Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, may have changed since September 22, 2025. You should not rely on the merger agreement representations, warranties, covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts of Compass, Anywhere and Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

#### Structure of the Merger
The merger agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the effective time, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Anywhere in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

As a result of the merger, the surviving corporation will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass.

At the effective time, the merger will have the effects set forth in the merger agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL and all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of Anywhere and Merger Sub will vest in the surviving corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of Anywhere and Merger Sub will become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the surviving corporation.
