    Domain Board unanimously recommended that Domain shareholders vote in favor of the proposed Scheme

    CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSGP), a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, analytics and 3D digital twin technology in the property markets, announced today that it has entered a binding Scheme Implementation Deed (SID) to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Domain Holdings Australia Limited, a leading Australian property marketplace.

    In February 2025, CoStar Group acquired approximately 17% of the ordinary shares of Domain at A$4.20 per share for a total purchase price of approximately A$452 million ($285 million). Under the terms of SID, which followed a period of exclusive due diligence, CoStar Group has agreed to pay Domain shareholders a cash consideration of A$4.43 per share, less any special dividend declared or paid by Domain from May 9, 2025, for the balance of the shares by way of a Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme). The consideration to be offered to Domain shareholders values Domain at an implied enterprise value of A$3.0 billion. Accordingly, CoStar Group expects to spend approximately A$2.3 billion ($1.5 billion) to acquire the remaining approximately 83% of the ordinary shares of Domain that it doesn't otherwise own upon consummation of the Scheme.

    The Scheme is subject to the approval of Domain shareholders and the satisfaction of other conditions, including Court approval, the approval of the Australian Government's Foreign Investment Review Board, an Independent Expert concluding (and continuing to conclude) that the Scheme is in the best interest of Domain shareholders and no Material Adverse Change or Prescribed Occurrences occurring to Domain, as defined in the SID.

    The Domain Board has unanimously recommended that Domain shareholders vote in favor of the proposed Scheme in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to the Independent Expert concluding (and continuing to conclude) that the Scheme is in the best interests of Domain shareholders.

    Nine Entertainment Co. Holdings Limited (Nine), as the controlling shareholder of Domain, with 60.1% of the ordinary Domain shares outstanding, has advised Domain that it intends to vote all of the Domain shares it holds or controls in favor of the Scheme subject to the same qualifications. To succeed, the Scheme requires the approval of more than 75% of votes cast by eligible shareholders and a majority of shareholders voting by number.

    "We're pleased to have reached an agreement with Domain and to see Nine's support of this transformative transaction," said Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. "As one of the first and most experienced digital real estate companies in the world, CoStar Group brings a proven track record of building high-traffic online marketplaces that deliver real value. With our technology, scale, and the innovation we're known for, we see a tremendous opportunity to enhance the Australian property market. By combining Domain's deep expertise with our global experience and best practices, we will build a more compelling user experience at a lower cost - driving greater value for agents, vendors, and home buyers. We will also create value for our customers globally by incorporating Domain's learnings and best practices into our marketplaces outside of Australia. We are confident this acquisition will foster more competition in Australia."

    Domain is a leading property technology and services marketplace that is home to one of the largest portfolios of property brands in Australia, including Domain, Allhomes, Commercial Real Estate, Domain Insight and Pricefinder. Headquartered in Sydney, Domain reaches an average of 6.6 million Australians each month.

    Domain Chair and Non-Executive Director, Nick Falloon, said, "The Domain Board has carefully considered the CoStar Group proposal and believes it represents compelling value and a high degree of certainty for Domain shareholders, through the cash offer and limited conditionality. This proposal reinforces the strong fundamentals of Domain, which we are confident will be further realized with CoStar Group's support."

    The Scheme meeting, at which Domain shareholders will vote on the proposal, is expected to be held in mid-August 2025. Subject to the conditions of the Scheme being satisfied and Court approval, the Scheme is expected to be implemented in the third quarter of 2025.
