Following the merger, Anywhere common stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (which we refer to as the “NYSE”) and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Compass (which we refer to as the “Compass Class A common stock”) is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “COMP.” The common stock of Anywhere is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “HOUS.”

If the merger is completed, each share of Anywhere common stock, par value $0.01 per share (which we refer to as “Anywhere common stock”), issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (which we refer to as the “effective time”) (other than any shares of Anywhere common stock that are owned (i) directly or indirectly, by Anywhere or by Compass or Merger Sub, or (ii) by any direct or indirect subsidiary of either Anywhere or Compass, other than Merger Sub) will be converted into the right to receive 1.436 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Compass Class A common stock (with, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares, less any applicable withholding taxes) (which we collectively refer to as the “merger consideration”).

We cannot predict the amount of any change in value, as the market price of shares of Compass Class A common stock may fluctuate based on the perceived values of the Class A common stock of Compass in anticipation of the merger, and it may not be possible to estimate the market value of Compass Class A common stock.

Based on the number of shares of Anywhere common stock outstanding as of November 25, 2025, Compass expects to issue approximately 161,019,679 shares of Compass Class A common stock to holders of Anywhere common stock in the merger. Based on the number of
