### HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
The SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or annual report, as applicable, addressed to those stockholders. As permitted by the Exchange Act, only one copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus is being delivered to Compass stockholders residing at the same address and only one copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus is being delivered to Anywhere stockholders residing at the same address, unless such stockholders or stockholders, as applicable, have notified Compass or Anywhere, as applicable, of their desire to receive multiple copies of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate joint proxy statement/prospectus, or if you are receiving multiple copies of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and wish to receive only one, please contact Compass or Anywhere, as applicable, at the respective address identified below. Compass or Anywhere, as applicable, will promptly deliver, upon oral or written request, a separate copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to any stockholder residing at an address to which only one copy was mailed. Requests for additional copies should be directed, as applicable, to:
