&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">La-Z-Boy named Otis Sawyer,
currently Senior Vice President Corporate Operations, as England&acute;s successor.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">An industry veteran, England has
had a career spanning 43 years, beginning as a teenager working the delivery
dock of his grandfather&acute;s store.&nbsp; In 1987, he was named President of England
and, in 1995, the company was acquired by La-Z-Boy Incorporated.&nbsp; England
Furniture is best known in the industry for pioneering quick delivery of custom
furniture through its proprietary transportation system.&nbsp; England was named
Senior Vice President of La-Z-Boy in 2003.&nbsp; </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">England serves on the Board of
Directors of the American Home Furnishings Alliance and the American Furniture

Claiborne County&acute;s Commissioner and Budget Chairman.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Kurt Darrow, President and Chief
Executive Officer of La-Z-Boy Incorporated, said, &#147;It is with mixed emotion that
we announce Rodney&acute;s retirement.&nbsp; While I am disappointed to see Rodney retire,
we understand his desire to spend more time with his family while pursuing his
personal interests.&nbsp; Rodney has had an accomplished career full of successes.&nbsp;
He took a small family company and built it into a significant upholstery
business within the industry.&nbsp; As a senior executive officer of La-Z-Boy
Incorporated, he was extremely dedicated and made a great contribution to our
company over the years.&nbsp; He will be missed by both his colleagues at La-Z-Boy
and by individuals throughout the furniture industry as a whole.&#148;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Darrow added, &#147;At the same time,
I am pleased Otis will succeed Rod as President of England.&nbsp; Additionally, he
will have oversight responsibilities for La-Z-Boy&acute;s Bauhaus operation.&nbsp; With
succession planning of paramount importance to our organization, Otis will
transition easily into his new role and serve the company well.&nbsp; He is a
seasoned professional with vast experience in a multitude of areas.&nbsp; Earlier in
his career, he served for 14 years as Senior Vice President of Finance of
England, giving him familiarity with the company&acute;s unique operations and its
niche in the marketplace, all of which will enable him to be an excellent
leader.&nbsp; Additionally, he has significant expertise in a supply chain
management, finance, information technology, and logistics.&#148;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Before being named La-Z-Boy&acute;s
Senior Vice President Corporate Operations in May 2006, Sawyer served as the
company&acute;s Chief Information Officer for two years.&nbsp; Prior to that, he was with
England, where he held a series of increasingly responsible positions and,
before that, he was Controller at Councill Companies and was with Hanes
Incorporated earlier in his career.&nbsp; He holds a B.A. in Accounting from Guilford
College, an MBA from Wake Forest University and is a Certified Public
Accountant.</p>
