Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 24, 2007, HNI Corporation's operating subsidiary, Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. ("HHT"), (i) entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") to purchase substantially all of the assets and business of Harman Stove Company ("Harman"), a privately held, domestic manufacturer and marketer of free-standing stoves and fireplace inserts, and (ii) consented to Harman's disclosure of the transaction to certain of Harman's trade creditors. HHT is not related to or affiliated with Harman or its principals. Harman is a leader in the alternative fuels segment of the U.S. hearth industry and generates annual sales in excess of $40,000,000. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2007, subject to satisfactory completion of closing conditions.

Under the Agreement, HHT will pay consideration of $29,750,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, and assume certain leases, purchase money security interests and accruals. The Agreement also provides for a contingent future payment by HHT to Harman should the acquired business achieve certain financial targets. HHT will not assume any of Harman's liabilities to Harman's general creditors.
