 the Anywhere special meeting?

A: The Anywhere record date for the Anywhere special meeting (the close of business on December 12, 2025) is earlier than the date of the Anywhere special meeting and earlier than the date that the merger is expected to be completed. If you sell or otherwise transfer your shares of Anywhere common stock after the Anywhere record date but before the date of the Anywhere special meeting, you will retain your right to vote at the Anywhere special meeting. However, you will not have the right to receive the merger consideration. In order to receive such merger consideration, you must hold your shares through completion of the merger.

Q: Are there any risks that I should consider in deciding whether to vote in favor of the Compass share issuance proposal or the Anywhere merger proposal, or the other proposals to be considered at the Compass special meeting or the Anywhere special meeting, as applicable?

A: Yes. You should read and carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 30 . You also should read and carefully consider the risk factors of Compass and Anywhere contained in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Q: Whom should I contact if I have any questions about the proxy materials or voting?

A: If you have any questions about the proxy materials, or if you need assistance submitting your proxy or voting your shares or need additional copies of this joint proxy statement/prospectus or the enclosed Compass proxy card or Anywhere proxy card, as applicable, you should contact Compass, at 110 Fifth Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10011, (646) 982-0353 or by email at corporatesecretary@compass.com, or Sodali & Co., the proxy solicitation agent for Anywhere, at (800) 662-5200 or by email at HOUS@investor.sodali.com, as applicable.
