The article focuses on the ongoing proxy battle at Ethan Allen Interiors Inc., where CEO Farooq Kathwari defends the company’s emphasis on long-term retail sales through in-person showroom and interior design services rather than prioritizing short-term digital sales. Activist investor Douglas Bergeron, founder of DGB Investments, has acquired about a 5% stake and is seeking to replace the entire board, criticizing the company’s outdated strategy and lack of digital focus despite industry trends. Ethan Allen recently reported a 5.7% decline in net sales for its fiscal year ending June 30, and its shares have fallen 19% over the past year. Kathwari, who has led the company since 1988, rejects calls for his replacement, asserting his continued capability to lead. [Extracted from the article] |
