| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. On October 23, 2024, Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. ("CFLP") exercised exchange rights with respect to 13,861 exchangeable limited partnership interests ("Interests") in Newmark Holdings, L.P. ("Newmark Holdings") at the current exchange ratio of 0.9257 shares per Interest, for 12,831 shares of Newmark Group, Inc. ("Newmark Group") Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock") for the purpose of delivering the shares to certain current and former partners of CFLP in satisfaction of the deferred stock distribution obligations described in footnote (5) below. |
| 2. Also on October 23, 2024, in connection with the transaction described in footnote (1) above, CFLP authorized the distribution of the 12,831 shares of Class A Common Stock to those certain current and former partners of CFLP in satisfaction of its deferred share distribution obligations as described in footnote (5) below. |
| 3. Also on October 23, 2024, in a transaction unrelated to those described in footnotes (1) and (2) above, CFLP purchased from Newmark Holdings an aggregate of 662,703 Interests in a transaction exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Newmark Holdings (as amended from time to time, the "Newmark Holdings Agreement"). |
| 4.

| 5. CFLP has deferred stock distribution obligations pursuant to rights provided to certain current and former partners of CFLP which are to be satisfied by CFLP's delivery of Common Stock (as defined in footnote 8), which relate to distributions to its partners that CFLP declared on April 1, 2008 ("April 2008 distribution rights shares") and February 14, 2012 ("February 2012 distribution rights shares," and together with the April 2008 distribution rights shares, the "distribution rights shares"). CFLP currently intends to satisfy all distribution rights shares with shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of exchange rights with respect to its Interests (however, CFLP is under no obligation to satisfy the distribution rights shares in this manner). |

The shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible at any time on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment) into shares of Class A Common Stock. |
| 9. The reporting person's interest in 1,025,612 shares of Class A Common Stock consists of 1,025,612 distribution rights shares (consisting of 951,076 April 2008 distribution rights shares and 74,536 February 2012 distribution rights shares). |
| 10. CF Group Management, Inc. ("CFGM") is the managing general partner of CFLP. CFGM disclaims beneficial ownership of all such securities in excess of its pecuniary interest, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that CFGM is the beneficial owner of, or has pecuniary interest in, any such excess securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose. |
