Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On March 15, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Compass, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a process to reclassify the membership of the Board’s three Director classes in order to achieve a more equal apportionment of membership among the three Director classes. Accordingly, effective March 15, 2022, Frank Martell, a member of the Board, resigned from his position as a Class III Director (with a term expiring at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders), subject to and conditioned upon his immediate reappointment as a Class I Director (with a term expiring at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders). The Board accepted Mr. Martell’s resignation and immediately reappointed him as a Class I Director with a term expiring at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Martell will be nominated for election as Class I Director with a term expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The resignation and reappointment of Mr. Martell was effected solely for the purpose of achieving a more equal apportionment of membership among the Board’s three classes of Directors, and for all other purposes, Mr. Martell’s service on the Board is deemed to have continued uninterrupted.

Mr. Martell continues to be appointed to the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board and there were no changes to any of Mr. Martell’s compensation arrangements with or any compensation due to Mr. Martell as a result of his resignation as a Class III Director and appointment as a Class I Director.
