Doug Bergeron proposed Stefanie Tsen Ward as Ethan Allen's interim CEO following the 2026 annual meeting, contingent on his slate's election.
Bergeron and his affiliates and associates beneficially own approximately 5.2% of outstanding common stock; Ward is among his five director nominees.
His slate plans a 100-day strategic review and permanent CEO search, with Ward overseeing day-to-day operations.
Current CEO Farooq Kathwari would receive a non-voting chairman emeritus advisory role under Bergeron's plan, versus remaining CEO until mid-2027 under incumbents.
Bergeron said all three leading independent proxy advisory firms recommended removing Kathwari from the board, citing leadership and oversight concerns.
