 merger pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement could delay or prevent Anywhere from undertaking business opportunities that may arise, or from undertaking any other action it would otherwise take with respect to the operations of Anywhere absent the pending completion of the merger.

• Potential litigation: The potential for litigation challenging the merger, which, even where lacking in merit, could nonetheless result in distraction and expense.

• Other risks: The other risks described under the sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Anywhere Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the Anywhere Board. In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, the Anywhere Board did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The Anywhere Board considered all these factors as a whole, including through its discussions with Anywhere management and financial, legal and other advisors, in evaluating the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger.

For the reasons above, the Anywhere Board unanimously (i) determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, are fair to, and in the best interests of, Anywhere and the holders of Anywhere common stock, (ii) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger and (iii) resolved to recommend that the holders of Anywhere common stock approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, and directed that such matter be submitted for consideration to holders of Anywhere common stock.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the Anywhere Board was aware of and considered that certain directors and executive officers of Anywhere may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, Anywhere stockholders generally, including those interests that are a result of employment and compensation arrangements with Anywhere. For more information, see the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger—Interests of Anywhere’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”
