On April 12, 2016, Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc.

In connection with the transaction, Peter Sallick and Ralph Bennett (Waterworks President) have agreed to invest in continuing equity interests in the Waterworks business, which creates additional incentives for management to continue to drive growth and profitability of the business in future periods.
The transaction is valued at approximately $117 million, which is subject to changes in working capital and other adjustments, and will be funded from the Company’s existing cash balances.

The Company expects the transaction to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.
On April 12, 2016, the Company issued a press release in connection with the transaction. The full text of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1
