RE/MAX Stockholders Approach Key Decision Point in Pending Real Brokerage Acquisition

According to the filing, RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RMAX), a Delaware-incorporated franchisor of real estate brokerage networks headquartered at 5075 South Syracuse Street, Denver, Colorado 80237, and The Real Brokerage Inc. jointly announced through a press release the upcoming consideration election deadline tied to the proposed merger. The filing states that holders of RMAX Class A common stock, which carries a par value of $0.0001 per share, must elect the form of consideration they wish to receive in connection with the pending acquisition by the deadline of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on August 18, 2026.

The filing notes that stockholders who hold shares through an intermediary such as a bank, broker, or other nominee may be subject to an earlier election deadline, determined by the instructions of that intermediary rather than the record-date deadline stated above. The joint press release issued on August 4, 2026 was attached to the filing as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference. The filing identifies the transaction as a pending acquisition governed by a Merger Agreement and discloses that closing remains subject to conditions including receipt of required regulatory approvals and approval by shareholders of both companies.

The filing contains forward-looking statements, which RE/MAX and Real have identified as their own and subject to their cautionary language. Among the risks cited in connection with those statements are the ability to consummate the transaction on the expected timeline, the possibility that regulatory approvals may not be obtained or may be conditioned, disruption from transaction-related matters, and risks relating to agent and franchisee retention during the pendency of the deal. The filing states that these risks "are more fully discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus that is included in the Registration Statement" filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction.
