BOARD MEMBER
MONROE, MI. May 10, 2006 –
La-Z-Boy Incorporated
(NYSE, PCX: LZB)
today announced that Richard M. Gabrys has

a member of the Audit Committee.
Gabrys serves on the Boards of CMS

Patrick H. Norton, La-Z-Boy Chairman,

company not only significant financial expertise, but a wealth of international
experience, specifically in China, which is exceedingly important to our business as the
industry evolves, turns more global and presents us with new challenges. Additionally, his
experience in manufacturing, financial services, utilities and health care, all of which
have gone through a tremendous amount of change, will be invaluable."
Gabrys is active on a number of
Boards and Advisory Councils for various organizations, including the Board of the
Manufacturing Institute. He has also held several government appointments, including being
