Your Last Chance to Protect Your Investment: F9 Sends Letter to LL Flooring Shareholders

LL Flooring’s Board Has Presided Over Staggering Value Destruction and Operational Losses, Conducted a Sham Sale Process, and Put the Company at Immediate Risk of Going Out of Business

F9’s Three Director Nominees Have the Critical Flooring Industry Expertise, Shareholder Alignment, and Strategic Plan Necessary to Restore LL Flooring’s Value

Time is Running Out to Hold LL Flooring’s Board Accountable for its Abysmal Performance and Vote for Change to Protect Your Investment

F9 Urges Shareholders to Vote the GOLD Proxy Card “FOR” F9’s Nominees – Tom Sullivan, Jason Delves, and Jill Witter – and “WITHHOLD” on ALL LL Flooring Nominees

F9 Investments, LLC (“F9”), which together with its affiliates collectively owns approximately 8.85% of LL Flooring Holdings, Inc. (“LL Flooring” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LL) common stock and is the Company’s largest shareholder, today sent a letter to LL Flooring’s shareholders urging them to cast their votes for F9’s three highly qualified director nominees – Tom Sullivan, Jason Delves, and Jill Witter – before it is too late.

The full text of the letter can be accessed online here and at www.LLGroove.com.

Mr. Sullivan commented, “LL Flooring’s Board has overseen and materially contributed to the destruction of significant shareholder value and simply cannot be allowed to continue to drive this Company into the ground. Our nominees bring the critical flooring industry expertise, shareholder alignment, and strategic plan necessary to restore LL Flooring’s value for the benefit of all shareholders. With the Company’s annual meeting fast approaching, now is the time for shareholders to hold LL Flooring’s incumbent Board accountable for its ongoing failures and vote for change to protect their investment.”

VOTE ON THE GOLD PROXY CARD TODAY “FOR” F9’S NOMINEES TOM SULLIVAN, JASON DELVES, AND JILL WITTER AND “WITHHOLD” ON ALL LL FLOORING NOMINEES AND JERALD HAMMANN

Shareholders must act decisively to safeguard their investment. YOUR VOTE MATTERS, NO MATTER HOW MANY SHARES YOU OWN. We urge all shareholders to protect the value of their investment by voting for F9’s nominees today using the GOLD proxy card.

You can cast your vote online at www.ProxyVote.com or by completing, signing and dating the GOLD proxy card or GOLD voting instruction form and mailing it in the postage paid envelope provided.

If you have not received the GOLD proxy card from F9 and have only received a WHITE proxy card sent to you by the Company, you can still support F9’s nominees using the WHITE proxy card. You can do so by checking the “WITHHOLD” boxes on all of the Company nominees and Jerald Hammann and checking the “FOR” boxes for all F9 nominees – Tom Sullivan, Jason Delves, and Jill Witter.
