This is the second consecutive year that Mr. Burger and Classic have been invited to participate in this prestigious event.
"Maintaining pace with the ever-evolving needs and interests of the American consumer is an endless mission," said Mr. Burger.

This approach has allowed us to evolve in lock-step with the American consumer, which in turn has led to enhanced opportunities for our partners and customers, and ultimately significant year-over-year revenue and EBITDA growth for Classic. I'm honored to participate in another great Jefferies event, and to share insights into Classic's perspective on the future of the sleep products industry, as well as our proven formula for success, with peers and members of the investment community."
