Amendment of Compensatory Arrangement

On February 23, 2009, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of HNI Corporation (the "Corporation") approved the grant of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the HNI Corporation 2007 Stock-Based Compensation Plan in lieu of awards traditionally granted under the HNI Corporation Long-Term Performance Plan (the "Performance Plan") for each of the following corporate officers (collectively, the "Officers"): Stan A. Askren - Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, HNI Corporation; Kurt A. Tjaden - Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, HNI Corporation; Bradley D. Determan - Executive Vice President, HNI Corporation and President, Hearth & Home Technologies Inc.; Jerald K. Dittmer - Executive Vice President, HNI Corporation and President, The HON Company; and Marco V. Molinari - Executive Vice President, HNI Corporation and President, HNI International Inc.

The RSUs vest three years from the date of grant and represent 80 percent of each of the Officers' long-term incentive compensation award for the Corporation's 2009 fiscal year. Stock options make up the remaining 20 percent of each of the Officers' long-term incentive compensation award. Each of the Officers received the following number of RSUs: Mr. Askren - 113,514; Mr. Tjaden - 38,224; Mr. Determan - 38,224; Mr. Dittmer - 41,120; and Mr. Molinari - 38,490.

None of the Officers received payouts under the Performance Plan for the 2006-2008 performance period nor will they receive payouts for the 2007-2009 performance period.
