On July 30, 2015, CoStar Group, Inc. (“CoStar” or the “Company”) announced the appointment of Scott L. Yinger as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective August 3, 2015. Mr. Yinger will perform the duties of the principal financial officer and principal accounting officer of the Company until such time as the Company appoints a new Chief Financial Officer. Effective August 3, 2015, Brian J. Radecki, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, will serve the Company as Executive Vice President to assist with the transition and with the search for a new Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Radecki expects to take a sabbatical following the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer for the Company to spend more time with his family.

Mr. Yinger, 50, joined CoStar in June 2010 as Vice President of Finance and has been employed with the Company in that role since that time. As Vice President of Finance, Mr. Yinger has been responsible for the Company’s budgeting, forecasting and other financial analysis, including analysis of mergers and acquisitions, and supports the Company’s investor relations function, communicating with investors and analysts. Prior to joining CoStar, Mr. Yinger held various roles at AOL from 1999 to 2009, including divisional Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance. Mr. Yinger’s employment is not subject to an employment agreement. There is no agreement or understanding between Mr. Yinger and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Yinger has assumed Mr. Radecki’s responsibilities on an interim basis. Mr. Yinger is not a party to any transaction or series of transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, nor are there any family relationships between Mr. Yinger and any director or executive officer of the Company that would require disclosure under Section 401(d) of Regulation S-K.
