Additional Disclosures
Since the filing of the preliminary joint proxy
statement/prospectus and management information circular by Real REMAX Group with the SEC on June 12, 2026, several purported REMAX
stockholders have sent demand letters (together, the “Demand Letters”) generally alleging that the preliminary joint proxy
statement/prospectus and management information circular and/or the joint proxy statement/prospectus and management information circular
is misleading and/or omits certain purportedly material information regarding, among other things, the background of the merger, Real
and/or REMAX’s financial projections and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC’s financial analyses.
In addition, on July 22, 2026 and July 23,
2026, respectively, two separate complaints were filed by purported REMAX stockholders in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
County of New York against REMAX and its directors under the captions (i) John Burke v. RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. et al. (the “Burke

and management information circular omitted certain purportedly material information regarding, among other things, the background of
the Merger, Real and/or REMAX’s financial projections and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC’s financial analyses that rendered it

barring consummation of the Transaction or, in the event that the Transaction is consummated, damages resulting from the alleged violations.

of the Additional Disclosures. To the contrary, Real REMAX Group, Real and REMAX specifically deny all allegations in the Matters, including
that any additional disclosure was or is required, whether or not set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
To the extent that information in the Additional

the information in the Additional Disclosures will supersede or supplement the information in the joint proxy statement/prospectus and
management information circular. Except as otherwise described in the Additional Disclosures, the joint proxy statement/prospectus and

The disclosure on page 130 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and management information circular contained within the
subsection titled “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis - REMAX” starting with the text “J.P. Morgan conducted a discounted
cash flow analysis of REMAX…” and continuing through “… ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% to the unlevered free
cash flows (post-SBC) of REMAX during the terminal year, based on the REMAX Projections” is supplemented and replaced with the following:
J.P. Morgan conducted a discounted cash flow analysis
of REMAX using the unlevered free cash flows (post-SBC) that REMAX was expected to generate during calendar years 2026 through 2030 based
on the REMAX Projections. J.P. Morgan calculated a range of terminal values for REMAX at the end of such period by applying perpetual
growth rates ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% (which implied a terminal multiple range of 8.0x to 9.4x) to the unlevered free cash
flows (post-SBC) of REMAX during the terminal year, based on the REMAX Projections. Such perpetual growth rates were selected by
J.P. Morgan based on its experience and professional judgment, taking into account the Projections and market expectations regarding long-term
growth of gross domestic product and inflation.
The disclosure on page 130 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and management information circular contained within the
subsection titled “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis - REMAX” starting with the text “J.P. Morgan then discounted
the unlevered free cash flow (post-SBC) estimates…” and continuing through “… and (iii) implied offer
price of $13.80 per share of REMAX Class A Common Stock based on an exchange ratio of 5.150x and closing price of Real Common Shares

J.P. Morgan then discounted the unlevered free
cash flow (post-SBC) estimates and the range of terminal values to present value as of December 31, 2025, using a range of discount
rates from 11.0% to 12.0%, which range was selected by J.P. Morgan based upon an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of REMAX derived using the capital asset pricing model and J.P. Morgan’s professional judgment and experience. The present
values of the unlevered free cash flow (post-SBC) estimates and the range of terminal values were then adjusted for REMAX’s net
debt of approximately $320 million as of December 31, 2025, as set forth in REMAX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and dividing the result by the diluted number of shares of REMAX Class A Common
Stock outstanding of approximately 39.9 million as of March 31, 2026 (calculated using the treasury stock method),
as provided by REMAX management. This analysis indicated ranges of implied per share equity values for REMAX Class A Common Stock
(rounded to the nearest $0.25) of approximately $10.50 to $14.00, as compared to the (i) unaffected closing price of REMAX Class A
Common Stock of $6.56 per share on April 23, 2026, the Unaffected Date, (ii) closing price of REMAX Class A Common Stock
of $7.99 per share on April 24, 2026, and (iii) implied offer price of $13.80 per share of REMAX Class A Common Stock based

subsection titled “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis - Real” starting with the text “J.P. Morgan conducted a discounted
cash flow analysis of Real…” and continuing through “… ranging from 2.0% to 3.0% to the unlevered free

the following:
J.P. Morgan conducted a discounted cash flow analysis
of Real using the unlevered free cash flows (post-SBC) that Real was expected to generate during calendar years 2026 through 2030 based
on the Real Projections. J.P. Morgan calculated a range of terminal values for Real at the end of such period by applying perpetual growth
rates ranging from 2.0% to 3.0% (which implied a terminal multiple range of 16.3x to 20.7x) to the unlevered free cash flows
(post-SBC) of Real during the terminal year, based on the Real Projections for Real. Such perpetual growth rates were selected by
J.P. Morgan based on its experience and professional judgment, taking into account the Projections and market expectations regarding long-term

values of the unlevered free cash flow (post-SBC) estimates and the range of terminal values were then adjusted for Real’s cash and equivalents of approximately $50 million, non-controlling interest of approximately ($0.09) million and
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately $2.25 million, as of December 31, 2025, as set forth in
Real’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and dividing the result by the diluted
number of Real Common Shares outstanding of approximately 256.5 million as of March 31, 2026, as provided by Real Management
and approved for J.P. Morgan’s use by REMAX. This analysis indicated ranges of implied per share equity values for Real Common Shares
(rounded to the nearest $0.25) of approximately $2.50 to $3.00, as compared to the closing price of Real Common Shares of $2.68 per share
on April 24, 2026.
The disclosure on pages 131 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and management information circular contained within the
subsection titled “Intrinsic Value Creation Analysis” starting with the text “J.P. Morgan conducted an illustrative
implied intrinsic value creation analysis…” and continuing through “… The equity values in this analysis
were calculated on a diluted basis” is supplemented and replaced with the following:
J.P. Morgan conducted an illustrative implied intrinsic
value creation analysis based on the REMAX Projections, the Real Projections, and the Synergies, as applicable, which compared the implied
equity value of REMAX Class A Common Stock derived from a discounted cash flow analysis on a standalone basis to the implied equity
value attributable to the holders of REMAX Class A Common Stock of the pro forma combined company, taking into account the Synergies,
and assuming a blended Merger Consideration of $11.79 in shares of New Wildlife and $2.01 in cash per share of REMAX Class A Common
Stock. J.P. Morgan determined the implied equity value of the pro forma combined company by calculating the sum of (i) the aggregate
of the implied equity value of REMAX and the implied equity value of Real, in each case using the midpoint values determined pursuant
to J.P. Morgan’s discounted cash flow analyses described above, plus (ii) the estimated present value of the Synergies of approximately
$233 million (which were discounted to present value using a discount rate of 11.5% and applying a perpetual growth rate of 2.5%,
which discount rate and perpetual growth rate represent the midpoints of the ranges of discount rates and perpetual growth rates, respectively,
used in the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis - Real described above), less (iii) the Cash Election Consideration to be paid
to holders of REMAX Class A Common Stock of approximately $80 million pursuant to the Merger Agreement, less (iv) transaction
expenses of approximately $71 million, as provided by Real Management and approved for J.P. Morgan’s use by REMAX. J.P. Morgan determined
the implied value attributable to the holders of REMAX Class A Common Stock by multiplying the implied equity value of the pro forma
combined company by the pro forma equity ownership percentage of the combined company attributable to the existing holders of REMAX Class A
Common Stock pursuant to the Mergers of approximately 40.6%, and adding to that the Cash Election Consideration to be paid to the holders
of REMAX Class A Common Stock of approximately $80 million. This analysis indicated that, on an illustrative basis, the Mergers created
hypothetical incremental implied value of approximately 24.3% to the holders of REMAX Class A Common Stock. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Synergies, transaction-related expenses, and other impacts referred to above will not be substantially greater or less
than those estimated by Real’s Management and described above. The equity values in this analysis were calculated on a diluted basis.

Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements/forward-looking information include all statements that do not relate solely to historical
or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “potential,” “plan,” and similar expressions
or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could.”
These forward-looking statements/forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements related to the expected benefits
of the proposed transaction; the anticipated impact of the proposed transaction on the combined company’s business and future financial
and operating results, including the expected leverage of the combined company and the amount and timing of synergies from the proposed
transaction; the completion of the Transaction and the expected timeline; and the ability to satisfy all closing conditions, including
the receipt of required approvals for the Transaction. 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, Real
or REMAX express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, it is based on Real and/or REMAX’s current plans and expectations,
expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, neither Real nor REMAX can give any assurance that any such
expectation or belief will result or will be achieved or accomplished. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include,
but are not limited to: Real’s and REMAX’s ability to consummate the proposed transaction on the expected timeline or at all;
Real’s and REMAX’s ability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals in a timely manner and the risk that such approvals
are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; Real’s or REMAX’s ability to obtain approval
of their shareholders; the risk that a condition of closing of the proposed transaction may not be satisfied or that the closing of the
proposed transaction might otherwise not occur; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give
rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including in circumstances requiring Real or REMAX to pay a termination fee; the diversion
of management time on transaction-related issues; risks related to disruption from the proposed transaction, including disruption of management
time from current plans and ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction and integration matters; the risk that the proposed
transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on Real’s and REMAX’s ability to retain agents, franchisees
and personnel or that there could be potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement
or completion of the proposed transaction; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction; potential litigation
relating to the proposed transaction that could be instituted against the parties to the Merger Agreement or their respective directors,
managers or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; the ability of the combined company to achieve the synergies
and other anticipated benefits expected from the proposed transaction or such synergies and other anticipated benefits taking longer to
realize than anticipated; the ability of the combined company to achieve the expected leverage or such leverage taking longer to realize
than anticipated; Real’s ability to integrate REMAX promptly and effectively; anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities,
future capital expenditures, economic performance, future prospects and business and managem
