Results for the Election of Directors

Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

In 2025, CoStar Group’s Board Chair and Compensation Committee Chair led the outreach to and engagement with our Top 50 stockholders representing 77% of our outstanding shares regarding governance and executive compensation matters. Following this extensive engagement, our Compensation Committee recommended, and our Board unanimously approved, a redesigned executive compensation program for 2026 featuring more rigorous and quantitative goals, enhanced transparency, and a simplified structure, to further align executive compensation with long-term stockholder value. In 2026, our Board Chair and Compensation Committee Chair also led the continuing engagement with our Top 50 stockholders to explain the new program. As a result, stockholders approved the advisory say-on-pay proposal regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

Final voting results for all matters voted on at the Annual Meeting can be found in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
