Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On January 13, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), Compass, Inc. ("Compass" or the "Company") closed its previously announced merger transaction (the "Transaction") contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated November 25, 2024, by and among the Company, Compass Brokerage, LLC, Company Merger Sub, LLC, At World Properties Holdings, LLC, known as @properties Christie's International Real Estate ("Christie's International Real Estate"), At World Properties Principals Blocker, Inc. ("Principals Blocker"), At World Properties IX Blocker, Inc. ("IX Blocker"), Apple IX Blocker Merger Sub, Inc., Apple Principals Blocker Merger Sub, Inc., and Quad-C LLC, as seller representative. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of each of Principals Blocker, IX Blocker and Christie's International Real Estate and each of Principals Blocker, IX Blocker and Christie's International Real Estate became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The aggregate consideration ("Total Consideration") payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement consisted of (i) $150 million (the "Cash Consideration"), subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments and (ii) 44,136,191 shares of the Company's Class A common stock (the "Share Consideration"). The Share Consideration is subject to further adjustment (the "Share Consideration Adjustment") if the value of the Share Consideration on the 366th day following the Closing Date, determined using the price per share equal to the volume-weighted average price of the Company's Class A common stock for the 10-trading day period ending on the 366th day following the Closing Date (the "Post-Closing Share Price"), is (i) greater than $344 million, in which case the Share Consideration will be reduced by a number of shares in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million (determined using the Post-Closing Share Price) or (ii) less than $344 million, in which case the Share Consideration will be increased by a number of shares in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million (determined using the greater of $6.6612 and the Post-Closing Share Price).
On the Closing Date, the Company deposited the Cash Consideration, after certain customary purchase price adjustments and an adjustment for an escrow deposit (the "Escrow Deposit"), into an escrow account in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The Escrow Deposit will serve as the Company's sole recourse for any adjustments to the Cash Consideration pursuant to the post-closing adjustment process as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Share Consideration, subject to the Share Consideration Adjustment, will be issued as soon as reasonably practicable after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date or as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Consistent with the Company's previously stated intention set forth in the Company's Investor Presentation attached as Exhibit 99.2 to the December Form 8-K (as defined below), the Company funded the closing of the Transaction primarily through cash on hand and secondarily through borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.
The material terms of the Merger Agreement were previously reported in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 2, 2024 (the "December Form 8-K") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Transaction contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 2.1 to the December Form 8-K, and is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
