Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Actions of activist shareholders could be disruptive and potentially costly and the possibility that activist shareholders may seek changes that conflict with our strategic direction could cause uncertainty about the strategic direction of our business.
Activist investors may attempt to effect changes in our strategic direction and how we are governed, or to acquire control over the Company. Activist investors have, and in the future, may commence campaigns seeking to influence us to take particular actions favored by the activist or gain representation on the Board of Directors, which could result in additional disruption and diversion of management's attention. Some investors may seek to increase short-term shareholder value by advocating corporate actions, such as financial restructuring, increased borrowing, or even sales of assets or the entire Company. While we welcome opinions from all shareholders, activist campaigns that contest or we believe conflict with our strategic direction could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, as responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist shareholders can disrupt our operations, be costly and time-consuming, and divert the attention of our Board of Directors and management from the pursuit of business strategies. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of changes to how we are governed and/or operate may lead to the perception of a change in our business, as well as the perception of instability or lack of continuity, which may be exploited by our competitors, may cause concern to our current or potential clients, and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. These types of actions could cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 56
- Manufacturing - Risk 1Product recalls or product safety concerns could materially adversely affect our sales and operating results.
If the Company's merchandise offerings do not meet applicable safety standards or consumers' expectations regarding safety, the Company could experience decreased sales, increased costs and/or be exposed to legal and reputational risk. Although we require that all of our vendors comply with applicable product safety laws and regulations, we are dependent on them to ensure that the products we buy comply with all safety standards. Events that give rise to actual, potential or perceived product safety concerns could expose the Company to government enforcement action and/or private litigation. Reputational damage caused by real or perceived product safety concerns or product recalls could negatively affect the Company's business and results of operations.
- Manufacturing - Risk 2Our number of manufacturing sites may increase our exposure to business disruptions and could result in higher costs.
We have a limited number of manufacturing locations. Our upholstery operations consist of three upholstery plants in North Carolina as well as three plants in Mexico. Our case goods operations are supported by two manufacturing plants located in Vermont and Honduras, as well as one sawmill, one rough mill and one kiln dry lumberyard. If any of our manufacturing sites experience significant business interruption, our ability to manufacture or deliver our products in a timely manner would likely be impacted. Fewer locations could result in longer distances for delivery and could result in higher costs to transport products if fuel costs significantly increase.
- Manufacturing - Risk 3Our number of manufacturing sites may increase our exposure to business disruptions and could result in higher costs.
