On August 20, 2026, Dream Finders Homes, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors (“Board”) approved amendments (the “Amendments”) to the Dream Finders Homes, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Amendments to the Plan (1) create an exception to the limit on the sum of (a) any cash, or other compensation and (b) the value of awards granted under the Plan as compensation for services as a non-employee director during any fiscal year of the Company to $400,000 for any non-employee director who serves as Chairman of the Board, Co-Chairman of the Board or Lead Director or in a similar role, as determined by the Board (the “Director Compensation Limit”); (2) change the governing law for the Plan from Delaware to Texas; and (3) modify the definition of “Fair Market Value” in the Plan to allow greater flexibility in the method by which the price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock is used to determine value under the Plan (for amendments (2) and (3), collectively, the “Administrative Amendments”). The Administrative Amendments are effective as of the date of Board approval.

The amendment to the Director Compensation Limit was subject to shareholder approval.
