#### Shares Held in Street Name
If your shares of Anywhere common stock are held in an account at a bank, broker or other nominee holder of record (i.e., in “street name”), you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote the shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by the bank, broker or other nominee. You may also vote shares held in street name by returning an Anywhere proxy card via mail or by voting virtually at the Anywhere special meeting. Further, banks, brokers or other nominees who hold shares of Anywhere common stock on behalf of their customers may not give a proxy to Anywhere to vote those shares with respect to the Anywhere merger proposal, the Anywhere non-binding compensation advisory proposal and the Anywhere adjournment proposal without specific instructions from their customers, as banks, brokers and other nominees do not have discretionary voting power on these “non-routine” matters. Broker non-votes occur when a broker or nominee is not instructed by the beneficial owner of shares to vote on a particular proposal for which the broker does not have discretionary voting power.

Therefore, if you are an Anywhere stockholder and you do not instruct your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your bank, broker or other nominee may not vote your shares on the Anywhere merger proposal, the Anywhere non-binding compensation advisory proposal and the Anywhere adjournment proposal, which broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the vote
