On March 16, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Frontdoor, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously elected Dennis Howard as a director of the Company, and appointed him as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board, effective March 17, 2026. Mr. Howard is the Managing Director, Chief Technology, Operations, and Data Officer for Charles Schwab, a global financial services firm. Mr. Howard will stand for re-election at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

There were no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which Mr. Howard was elected as a director. The Board has affirmatively determined, under Nasdaq listing standards and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, that Mr. Howard is “independent.”

Mr. Howard will receive the Company’s standard compensation provided to all of the Company’s non-employee directors for service on the Board, which is currently $90,000 per annum, payable quarterly in cash, and $180,000 per annum, payable in shares of fully vested common stock of the Company, par value per $0.01 share (the “Shares”) issued under the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, annually at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders unless the director has elected to defer the receipt of the Shares to a point in the future. In addition, Mr. Howard will receive the Company’s standard compensation provided to all members of the Audit Committee of the Board, which is currently $12,500 per annum, payable quarterly in cash. The initial cash amount payable to Mr. Howard will be prorated with respect to fiscal year 2026 based on his time of service on the Board and the Audit Committee during 2026. The initial grant of Shares payable to Mr. Howard will be prorated from his time of service on the Board to the date of the first anniversary of the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.
