   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement.

   More detail

   This proposal asks stockholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote approving the Company’s executive compensation as disclosed. Management seeks support to affirm the Compensation Committee’s redesigned 2026 program emphasizing pay-for-performance, increased rigor, and alignment with stockholder feedback. The Company details substantial changes implemented for 2026—greater weighting on PSUs, elimination of options and short-term performance RSAs, increased objective metrics, higher rTSR targets, symmetrical performance slopes, enhanced clawbacks and higher CEO ownership requirements—aimed at stronger alignment with long-term stockholder value. The Board recommends a vote FOR, stating that the program is effective and responsive to investor concerns; the Compensation Committee describes extensive stockholder engagement following the 2025 say-on-pay result and highlights program modifications intended to address criticisms about goal rigor and transparency. The proposal is non-binding, so while the board will consider the vote results, it does not compel changes. The context includes prior lower say-on-pay support in 2025 (~53%) and material program revisions for 2026 to address governance and compensation alignment concerns.

4. 4

   Approval of the CoStar Group, Inc. 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Approve the Company’s 2026 ESPP, authorizing 2.5 million shares for purchase by employees through payroll deductions with 85% purchase price of lower of offering or purchase date FMV.

   More detail

   The Board asks stockholders to approve a 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan reserving 2.5 million shares (about 0.61% of outstanding shares at adoption) to enable employees to purchase shares via payroll deductions, typically at 85% of the lower of the offering period start or purchase date fair market value. Management argues the ESPP is an effective retention and alignment tool. The plan contains both a Section 423 (tax-qualified) component and a Non-Section 423 component to permit flexibility outside the US. The proposal is routine for equity plan approvals but has dilution and accounting implications; the Board recommends FOR, noting the reserve should cover multiple years depending on participation and hiring.
