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

Amendment of Compensatory Arrangement

On April 3, 2009, Stan A. Askren, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, HNI Corporation (the "Corporation"), recommended and the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a 10% reduction in his base salary effective May 1, 2009. Previously, on February 11, 2009, Mr. Askren recommended and the Board approved a freeze in his base salary for the second consecutive year. The reduction will remain in effect until the Board again reviews Mr. Askren's compensation. The net effect of the reduction will be to decrease Mr. Askren's annual base salary by $73,500 from $735,004 to $661,504.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 3, 2009, the Board approved a 10% reduction in the annual retainer payable to each director for service to the Corporation effective May 12, 2009, the date of the Corporation's next scheduled payment to directors. Prior to the 10% reduction, the annual retainer has remained the same since August 7, 2007. The reduction will remain in effect until the Board again reviews director compensation. The net effect of the reduction will be to decrease the annual retainer by $10,000 from $100,000 to $90,000.

Mr. Askren recommended and the Board approved these changes due to the very challenging market conditions facing the Corporation.
