AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO
SCHEDULE 13D OF CLARENCE H. RIDLEY
RESPECTING THE SECURITIES OF HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC.
This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D, as amended to date (the “Schedule 13D”), is filed by
Clarence H. Ridley, an individual (the “Reporting Person”), and relates to shares of the Class A
Common Stock of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”), with
principal executive offices located at 780 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 800, Atlanta, Georgia 30342.
This Amendment No. 6 hereby amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as set forth below, and is
being filed to report a change in share ownership as a result of the conversion of 250,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock into Common Stock (as defined below) of the Issuer on May 19, 2010. As a
result of this conversion, the Reporting Person holds less than five percent of the outstanding
Class A Common Stock and expects that this will be the final amendment to the original Schedule 13D
filing and an exit filing for the Reporting Person.
This Amendment No. 6 amends Items 2, 4 and 5 of Schedule 13D as set forth below. All
disclosure for items contained in the Schedule 13D where no new information is provided in this
Amendment No. 6 is incorporated herein by reference.

On May 19, 2010, Mr. Ridley converted 250,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock into Common
Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Issuer. After giving effect to this transaction,
Mr. Ridley owned approximately 3.75% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Mr. Ridley
may dispose of additional shares of Class A Common Stock, and any shares of Common Stock received
upon conversion of Class A Common Stock, from time to time, based on market conditions and the
objectives of his financial planning, and he expects to dispose of the 250,000 shares of Common
Stock received from the conversion over the next several months.

approximately 3.75% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer.
(b) Mr. Ridley possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to 142,742 shares of
Class A Common Stock, and shared voting and investment powers with respect to 1,860 shares of Class
A Common Stock. The following information is provided with respect to shares as to which Mr. Ridley
shares voting and or dispositive power: 1,860 shares of Class A Common Stock are owned of record
by Eleanor Horsey Ridley, wife of Clarence H. Ridley, with respect to which Mr. Ridley shares
