Information About Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the views of the management of ZipRealty, Inc. (“ZipRealty”) regarding current expectations and projections about future events and the ability of ZipRealty to complete the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the parties’ ability to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the tender offer and the other conditions set forth in the merger agreement, and are based on currently available information. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Expressions of future goals and similar expressions including, “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “targets,” or “continue,” reflecting something other than historical fact are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The proposed transaction has not closed, and the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: the possibility that disruption from the transaction may adversely affect ZipRealty’s relationships with its customers, business partners, employees or independent sales associates; the conditions to the completion of the transaction may not be satisfied in a timely manner or at all; and the other factors described in ZipRealty’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless required by law, ZipRealty undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Additional Information

The offer to purchase shares of ZipRealty’s common stock will only be made pursuant to the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related documents filed as a part of the Schedule TO.
