Upon completion of the merger, any clawback that remains applicable to the CEO Special Incentive Award will lapse and any performance goals in respect of any incomplete performance period will be deemed achieved in full. In addition, if the completion of the merger occurred during 2025, the 2025 portion of the award would be subject to (i) accelerated vesting if Mr. Schneider’s employment terminated without cause or due to a resignation for good reason or (ii) pro-rata vesting based on full months of service if Mr. Schneider’s employment terminated due to death or disability.

In addition, Anywhere is party to a Special Performance and Retention Award and Performance and Retention Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Unit Notice of Grant and Award Agreement with Ms. Simonelli, dated as of February 22, 2024 (which we refer to as the “CFO Special Incentive Award”), pursuant to which Anywhere granted Ms. Simonelli a $275,000 cash-based award and $275,000 cash-settled Anywhere RSU Award, subject to her continued employment through February 28, 2026, as well as the achievement of applicable performance goals. Both the cash-based portion and the Anywhere RSU Award portion of the award were paid in the first quarter of 2025 following certification of achievement of the applicable performance goals. Upon completion of the merger, any clawback that remains applicable to the CFO Special Incentive Award will lapse.

#### Retention Program
Anywhere has the right to grant cash retention awards to Anywhere employees, including Mr. Gustavson prior to closing, $7.5 million of which may be allocated to certain senior employees of Anywhere without Compass’ consent, provided that Anywhere must keep Compass informed of retention awards, including allocation of amounts to recipients and material terms. These retention awards are eligible to vest in two equal installments on the date immediately preceding the date that the effective time occurs and on the 12-month anniversary of the date of the effective time, in each case, subject to continued employment or service through the applicable vesting date, or upon an earlier termination of employment without cause or for good reason (for certain employees only) or due to death or disability that occurs on or after the effective time, subject to the employee’s execution of a customary general release of claims satisfactory to Compass. A retention award in the amount of $198,000 has been granted to Mr. Gustavson as of the date of this disclosure
