Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
�
All purchases of the Common Stock of the Issuer have been made by or on behalf of the Funds using the investment capital of the Funds.��The aggregate purchase price of the 793,945 shares of Common Stock acquired was approximately $2,086,263.27 (including brokerage commissions and transaction costs).
�
Item 4.
Purpose of the Transaction
�
The primary purpose of the Funds acquisition of the Common Stock is for investment, although the Funds have taken certain (and expect to take other) actions to encourage the Issuer to enhance value for its stockholders.
�
Over the last two years, Mr. Hale, on behalf of the Hale Funds, has had multiple exchanges with management of the Issuer regarding the Hale Funds concern about the poor operating performance and imprudent capital management strategies of the Issuer.��As a part of some such exchanges, the Hale Funds delivered written analyses of the Issuers poor performance and results, relative to several metrics, and asked the Issuer to pursue different courses of action.
�
Since July 2014, Mr. Hale has been discussing the above and other concerns of the Hale Funds with Mr. Putnam of the TALANTA Funds, which also had been concerned about the Issuers poor performance and misguided direction. Messrs. Hale and Putnam identified several areas of agreement between their respective Funds with respect to the reasons for the Issuers disappointing results and challenges, and the prudent strategic direction for the Issuer.��Among other things, they agreed that the Issuer would benefit from new perspectives on its Board of Directors, which they hope and believe will lead the Board of Directors to assess critically the competency of current management to lead the Issuer and to consider (and have the Issuer implement) a professionally-advised strategic sales process as the prudent course to enhance and realize value for the Issuers stockholders.
�
On November 4, 2014, the Funds submitted in accordance with the Issuers Bylaws a written notice and request for nomination of two candidates, Robert E. Allen and Jeffrey S. Gilliam, for election to the Board of Directors of the Issuer at the Issuers 2015 annual meeting of stockholders.��A copy of the nomination notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
�
On December 22, 2014, the Funds�sent a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, in which they provided a summary analysis of their assessment of the Issuers poor operating performance and misguided strategic direction under current management, and they encouraged the Board of Directors to consider and initiate a strategic sales process for the Issuer.��The Funds may seek to engage in follow-up discussions about those matters with the Board of Directors and/or with management of the Issuer.��More generally, in pursuing their investment purposes, the Reporting Persons may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in the Common Stock at times, and in such manner, as they deem advisable to benefit from, among other things: (i)�changes in the market prices of the Common Stock; (ii)�changes in the Issuers operations, business strategy or prospects; or (iii)�from the sale or merger of the Issuer.��To evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Persons will closely monitor the Issuers operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure and prevailing market conditions, as well as other economic, securities markets and investment considerations.
�
�
�
�
�
The Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with the management or Board of Directors of the Issuer, other stockholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit and other investors.��Such evaluations and discussions may result in, among other things, the Reporting Persons: (i)�modifying their ownership of Common Stock; (ii)�exchanging information with the Issuer; (iii)�proposing changes in the Issuers operations, governance or capitalization; (iv)�pursuing a transaction that would result in the Reporting Persons acquisition of a controlling interest in the Issuer; or (v)�pursuing one or more of the other actions described in subsections (a)�through (j)�of Item�4 of Schedule 13D.
�
In addition to the information disclosed in this Statement, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to: (i)�formulate other plans and proposals; and (ii)�take other actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in subsections (a)�through (j)�of Item�4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.
�
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
�
(a) - (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference.

�

Re:
Proposal to Nominate Candidates for Election as Directors at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. (the Corporation)

Dear Sir or Madam:
�
Talanta Fund, L.P. (the Talanta Partnership), and Hale Partnership Fund, L.P. and MGEN II  Hale Fund, L.P. (collectively, the Hale Partnerships, and together with the Talanta Partnership, the Nominating Stockholders) hereby submit this notice (the Notice) of the Nominating Stockholders desire to nominate two persons for election as directors of the Corporation at the��2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation, or any other meeting of stockholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournment, postponement, rescheduling or continuation thereof (the 2015 Annual Meeting).

The Nominating Stockholders are providing this Notice at least 120 days in advance of the anniversary date of the Corporations proxy statement in connection with the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was March 5, 2014.
�
The Nominating Stockholders submit this Notice pursuant to the�requirements set forth in Section 11 of Article II of the Amended By-Laws�of the Corporation dated February 3, 2010 (the By-Laws), in the form published by the Company on the Securities and Exchange Commissions EDGAR database. The Nominating Stockholders are not aware of any amendment to the By-Laws changing these requirements since February 3, 2010. In addition, the Nominating Stockholders are not aware of any other requirement in any governing document of the Corporation that is applicable to director nominations by a stockholder of the Corporation, and the Corporation has not filed any disclosure or other notice concerning the same, which would have been required pursuant to rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).

Section 11 of Article II of the By-Laws provides:
�

�
�
�
Secretary of Stanley Furniture Company, Inc.
November 3, 2014
Page 2
�
&any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally may nominate one or more persons for election as directors of a meeting only if written notice if [sic] such stockholders intend to make such nomination or nominations have been given, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of stockholders (other than the 1994 Annual Meeting), 120 days in advance of the anniversary date of the Corporations proxy statement (or information statement in lieu thereof) in connection with the previous year's Annual Meeting of Stockholders and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at the 1994 annual meeting or a special meeting of stockholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the seventh day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders.

Each such notice shall set forth: (a) the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the stockholders; (d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such stockholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board of Directors; and (e) the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected.

The Talanta Partnership, as of the date hereof, is the beneficial owner of 199,085 shares of the common stock of the Corporation, which shares are held on behalf of the Talanta Partnership (in street name) by Merrill Lynch, and with respect to which shares the Talanta Partnership has the right to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation.��
�
The Hale Partnerships, collectively, as of the date hereof, are the beneficial owners of 413,286 shares of common stock of the Corporation, which shares are held on behalf of the Hale Partnerships (in street name) by InterActive Brokers, and with respect to which shares the Hale Partnerships have the right to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation.

The Nominating Stockholders believe that the Corporations By-Laws, properly construed, permit them to submit a nominee for election under Section 11 of Article II. However, to the extent the Corporation can establish otherwise as a precondition for the Nominating Stockholders to make a nomination for the 2015 Annual Meeting, each Nominating Stockholder will cause 100 or more of its shares of common stock of the Corporation to be placed in its name as the stockholder of record. Please inform the Nominating Stockholders promptly in writing if the Corporation has construed the By-Laws in such a fashion.
