AMENDMENT NO. 11 TO SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of LL Flooring Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LL”). This Amendment is being filed to amend the Schedule 13D that was originally filed on May 25, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 30, 2023, Amendment No. 2 filed on June 12, 2023, Amendment No. 3 filed on August 17, 2023, Amendment No. 4 filed on November 14, 2023, Amendment No. 5 filed on January 18, 2024, Amendment No. 6 filed on April 11, 2024 and Amendment No. 7 filed on April 30, 2024, Amendment No. 8 filed on May 31, 2024, Amendment No. 9 filed on June 28, 2025 and Amendment No. 10 filed on July 12, 2024 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”). Other than information set in Item 4, no other information in the Schedule 13D is being amended. Unless o therwise indicated in this Amendment, all capitalized terms have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

As previously announced, John Jason Delves, Thomas D. Sullivan and Jill Witter (collectively, the “F9 Nominees”), each of whom was nominated by F9 to serve on LL’s board of directors, were elected to the board at the annual stockholder meeting held on July 10, 2024. The goal of the F9 Nominees was to work collaboratively with the other board members and management to help facilitate a turnaround of LL and provide their unique industry expertise, as well as to bring accountability and a shareholder perspective to the Board given the Reporting Persons’ investment in LL. However, in connection with the Company’s filing of a voluntary petition seeking relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, F9 may potentially be involved in an acquisition of LL’s assets. The F9 Nominees did not engage in and recused themselves from discussions of the LL board with respect to the foregoing. In light of these matters, each of the F9 Nominees resigned as a member of the LL board effective August 8, 2024.

As set forth in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their plans at any time, as they deem appropriate, and in light of their ongoing evaluation of numerous factors described therein.
