Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 26, 2026, Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a stock repurchase agreement (the “Stock Repurchase Agreement”) with F. Brooks Bertsch, a director of the Company, and certain family related entities listed on Schedule 1 thereto (the “Stockholders”) for the purchase by the Company of 1,279,870 shares of the Company’s common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) from the Stockholders in a privately-negotiated transaction at a purchase price of $47.00 per share and for a total purchase price of approximately $60.2 million. The purchase price represents a 2.5% discount to the closing price for the Common Stock on April 24, 2026. The Stockholders have informed the Company that they are entering into the Stock Repurchase Agreement in order to diversify their investment portfolios for financial planning purposes. The Stock Repurchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants, and the transaction closed on April 28, 2026.

A Special Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) comprised solely of independent directors recommended to the Board the approval of the Stock Repurchase Agreement and the Board, with F. Brooks Bertsch recusing himself, approved the Stock Repurchase Agreement. The purchase was funded through cash and available borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The shares purchased by the Company represent approximately 24% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately prior to the transaction. The transactions under the Stock Repurchase Agreement are supplemental to the Company’s previously announced stock repurchase program and do not impact the amount of permitted repurchases thereunder.

The foregoing description of the Stock Repurchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Stock Repurchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Resignation of F. Brooks Bertsch as a Director

 

F. Brooks Bertsch resigned from the Board pursuant to the terms of the Stock Repurchase Agreement. The resignation was effective as of April 28, 2026. Mr. Bertsch has confirmed to the Company’s Board that his resignation is not the result of any disagreement on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 27, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the matters set forth in Items 1.01 and 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the Company’s press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
