HOOKER FURNISHINGS Corp

The Committee does not have a fixed standard for determining how an executive officer’s total compensation is allocated among the various elements of the Company’s compensation program. Instead, the Committee uses a flexible approach so that it can structure the compensation elements in a manner that will, in its judgment, best achieve the specific objectives of the Company’s compensation program. However, the Committee believes that a meaningful portion of a named executive officer’s compensation should be performance-based.
