Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure

On April 24, 2018, Ethan Allen Interiors, Inc. (“Ethan Allen” or the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share of common stock and increased the current share repurchase authorization. A copy of the communication is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and hereby incorporated by reference.

On April 24, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an increase in the amount available for share repurchases under the Company’s existing share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) by approximately 2,000,000 shares. After giving effect to the increase in the authorized repurchase amount, as of April 24, 2018, approximately 3,000,000 shares may yet be purchased by the Company under the Share Repurchase Program. The timing, number and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company’s officers at their discretion, and as permitted by securities laws, covenants under existing bank agreements and other legal requirements, and will be based on a number of factors, including an evaluation of general market and economic conditions and the trading price of the common stock. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice

The information in this form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), nor shall it be deemed “incorporated by reference” into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the 1934 Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
