Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP Announces Hearing on Shareholder Effort to Enjoin Restoration Hardware Proposed Acqui

  
    
  
  
    
      Marin County Superior Court Judge Lynn O’Malley 
      Taylor has ordered that a hearing be held June 11, 2008 on the effort of 
      shareholders to enjoin the proposed acquisition of Restoration Hardware, 
      Inc. (NASDAQ:RSTO) by an investment group led by CEO Gary Friedman and 
      Catterton Partners. The action alleges breach of fiduciary duty in 
      connection with the decision of the Restoration Hardware board to sell 
      the Company to Friedman and Catterton for $4.50 per share. Sears 
      Holdings had previously indicated it was willing to pay a higher price 
      per share to acquire Restoration Hardware. Shareholders will be asking 
      the Court to enjoin certain contractual provisions that preclude Sears 
      Holdings from taking its proposal directly to Restoration Hardware’s 
      shareholders. Plaintiffs are represented by the law firms of Coughlin 
      Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP and The Weiser Law Firm. For more
