Havertys Sets Dividend, Stock Repurchase and Promotions

Havertys (NYSE: HVT) (NYSE: HVT.A) has set a cash dividend to be paid on the outstanding shares of the two classes of common stock.

The rates are $0.10 per share on the common stock and $0.095 per share on the Class A common stock. The dividend is payable Friday, Dec. 11 to stockholders of record at the close of business on Wednesday, Nov. 25.

In addition to the dividends, Havertys’ board approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to $10 million of common stock and Class A common stock. The retailer has a remaining authorization to buy about $1.3 million under a previously approved program. Shares may be repurchased, at the company’s discretion, from time-to-time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
