The financial metrics set forth under “—Anywhere Combined Company Projections” do not reflect reclassification adjustments necessary to conform Anywhere’s accounting policies to Compass’ accounting policies or to conform Anywhere’s historical statement presentation to Compass’ historical financial statement presentation. As more fully described below under “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information—Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” there may be differences between the accounting policies and reclassifications of the two companies which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The Anywhere Projections, Anywhere Combined Company Projections and Compass Projections are referred to collectively as the “Projections.”

#### Certain Limitations on the Projections
Although the information in the Projections is presented with numerical specificity, it reflects numerous estimates and assumptions made by Anywhere and Compass’ respective management teams with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to Anywhere’s and Compass’ businesses, respectively, in each case as of the date it was prepared, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond Anywhere’s and Compass’ control. The Projections are forward-looking statements that should be read with caution. In addition, since the Projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. See the sections of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors,” as well as the risks described in Anywhere’s and Compass’ respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and Anywhere’s and
