STIPULATION OF SETTLEMENT

This Stipulation of Settlement ("Stipulation") is made as of January 13,

2017, by and among the following parties: (1) Beaver County Employees' Retirement Fund, Erie County Employees' Retirement System, and Luc DeWulf (collectively, the "Lead Plaintiffs"), on behalf of themselves and the Court-certified Class, by and through Class Counsel in this Action; and (2) Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. ("Tile Shop"), Robert A. Rucker, The Tile Shop, Inc., Timothy C. Clayton, Peter J. Jacullo III, JWTS, Inc., Peter H. Kamin, Todd Krasnow, Adam L. Suttin, William E. Watts, Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., CJS Securities, Inc., Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc., Piper Jaffray & Co., Sidoti & Company, LLC, Telsey Advisory Group

LLC, and Wedbush Securities, Inc. (collectively, the "Defendants"), by and through their attorneys in this Action. 1

I. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION

In November 2013, two class action lawsuits were commenced against Tile Shop and certain of the Defendants in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. By Order entered on March 13, 2014, the two lawsuits were transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the "Court"). The two lawsuits subsequently were consolidated as Case No. 0:14-cv-00786-ADM-TNL under the caption Beaver County Employees' Retirement Fund, et al. v. Tile Shop

1 All terms with initial capitalization not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in ¶ IV(A) herein. All claims against Piper Jaffray &Co. and CJS Securities, Inc. have been dismissed. Nevertheless, for purposes of the settlement, they have been included among the Defendants.

Holdings, Inc., et al. (the "Action"), and Lead Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Counsel were appointed.

On May 23, 2014, Lead Plaintiffs served and filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint for Violations of the Federal Securities Laws ("Consolidated Complaint"), which asserted claims against all Defendants. Specifically, the Consolidated Complaint alleged violations of: (i) Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 against all of the Defendants, and (ii) Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against certain of the Defendants. On July 25, 2014, Defendants moved to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. By Memorandum Opinion

and Order entered on March 4, 2015, the Court granted Defendants' motions to dismiss in part, and denied them in part.

Thereafter the Parties engaged in substantial discovery, including document production, depositions, and subpoenas to non-parties. The Parties also exchanged

reports of their experts, and took expert depositions.

On December 1, 2015, Lead Plaintiffs moved for class certification, which Defendants opposed. By Order entered on July 28, 2016, the Court granted Lead Plaintiffs' motion for class certification, certifying the Class and appointing Lead Plaintiffs as Class Representatives and Co-Lead Counsel as Class Counsel. Lead Plaintiffs have not yet sent class notice.

On October 14, 2016, Defendants filed motions for summary judgment and also filed motions to exclude the opinions of Lead Plaintiffs' experts. Also on October

14, 2016, Lead Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment and a motion to

US.l09306594.04

exclude the opinions of Defendants' experts. Those motions have not been decided. Trial is set for March 13, 2017.

Over the course of the Action, the Parties have participated in three mediations and have exchanged multiple mediation statements. Following the completion of fact and expert discovery, and with trial approaching, the Parties agreed to participate in their third mediation, conducted by JAMS Endispute mediator, the Honorable Daniel H. Weinstein (ret.), on December 6, 2016. During this mediation, the Parties were able to reach agreement to settle this Action. At the request of the Parties, the Court suspended certain deadlines so that the Court can consider the settlement described in this Stipulation.

II. CLAIMS OF THE LEAD PLAINTIFFS AND THE BENEFITS OF SETTLEMENT TO THE CLASS

Lead Plaintiffs and Class Counsel have carefully weighed the benefit to the Class of a settlement of the Action at this stage of the litigation on the terms set forth herein, against the significant cost, risk and delay that continued prosecution of the

Action would involve. Although Lead Plaintiffs and Class Counsel believe that the claims pursued in the Action are meritorious, they recognize the considerable risk that they may lose at summary judgment, at trial, on post-trial motions, or on appeal. Lead Plaintiffs and Class Counsel have also taken into account the expense and delay in attempting to prosecute the Action through trial, likely post-trial motions, and appeals. Additionally, Lead Plaintiffs and Class Counsel have taken into account the difficulty in

proving damages. In light of the foregoing, Lead Plaintiffs and Class Counsel believe

us 109306594.04

that the settlement set forth in this Stipulation confers substantial and immediate benefits on the Class and is therefore in the best interest of the Class. This Stipulation shall not be construed or deemed to be a concession by Lead Plaintiffs of any infirmity in the claims asserted in the Action.

III. DEFENDANTS' DENIALS OF WRONGDOING AND REASONS FOR SETTLEMENT

Defendants have denied and continue to deny each and all of the claims and contentions alleged in the Action. Defendants repeatedly have asserted, and continue to assert, many defenses thereto, and have expressly denied and continue to deny any wrongdoing or legal liability arising out of any of the conduct alleged in the Action. Neither this Stipulation, nor any document referred to herein, nor any action taken to

carry out this Stipulation, is, may be construed as, or may be used as an admission by or against Defendants of any fault, wrongdoing or liability whatsoever.

Defendants nevertheless have concluded that the further conduct of the Action against them would be protracted and expensive. Substantial amounts of time, energy and resources have been and, unless this settlement is made, will continue to be devoted to the defense of the claims asserted in the Action. Defendants also recognize that there are risks attendant in any litigation. Defendants have, therefore, determined that it is desirable and beneficial to them that the Action be settled in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Stipulation to eliminate the burden and expense of further protracted litigation.

US. 109306594.04

¶ IV(E)(5), including all interest earned on the Settlement Fund net of any tax liability, shall be returned to Defendants and/or their Insurers, and no other Person shall have any further claim whatsoever to such amounts.

7. This is not a claims-made settlement. As of the Effective Date, Defendants, the Insurers, and/or any other Person(s) funding the Settlement on Defendants' behalf, shall not have any right to the return of the Settlement Fund or any portion thereof for any reason. As of the Effective Date, all rights of Defendants and the Insurers in or to the Settlement Fund shall be extinguished.

8. The Settlement Fund shall be applied, subject to the approval of the Court, as follows:

(a) To pay to Class Counsel such attorneys' fees and litigation expenses as the Court may award on the Fee and Expense Petition;

(b) To pay such amounts to Lead Plaintiffs as the Court may award on the Fee and Expense Petition;

(d) To pay, after the Effective Date, the claims of all Authorized Claimants as allowed by the Plan of Distribution approved by the Court.

9. The Settlement Fund is intended to be a Qualified Settlement Fund

within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.468B-l. For the purposes of§1.468B, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "administrator" shall be the Escrow Agents. Defendants, Defendants' Counsel, and the Insurers shall have no liability or

us 109306594.04

responsibility for the payment of any Administrative Expenses. The Escrow Agents shall be responsible for filing tax returns for the Settlement Fund and paying from the Settlement Fund any Taxes owed with respect to the Settlement Fund. The Escrow Agents shall indemnify and hold harmless Defendants, Defendants' Counsel, and the Insurers for any liability for Administrative Expenses. To the extent necessary, Defendants shall provide timely to the Escrow Agents the statement described in

Treasury Regulations §1.468B-3(e). All costs incurred in connection with the taxation of the Settlement Fund, including Taxes, are considered "Administrative Expenses" and

shall be paid out of the Settlement Fund by the Escrow Agents.

10. The Escrow Agents are authorized to execute such transactions as are provided for in this Stipulation. The Escrow Agents shall not be responsible for the payment of any amounts due except to the extent of maintaining account of and appropriately paying amounts as required by this Stipulation, but only to the extent such amounts are delivered into the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agents shall not be responsible for the performance of any obligations made herein by any Party to this Stipulation.

F. Administration And Calculation Of Claims, Final Awards, And Supervision And Distribution Of The Settlement Fund

1. The Claims Administrator, subject to supervision and direction of

Class Counsel and the Court, shall provide notice of the Action and settlement to the

Class as set forth in the Preliminary Approval Order, shall administer and calculate the

22 us 109306594.04

Claim Forms submitted by Class Members, and shall oversee distribution of the Net

Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants.

2. Tile Shop shall make good faith efforts to provide within ten (10) business days following the execution of this Stipulation, and without any charge to Lead Plaintiffs or the Class, the transfer records/shareholder lists of Tile Shop for the relevant time period.

3. Concurrently with submission of this Stipulation to the Court, Class Counsel are submitting a proposed Plan of Distribution of the Net Settlement Fund, which is set forth in the Notice. At the Settlement Hearing, Class Counsel will ask the Court to approve the Plan of Distribution. It is agreed by the undersigned Parties that Court approval of the proposed Plan of Distribution is not a condition of this Stipulation,

and the proposed Plan of Distribution is to be considered by the Court separately from the Court's consideration of the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement set forth in this Stipulation. Any order or proceedings relating to the proposed Plan of Distribution shall not operate to terminate or cancel this Stipulation or to affect its

finality. Lead Plaintiffs, Class Members, and Defendants shall be bound by the terms of this Stipulation, irrespective of whether the Court disapproves or modifies the Plan of Distribution.

4. Upon the Effective Date and thereafter, and in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation, the Plan of Distribution, or such further approval and further order(s) of the Court as may be necessary or as circumstances may require, the Net

US.l09306594.04

Settlement Fund shall be distributed to Authorized Claimants, subject to and in accordance with the following provisions.

a.Each Person claiming to be an Authorized Claimant shall be required to submit to the Claims Administrator a completed Claim Form, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 attached hereto, postmarked or submitted electronically by a date set by the Court that is no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the mailing of the Notice (the "Bar Date"), signed under penalty of perjury and supported by such documents as are specified in the Claim Form and as are reasonably available to such Person.

b. Except as otherwise ordered by the Court, all Class Members who fail to submit a Claim Form by the Bar Date, or such other period as may be ordered by the Court, or who submit a Claim Form that is rejected as deficient and not cured,

shall be forever barred from receiving any payments pursuant to the Stipulation and the settlement set forth herein, but will in all other respects be subject to and bound by the provisions of the Stipulation, the releases contained herein, and the Final Judgment Order. Upon the entry of the Final Judgment Order, Lead Plaintiffs, all Class Members, and anyone claiming through or on behalf of any of them, will be forever barred and

enjoined from commencing, instituting, asserting, prosecuting, or continuing to prosecute any action or proceeding in any court of law or equity, arbitration tribunal, administrative forum, or other forum of any kind, that tries to assert the Released Plaintiffs' Claims against any of the Defendants' Released Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Class

Counsel shall have the discretion, but not the obligation, to accept for processing late-

US.l09306594.04

submitted claims so long as the distribution (or redistribution) of the Net Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants is not materially delayed as a result. No Person shall have any claim against Class Counsel, Lead Plaintiffs, the Claims Administrator, or Defendants' Released Parties by reason of the decision to exercise such discretion whether to accept late claims.

c. The Claims Administrator shall calculate the claims of Authorized Claimants in accordance with the Plan of Distribution. Following the Effective Date, the Claims Administrator shall send to each Authorized Claimant his, her, or its share of the Net Settlement Fund in accordance with the Plan of Distribution. No distributions will be made to Authorized Claimants whose distribution would be less than

$10.00.

d. If there is any balance remaining in the Net Settlement Fund after a reasonable period of time after the initial date of distribution of the Net Settlement Fund, then after the Claims Administrator has made reasonable efforts to have

Authorized Claimants cash their distributions, the Claims Administrator shall, if feasible, distribute such balance among Authorized Claimants in an equitable and economical fashion. These redistributions shall be repeated until the balance remaining in the Net Settlement Fund is a de minimis amount that can no longer be distributed to Authorized Claimants in an equitable and economical fashion. Such remaining balance shall then be donated to the following non-profit organization: Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid.

e. Defendants and Defendants' Released Parties shall have no

responsibility for, interest in, or liability whatsoever with respect to the distribution of the

us 109306594.04

Net Settlement Fund, the Plan of Distribution, the determination, administration, or calculation of claims, the payment or withholding of Taxes, the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agents, Administrative Expenses, or any losses incurred in connection with the foregoing. No Person, including Lead Plaintiffs, Class Members, and Plaintiffs' Counsel, shall have any claim of any kind against Defendants or Defendants' Released Parties with respect to the matters set forth in this paragraph.

f. No Person shall have any claim against Lead Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs' Counsel, or the Claims Administrator based on distributions made

substantially in accordance with the Stipulation and the Plan of Distribution, or otherwise as further ordered by the Court.

G. The Fee And Expense Petition

1. No later than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the deadline for submitting objections/requesting exclusion from the Class set forth in the Notice, Class Counsel will file the Fee and Expense Petition for (a) an award of attorneys' fees, (b) the reasonable expenses incurred by Plaintiffs' Counsel in connection with prosecuting the Action, and (c) any interest on such fees and expenses at the same rate and for the same time periods as earned by the Settlement Fund (until paid). The Fee and Expense Petition may also include a request for reimbursement pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §78u-4(a)(4) for

Lead Plaintiffs' expenses and time related to their representation of the Class. Any amounts awarded on the Fee and Expense Petition shall be paid only from the Settlement Fund and shall not otherwise be paid by Defendants or the Insurers. Class Counsel may allocate the amounts awarded on the Fee and Expense Petition among Plaintiffs' Counsel

US.l09306594 04

in a manner in which they in good faith believe reflects the contributions of such counsel to the institution, prosecution, and resolution of the Action.

2. It is agreed that the allowance or disallowance by the Court of the Fee and Expense Petition is not a term or condition of the settlement set forth in this Stipulation, and any order or proceeding relating thereto, or any appeal from any such order, shall not operate to terminate or cancel this Stipulation.

3. The amount awarded by the Court on the Fee and Expense Petition shall be paid to Class Counsel from the Settlement Fund within five (5) business days upon entry of an order awarding such attorneys' fees and expenses, notwithstanding timely objections to, potential for appeal from, or collateral attack on, the settlement or the award of fees and expenses. In the event that the Final Judgment Order or the order awarding such fees and expenses is reversed or modified by final non-appealable order, or if the settlement is cancelled or terminated by a final non-appealable order for any reason, then Class Counsel shall, in an amount consistent with such reversal or modification, refund such fees or expenses to the Settlement Fund, plus interest earned thereon at the same rate as earned on the Settlement Fund, within ten (10) business days from receiving notice from Defendants' Counsel or from a court of competent jurisdiction.

US.\09306594.04

among the Parties concerning its interpretation or application arises.

US.l09306594.04

orders, had never been executed. In such event, the Parties jointly will seek vacation of any order entered or actions taken in connection with this Stipulation.
