available to Goldman Sachs and the Anywhere Board and financial projections prepared by Compass management were made available to Morgan Stanley and the Compass Board, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, as described in this section below. The financial projections are included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus solely to give Anywhere stockholders and Compass stockholders access to the information that was made available to Anywhere, Compass and their respective boards of directors and financial advisors in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger. These financial projections are not included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus to influence any Anywhere stockholder or Compass stockholder as to how to vote at the respective special meetings with respect to the merger.

In connection with Anywhere’s evaluation of strategic alternatives, including the continued execution of Anywhere’s strategy as a standalone public company or a potential strategic transaction between Anywhere and Compass, Anywhere management prepared certain unaudited non-public prospective financial information of Anywhere, on a standalone basis without giving effect to a potential transaction, for fiscal years 2025 through 2027 (which we refer to as the “Anywhere Projections”).

In addition, Anywhere’s management prepared certain prospective financial information regarding the combined company on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the merger (referred to as the “Anywhere Combined Company Projections”), which (i) included prospective implied synergies projected by Anywhere management to result from the merger and (ii) incorporated portions of the Compass Projections.

The Anywhere Projections and Anywhere Combined Company Projections were provided to the Anywhere Board in connection with its evaluation of the merger and were provided to Goldman Sachs and approved by Anywhere management for Goldman Sachs’s use
