AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SCHEDULE 13D FILED BY
CLARENCE H. RIDLEY
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This filing constitutes Amendment No. 4 to a Schedule 13D filed by
Clarence H. Ridley, partner in the law firm of King & Spalding, Atlanta,
Georgia, and a director of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (the "Issuer"), a
Maryland corporation, whose principal executive offices are located at 866 West
Peachtree Street, NW, Atlanta, Georgia 30308, with respect to the Issuer's
$1.00 par value Class A Common Stock (the "Class A Common Stock").
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
This statement is filed by Clarence H. Ridley, an individual whose
business address is 191 Peachtree Street, 46th Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
Mr. Ridley is a partner in the law firm of King & Spalding, Atlanta, Georgia
and is a director of the Issuer.
Mr. Ridley has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding during
the last five years nor has he, during the last five years, been a party to any
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
which resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations
of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state
securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Mr. Ridley is a citizen of the United States.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS FOR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Since the filing of the most recent amendment to the Schedule 13D
(June 17, 1992), Mr. Ridley has become the owner of record and beneficially of
additional shares of Class A Common Stock through a three-for-two stock split
and a cash purchase of shares in the open market by his sister, Clare Ridley
Ranney, with respect to which he holds a Proxy.
Also, since the filing of the most recent amendment to the Schedule
13D (June 17, 1992), Mr. Ridley exercised certain stock options to purchase
Class A Common Stock (on a cashless basis), and allowed certain stock options
to expire unexercised.
In addition, inasmuch as shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock
are convertible into shares of a second class of common stock of the Issuer,
and inasmuch as the Issuer is conducting a program of repurchasing shares of
its Class A Common Stock in the open market, the outstanding shares of such
class are from time to time reduced as a result of such conversions and
repurchases, thereby having the effect of increasing the percentage ownership
of Mr. Ridley when such conversions and repurchases occur.
