Item 5.07         Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
 
On November 4, 2026, Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (“Ethan Allen” or the “Company”) held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Of the 25,204,416 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value, eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting, 21,110,784 shares were present in person or represented by proxy. Set forth below are the final voting results for the proposals voted on at the Annual Meeting.
 
Proposal 1: Election of Directors. The election of directors at the Annual Meeting was contested. Stockholders were asked to elect five directors from among the five nominees recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the five nominees proposed by DGB Investment, Inc. and its affiliates. In accordance with the Company’s bylaws, because the number of nominees exceeded the number of directors to be elected, directors were elected by a plurality of the votes cast, meaning that the five nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes were elected. Based on the final voting results certified by the independent inspector of election, Maria Eugenia Casar, Tara I. Stacom, Douglas G. Bergeron, Kristine E. Miller, and Stephen Oblak were elected to serve a one-year term until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each director will hold office until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified or until the director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal. The voting results were as follows:
