Item 8.01. Other Events.

On April 12, 2023, Hooker Furnishings Corporation (the “Company”) determined to delay the release of its scheduled earnings press release and conference call for its 2023 fiscal year ended January 29, 2023 in order to (1) permit additional time to finalize the calculation of non-cash charges (the “charges”) related to the previously announced exit and restructuring of certain business units in its Home Meridian operating segment and (2) evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the annual period.

The charges are anticipated to be less than the approximate $34 million charge disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2023. However, the ultimate amount of the charge is subject to finalization, review and internal control procedures by the Company and the completion of its annual financial statement audit.
