Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

On April 26, 2026, The Real Brokerage Inc., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Real”), and REMAX Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“REMAX Holdings”), entered into an Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Real, REMAX Holdings, Rome Wildlife, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Real (“New Wildlife”), Wildlife Acquisition I Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Wildlife (“Merger Sub I”), Wildlife Acquisition II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Wildlife (“Merger Sub II”), and 1587802 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, an unlimited liability corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Wildlife (“Bidco”).

 

As explained in greater detail below under “The Mergers and the Arrangement”, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (i) the parties thereto will form a new holding company (New Wildlife) to be re-named Real REMAX Group (referred to herein as “Real REMAX Group”); (ii) shareholders of REMAX Holdings will have the right to elect to receive, for each share of REMAX Class A Common Stock (as defined below), 5.150 shares(1) of Real REMAX Group or $13.80 in cash, subject to proration such that the aggregate cash proceeds to shareholders of REMAX Holdings will be no less than $60 million and no greater than $80 million; and (iii) Real shareholders will receive 1 share(2) of Real REMAX Group for each existing common share of Real (“Real Common Share”). Following the closing of the transaction, Real shareholders are expected to own approximately 59% of the combined company, and REMAX Holdings shareholders are expected to own approximately 41%, assuming the midpoint of available cash consideration to REMAX Holdings shareholders.

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Mergers and the Arrangement

 

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein:

 

(1) Pursuant to an arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and in accordance with the plan of arrangement of Real attached to the Merger Agreement as Exhibit G (the “Plan of Arrangement”), (i) the issued and outstanding Real Common Shares will be consolidated on a 10-for-1 basis (the “Share Consolidation”), such that each ten shares of outstanding Real Common Shares shall be consolidated into one share, and (ii) Real’s shareholders will then transfer all of their Real Common Shares to Bidco in exchange for common shares of Bidco (and $0.0001 per Real Common Share in cash) and then those holders of common shares of Bidco will transfer all of their common shares of Bidco to New Wildlife in exchange for shares of common stock of New Wildlife to be re-named Real REMAX Group (“Real REMAX Group Common Stock”) (collectively, the “Exchange”), such that Real becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bidco.

 

(2) Following the effectiveness of the Arrangement, Merger Sub I will merge with and into REMAX Holdings (the “First Merger”), with REMAX Holdings surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Wildlife, and, as soon as practicable following the First Merger, REMAX Holdings 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. Each share of Class A common stock of REMAX Holdings (the “REMAX Class A Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, including shares of REMAX Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the RIHI Merger, as described below, and other than (x) shares of REMAX Class A Common Stock held by REMAX Holdings as treasury stock or owned by New Wildlife or any subsidiary of New Wildlife or REMAX Holdings, and (y) Dissenting Shares will be converted into the right to elect to receive either 5.150 shares of Real REMAX Group Common Stock (the “Stock Election Exchange Ratio” and such shares, the “Stock Election Consideration”) or $13.80 in cash (the “Per Share Cash Price” and together with the Stock Election Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), subject to proration such that the cash proceeds will be no less than $60 million and no greater than $80 million, as determined pursuant to the election and allocation procedures in the Merger Agreement.

 

 

(1)The Stock Election Exchange Ratio will be adjusted prior to the First Merger Effective Time to reflect the 10-for-1 Share Consolidation by dividing 5.150 by 10.
(2)To be adjusted to reflect the 10-for-1 Share Consolidation of Real pursuant to the Arrangement.

 

 

 

 

Each of the parties to the Merger Agreement intends that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) the Mergers, taken together, will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (2) the Mergers, taken together, the Exchange and the RIHI Merger (as defined below) will together qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, and (3) the Merger Agreement be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

 

Upon the consummation of the Mergers, the Real REMAX Group Common Stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. If the Mergers are consummated, (i) the shares of REMAX Class A Common Stock and the Real Common Shares will cease trading and will be delisted and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and (ii) Real will cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian provincial and territorial securities laws. Real REMAX Group will continue as a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws.

 

Treatment of Real’s Equity Awards

 

Under the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, Real’s options and restricted share units (“RSUs”) will be treated as follows:

 

(a)            Real options outstanding immediately following the Share Consolidation will be exchanged for options (“Replacement Options”) granted by Real REMAX Group to acquire the same number of shares of Real REMAX Group Common Stock as the number of Real shares that the holders thereof would be entitled to acquire following the Share Consolidation. Such Replacement Options will have an exercise price per share of Real REMAX Group Common Stock equal to the exercise price per Real share of such Real options immediately following the Share Consolidation. Each Replacement Option will be subject to the terms of the applicable Real equity plan and have the same terms and conditions with respect to vesting, conditions to and manner of exercising, term to expiry and otherwise as were applicable to the Real option for which it was exchanged, and any certificate or award agreement previously evidencing the applicable Real option will thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement Options;

 

(b)            the Real RSUs outstanding immediately following the Share Consolidation will be exchanged for RSUs (“Replacement RSUs”) granted by Real REMAX Group to acquire the same number of shares of Real REMAX Group Common Stock or cash equivalent as the number of Real shares or cash equivalent that the holders thereof would be entitled to receive following the Share Consolidation. Each Replacement RSU will be subject to the terms of the applicable Real equity plan and have the same terms and conditions with respect to vesting, term to expiry and otherwise as were applicable to the Real RSU for which it was exchanged, and any certificate or award agreement previously evidencing the applicable Real RSUs shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement RSUs; and

 

(c)            If the foregoing would result in the entitlement to a fraction of a share of Real REMAX Group Common Stock (or cash equivalent in the case of RSUs), then the number of shares of Real REMAX Group Common Stock issuable (or cash equivalent in the case of RSUs) will be rounded down to the near whole number of shares of Real REMAX Group Common Stock.

 

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of both Real, on the one hand, and REMAX Holdings, on the other hand, and the parties have agreed to customary pre-closing covenants, including, among others, relating to (i) the conduct of Real’s and REMAX Holdings’ respective businesses during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the First Merger Effective Time, (ii) Real’s and REMAX Holdings’ respective non-solicitation obligations related to alternative business combination proposals, subject to certain exceptions for certain Acquisition Proposals that constitute or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (iii) the obligation of Real to call a meeting of its securityholders to vote in favor of the Arrangement Resolution and the obligation of REMAX Holdings to call a meeting of its stockholders to approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the RIHI Merger.

 

 

 

 

The Merger Agreement provides that Real and REMAX Holdings each must use its reasonable best efforts to obtain antitrust and other required regulatory approvals in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

Fairness Opinion and Recommendation of Real’s Board of Directors

 

The board of directors of Real (the “Real Board”) received an opinion from Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC that, as of April 26, 2026, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in such opinion, the Arrangement Consideration to be received by the holders of Real Common Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

 

The Real Board, having received financial and legal advice, among other things (i) determined that the Arrangement and the entering into of the Merger Agreement is in the best interests of Real, (ii) determined that the Arrangement and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the Mergers) are fair from a financial point of view to Real securityholders, and (iii) recommends that Real securityholders vote in favor of the special resolution of Real securityholders approving the Arrangement and the Merger Agreement (the “Arrangement Resolution”).

Prior to receipt of the Required REMAX Holdings Stockholder Vote, REMAX Holdings may also, subject to complying with certain provisions in the Merger Agreement, determine to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, subject to the obligation to pay Real the REMAX Holdings Termination Fee (as defined and described below).

Forward-looking statements/forward-looking information inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements, including statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. Where, in any forward-looking statement, The Real Brokerage Inc. (“Real”) or REMAX Holdings, Inc.
