To the Shareholders of HNI Corporation:

Due to the continuing public health impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic; a proclamation ordered by the Governor of the State of Iowa on April 30, 2021, suspending the requirement under Iowa law of corporations to hold a physical meeting of shareholders; and to support the health and well-being of our shareholders, members, and their families, the Annual Meeting of Corporation will be held in a virtual-only format. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Annual Meeting will be held virtually via the internet on Monday, May 24, 2021, at 10:30 a.m. CDT. As previously announced, the virtual meeting and live audio webcast can be accessed at www.proxydocs.com/HNI. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

As described in the previously distributed proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, all shareholders of record as of March 25, 2021, the record date, are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting.

Agenda items for the Annual Meeting will be limited to the proposals described in the Proxy Statement.

To be admitted to the Annual Meeting and vote your shares, you must register in advance and provide the Control Number as described on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy card. After completion of your registration, further instructions, including a unique link to access the Annual Meeting, will be emailed to you. Shareholders may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the Corporation’s virtual meeting website at www.proxydocs.com/HNI.
