Dear Greg,


On behalf of our company and the team, I want to personally thank you for all your hard work. In recognition of your promotion to the Chief Operating Officer of Compass, Inc. (the “Company”), I am pleased to present you with an incentive award in the aggregate amount of $3,000,000 (the “Promotion Award”), to be awarded in the form of four time-based restricted stock unit awards (the “RSU Grants”) or paid in cash as described in more detail below, subject to your continuous employment with the Company. The Promotion Award is intended to align your interests with that of our shareholders and will allow you to participate in the growth of the company which you help create. The effective date of this letter agreement is May 10, 2022.

The first tranche of your Promotion Award will be awarded in the form of an RSU Grant with the following terms:
