This Amendment No. 1 (the Amendment) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on November 19, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by Sears Holdings Corporation (Sears Holdings), a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the Schedule 13D).
This Amendment is filed with respect to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Shares), of Restoration Hardware, Inc. (Issuer), and is filed to reflect information required by Rule 13d-2 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), with respect to the Shares. The principal executive office of the Issuer is located at 15 Koch Road, Suite J, Corte Madera, California 95925.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby supplemented and amended by the insertion of the following after the second paragraph thereof:
On November 23, 2007, Sears Holdings sent a letter to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the November 23 Letter) providing the Special Committee, at its request, with a proposal to offer holders of Shares of the Issuer $6.75 per Share in cash via a tender offer, subject to the terms set forth in the November 23 Letter. The November 23 Letter also stated that Sears Holdings would contemplate entering into a merger agreement on terms substantially similar to the Home Merger Agreement (as defined in the Schedule 13D), modified as necessary to accommodate a tender offer structure and with a lower, more reasonable break-up fee than contained in the Home Merger Agreement. The November 23 Letter also reiterated Sears Holdings request to the Issuer to enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Issuer on terms permissible under the Home Merger Agreement and indicated Sears Holdings willingness to agree to a customary standstill provision in such confidentiality agreement, subject to an exception which would enable Sears Holdings to commence a tender offer for all of the Shares only at a price greater than that offered pursuant to the Home Merger Agreement. After sending the November 23 letter, representatives of Sears Holdings and the financial advisor for the Issuer and counsel to Sears Holdings and counsel to the Issuer and counsel to the Special Committee engaged in discussions about the confidentiality agreement and Sears Holdings proposal. On Sunday, November 25, 2007, the Special Committee informed Sears Holdings that it was unwilling to enter into a confidentiality agreement providing for the superior tender offer exception sought by Sears Holdings. A copy of the November 23 Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits
Item 7 is hereby amended to include the following exhibit, attached hereto:
Exhibit 1 Letter from Sears Holdings to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Issuer, dated November 23, 2007
