Fellow shareholders,

I'm Jeff Geygan, the founder, controlling shareholder, and chairman of Global Value Investment Corporation, or GVIC. GVIC beneficially owns approximately 5.1% of the common stock outstanding of Hooker Furnishings Corp.

GVIC first invested in Hooker on February 24, 2020, at a price of $21.35 per share. Since then, Hooker's stock price has declined 53.2%, or a compound annual growth rate of -13.4% - representing a significant destruction of shareholder value. Over the same period, Hooker underperformed its peer group by a substantial margin.

Hooker's financial performance has been equally troubling, with revenue, gross profit, operating income, and operating margin all suffering serious declines.

This is not only disappointing – it's unacceptable for every shareholder.

Hooker's financial metrics tell a story of systematic mismanagement at the highest levels. We have identified numerous factors contributing to this poor performance; two areas of which we believe demand immediate shareholder attention.

Frist: operational missteps spanning nearly a decade, including misguided acquisitions, a calamitous exit from the clubs channel, a capriciously designed warehousing strategy that resulted in excessive and unnecessary charges, and finally, an ongoing ERP system implementation that is rapidly becoming a financial black hole.

Second: the composition of the board of directors and the lack of equity ownership suggests shareholders' interests are not adequately represented in the boardroom. While Chairman Beeler has been a director of the company for 32 years, he owns meager 0.53% of Hooker's common stock. Other directors have similar insignificant levels of ownership; further, open market purchases of common stock by officers and directors have been rare. This majority of this board clearly lacks the financial interest and motivation that comes from meaningful equity ownership, and the accountability that follows.

GVIC attributes blame for Hooker's financial and subsequent share price underperformance squarely on the shoulders of this board of directors, chaired by Mr. Beeler. For nearly two years, GVIC has engaged in private discussions with management and the board regarding shareholder governance rights. At each turn, we have been rebuffed – a troubling pattern that demonstrates the board's unwillingness to acknowledge its failures, reflecting an attitude of entrenchment.

GVIC intends to obtain shareholder governance rights commensurate with its equity ownership, and if necessary, will nominate candidates for election as directors in advance of the annual meeting of stockholders next year.

Today, we are delivering these comments and a supporting presentation to the company's corporate secretary, and will file the same with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an amendment to GVIC's Schedule 13D. Over the coming months, we look forward to engaging with Hooker's shareholders – the owners of the company and the sole constituency to which the company's directors owe responsibility – about affecting much-needed financial and governance changes at Hooker.

Background Global Value Investment Corporation ("GVIC") is an investment management firm that deploys patient capital to build generational wealth. The firm was founded in 2007 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a fundamental value manager with a long-term investment horizon. GVIC provides investment research and portfolio management services to individual and institutional clients, primarily registered investment advisors and broker-dealers, through separately managed accounts and private fund investments. Through our rigorous analytical process, we narrow in on a small set of high-conviction investment ideas. By focusing on a limited number of investable securities, we are able to study each in great depth. We believe this creates a distinct information advantage that results in superior performance. When we invest, we have a responsibility to our clients to hold a company's management and directors accountable for developing and executing a thoughtful strategy while prudently allocating capital. To that end, we regularly engage with management and directors to inquire about these topics, share our observations, and when needed, advocate for change. Our active engagement leverages a broad spectrum of mechanisms designed to positively impact investor outcomes.

Background GVIC first invested in Hooker Furnishings Corporation ("HOFT" or the "Company") on February 24, 2020, at an average price of $21.35 per share. Since then, GVIC has enjoyed a thoughtful and constructive ongoing dialogue with HOFT's senior management. GVIC's associates have visited the Company's headquarters in Martinsville, Virginia, and its showroom in High Point, North Carolina. We believe the combination of an attractive business model, sound fundamental financial characteristics, and an enviable position as an industry leader make HOFT an attractive long-term investment. However, public markets have not ascribed an appropriate value to the enterprise, in our opinion. We believe this is partially attributable to decisions by past and present directors and senior managers that have resulted in demonstrable value destruction. As disclosed on Schedule 13D, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2025, GVIC beneficially owns 544,179.5 shares of HOFT, representing approximately 5.08% of the common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, GVIC had realized a total annualized return of -3.16% on its investment in HOFT, and as of April 18, 2025, GVIC has realized a total annualized return of-9.25% on its investment in HOFT.

Operational Missteps Calamitous exit from clubs channel: Driven by higher freight costs, exit costs from the RTA furniture category, and significant chargebacks from the Clubs distribution channel, HMI reported a $21.3 million operating loss for the year. Higher freight costs adversely impacted gross margin by approximately 530 bps in fiscal 2022 and were the primary driver of increased product costs. Current and expected future freight costs, which will have an adverse effect on potential profit margins caused us to rethink our entry into the RTA furniture category. Consequently, HMI exited the RTA furniture category and incurred one-time order cancellation costs of $2.6 million in fiscal 2022. In addition, due to continued poor profitability and excess chargebacks of $2.9 million, HMI made the decision to exit the Clubs channel and incurred one-time order cancellation costs of $900,000.(1) Inventory write-downs: The Company recorded a $24.4 million non-cash charge related to its exit of the Accentrics Home (ACH) line of lower-priced, low-margin accent items, for the write down of ACH inventories and other excess inventories in the Home Meridian segment.(2) Source: "Hooker Furnishings Reports Sales & Earnings for 2022 Fiscal Year," published April 13, 2022. https://investors.hookerfurnishings.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hooker-furnishings-reports-sales-earnings-2022-fiscal-year Source: "Hooker Furnishings Reports Fiscal 2023 Results," published April 14, 2023. https://investors.hookerfurnishings.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hooker-furnishings-reports-fiscal-2023-results

Operational Missteps "Shoot first, aim later" warehousing strategy: "We're now positioning our working capital and resources on solid businesses like Pulaski, Samuel Lawrence, ACH and PRI with a goal to be in stock in our new 800,000-square-foot Georgia warehouse to service growing channels such as brick and mortar retailers, the interior design trade and ecommerce, while still growing our major partners," Hoff said.(1) The Company is finalizing estimates of the potential financial impacts of the Savannah warehouse exit. Currently, it expects to record net charges of between $3.0 million to $4.0 million in fiscal 2026, related to the Savannah exit.(2) Source: "Hooker Furnishings Reports Sales & Earnings for 2022 Fiscal Year," published April 13, 2022. https://investors.hookerfurnishings.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hooker-furnishings-reports-sales-earnings-2022-fiscal-year Source: "Hooker Furnishings Reports Improved Sales in Fourth Quarter, Additional Planned Cost Savings," published April 17, 2025. https://investors.hookerfurnishings.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hooker-furnishings-reports-improved-sales-fourth-quarter

Operational Missteps Spiraling ERP system costs ($16.8 million to date): We are implementing a common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system across all divisions. The ERP system went live at Sunset West in December 2022 and in the legacy Hooker divisions and for consolidated reporting in early September 2023. Due to our cost reduction initiatives, we have temporarily paused the ERP project in the Home Meridian segment beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.(1) Implementation costs of $3.0 million and interest expense of $239,000 were capitalized in fiscal 2025. Implementation costs of $5.1 million and interest expense of $273,000 were capitalized in fiscal 2024. Implementation costs of $5.4 million and interest expense of $84,000 were capitalized in fiscal 2023. Amortization expenses of $1.2 million, $410,000 and $12,000 were recorded in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.(1) Source: Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2025.

Operational Missteps Acquisition strategy lacks forethought: Over the past nine years, HOFT has spent approximately $175.9 million on four acquisitions. Yet over the same period (FQ4 2016 through FQ4 2025), trailing-twelve-month operating income has declined from $24.3 million in FQ4 2016 to -$18.2 million in FQ4 2025, suggesting the Company's acquisition strategy is misguided and strategic discipline around acquisitions is sorely lacking. The acquisition of Home Meridian International, Inc. resulted in particularly troubling future charges. Acquisition Date Acquired Company Price Paid ($mm) February 1, 2016 Home Meridian International, Inc. $106.3 September 29, 2017 Shenandoah Furniture, Inc. $41.2 January 31, 2022 Sunset HWM, LLC $26.0 FQ2 2024 BOBO Intriguing Objects $2.4

Board Composition Shareholder interests are underrepresented on the board of directors: directors collectively own a paltry 209,998 shares(1), or 1.96% of common stock outstanding – an average of 26,250 shares each, or $262,498(2). This is particularly concerning for those with long company tenures, and does not engender confidence among external shareholders. Not a single director reports meaningful equity ownership, and we fear that directors' economic interests are only casually tied to the value of their commons stock ownership in the Company. 98.04% of shareholders are inadequately represented, and GVIC firmly believes this must change.

Conclusion GVIC is a patient investor willing to engage with company management and directors to drive long-term value. However, we have determined that HOFT's corporate governance function is inadequate, as evidenced by poor strategic decision making, executional issues, and anemic share price performance. We have engaged with HOFT's management for more than five years as a supportive investor. Over that period, the Company's financial performance as been indefensible for those responsible – the board of directors. GVIC intends to obtain governance rights and work constructively with existing directors and manager to enhance strategic direction, capital discipline, and drive long-term value creation.

**Comment for Reporting Person:** Percentage calculated is based on 10,702,685 shares of Common Stock, No Par Value outstanding as of April 7, 2025, as reported in the Form 10-K for the annual period ended February 2, 2025, of Hooker Furnishings Corporation.

**Item 1. Security and Issuer**

**(a) Title of Class of Securities:**
Common Stock, No Par Value

**(b) Name of Issuer:**
Hooker Furnishings Corporation

**(c) Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:**
440 East Commonwealth Boulevard, Martinsville, VA, 24112

**Item 4. Purpose of Transaction**

The Reporting Persons purchased the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes, and such purchases have been made in the ordinary course of business of the Reporting Persons.

In pursuing such investment purposes, the Reporting Persons may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose, or otherwise deal in the Common Stock at times, and in such manner, as they deem advisable to benefit from, among other things, (1) changes in the market prices of the shares of Common Stock; (2) changes in the Issuer's operations, business strategy, or prospects; or (3) from the sale or merger of the Issuer. To evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Persons will closely monitor the Issuer's operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as other economic, securities markets, and investment considerations. Consistent with their investment research methods and evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons have in the past discussed, and may in the future discuss, such matters with the management or Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Board"), other stockholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit, and other investors. Such evaluations and discussions may materially affect, and result in, among other things, the Reporting Persons (1) modifying their ownership of the Common Stock; (2) exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; (3) proposing changes in the Issuer's operations, governance, or capitalization; or (4) pursuing one or more of the other actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

In addition to the information disclosed in this Statement, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to (1) formulate other plans and proposals; (2) take any actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; and (3) acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, in each case in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.

The Reporting Persons believe the Issuer's governance and oversight functions are inadequate and intend to seek governance rights commensurate with the Reporting Persons' ownership. There is currently no agreement, express or implied, with respect to the foregoing. The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.

At the Issuer's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, held on June 3, 2025, Mr. Jeffrey Geygan, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, delivered commentary that is attached hereto as Exhibit 3. Concurrently, the Reporting Persons delivered to the corporate secretary of the Issuer a presentation, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.
