Herman Miller, Inc., Announces Increased Quarterly Dividend, Additional Share Repurchase Authorization

ZEELAND, MI — Herman Miller, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLHR), reported today that its Board of Directors has approved an approximate 10% increase in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend to a rate of $0.08 per share, payable on April 15, 2006, to shareholders of record as of March 3, 2006. Additionally, the Board of Directors extended the company’s stock repurchase program by authorizing share repurchases of $150 million, in addition to the approximately $13 million still remaining from a previous authorization.

The change in dividend is the second increase since May 2004 and, together with that increase, represents a 121% increase in the dividend rate. The new repurchase authorization represents a continuation of the company’s ongoing repurchase program under which it has returned to shareholders approximately $446 million through the repurchase of 17.7 million shares since the beginning of fiscal 2001.

“We continue to view share repurchase as the most efficient means of returning cash to shareholders. We also understand that our committed stockholders and employee-owners benefit from a higher dividend. We’re pleased that our strong cash flow enables us to both enhance the dividend and maintain our buyback program, while continuing to fund a very robust strategic investment portfolio,” said Beth Nickels, chief financial officer.

Brian Walker, chief executive officer, added, “Our increased cash flow has allowed us to take these positive steps but it’s the outstanding efforts of Herman Miller’s people that make these actions possible. “
