Item 8.01 Other Events

On July 16, 2024, the Board of Directors of MillerKnoll, Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment to the Company’s stock repurchase program authorizing an additional $200 million to fund share repurchases. This is in addition to the $66,261,320 remaining, as of June 1, 2024, under the stock repurchase program previously authorized by the Board.

Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in any manner management believes to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, including through privately negotiated transactions and open market purchases, which may be made pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1. Repurchases will be made at management’s discretion, subject to general market conditions, alternative uses for capital, the Company’s financial performance, and other factors. The Company currently expects to fund any repurchases of its shares through existing cash on hand and future cash flows.

The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time and from time to time, and for any reason, including market conditions, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares.
