This filing shows director Fiona P. Dias disposed of 175,245 shares of Anywhere Real Estate Inc. common stock on January 9, 2026. The transaction code "D" and price of $0.0000 indicate the shares were not sold in the market but were converted in connection with a corporate transaction, leaving her with zero Anywhere shares directly owned.
The footnotes explain that Velocity Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass, Inc., merged with Anywhere, which now survives as a wholly owned Compass subsidiary. Under the merger agreement, each Anywhere share was converted into the right to receive 1.436 Compass class A shares, plus cash instead of fractional shares, and each Anywhere RSU was similarly converted into a Compass RSU based on the same exchange ratio.
For former Anywhere equity holders, this clarifies the mechanics of how their common stock and RSU awards translate into Compass equity at closing. Subsequent company disclosures from Compass will provide the broader financial and strategic context of the combined structure.
