Explanation of Responses:
1. Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") repurchased such shares pursuant to its repurchase right under the Company's 2012 Equity Replacement Plan ("Equity Plan") and the applicable award agreement. The repurchased shares were subject to selling restrictions under the Equity Plan. The repurchase price was paid by the Company through the issuance of an unsecured subordinated promissory note to the reporting person. The promissory note has a term of eight years and accrues interest at a rate of 5% per year, with accrued interest payable annually by the Company on the anniversary of the note. The principal amount of the promissory note is payable by the Company at maturity on March 10, 2022.
2. Corresponds to the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the repurchase.
3. By Carlos E. Alberini, as trustee of the Carlos E. Alberini Family Trust, dated November 1, 2012.
4. Disposition exempt under Rule 16b-6(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The shares underlying these options (the "Options") were subject to selling restrictions under the Company's 2012 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"). In connection with the Company's notice electing to repurchase the shares underlying these Options in the event the reporting person exercised these Options, the reporting person elected not to exercise such options and forfeited them on the date indicated herein.
