TORONTO & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$REAX #therealbrokerage–The Real Brokerage Inc. (TSX: REAX) (NASDAQ: REAX), the fastest-growing publicly traded real estate brokerage, today announced it has launched operations in South Dakota, expanding the company’s presence to 47 states and four Canadian provinces.

Josh Boschee, who serves as Real’s Principal Broker in North Dakota, also will assume responsibility for South Dakota. Real opens for business in South Dakota with the top-producing Christians Team Real Estate. The 16-member team, which is led by Jeff Christians, includes six agents who serve the Rapid City/Spearfish metropolitan area and two agents who are based in Phoenix.

“With relatively affordable housing and access to some of the best trails and lakes for year-round outdoor activities, South Dakota was one of the top 10 movers states in 2022¹. Real’s expansion into this growing housing market allows our agents to better serve their clients,” Real Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tamir Poleg said. “We are thrilled to be launching our operations in South Dakota with an experienced broker like Josh as well as Jeff and his team, who not only know the market well, but who represent the region’s largest new home builders.”

Boschee said, “It’s exciting to be rounding out Real’s presence in America’s heartland. The company’s tech-powered platform and resources that are tailored to support the success of its agents will resonate in South Dakota, where the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well.”

Ranked as one of the top teams serving the Northern Black Hills, Christians Team Real Estate has sold more than 1,400 homes over the past nine years. The team specializes in new construction, leveraging its relationships with the region’s leading developers to provide its clients with a seamless process that allows a buyer to move into their new home before closing on their old one. In 2022, Christians Team Real Estate sold 238 homes totaling $82 million.

“The move to Real made a lot of sense for our team. By leaning into technology and keeping overhead low, I believe Real is able to offer some of the most competitive compensation in the industry and still offer a robust platform for agents. In addition, through Real’s revenue sharing program, our agents have access to an additional source of income designed to build long-term wealth,” said Christians.

¹According to United Van Lines 46^th Annual National Movers Study.

TORONTO & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Real Brokerage Inc. (the “Company” or “Real”) (TSX: REAX) (NASDAQ: REAX), the fastest growing publicly traded real estate brokerage, today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has approved the Company’s normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”).

Pursuant to the NCIB, Real may purchase up to 9,006,526 of its common shares (“Common Shares”), representing approximately 5% of its issued and outstanding Common Shares of 180,130,539 as of May 18, 2023. The NCIB will be conducted during the twelve-month period commencing May 29, 2023 and ending May 28, 2024.

Under the NCIB, other than purchases made under block purchase exemptions, Real may purchase up to 2,826 Common Shares on the TSX during any trading day, which represents approximately 25% of 11,304, which represents the average daily trading volume on the TSX for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to the TSX’s acceptance of the notice of the NCIB.

The Company has established a Restricted Share Unit Plan (“RSU Plan”), an omnibus incentive plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) and an amended and restated omnibus incentive plan (the “A&R Plan” and together with the RSU Plan and the Omnibus Plan, the “Plans”) for the benefit of designated participants. Designated participants are employees, officers or consultants of the Company or a related entity of the Company as the Company’s board of directors may designate from time to time as eligible to participate in Plans. Under the Plans, vested restricted share units (“RSUs”) are redeemable for Common Shares, a cash payment equivalent to the value of a Common Share or a combination of cash or Common Shares. The Plans provides that Common Shares available to satisfy such redemption will be acquired on the market. The NCIB is being conducted to acquire the Common Shares for the purposes of the Plans.

In April 2021, Real appointed CWB Trust Services (“CWT”) as the trustee for the purposes of arranging for the acquisition of the Common Shares and to hold Common Shares in trust for the purposes of the Plans as well as deal with other administration matters. Through CWT, RBC Capital Markets (“RBCCM”) has been engaged to undertake purchases under the NCIB for the purposes of the Plans.

The Common Shares acquired will be held by the CWT until the Common Shares are transferred to the designated participants or sold in the market with the proceeds to be transferred to designated participants under the terms of the Plans to satisfy the Company’s obligations in respect of redemptions of vested RSUs held by such designated participants.

Although the Company intends to purchase Common Shares under the NCIB, there can be no assurances that any such purchases will be completed. Any purchases made under the normal course issuer bid will be made by Real at the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition and through the facilities of the TSX, Nasdaq and alternative Canadian trading systems. The Company may rely on an automatic purchase plan during the NCIB. The automatic purchase plan would allow for purchases by the Company of Common Shares during certain predetermined blackout periods, subject to certain parameters and approval of the TSX.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
