Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, Girard Sharp LLP, and The Hall Firm, Ltd. attorneys file Securities Class Action against Compass, Inc. (NYSE: COMP). SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, Girard Sharp LLP, and The Hall Firm, Ltd., all national law firms specializing in complex class actions and shareholder rights, announce they have filed a class action lawsuit for violations of the federal securities laws against Compass, Inc. ("Compass" or "Company") (NYSE: COMP) and certain officers and directors of Compass and Anywhere Real Estate Inc. ("Anywhere"). The class action asserts claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 on behalf of former Anywhere shareholders who acquired newly issued Compass common stock in direct exchange for their Anywhere securities in the January 9, 2026 stock-for-stock transaction (the "Merger") by which Compass merged with and acquired Anywhere (the "Class"). The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned: Magloire v. Compass, Inc., et al., No. 1:26-cv-08885 (S.D.N.Y.). If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Compass class action lawsuit, please provide your information by filling out our contact form. You can also contact attorney Adam Polk of Girard Sharp by calling (866) 981-4800 or via e-mail at [email protected]. Lead plaintiff motions for the Compass class action lawsuit must be filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York no later than December 8, 2026. CASE ALLEGATIONS: The complaint alleges that the offering materials for the Merger and related communications misrepresented and omitted material information concerning defendants' attestations to make reasonable best efforts to obtain authorizations and consents from regulatory authorities in connection with the Merger, as well as defendants' compliance with applicable laws, the absence of governmental investigations, and the possession of and compliance with licenses and permits necessary for the conduct of business. The complaint alleges that, in truth, at the time of the Merger, defendants surreptitiously hired a lobbyist, lawyer, and ally of President Donald Trump to obtain inside access to and backchannel high-level Department of Justice ("DOJ") officials to circumvent the standard merger review process and extinguish opposition to the Merger from certain individuals within the DOJ. As the complaint alleges, these undisclosed practices contradicted and undermined defendants' attestations of "reasonable best efforts" to obtain regulatory approval and purported "compliance with applicable laws," allowing the Merger to close despite the harm to industry competition as a result of the Merger's anticompetitive effect. Ultimately, members of Congress sought information regarding the DOJ's review of the Merger and criticized the "deeply disturbing" "fact pattern" preceding its approval, while the New York State Attorney General initiated an antitrust investigation regarding the Merger. The trading price of Compass common stock has suffered severe declines since the close of the Merger, and at the commencement of this action, Compass shares closed at $9.19 per share - a decline of over 28% from the approximately $12.84 share price on the exchange date for the Merger. Accordingly, the action seeks to recover damages for former Anywhere shareholders who acquired Compass stock in the Merger and sustained harm as a result. LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who acquired Compass common stock in exchange for their Anywhere securities pursuant to the Merger to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Compass class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Compass class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Compass class action lawsuit. LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE: If you wish to be lead plaintiff, a motion on your behalf must be filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York no later than December 8, 2026. You do not need to seek appointment as lead plaintiff to share in any Class recovery in the class action. If you are a Class member and there is a recovery for the Class, you can share in that recovery as an absent Class member.
