 interests in the merger that may differ from those of Compass stockholders or Anywhere stockholders?

A: Certain of Anywhere’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Anywhere stockholders generally. These interests may include, among others, the treatment of Anywhere equity awards pursuant to the merger agreement, the receipt of severance payments and benefits, and the acceleration of vesting and lapse of forfeiture conditions with respect to Anywhere equity and other incentive awards upon a severance-qualifying termination of employment within a specified period following a change in control of Anywhere. The Anywhere Board was aware of the interests of Anywhere’s directors and executive officers, and the Anywhere Board considered such interests, among other matters, when it approved the merger agreement and in making its recommendations to its stockholders. For more information regarding these interests, see the section entitled “The Merger—Interests of Anywhere’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”
