Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

      Effective January 29, 2000, La-Z-Boy Incorporated acquired LADD Furniture,
      Inc. through a merger which resulted in LADD becoming a wholly-owned
      subsidiary of La-Z-Boy.  The merger was consummated pursuant to the
      Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 28, 1999 among LADD,
      La-Z-Boy, and a La-Z-Boy subsidiary, as amended.  LADD's shareholders
      approved the merger at a special meeting on January 27, 2000.

      Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, each issued and outstanding
      share of LADD common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.18
      shares of La-Z-Boy common stock.  La-Z-Boy will issue approximately 9.2
      million shares of its common stock in exchange for the LADD common stock,
      which will result in the former LADD shareholders' owning approximately
      15% of La-Z-Boy's outstanding common stock.

      La-Z-Boy has previously reported detailed information about LADD, LADD's
      business, and the proposed merger in a Registration Statement on Form S-4
      (Registration No. 333-92763), which was declared effective by the
      Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 1999.
