Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 28, 2025, the Company and CBRE Services, Inc. (“Services”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and NatWest Markets Securities Inc. on behalf of the several underwriters listed in Schedule A thereto, providing for the issuance and sale of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.800% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “2030 Notes” and, together with the 2035 Notes, the “Notes”).

The Notes were offered pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276141) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement, dated April 28, 2025. The closing of the sale of the Notes is expected to occur on May 12, 2025 (the “Issue Date”), subject to customary closing conditions.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to redeem Services’ 4.875% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), to repay borrowings under the Company’s commercial paper program and for other general corporate purposes.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Underwriting Agreement, attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

The underwriters and their affiliates have in the past provided and from time to time in the future may provide the Company and its affiliates with certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and may receive customary payments of interest, fees and commissions.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 28, 2025, Services delivered a notice of its intent to redeem (the “Redemption”) all of its outstanding 2026 Notes. The Redemption is conditioned on the closing of the sale of the Notes.

Services expects to redeem all of the outstanding 2026 Notes on May 28, 2025 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption price for the 2026 Notes will be calculated pursuant to the following formula: the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to December 1, 2025 (not including any portions of payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2015 relating to the 2026 Notes, among Services, the Company and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee), and in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be payable to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

This Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2026 Notes.
