This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D relates to the common stock (the “Common Stock”) of RH (the “Issuer”), and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on February 14, 2018 (as amended on December 12, 2019, October 21, 2020, April 4, 2022 and September 12, 2022), as specifically set forth herein.

 

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Mr. Friedman holds the shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D for general investment purposes and retains the right to change his investment intent. Mr. Friedman may acquire additional shares of Common Stock for cash or as compensation, may otherwise acquire or dispose of shares of Common Stock in the future, or may engage in discussions with the Issuer concerning investments in the Issuer.

 

On December 8, 2022, the Issuer announced Mr. Friedman’s intention to sell approximately 0.7 million shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of approximately 1.0 million options that would be expiring in connection with the ten-year anniversary of the grant date of July 2013 (the “July 2013 Grant”) and to use the sale proceeds to fund the option exercise and satisfy the resulting tax obligations.

 

Mr. Friedman has completed the sale of the shares of Common Stock referenced in such announcement. In particular, Mr. Friedman has (i) exercised all of the options granted to him in connection with the July 2013 Grant, representing an aggregate issuance to him of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “July 2013 Options”), and (ii) completed the sale of 675,095 shares of Common Stock resulting from the option exercise in order to pay the exercise price for the July 2013 Options and satisfy the corresponding tax obligations related to the exercise of such July 2013 Options.

 

Mr. Friedman has retained ownership of the remaining 324,905 shares of Common Stock resulting from his exercise of the July 2013 Options.

 

Other than as described herein, Mr. Friedman has no current plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a) Mr. Friedman beneficially owns 5,005,063 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing beneficial ownership of 19.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding based upon 24,617,088 shares of Common Stock currently outstanding, consisting of (i) 3,305,063 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 1,700,000 shares subject to options to purchase Common Stock exercisable within 60 days of December 15, 2022.

 

(b) Mr. Friedman has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock that he owns.

 

 

 

 

CUSIP No.74967X 103   Page 4 of 5

 

(c) With respect to transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock during the sixty (60) days preceding the date of this filing, no transactions in the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer have been effected by Mr. Friedman in the last sixty (60) days except as follows:

 

Over the time period of December 12, 2022 through December 14, 2022, Mr. Friedman has (i) exercised all of the options granted to him in connection with the July 2013 Grant, representing an aggregate issuance to him of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) completed the sale of 675,095 shares of Common Stock at an average net price per share of $259.8573. The number of shares sold was determined based upon the weighted average sale price per share achieved for the shares in order to provide sufficient funds to (i) pay the exercise price for the July 2013 Options and (ii) satisfy the corresponding tax obligations related to the exercise of such July 2013 Options.

 

The weighted average price per share, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses for the sales made between December 12, 2022 and December 14, 2022 are as set forth below:

 

Date     Shares Sold     Average Price     Sale Price Range  
December 12, 2022       216,641     $ 252.3569     $248.2500 - $266.5450  
December 13, 2022       271,254     $ 263.7152     $258.1100 - $266.0550  
December 14, 2022       187,200     $ 262.9470     $258.7100 – $265.3200
