Amendment Description	This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) on Form 10-K/A of HG Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is filed with respect to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2023. The purpose of this Amendment is to include in Part III certain information that was to be incorporated by reference from the proxy statement for the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Certain Part III information was previously omitted from the Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from the registrant’s definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed not later than 120 days after the registrant’s fiscal year-end. The Company is filing this Amendment to include certain Part III information in the Form 10-K because the Company did not file a definitive proxy statement containing such information within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K.   Accordingly, this Amendment is being filed solely to (i) amend Part III (Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14) of the Form 10-K to include the information required by such Items that was not included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023, (ii) delete the reference on the cover of the Form 10-K to the incorporation by reference of portions of the Company’s definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Form 10-K, and (iii) file new certifications of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer as exhibits to this Amendment under Item 15 of Part IV hereof, pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). No financial statements are included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K; accordingly, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Similarly, because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment, certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been omitted.   This Amendment makes no changes to the Form 10-K except for those described above. This Amendment does not amend, update, or change the financial statements or any other items or disclosures contained in the Form 10-K and does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the original date of the Form 10-K; accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K.   Unless indicated otherwise, throughout this Amendment, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean HG Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
