Item 8.01.         Other Events

On April 24, 2007, the Herman Miller, Inc. Board of Directors approved the appointment of Curt Pullen as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), to be effective during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. At that time, the Company's current CFO, Elizabeth Nickels, will assume responsibility as President of Herman Miller for Healthcare, retaining her title of Executive Vice President of Herman Miller, Inc.

Mr. Pullen, a certified public accountant, has served in various finance leadership roles during his more than 16 years with the Company, including Sr. Vice President of Finance for the Company's North American business. For the past 4 years, he has done an outstanding job leading the Company's dealer distribution organization and has built a stronger, more focused and effective contract dealer community. In this role, Mr. Pullen has earned the respect of the Company's independent dealers who recognize his keen business acumen and passion for customer service.

The existing lead for the Company's Healthcare business, Charley Vranian, has made the decision to retire within the next year. This decision provides the opportunity for Ms. Nickels to take over the leadership of that business after more than 7 successful years as CFO. The Company believes her natural ability to build teams and engage with customers, combined with her passion for healthcare, will enable her to excel in this new role. The transition will occur after the completion of the fiscal 2007 year-end reporting process.
