# Herman Miller resolves merger litigation with supplemental proxy disclosures; 9 suits dismissed

## Summary
- Nine lawsuits challenging the Knoll merger to be dismissed with prejudice after supplemental disclosures.
- Supplemental disclosures add details on Investindustrial standstill, BofA analysis correction, and Goldman Sachs multiple adjustment.
- No admission of liability; companies believe claims meritless but act to avoid delaying July 13 shareholder vote.
- Corrected Goldman Sachs median EV/LTM EBITDA multiple for precedent transactions from 13.5x to 14.1x.
