Veeco launches Lumina+ MOCVD system, receives Rocket Lab order
Compass, Inc. (NYSE:COMP) disclosed Wednesday that it has delivered an accelerated share consideration as part of its acquisition of @properties Christie’s International Real Estate. The update was provided in a press release statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company had agreed to issue 44.1 million shares of its Class A common stock as part of the merger, with the final number of shares subject to adjustment based on the stock’s trading price one year after closing. The original agreement allowed for a potential increase or decrease of up to $50 million in share value, depending on the share price at that time.
According to the filing, Compass amended the agreement to allow for an early payout to certain sellers if specific stock price conditions were met. On August 27, 2025, these conditions were satisfied, triggering the accelerated release. As a result, Compass delivered 28.4 million shares to eligible sellers on August 28, 2025. This amount represents approximately 74% of the total share consideration and is close to the minimum number of shares that could have been issued under the original agreement.
The company stated that this early payout reduced potential shareholder dilution by about 4.1 million shares, or 9.3% of the original share consideration. The remaining 26% of shares, designated for other sellers who did not participate in the early release, will be delivered in three equal installments in January 2026, 2027, and 2028. The final number of shares to be issued will depend on the trading price of Compass’s Class A shares in January 2026.
Compass’s guidance for its third quarter 2025 weighted-average basic share count remains unchanged at 38.5 million shares, which reflects the minimum number expected to be issued in connection with the transaction. The company indicated it does not plan to provide further updates on the final share count until its periodic SEC filing in early 2026.
All information is based on a press release statement included in the company’s SEC filing.
