EXPLANATORY NOTE

HNI Corporation (the "Corporation") registered 400,000 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock") (adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split effected by the Corporation on March 27, 1998), for issuance under the 1997 Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors of HNI Corporation (the "1997 Plan") pursuant to Form S-8 Registration Statement No. 333-27121 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 1997 (the "Registration Statement").  Upon shareholder approval of the 2007 Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors of HNI Corporation (the "2007 Plan") at the Corporation's Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 8, 2007, the 2007 Plan replaced the 1997 Plan and no further awards will be made under the 1997 Plan.

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement is being filed to deregister the 290,264 shares of Common Stock that have not been issued and are not subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding awards under the 1997 Plan.  Accordingly, the Corporation hereby withdraws these 290,264 shares of Common Stock from registration under the Registration Statement.
