Item 5.07 Submission
of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
(a) On May 9, 2022, Havertys held its annual meeting of stockholders. In the election of directors, the holders of shares of Class A common
stock and common stock vote as separate classes in accordance with the Company's Charter. For all other matters, the holders of shares of common stock and Class A common stock vote together as a single class and holders of common stock are
entitled to one vote for each share of stock and holders of Class A common stock are entitled to ten votes for each share of stock. At the meeting of stockholders, a plurality of votes is required in the election of each class of directors
and for all other matters approval requires an affirmative vote of a combined majority of the votes cast.
(b) Represented at the meeting in person or by proxy were 1,143,760 shares of Class A common stock, or approximately 89% of eligible Class A common stock, and 13,928,641 shares of common stock, or
approximately 88% of eligible common stock shares.
The final voting results for each proposal, each of which is described in greater detail in Havertys' definitive proxy statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2022, follow below:
