Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On August 29, 2023, La-Z-Boy Incorporated (the “Company”) held its 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

Set forth below are the final voting results for the proposals voted on at the Annual Meeting.

Shares Voted For	Shares Voted Against	Abstentions	Broker Non-Votes
36,019,806	1,143,306	77,744	2,835,162
