly - trained staff decorators and designers nimbly deploy touch screen tablets to aid purchase decisions, illustrate room layouts and check inventory in the distribution center and timing of special orders from suppliers . The entire supply chain and the stores are interconnected .

Ŷ The conclusion amongst the analytical community supports our belief that the Company’s stale and complacent approach to merchandising is responsible for Ethan Allen’s poor sales performance (emphasis added in the following commentary) “ Ethan Allen has been slow to change , in our view. The home furnishings industry is very competitive and many of Ethan Allen’s peers have improved their product assortment and have significantly reduced delivery times by carrying in - stock product” – Barrington Research, June 2, 2014 “The company really hasn’t participated in holiday gift giving purchases given its merchandise mix. In the past, it has missed sales opportunities due to lack of gift type merchandise, allowing competitors like Pottery Barn ( WSM ; MO Rate) and Crate and Barrel to take share” – Barrington Research, June 2, 2014 “ Ethan Allen has arguably been caught flat - footed versus changing consumer purchasing tendencies” - Gabelli & Company, June 9, 2014 “ The higher end consumer is doing relatively well yet Ethan Allen has grown its revenues only 2% in total over the last two years and most of that increase is simply due to owning more retail distribution versus real growth” – Stifel, July 24, 2014 “ Restoration Hardware (RH) and Williams Sonoma (WSM) are responsible for all the growth in the mid - high end furniture/accessory category” – Gabelli & Company, March 25, 2015 “We are less certain whether [Ethan Allen’s] store locations, image/brand, and marketing can attract a sufficient number of new customers , particularly the millennials” – Stifel, September 16, 2015 “ETH is in a difficult competitive environment, with Restoration Hardware and Williams - Sonoma driving all the growth in the mid - high price segment” – Gabelli & Company, September 17, 2015 Analyst Commentary

This company has captured the high end consumer’s attention with its distinct style, its grandiose stores, and its omni - channel prowess” – Stifel , October 28, 2015 “A primary reason for the company’s lagging growth is the relatively low level of e - commerce penetration , estimated to be just 2% to 5% of sales…We view this as the largest opportunity for the company LT but note that the company still does not have a senior executive dedicated to running the platform ” – Dougherty & Company, October 28, 2015 Analyst Commentary (cont’d)

Diversion of Focus ■ Ethan Allen manufactures 70 % of the furniture it sells in its wholly - owned North American manufacturing plants ■ Ethan Allen estimates that its manufacturing plants are currently operating at only 71 % capacity Ŷ Restoration Hardware, and to a very large degree, Williams - Sonoma, rely on third - party contract manufacturing, allowing them to focus their efforts on generating revenue “During fiscal 2014 we did not own or operate any manufacturing facilities; instead we contracted with third - party vendors for the manufacture of our merchandise.” Restoration Hardware 10 - K for the fiscal year ended 1/31/15 “We basically contract manufacture the vast amount of what we sell.” Telephonic conversation with Investor Relations at Williams - Sonoma, 10/12/15 ■ We believe the approach that Ethan Allen is taking runs counter to the prevailing retailing trends that stress the need to simplify and focus one’s talent, resources, and capital on providing a customer - centric retailing experience

There is an active market of real estate financing sources willing to ascribe value to operational industrial assets Ŷ On September 29 , 2015 , the Company announced that it is spending $ 15 million to expand its manufacturing operations in Mexico by building a 300 , 000 square foot facility adjacent to its existing 260 , 000 square foot facility and has invested another $ 5 million on improvements to its North Carolina manufacturing facilities . This is clear evidence of the Company’s intent to continue operating its manufacturing facilities .

36 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ Farooq Kathwari’s uses the same specious argument for refusing to monetize the Company’s vast real estate assets that we have heard CEOs seek refuge in before, namely his belief that the Company’s pursuit of a sale - leaseback or other form of real estate monetization would “limit its flexibility” Ŷ We believe his claimed concern regarding “flexibility” is misplaced, as he has stated that he will borrow through the incurrence of debt using real estate as collateral, which would subject Ethan Allen to many restrictions that are standard in any debt agreement . We are particularly concerned by the Company’s intent to use proceeds from the incurrence of this debt for the payment of a special dividend Ŷ The Company also has the ability to pursue the monetization of select retail properties without concerns regarding “flexibili t y,” as a comprehensive analysis of all retail stores could be made to determine the best stores for sale - leaseback versus those better suited for outright disposition and relocation Ŷ Another seeming excuse Mr . Kathwari makes when refusing to explore creative methods of unlocking value from the Company’s real estate is his belief that such methods would “restrict its continuing strategic repositioning of its retail footprint” without apparent consideration for other properties . As mentioned above, and as is clear from the valuation analysis on the previous page, there is significant value associated with the Company’s non - retail assets that we do not believe is being reflected in the stock price Ŷ What strategic value is associated with owning and operating a 200 - room hotel?

(We are in fact troubled that the Company’s planned usage of the proceeds derived from such financing may include the payment of a special dividend) Ŷ We note that the Company’s actions took place only after the public release of our August 14 letter to Farooq Kathwari, where we stated : “Along with the trapped capital associated with the Company’s extensive real estate holdings is the Company’s highly - inefficient balance sheet … That the Company continues to operate with net leverage below zero while Ethan Allen’s stock trades at a price below where it was 10 years ago reflects an astonishingly unsophisticated fiscal policy that we believe is at odds with the fundamental precepts of modern corporate finance, a policy which is even more troubling when one considers that prevailing interest rates remain close to historical lows . ” FY2011 FY2012 FY2013 FY2014 FY2015 Total Debt $165.0 $154.5 $131.3 $130.9 $77.6 Less: Cash and Equivalents (91.4) (88.7) (88.1) (127.3) (78.4) Net Debt $73.6 $65.8 $43.2 $3.6 ($0.8) EBITDA $53.9 $70.4 $86.8 $92.2 $89.6 Net Debt/EBITDA 1.4 0.9 0.5 0.0 (0.0) Source: Bloomberg By trying to issue debt now, after several years of balance sheet inefficiency, and only after our public commentary, the Board is being reactive NOT proactive

A Stale Board – Before our Active Engagement Ŷ The Ethan Allen Board of Directors (the “Board”) consisted of many long - tenured Directors before our active engagement with the Company, with four Directors serving for over 10 years, and three of these four Directors serving for over 20 years Ŷ So many long - tenured Directors can lead to a dangerous level of complacency . Indeed, the Board at Ethan Allen had various options completely within its control to materially enhance shareholder value and yet while the Company’s share price has languished for years, the Board has failed to pursue these options Source: SEC filings; article from Danbury News - Times (a) James B Carlson has been a partner of the law firm Mayer Brown, LLP since 1998.

As an example we cite the very recent five year (extendible to seven years) employment agreement granted to 71 - year old CEO Mr .

41 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation has contained for 22 years a truly outrageous entrenchment device, known as a “dead hand” provision . This provision, which is “Article Fifth” in the Certificate of Incorporation, can strip the rights of shareholder - elected Directors to approve business transactions if such Directors were elected following a shareholder owning more than 5 % of the Company’s stock Ŷ Excerpts of this provision, which to our mind is an archaic and truly indefensible governance policy, are included below (emphasis added) : In addition to any approval of the Board of Directors or stockholders, and satisfaction of any other conditions, required by the la ws of the State of Delaware or any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation in effect at the time of the adoption or authorization of a Business Com bin ation, it shall be required for the adoption or authorization of a Business Combination with an Interested Person that the conditions set forth in each of the following paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 be fulfilled : 1 . Disinterested Directors . The Business Combination shall have been approved by a majority of directors who are Continuing Directors and are, with respect to such Interested Person, Disinterested Directors; and 2 . Proxy Statement . A proxy statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended shall be mailed to th e stockholders of the Corporation for the purpose of soliciting stockholder approval of the Business Combination; and 3 . Stockholder Vote . The Business Combination shall be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3 percent of those of th e o utstanding shares of stock generally entitled to vote which are not beneficially owned by such Interested Person . A " Continuing Director " means any member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, while such person is a member of the Board of Directors, who wa s (a) a member of (or nominated to be a member of) the Board of Directors on April 1, 1993 or (b) was a member of the Board of Directors prior to the time that the Interested Person became an Interested Person, and any successor of a Continuing Director while such successor is a member of th e Board of Directors, who is recommended or elected to succeed the Continuing Director by a majority of Continuing Directors . An " Interested Person " is any person who, as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of a proposed Business Combination and to vote thereon or consent thereto, or as of the date of any such vote or consent, or immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 5 percent or more of the outstanding shares of stock generally entitled to vote . A Business Combination shall be deemed to be a " Business Combination with an Interested Person " if, in the case of a Business Combination described in clause (i) or (ii) of this subparagraph, it is a transaction with an Interested Person or any of its affiliates or associates or a transaction with another person which is caused by an Interested Person or any of its affiliates or associates or if it is a transaction described in clause (iii) or (iv) of this subparagraph . “Dead Hand” Entrenchment Provision

42 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ The Company’s “dead hand” provision allows Farooq Kathwari and the current Directors who were present on April 1 , 1993 , and only subsequent Directors that they themselves approved, to entrench themselves in a manner that gives them effective control over many types of business transactions, including a sale of the Company Ŷ Taken to its logical extreme, even if every single shareholder wanted the Company to engage in any number of business transactions, only Farooq Kathwari, along with certain long - standing Board members and their chosen colleagues, would have the authority to approve any transaction resulting from actions taken or “caused” by a shareholder owning more than 5 % of the Company Ŷ This provision serves to undermine the most basic right of shareholders, namely the right to be represented by directors that are empowered by and accountable to the shareholders . Only due to our efforts is the Company taking steps to address this issue, 22 years after the fact Ŷ The Wall Street Journal fairly characterizes Ethan Allen’s dead hand provision as “archaic” in its article entitled “When Archaic Takeover Defenses Get in the Way” “Dead Hand” Entrenchment Provision (cont’d) “…Dead hand provisions were common in poison pills through most of the 1990s. Poison pills effectively prevent a hostile take ove r or the accumulation of a large block of stock. The dead hand provision prevented the pills from being eliminated by directors electe d i n a proxy fight. They went out of fashion in 1998 after the Delaware Supreme Court ruled that they were illegal in poison pills. But there is som e language in the decision that might give hope to the validity of dead hands, like Ethan Allen’s, that are in a company’s charter. Pois on pills are contracts and lower on the corporate hierarchy of importance than charters. But even if there could be a technical legal argu men t of validity, dead hands feel dated and not particularly helpful. Now Ethan Allen is faced with either defending this 20 - year - old provision, which probably won’t do it any good in a proxy fight and could lose it votes, or asking shareholders to vote to remove it. It already removed a dead hand provision from a credit agreement after Sandell surfaced . Even if management supports the removal of the dead hand clause from the charter at the meeting at which Sandell is trying to replace a majority of the board, it will probably have the effect of emphasizing the issue to shareholders. Shareholders could fairly ask why the company got around to corporate housekeeping only after Sandell appeared …” (emphasis added) Dealpolitik: “When Archaic Takeover Defenses Get in the Way” by Ronald Barusch , The Wall Street Journal, 10/1/15

43 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ The Company’s credit agreement had another “dead hand” provision which was removed only after our public outcry Ŷ Farooq Kathwari’s stated commentary illustrates how even he, the Chairman of the Company (and CEO and President), and presumably the rest of the Board, did not know the difference between what was in the credit agreement and what was in the Certificate of Incorporation, even after we raised the issue Oblivious to a Stunning Degree “Kathwari said Wednesday he had been unaware of the clause until Sandell came out against it” The Danbury News - Times, 9/16/15 “Also , we were able to have our credit facility lenders modify a previous customary stipulation that with a change of control the lenders could potentially ask for payments for any outstanding loans under the facility, the so called "dead hand” provision. I wasn’t aware of all of these things , but I called the bank; I said, "change it," and they made the amendment the same day.” (emphasis added) Farooq Kathwari – Transcript from Investor Conference, 9/16/15 Ŷ The Delaware Chancery Court, in ruling on proxy puts, a very close analog to a “dead hand” provision, imparts authoritative wisdom that all Boards of Directors should heed " Kallick, for his part, stresses that Jordan could not recall any discussion about whether to include the Proxy Put in the company’s notes and admitted that the company derives no benefit from them . This testimony implies that the board gave little or no consideration to the adoption of the Proxy Put . But, boards have a duty to their stockholders to pay very close attention to provisions that affect the stockholder franchise , such as Proxy Puts . This court made this duty explicit in Amylin . “ (emphasis added) ( Kallick v. SandRidge Energy, Inc ., 68 A.3d 242, 257 (Del. Ch. 2013))

44 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ We believe Farooq Kathwari is the prototypical Imperial CEO, as he serves not only as CEO, but also as Chairman and President Ŷ This type of arrangement creates an inherent conflict of interest, leads to a reduction in management accountability, and lessens the independence and objectivity of the entire Board Ŷ Possibly more troubling is the fact that Kr . Kathwari, who at 71 years of age has run the Company for 27 years, has not made known any succession plans . We believe that Farooq Kathwari’s vise - like grip on all aspects of the executive suite poses a risk that the Board of Directors has seemingly failed to address . Furthermore, it is incomprehensible that the Board recently granted him a new employment agreement with a five - year term, extendible to seven years Ŷ Both the SEC as well as some of the leading governance authorities have stressed CEO succession planning as possibly the most important responsibility of a company’s board of directors An “Imperial” CEO with No Known Plans for Succession We believe the Board has failed in perhaps its most critical role of ensuring management continuity “ One of the board’s key functions is to provide for succession planning so that the company is not adversely affected due to a vacancy in leadership . Recent events have underscored the importance of this board function to the governance of the corporation . We now recognize that CEO succession planning raises a significant policy issue regarding the governance of the corporation that transcends the day - to - day business matter of managing the workforce . ” (emphasis added) -- Division of Corporation Finance, Securities and Exchange Commission, Staff Legal Bulletin No . 14 E, October 27 , 2009 “CEO Succession Planning : The board should approve and maintain a detailed CEO succession plan and publicly disclose the essential features in the proxy statement . An integral facet of management succession planning involves collaboration between the board and the current chief executive to develop the next generation of leaders from within the company’s ranks . Boards therefore should : ( 1 ) make sure that board leadership development programs are in place generally ; and ( 2 ) carefully identify multiple candidates for the CEO role specifically, well before the position needs to be filled . ” (emphasis added) -- Council of Institutional Investors, Policies on Corporate Governance, Updated April 1, 2015

53 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ Ethan Allen has employed a different real estate strategy than its peers with respect to their retail operations, as the Company owns significantly more retail stores than any of its peers . This strategy has not proven successful in terms of driving sales or increasing shareholder value Finance: Assessment of Real Estate (Retail Assets) Source: SEC filings; Revenue CAGR is from FY2010/FY2011 to FY2014/2015 » In our view, there is questionable strategic benefit to owning an extensive retail store base . Indeed, prevailing trends in furniture retailing suggest that leasing real estate may allow for better strategic positioning » We believe that Ethan Allen must perform a comprehensive assessment on a store - by - store basis in order to divide its retail properties into those best - suited for sale and relocation versus those better suited for sale - leaseback, which has the potential to unlock significant trapped capital » The Company should consider many factors including its planned on - line efforts and how they may be enhanced by an alteration of its retail footprint as well as whether certain stores would generate more value if redeveloped for alternative uses “As a real estate finance professional with many years of experience specifically involving retail properties, I believe my background would prove valuable in helping the Board of Ethan Allen diligently analyze the various alternatives available to extract value from the Company’s real estate . In particular, I believe that Ethan Allen needs to consider the strategic as well as financial implications of owning such an extensive retail footprint as well as consider whether there are better uses for the capital embedded in its real estate, which may include enhancing the brand as well as returning capital to shareholders . ” - Edward Glickman, Director Nominee Total Owned % Revenue Stores Stores Owned CAGR Ethan Allen (company-operated) 144 70 48.6% 2.7% Restoration Hardware 85 1 1.2% 24.7% Bassett Furniture 60 11 18.3% 9.7% Williams-Sonoma 601 0 0.0% 7.6% Pier 1 Imports 1,072 0 0.0% 7.5% Haverty Furniture 119 44 37.0% 5.5% La-Z-Boy 110 N/A N/A 4.7% Average 11.3% 9.9%

54 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ The Company owns its corporate headquarters, which consists of a 144 , 000 square feet office building that sits on 18 . 0 acres of land . Adjacent to its headquarters is the wholly - owned Ethan Allen Hotel and Conference Center, which has 200 rooms on a 5 . 4 - acre parcel of land » We would recommend that the Company take steps to sell its hotel and re - invest this currently trapped capital in the Company . There is no operating efficiency associated with a furniture retailer owning a hotel and conference center ; a hotel is a business that should be owned and run by a hotel operator » We believe Ethan Allen should pursue a sale - leaseback of its corporate headquarters, which would allow the Company to allocate capital to initiatives that generate higher returns for shareholders . Leasing an office property is often a much more efficient use of capital » As indicated previously, the value of the Company’s headquarters is estimated at close to $ 33 million and the value of the hotel assets is estimated at over $ 16 million . Together, these properties may be worth close to $ 50 million ; this has an equity cost of capital associated with it and this capital could be better invested in the Company or returned to shareholders Finance: Assessment of Real Estate (Headquarters, Hotel and Industrial Assets) Ŷ We believe there is significant value associated with the Company industrial assets, which consist of numerous owned manufacturing and distribution facilities totaling over 3.8 million square feet in the United States, Honduras, and Mexico » We would recommend working in concert with the entire Board of Directors to perform an assessment of capacity utilization on a plant - by - plant basis » Ethan Allen should divide industrial facilities into those best - suited for continued operation and those targeted for closing » We believe Ethan - Allen should seek sale - leaseback options for those industrial assets best - suited for continued operation

55 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ We do not believe that Ethan Allen has optimized its balance sheet/capital structure for many years Finance: Balance Sheet Optimization » It is our view that Ethan Allen must continually assess its capital structure to maintain an appropriate balance between debt and equity » While we believe a prudent increase in leverage can result in a more efficient balance sheet, the Company’s recent announcement that it was seeking to raise incremental debt financing collateralized by its real estate is highly inflexible for retailing » We would not advocate paying any special dividends with proceeds raised through the issuance of debt collateralized by real estate . We believe there are other avenues to invest such proceeds that could yield a higher return for shareholders » In particular, we question the Company’s intention to pay a special dividend when its shares are trading at what we believe is a discount to intrinsic value . In terms of returning capital to shareholders, we would advocate for a share repurchase, as it is a mathematical tautology that every share repurchased at a discount to intrinsic value increases the per share intrinsic value of the remaining shares “As a credit analyst with particular expertise in real estate, I am convinced that Ethan Allen can unlock substantial value for its shareholders . Ethan Allen has many appealing attributes, not least of which is the Company’s iconic brand name, and I believe that its shareholders may be better served through the maintenance of an efficient balance sheet . Furthermore, I believe that any allocation of capital derived from the Company’s real estate must be carefully assessed to ensure the highest return for shareholders . I have extensive experience analyzing the important credit attributes associated with fiscally strong companies and should I be elected as a Director, I believe that my background will be of great utility in helping the entire Board maintain a sound and efficient capital structure . ” - Annelise Osborne, Director Nominee

56 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ We believe that Ethan Allen must take steps to materially enhance and modernize its governance policies to allow for greater accountability to shareholders Ŷ The following are but a few of the governance enhancements that we believe the Company should make » Separate the roles of Chairman and CEO » Reduce threshold for shareholders to call special meetings from 20% to 10% » Reduce threshold to amend Articles of Incorporation from 66.7% to simple majority » Establish term limits for Directors » Continue seeking to remove “dead hand” provision in Articles of Incorporation if unsuccessful at 2015 Annual Meeting Governance: Modernize Policies “As an investor in publicly - traded companies for over 20 years, I am very well aware of the correlation that exists between corporate governance and shareholder returns . Having championed the rights of shareholders in many situations over the years, I have been involved in several campaigns to improve the governance policies at various companies, which have lead to greater accountability to shareholders . If elected, I would bring that mindset to the Board of Ethan Allen and work constructively with the other Directors to help ensure greater shareholder accountability . In a broader sense, I think more publicly - traded corporations should include people with actual public investing experience on their boards of directors . “ - Richard Mansouri, Director Nominee

57 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ A key role of the Board of Directors is to ensure that there is a robust plan in place to ensure an orderly management succes s ion process. We believe the following should be part of a proper process to develop and implement succession plans: » Establish Board “Ownership” and Oversight – It is imperative that a well - defined succession process is an agenda item at every B oard meeting » Set Succession Time Frames – Once established, a review of internal readiness and external search involvement can be discussed a nd action plans can be instituted » Prepare for the Unexpected – It is important to establish and maintain a plan that has contingencies for situations that may inv olve unexpected changes to leadership; consideration must also be given to the communication strategy in such situations » Align on Strategy and Profile – The Board must align around what characteristics the next “right” leader should possess; once th e criteria are established, the process becomes more systematic and manageable » Build and Maintain Executive “Pipeline” – The Board has to have transparency into the CEO’s leadership team as well as the high potential talent in the organization; it is important that robust identification and cultivation processes are in place » Source External Talent – A robust plan should include help from search experts to validate internal candidates against best - in - c lass external candidates; the Board must manage any search consultant retained and maintain control of the process » Maintain Transparency – While there may be a specific committee assigned to this task, it is crucial that the entire Board is ke pt apprised of the process Governance: Develop Succession Plans “As a former EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer of a Fortune 50 retailer, I have led complete business transformations through effective talent strategy, a background that can be put to great use at Ethan Allen . I believe one of the most important responsibilities of a board member is to ensure that an actionable CEO succession strategy is in place and I’ve led or advised on critical top executive talent decisions in a variety of environments . Having also worked in various merchandising , buying, marketing and operational roles during my career, I believe my insight is informed by a solid understanding of the retail industry . If elected, I would bring this experience and ability to the Board for the benefit of all shareholders, as I can think of few things more important to protecting shareholder value . ” - Kathy Herbert, Director Nominee

58 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Governance: Continuity and Transition Planning Ŷ Should management be unwilling or unable to work constructively with the highly - qualified nominees that we hope to have elected to the Board, we have contingency plans in place to ensure an orderly transition » Ken Pilot, one of our Director nominees, has an outstanding background in retailing spanning over 30 years in the industry and if needed would be willing to offer his services to Ethan Allen on an interim basis . In addition to serving as President of Gap Global, Mr . Pilot has highly - relevant experience in home furnishing retail, having served as the President of ABC Carpet & Home from 2010 until May of 2015 , during which time comp store sales increased to over + 20 % from a previous level of - 7 % » Any decision to retain Mr . Pilot or any other executive on an interim basis would be made by the Board of Directors based on their independent judgment and consistent with their fiduciary duties . Furthermore, if needed, any newly - constituted B oard would run a comprehensive CEO search process to ultimately supersede any interim management

59 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Ŷ While we believe that Ethan Allen with a reconstituted Board has the ability to create significant value for shareholders on i ts own while maintaining its publicly - traded status , we cannot ignore Farooq Kathwari’s history with the Company, as he led a consortium that took Ethan Allen private in an LBO in 1989 Ŷ Mr. Kathwari’s recent public comments do not rule out the prospect of another attempt to take Ethan Allen private Governance: “Public” versus “Private” < Q – Justin Bergner> : Thank you . With respect to the activist involved in your stock, I mean, how do you think about being a public company versus being a private company and you know within the context of being a private company, sort of an LBO model versus being part of a large conglomerate like, a Berkshire if that was possibility, obviously you have been through the LBO phase before, just maybe some thoughts on the pros and cons? <A – Farooq Kathwari> : Look here, we are open to suggestions . I’ve already done all of those . Ŷ For the following litany of reasons, we believe that Ethan Allen may be of great interest to a number of private equity sponsors : Ɣ Un - paralleled brand name recognition Ɣ Complementary to certain other private equity - owned companies Ɣ Robust free cash flow from operations Ɣ Minimal core capital spending requirements Ɣ “ Clean” balance sheet Ɣ Significant “hidden” value associated with real estate providing further financing ability Ɣ Dual - role of 71 - year old Chairman and CEO with no delineated management succession plans Transcript from Investor Conference, 9/16/15

60 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Governance: “Public” versus “Private” (Cont’d) Ŷ Given the very real possibility of a take - private transaction involving Ethan Allen, we believe it is imperative that the Boar d has independent (read non - management) Directors with actual experience in negotiating and executing transactions with private equity sponsors. For the following reasons, we believe Alex Wolf would provide significant value in this capacity » As a private equity investor since 1997 , Alex Wolf has focused on identifying businesses underperforming their true potential at Ares Management and then as a Partner at Cerberus Capital Management, where he worked on transactions involving the deployment of $ 3 billion of capital » Mr . Wolf has performed detailed due diligence and evaluated dozens of retail businesses, including many take - private opportunities in the retail space, and has successfully led or co - led many strategic overhauls and operational turnarounds » The $ 17 billion take - private of Albertson’s Inc . in 2006 was just one of a number of retail investments that Alex Wolf has led or co - led in his career . Albertson’s was a complex public - to - private transaction involving an underperforming retailer with significant untapped real estate holdings and a history of negative sales trends “I am truly excited by the multiple avenues to create value at Ethan Allen . In my opinion, Ethan Allen offers the unique combination of a retailer with a strong brand and rich history in its niche, along with tremendous inefficiencies in its sales, marketing, operations and real estate portfolio . “I have been a private equity investor for over 18 years and have been involved in all aspects of the acquisition process of numerous public companies from a “buy side” perspective . I believe this background would be of great value should the Company eventually decide to pursue a take - private transaction, as I can provide tremendous insight to the Board that may help in any negotiations with private equity sponsors . ” - Alex Wolf, Director Nominee
