Execution Version

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This Support Agreement, dated April 6, 2025 (this “Agreement”), is by and among the entities listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively, “Third Point”, and each individually, a “member” of Third Point) and CoStar Group, Inc. (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, Third Point and its Affiliates (as defined herein) beneficially own or have economic exposure to 8,353,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), on the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Third Point have engaged constructively on certain matters relating to the Company’s business and have mutually determined to reflect their agreements on matters relating to the election of members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Board Representation and Board Matters.

(a) The Company and Third Point agree as follows:

(i) the Board, following a lengthy and comprehensive search for new members of the Board, has determined to add John Berisford (the “Third Point Nominee”), Christine M. McCarthy and Rachel C. Glaser (collectively, the “New Independent Appointees” and each a, “New Independent Appointee”) to the Board, and Third Point supports the addition of each of the New Independent Appointees to the Board. In furtherance thereof, each of the New Independent Appointees will be appointed to serve as a director on the Board, effective as of the date of this Agreement and will be included in the Company’s slate of director nominees in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”);

(ii) the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of the New Independent Appointees to the Board at the 2025 Annual Meeting (including recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of the New Independent Appointees (along with all other Company nominees), soliciting proxies for the election of the New Independent Appointees, and otherwise supporting each of the New Independent Appointees for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in the aggregate); and

(iii) during the Standstill Period (as defined below), should the Third Point Nominee resign from his or her position as a Board member, or be rendered unable to, or refuse to, be appointed to, or for any other reason fail to serve or is not serving, as a Board member, and at such time Third Point has a Net Long Position (as defined below) of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Net Long Position which Third Point has as of the date of this Agreement, the Company (and Board) shall select a replacement therefor reasonably acceptable to Third Point who is “independent” pursuant to the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and satisfies the Board membership criteria set forth in the Company’s Principles of Corporate Governance (and such person, a “Replacement Designee”). Any such Replacement Designee who becomes a Board member in replacement of the Third Point Nominee shall be deemed to be a New Independent Appointee for all purposes under this Agreement.

(b) Third Point acknowledges that, prior to the appointment of the New Independent Appointees to the Board and prior to the nomination of the New Independent Appointees for election at the 2025 Annual Meeting, the New Independent Appointees must provide, to the extent not already provided, (i) any information the Company reasonably requests from non-management directors generally in connection with such appointment or nomination, including completion of the Company’s standard D&O questionnaire and other customary onboarding documentation required of non-management directors generally and an executed consent to be named as a nominee in the Company’s proxy statement and to serve as a director if so elected for the full term for which the New Independent Appointees are elected at any future annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, in each case, as provided by the Company and that apply generally to non-management directors, (ii) information requested by the Company from non-management directors generally that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing under applicable law, stock exchange rules or listing standards or as may be requested or required by any regulatory or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Affiliates, (iii) information reasonably requested by the Company from non-management directors generally in connection with assessing the New Independent Appointees’ eligibility to serve on the Board, and (iv) such written consents reasonably requested by the Company for the conduct of the Company’s vetting procedures generally applicable to non-management directors of the Company and the execution of any documents required by the Company of non-management directors of the Company generally to assure compliance with the matters referenced in Section 1(c).

(c) Third Point acknowledges that, at all times while serving as a member of the Board, all non-management directors are required to comply with all policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines generally applicable to such Board members, including the Company’s code of conduct and conflicts of interest policy, director stock ownership policy, clawback policy, insider trading compliance policy, anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies, Regulation FD-related policies, director confidentiality policies and principles of corporate governance, in each case that have been identified and provided in writing to the New Independent Appointees and that apply generally to non-management directors (the “Company Policies”), and preserve the confidentiality of Company’s business and information, including discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees in accordance with Company Policies.

(d) The Board shall take all action necessary to form an advisory capital allocation committee of the Board (the “Capital Allocation Committee”), effective as of the date of this Agreement, to support the Board’s and management’s review of the Company’s capital structure, capital allocation priorities, and financial targets, including for international expansion and significant investments by the Company’s major brands, including CoStar, Apartments.com, LoopNet, and Homes.com, in accordance with the charter of the Capital Allocation Committee in the form made available to Third Point on or prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Capital Allocation Committee Charter”), which was duly adopted by the Board effective as of the date of this Agreement. The Capital Allocation Committee Charter shall not be amended or modified prior to the end of the Standstill Period without the prior written consent of a majority of the whole Capital Allocation Committee. In accordance with Delaware law and the Company’s bylaws, the Board shall cause the Capital Allocation Committee to be composed of four members which shall include (i) Andrew Florance, (ii) John Berisford (iii) Christine M. McCarthy and (iv) Robert W. Musslewhite, with Mr. Florance serving as the chair of the Capital Allocation Committee, and the composition thereof shall not be altered without the prior written consent of Third Point except if a member thereof resigns from his or her position of the member of the Board or the Capital Allocation Committee. In the event the Third Point Nominee resigns from his or her position as a Board member and/or member of the Capital Allocation Committee, or is rendered unable to, or refuses to, be appointed to, or for any other reason fails to serve or is not serving, as a member of the Capital Allocation Committee, the Company (and Board) shall select a replacement therefor that is reasonably acceptable to Third Point. The Capital Allocation Committee shall consider, in good faith, retaining a consultant that has relevant experience related to the issues that are within the scope of the Capital Allocation Committee’s mandate.

(e) The Board shall, subject to compliance with all applicable stock exchange rules, consider appropriate appointments for the New Independent Appointees to applicable Board committees as it would consider such appointments for other Board candidates, taking into account the composition of the Board, committee assignments and the needs and independence and eligibility requirements of the committees.

(f) Each of Michael R. Klein, Christopher J. Nassetta and Laura C. Kaplan (the “Retiring Directors”) has delivered a resignation letter to the Board, effective as of the appointment of the New Independent Appointees to the Board. The Company agrees that the Company’s slate of director nominees in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting will be limited to eight (8) nominees. As of the date hereof, the Company anticipates that such slate of nominees shall be limited to the New Independent Appointees and the persons who are members of the Board as of the date of this Agreement other than the Retiring Directors.

(g) The New Independent Appointees will be entitled to the same compensation, director indemnity and insurance and other benefits as are accorded to the other non-employee directors of the Company.

(h) Upon the appointment of the New Independent Appointees to the Board and the formation of the Capital Allocation Committee, each member of Third Point, on behalf of itself and the Third Point Affiliates (as defined below), (i) irrevocably withdraws (and shall be deemed to have so withdrawn) all director nominations and candidates and any related materials or notices submitted to the Company prior to the date hereof in connection therewith or related to, including the nomination notice submitted by Third Point Master Fund L.P. in respect of Third Point’s intention to nominate certain individuals for election as directors of the Company at the 2025 Annual Meeting (the “Notice”), (ii) further agrees not to take any further action with respect to the foregoing nominations or otherwise concerning the 2025 Annual Meeting and (iii) subject to the Third Point Nominee entering into an indemnification agreement in a form that is customary and consistent with indemnification agreements provided to other members of the Board, terminates any agreements attached to the Notice with the Third Point Nominee and releases the Third Point Nominee from his or her obligations therein.

As part of its work, the Committee will review the Company’s ongoing investment in Homes.com and ensure an appropriate timeline for profitability. The Capital Allocation Committee includes independent directors Berisford, McCarthy, Robert Musslewhite and Andy Florance, CoStar Group’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, who will serve as the chair of the Committee.

“These Board additions and the creation of the Capital Allocation Committee align with our commitment to strong governance practices and focus on enhancing stockholder value,” said Sams. “We appreciate the constructive dialogue and perspectives of the D. E. Shaw group and Third Point and look forward to working with our new independent directors as we oversee the execution of CoStar Group’s initiatives to unlock profitable growth opportunities.”

“With the strength and support of the refreshed Board, CoStar Group is well positioned to extend its long track record of creating stockholder value,” said Florance. “We have invested in creating more than half a dozen highly profitable, category-leading digital real estate solutions by leveraging our research & development capabilities, massive data advantage and an online community of more than a billion real estate market participants. By maintaining our fortress balance sheet and strong cash flow profile, we will continue to build on our successes through disciplined investment in key growth initiatives across our platforms.”

Sams continued, “I am honored to take on this role as Chair and excited for the tremendous value creation opportunity ahead. On behalf of the Board and leadership team, I thank Michael, Chris and Laura for their dedication to CoStar Group and considerable contributions to the business. Michael has been instrumental to CoStar Group’s success since co-founding the Company, including helping to develop the strategic direction of the business and chart the course for CoStar Group’s tremendous growth and value creation. Similarly, Chris and Laura have played critical roles overseeing the expansion and evolution of our platforms, the development of our operational model and the creation of the Company’s strong financial foundation.”

Sams concluded, “Michael, Chris and Laura have exemplified what it means to be a thoughtful, engaged and highly collaborative Board member and an advocate for stockholders. Their retirements are part of our ongoing succession planning and refreshment process, and we wish them all the best.”

“We are pleased to be significant CoStar stockholders and believe that these steps to refresh Board composition, update executive compensation programs and articulate a disciplined capital allocation strategy will improve the business and drive significant stockholder value,” said Daniel S. Loeb, Chief Executive Officer of Third Point LLC.

“The changes announced today, coupled with CoStar’s leading franchises, position the Company to create sustainable value for stockholders,” said Michael O’Mary, Managing Director at the D. E. Shaw group. “John, Christine and Rachel will add valuable experience and expertise as the Board and newly formed Capital Allocation Committee oversee the execution of CoStar’s strategy and optimize its investments and operations.”

Additional Corporate Governance Enhancements

In addition, the CoStar Group Board intends to review the Company’s executive compensation programs to ensure management’s incentives remain aligned with stockholder value creation.

In connection with the actions announced today, CoStar Group has entered into support agreements (the “Agreements”) with the D. E. Shaw group and Third Point LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the stockholders have agreed to customary standstill, voting and other provisions.
