How to Vote FOR Sun Capital's Nominees

How to Vote


YOUR VOTE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NO MATTER HOW FEW SHARES YOU OWN. WE URGE YOU TO MARK, SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE GOLD PROXY CARD TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE SUN CAPITAL NOMINEES.

If elected, consistent with their fiduciary duty, the Sun Capital nominees are committed to acting in the best interest of all Furniture Brands shareholders. We urge you to sign, date and return the GOLD proxy card for the election of Alan Schwartz, Ira Kaplan and T. Scott King.

We urge you not to sign any proxy card sent to you by Furniture Brands. If you have already done so, you may revoke your proxy by delivering a later-dated GOLD proxy card in Sun Capital’s proxy materials, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

There are two ways you may vote. You may:

  1. Sign, date and return the GOLD proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. We recommend that you vote on the GOLD proxy card even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting; or
  2. Vote in person by attending the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other custodian, you must obtain a legal proxy from such custodian in order to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
