HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC. (NYSE:HVT) Files An 8-K Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Dennis L. Fink, as previously disclosed In a Form 8-K filed July
8, 2016, notified the Company on his 65^th
birthday of his intention to retire. He agreed at that time to
remain with Havertys until his successor could be named and to
assist in an orderly transition.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time
of its January 30, 2017 meeting granted equity and cash
incentives to Havertys’ executive officers, but no grants were
made to Mr. Fink due to his impending retirement. The Company
announced on April 18, 2017 the hiring of a new executive vice
president and chief financial officer to be effective May 4, 2017
and that Mr. Fink would remain with Havertys as executive vice
president, finance until mid-August.

The Compensation Committee approved on May 9, 2017 cash incentive
plans for Mr. Fink consistent in structure with those established
for the Company’s executive officers (described below) at its
January 30, 2017 meeting.

2017 Executive Officer Cash Incentive Plans: The incentive plans
(the “Plans” or “MIP I” or “MIP II”) determine 2017 cash
incentives to the Company’s 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan.
Participants are eligible to receive a target payout amount from
the combined Plans of 60% of their 2017 annual base salary. The
MIP I Plan covers 80% of the target payout. The MIP I sets goals
of pre-tax earnings on a quarterly and annual basis. Participants
will begin to earn the incentive pay once at least 80% of a goal
is met increasing up to 125% of the pre-tax goal. There is a 3%
change in the incentive pay earned for every 1% increase or
decrease in actual pre-tax earnings versus the goal with the
incentive pay potential ranging from 40% to 175% of the earnings
target payout amount. Pre-tax earnings for comparison to the goal
will be that amount reported in the annual Form 10-K, adjusted to
eliminate the effects of asset impairments, restructurings,
acquisitions, divestitures, other unusual or non-recurring items,
store closing costs, and the cumulative effect of accounting
changes, as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, as applicable. The MIP II Plan, which does
not provide for above target payouts, covers the remaining 20% of
the potential target payout. The MIP II Plan is earned for
achieving additional performance criteria or specific projects or
initiatives as approved by the Compensation Committee. The
Compensation Committee has discretion in the administration of
the Plans.

Mr. Fink will earn incentive pay under the MIP I based on the
achievements of the quarterly pre-tax earnings goals for the
first and second quarters of 2017, together representing 14% of
target payout for the year. Payout under the MIP II Plan will be
determined as approved by the Compensation Committee. Cash
incentives earned for all executive officers under the Plans,
including any for Mr. Fink, will be made in February 2018 after
certification by the Compensation Committee.
