Regulation FD Disclosure |
On April 17, 2019, Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (“Ethan Allen” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing plans to further improve its manufacturing and logistics operations and cost structure by commencing an optimization initiative. A copy of the communication is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and hereby incorporated by reference.
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.
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1934 Act, which represent the Company's beliefs and assumptions concerning future events based on information currently available to its management. Such forward-looking statements are identified in this release and other related discussions incorporated herein by reference by use of forward-looking words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "will", "may", "continue", "project", "target", "outlook", "forecast", "guidance", and similar expressions and the negatives of such forward-looking words. These forward-looking statements are subject to management decisions and various assumptions about future events, and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties those matters discussed in "Item 1A - Risk Factors" of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018. Given the risks and uncertainties surrounding forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on these statements. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Ethan Allen forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release. Other than as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
