Reservoir Media, Inc.

Suite 801
New York, NY 10014
Dear Members of the Board of Directors:
We are
pleased to submit on behalf of Richmond Hill Investment Co., LP (“Richmond
Hill”) and Wesbild, Inc. (“Wesbild” and together with Richmond Hill, the
“Investors” or “we”) this non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to acquire all
of the outstanding shares of common stock of Reservoir Media, Inc. (“Reservoir”
or the “Company”) not already owned by Richmond Hill or Wesbild at a cash
purchase price of $10.50 per share. The
offer price represents a premium
of approximately 39% over the closing price on February
25, 2026, the trading day immediately prior to the day that the
Company’s receipt of an unsolicited acquisition offer was first publicly
reported, and approximately 41% over the 90-day volume-weighted average trading
price (through February 25, 2026), of the Company’s common stock.
Our proposal
offers the Company’s stockholders that are not the Investors or certain of
their affiliates an opportunity to derisk their investment at a compelling
valuation, providing an attractive liquidity option and certainty of full and fair value. At the proposed purchase
price, the implied
enterprise value to EBITDA multiple (based upon the midpoint of the
Company’s publicly disclosed guidance for the fiscal year ending 2026) is
approximately 15.6x, a material premium to the trading multiple of comparable
companies.
Wesbild, together with its affiliates, beneficially owns approximately 44% of the outstanding shares
of common stock of the Company, and we are highly confident that certain other significant stockholders of
the Company will be supportive of the transaction.
Richmond Hill intends
to obtain the requisite financing with respect to the transaction and, based on feedback
received from premier institutional investors, we expect that such financing can be obtained
promptly. The proposed transaction would not be subject
to any financing contingency or condition.
We expect
that the Board will form a special committee of independent and disinterested
directors (the “Special Committee”) of the Board which will be fully empowered to review and accept or reject this Proposal or any
other proposal we or any unaffiliated third
party may make.
The Investors expect
that the Special
Committee will select and engage independent legal and financial
advisors to advise it in connection with the Proposal. The Investors will not move forward with the Proposal unless it
is approved by such a Special Committee.
Please know that we are interested only in acquiring the outstanding common
stock of the Company that the
Investors or certain of their affiliates do not already own. At this time,
neither Richmond Hill nor Wesbild is interested in selling shares in the
Company to a third party.
Richmond Hill and Wesbild
will promptly satisfy
their legal obligations to amend their
current Schedule 13D filings with respect to the Company,
and will include a copy of this letter as an exhibit. None of the "reporting persons" identified in such
Schedule 13D amendment other than Richmond Hill and Wesbild are to be
considered "Investors" as defined herein.
The Investors reserve the right
to withdraw or modify this Proposal until
such time as definitive agreements are entered into between the
Company, Richmond Hill and Wesbild.
Richmond Hill has retained
Chapman and Cutler
LLP and Wesbild
has retained Kirkland
& Ellis LLP as
legal advisors in this matter.
We look forward to working
with the Special Committee and its advisors to expeditiously negotiate and
consummate a mutually acceptable transaction. We are available at your convenience to discuss any aspects of our
Proposal and this important transaction.
Sincerely,
| /s/ Ryan P. Taylor
