The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX) (“Real”) announced today that it has filed its notice of meeting, management information circular (the “Circular”) and related documents (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) with securities regulators in connection with the special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders (“Shareholders”) of common shares of Real (“Shares”), the holders (“Optionholders”) of options to purchase Shares (“Options”) and the holders (“RSU Holders”, and together with the Shareholders and Optionholders, “Securityholders”) of restricted share units of Real (“RSUs”). The Meeting Materials are being mailed to Securityholders and can also be accessed on Real’s website at www.onereal.com in the Investors-Events & Presentations section and on Real’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Meeting Details

The Meeting will be held virtually on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/REAXSPECIAL2026. Only Securityholders of record as of the close of business on June 29, 2026, the record date for the Meeting, are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at, the Meeting.

At the Meeting, Securityholders will be asked to pass a special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) approving an arrangement (the “Arrangement”) involving Real, Rome Wildlife, Inc. (“New Wildlife”) and 1587802 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company (“Bidco”), whereby (i) the issued and outstanding Shares will be consolidated on a 10-for-1 basis (the “Share Consolidation”), (ii) Shareholders will then transfer all of their resulting Shares to Bidco for shares of common stock of New Wildlife (“New Wildlife Common Stock”) on a one-for-one basis, such that Real will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Bidco, and (iii) taking into account the Share Consolidation, all of the outstanding Options and RSUs will be exchanged for replacement options and restricted share units of New Wildlife and cancelled, all in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 26, 2026, among Real, RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (“REMAX”), New Wildlife, Wildlife Acquisition I Corp. (“Merger Sub I”), Wildlife Acquisition II LLC (“Merger Sub II”) and Bidco, as amended on June 12, 2026 (as may be further amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”).

Following the effectiveness of the Arrangement, Merger Sub I will merge with and into REMAX (the “First Merger”), with REMAX surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Wildlife, and then REMAX will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Wildlife. Pursuant to the First Merger, each share of Class A common stock of REMAX issued and outstanding immediately prior to effective time of the First Merger (including shares of Class A common stock of REMAX issued in connection with the Rhino Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and other than certain shares as described in the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to elect to receive either 5.150 (to be adjusted prior to the effective time of the First Merger to reflect the Share Consolidation by dividing 5.150 by 10) shares of New Wildlife Common Stock or $13.80 in cash, subject to proration such that the aggregate cash proceeds to be delivered to the REMAX stockholders who make an election to receive cash pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be no less than $60 million and no greater than $80 million (the “Merger Consideration”), as determined pursuant to the election and allocation procedures in the Merger Agreement (all actions and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Arrangement, the Mergers, and the Rhino Merger together, the “Contemplated Transactions”).

As a result of the Contemplated Transactions, Real and REMAX will become wholly owned subsidiaries of New Wildlife, which will be renamed “Real REMAX Group Inc.” concurrently with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

Board Recommendation

After careful consideration, the board of directors of Real (the “Real Board”) unanimously determined, among other things, that (i) the Arrangement and the entering into of the Merger Agreement is in the best interests of Real and that the Arrangement and the Contemplated Transactions (including the Mergers) are fair, from a financial point of view, to Real Securityholders, and (ii) the payment of the Merger Consideration and the issuance of shares of New Wildlife Common Stock by New Wildlife to the holders of shares of REMAX common stock (including shares of REMAX Class A common stock issued in connection with the Rhino Merger) (the “Stock Issuance”) is advisable and in the best interests of Real.

The Real Board unanimously approved, among other things, (i) the entering into of the Merger Agreement, including the Plan of Arrangement, (ii) subject to the approval of Real Securityholders, the Arrangement, and (iii) the Stock Issuance upon closing of the Contemplated Transactions.

The Real Board unanimously recommends that Real Securityholders vote “FOR” the Arrangement Resolution.

For the factors considered by the Real Board in reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement and to recommend the Arrangement Resolution, see the section entitled “The Contemplated Transactions — Recommendation of the Real Board; Real’s Reasons for the Contemplated Transactions,” in the Circular.

Your vote is important. The Real Board unanimously recommends that Securityholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. The deadline for voting by proxy is 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on August 12, 2026.
