(the "Issuer"), with respect to the Issuer's $1.00 par value Class A common stock (the "Class A Common Stock"). Item 1. Security and Insurer. This filing relates to shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, whose principal executive offices are located at 866 West Peachtree Street, N.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30308. Item 2. Identity and Background. This Schedule 13D is filed by Rawson Haverty, an individual whose business address is 866 West Peachtree Street, N.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30308. Mr. Haverty is Chairman of the Board of the Issuer. Mr. Haverty 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 a 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. Haverty is a citizen of the United States. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration The securities which are the subject of this filing were originally acquired by Mr. Haverty pursuant to a recapitalization of the Issuer on April 25, 1986, whereby the then outstanding common stock of the Issuer automatically converted into a new class of $1.00 par value common stock ("Common Stock"), and shares of newly authorized Class A Common Stock were distributed to stockholders on May 23, 1986 by way of a 100% stock dividend declared on the outstanding Common Stock and paid in shares of Class A Common Stock. As a result of the recapitalization, each stockholder received a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder on the record date for payment of the stock dividend. In June 1986, Mr. Haverty, together with certain other stockholders of the Issuer, conducted an exchange offer with certain offeree stockholders of the Issuer, whereby the offering stockholders offered to exchange shares of Common Stock owned by them for shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Issuer owned by the offeree stockholders. The offering stockholders, all of whom were officers and/or directors of the Issuer at the time, or members of their immediate families and related interests, conducted the exchange offer with a group of offeree stockholders which was principally comprised of non-management members of the Haverty family (descendants Page 3 of 7 Pages 4 of the Issuer's founder, J. J. Haverty) or former executive officers and directors of the Issuer and their spouses, widows and children. Since the recapitalization and exchange offer, Mr. Haverty's beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock has changed due to various factors, including personal transactions by Mr. Haverty, such as gifts, sales, purchases, and exercises of stock options. In addition, Mr. Haverty's beneficial ownership of the Class A Common Stock has changed due to changes in the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, which number has decreased since the filing of the last amendment (Amendment No. 7) to this Schedule 13D. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Since the filing of the last amendment to this Schedule 13D, Mr. Haverty's beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock has increased due to a change in the number of outstanding shares of such class, as well as certain personal transactions effected by Mr. Haverty, including the acquisition of shares through purchases and receipt of shares in payment of director's retainer fees. As of March 31, 1998, Mr. Haverty owned approximately 26.25% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Mr. Haverty is Chairman of the Board of the Issuer and is Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, and thus is a member of senior management of the Issuer. Item 5. Interest of Securities of the Issuer. (a) As of March 31, 1998, Mr. Haverty beneficially owned an aggregate of 742,777 shares, or approximately 26.25% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer.
