REMAX and Real Remind Stockholders of Deadline to Elect Form of Merger Consideration

Election Deadline for Record Holders is 5:00 p.m. New York City time on August 18, 2026

DENVER, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (“REMAX“) (NYSE: RMAX) and The Real Brokerage Inc. (“Real“) (NASDAQ: REAX) today announced the upcoming deadline for holders of REMAX Class A Common Stock to elect the form of consideration that they wish to receive in the pending acquisition of REMAX by Real, which will create a leading technology-enabled global real estate platform named Real REMAX Group Inc. (the “Transaction“). The upcoming deadline for REMAX stockholders of record is 5:00 p.m. New York City time on August 18, 2026 (the “Election Deadline“). The Election Deadline may be extended, in which case REMAX and Real will issue a press release announcing the new election deadline. No elections will be permitted after the Election Deadline.

REMAX stockholders of record wishing to make an election as to the form of consideration they wish to receive must deliver a properly completed and executed election form, together with all required documents and materials, to Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Exchange Agent“) by the Election Deadline. An election will be valid only if a properly completed and signed election form, together with all required documents and materials set forth in the Election Form and the instructions thereto, is received by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline.

REMAX stockholders who hold shares through a bank, broker or other nominee will receive (or should request) the election form through their bank, broker, or other nominee and may be subject to an earlier election deadline in accordance with the instructions of their bank, broker or other nominee.  REMAX stockholders must carefully review and properly complete any election materials that they receive from their bank, broker or other nominee regarding how to make an election.

REMAX stockholders who, with respect to some or all of their shares of REMAX Class A Common Stock, do not deliver a properly completed and executed election form, together with all required documents and materials, to the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline (or, if applicable, to their bank, broker or other nominee by the deadline set by such bank, broker or other nominee) will be deemed to have elected to have each of those shares converted into the right to receive 5.15 shares of Real REMAX Group Inc. stock (to be adjusted to 0.515 prior to the closing of the transaction to reflect the stock consolidation of Real as contemplated by the Merger Agreement).

The aggregate merger consideration is subject to proration as described in the proxy statement/prospectus that is included in the Registration Statement (as defined below). The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by each company’s shareholders.

REMAX stockholders of record that wish to request an Election Form and accompanying materials (including election revocation materials) or have any questions about how to make an election regarding their merger consideration should contact D.F. King & Co, Inc. at (800) 848-3416 (for holders of REMAX Class A Common Stock) or 646-582-7109 (for banks and brokers) or by email at [email protected]. REMAX stockholders who hold shares through a bank, broker or other nominee should contact their bank, broker or other nominee for assistance making or revoking an election.

REMAX stockholders should carefully read the proxy statement/prospectus, the Election Form and all election materials provided to them or filed by REMAX and Real in connection with the Transaction before making their elections.

The Election Deadline does not alter the deadline for REMAX stockholders to vote on the proposals to be presented for approval at REMAX’s upcoming special meeting of stockholders.
