Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Shareholder Meeting to be Held on June 27, 2024 (the "Annual Meeting"): The Company's 2024 Notice and Proxy Statement, its fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its proxy card are available for review online at www.proxyvote.com

RH SHAREHOLDER,

We are holding the Annual Meeting for the following purposes, which are more fully described in the proxy statement:

  1. To elect the three nominees named in the proxy statement to our Board of Directors;
  2. To vote, on an advisory basis, on our named executive officer compensation;
  3. To ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2025; and
  4. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 3, 2024 are entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. A list of shareholders entitled to vote will be available for inspection at our offices for ten days prior to the Annual Meeting. If you would like to view this shareholder list, please contact the Corporate Secretary at (415) 945-4998.

We intend to hold our Annual Meeting in person. However, in the event we determine it is not possible or advisable to hold our Annual Meeting in person, we will announce alternative arrangements for the meeting as promptly as practicable, which may include holding the meeting solely by means of remote communication. If we take this step, we will announce the decision to do so via a press release and details about how to participate will be posted on our website and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as additional proxy materials. Please monitor our website at ir.rh.com for updated information.

As always, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the Annual Meeting. Each share of stock that you own represents one vote, and your vote as a shareholder of RH is very important. For questions regarding your stock ownership, you may contact the Corporate Secretary at (415) 945-4998 or, if you are a registered holder, our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, by email through their website at www.computershare.com/contactus or by phone at (800) 962-4284 (within the U.S. and Canada) or (781) 575-3120 (outside the U.S. and Canada).

The Board of Directors has approved the proposals described in the accompanying proxy statement and recommends that you vote "FOR" the election of all nominees for director (Proposal 1), "FOR" the non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 2), and "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (Proposal 3).

By order of the Board of Directors,

Gary Friedman

Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

Your Vote Is Important. Instructions for submitting your proxy are provided in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, the proxy statement and your proxy card.

You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to its exercise at the Annual Meeting.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY

INFORMATION ABOUT SOLICITATION AND VOTING

The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of RH (the "Company") for use at the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the Company's headquarters located at 15 Koch Road, Corte Madera, CA 94925 on June 27, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. (Pacific Time), and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

On or about May 17, 2024, we will mail to our shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") containing instructions on how to access our 2024 Notice and Proxy Statement and our fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 28, 2024 (the "Annual Report") via the Internet and how to vote online. The Notice also contains instructions on how you can receive a paper copy of the proxy materials. Our Annual Report, the Notice and our proxy card are first being made available online on or about May 17, 2024.

ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

At our Annual Meeting, shareholders will vote upon the three proposals described in this proxy statement.

Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

In accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, we are furnishing the proxy materials to our shareholders over the Internet. Accordingly, on or about May 17, 2024, the Company will mail the Notice to the Company's shareholders, other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery. If you received the Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials. Instead, the Notice will instruct you as to how you may access and review the proxy materials and submit your vote on the Internet or by telephone. If you received the Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of the proxy materials, please follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice. On the date of mailing of the Notice, all shareholders will have the ability to access all of our proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice. These proxy materials will be available free of charge. We encourage shareholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the cost of the physical printing and mailing of materials.

What proposals are scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

Shareholders will be asked to vote on the following three proposals:

  1. The election to our Board of Directors of the three nominees named in this proxy statement;
  2. The approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of our named executive officer compensation; and
  3. The ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2025 ("fiscal 2024").

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 3

What is the recommendation of the Board of Directors on each of the proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote:

FOR each of the nominees to the Board of Directors (Proposal 1);

FOR the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of our named executive officer compensation (Proposal 2); and

FOR the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2024 (Proposal 3).

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

Our bylaws require that we receive advance notice of any proposal to be brought before the Annual Meeting by shareholders of the Company. As of the date of this proxy statement, there are no other matters that the Board of Directors intends to present for action at the Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this proxy statement.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Shareholders as of the record date for the Annual Meeting, the close of business on May 3, 2024 (the "Record Date"), are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 18,342,797 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Shareholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If, as of the close of business on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, then you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares.

As a shareholder of record, you may vote at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, we urge you to vote over the Internet or by telephone, or by filling out and returning the proxy card.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Nominee

If, as of the close of business on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account with a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of the shares held in street name. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account, and your nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing it on how to vote your shares. However, the organization that holds your shares is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. Because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from the organization that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote?

If you are a shareholder of record, you may:

VOTE IN PERSON-we will provide a ballot to shareholders who attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person;

VOTE BY MAIL-simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card, then follow the instructions on the card; or

VOTE VIA THE INTERNET or VIA TELEPHONE-follow the instructions on the Notice or proxy card and have the Notice or proxy card available when you access the Internet or place your telephone call.

Votes submitted via the Internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 26, 2024. Submitting your proxy, whether via the Internet, by telephone or by mail, will not affect your right to vote at the Annual Meeting should you decide to attend the meeting.

4 | 2024 PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

If you are not a shareholder of record, please refer to the voting instructions provided by your nominee to direct it how to vote your shares.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure that your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting if you have already voted by proxy.

What if I return my proxy card directly to the Company, but do not provide voting instructions?

If a signed proxy card is returned to us without any indication of how your shares should be voted on a particular proposal at the meeting, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors stated above. For example, if you return a signed proxy card with no indication of your vote on any of the proposals, your votes will be cast "FOR" the election of the three director nominees named in this proxy statement, "FOR" the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers, and "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2024.

If you hold your shares in street name and do not vote, and your broker does not have discretionary power to vote your shares, your shares may constitute "broker non-votes" (as described below) and may not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval of a proposal. However, shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum for the Annual Meeting. Voting results will be tabulated and certified by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting.

What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

A majority of our outstanding shares as of the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. This presence is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you are present and vote in person at the meeting or if you have properly submitted a proxy. Additionally, abstentions, broker non-votes and "WITHHOLD" votes (as described below) will also be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the chair of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting until a later date.

How are abstentions, broker non-votes and "WITHHOLD" votes treated?

Abstentions (i.e., shares present at the meeting and voted "abstain") are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. In determining whether a proposal received the requisite number of affirmative votes, abstentions are not considered votes cast and will have no effect on the proposal. As a result, abstentions will have no impact on the non-binding advisory vote on our named executive officer compensation (Proposal 2), or the ratification of appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 3).

Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. In determining whether a proposal received the requisite number of affirmative votes, broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and will have no effect on the proposal. Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted because (i) the broker did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, and (ii) the broker lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares. Brokers that have not received voting instructions from their clients cannot vote on their clients' behalf with respect to "non-routine" proposals but may vote their clients' shares on "routine" proposals. As a result, broker non-votes will have no impact on "non-routine" proposals, including the approval of the election of directors (Proposal 1), and the non-binding advisory vote on our named executive officer compensation (Proposal 2).

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

2024 PROXY STATEMENT | 5

Note that if you are a beneficial holder and do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, the broker that holds your shares will not be authorized to vote on "non-routine" items, including the election of directors (Proposal 1), or the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, or of our named executive officer compensation (Proposal 2). Ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2024 (Proposal 3) is considered to be a "routine" matter and, accordingly, if you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account for Proposal 3, brokers will be permitted to exercise their discretionary authority to vote for the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

"WITHHOLD" votes will also be counted towards the quorum requirement and will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors (Proposal 1) because the election of directors is based on the votes actually cast.

What is the vote required for each proposal?

The votes required to approve each proposal are as follows:

Proposal 1. Shareholders' choices for Proposal 1 (Election of Directors) are limited to "FOR" and "WITHHOLD." A plurality of the votes cast, whether in person or by proxy, is required to elect each of the three nominees for director described under Proposal 1. Under plurality voting, the three nominees receiving the largest number of votes cast (votes "FOR") will be elected. You may vote for all the director nominees, withhold authority to vote your shares for all the director nominees or withhold authority to vote your shares with respect to any one or more of the director nominees. Withholding authority to vote your shares with respect to one or more director nominees will have no effect on the election of those nominees. Because the election of directors under Proposal 1 is considered to be a non-routine matter under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), if you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account for Proposal 1, brokers will not be permitted to exercise their voting authority and uninstructed shares may constitute broker non-votes. "WITHHOLD" votes and broker non- votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1 because the election of directors is based on the votes actually cast.

Proposal 2. Proposal 2 is a non-binding advisory vote. Therefore, our Board of Directors will consider our named executive officer compensation described under Proposal 2 (Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation) to be approved if the proposal receives the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast, whether in person or by proxy. Because the advisory vote under Proposal 2 is considered to be a non-routine matter under the rules of the NYSE, if you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account for Proposal 2, brokers will not be permitted to exercise their voting authority and uninstructed shares may constitute broker non- votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 2 because the advisory vote is based on the votes actually cast.

Proposal 3. The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast, whether in person or by proxy, is required to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2024 described under Proposal 3 (Ratification of Appointment of Registered Independent Public Accounting Firm). Proposal 3 is considered to be a "routine" matter under the rules of the NYSE and, accordingly, if you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account for Proposal 3, brokers will be permitted to exercise their discretionary authority to vote for the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 3 because the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm is based on the votes actually cast.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?

The Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to use the Internet to:

View the Company's proxy materials for the Annual Meeting; and

Instruct the Company to send future proxy materials to you by email.

The Company's proxy materials are available at ir.rh.com. This website address is included for reference only. The information contained on the Company's website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save the Company the cost of printing and mailing documents to you. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email message next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting website. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

The Company is paying the costs of the solicitation of proxies. Proxies may be solicited on behalf of the Company by our directors, officers, team members (we refer to our employees as "team members") or agents in person or by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means. We will also reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries, upon request, for their reasonable expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners of our common stock. We have retained the services of Alliance Advisors LLC ("Alliance") to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of approximately $28,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We may engage Alliance for additional solicitation work and incur fees greater than $28,000 depending on a variety of factors, including preliminary voting results and recommendations from Institutional Shareholder Services. As part of its engagement agreement, the Company has also agreed to certain indemnification provisions with Alliance.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

How can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the meeting by:

Delivering to the Corporate Secretary of the Company (by any means, including facsimile) a written notice stating that the proxy is revoked;

Signing and delivering a proxy bearing a later date;

Voting again over the Internet or by telephone; or

Attending and voting at the Annual Meeting (although attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).

Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to revoke a proxy, you must contact that firm to revoke any prior voting instructions.

Where can I find the voting results?

The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of elections and filed with the SEC in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the Annual Meeting.
