| 2024 INVESTOR OUTREACH PROGRAM |

#### Board Outreach
Our Board maintains a proactive and robust investor outreach program, offering meetings to a substantial majority of shares each year since 2018. We believe offering our stockholders an opportunity for regular communication with our Board is critical to our Board's ability to ensure thoughtful and informed consideration of evolving corporate governance and executive compensation best practices. During these sessions, we seek feedback on Anywhere's strategy, capital allocation, leadership, governance and our compensation program, among other topics.

| We met with seven of our    
 top ten stockholders during 
 the 2024 Investor Outreach  |     | Mr. Williams, Independent Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Silva, Chair of the Compensation and Talent Management Committee, attended all 2024 and early 2025 Board Investor Outreach meetings. |

In addition to representatives of the Board, sessions in 2024 and early 2025 were also attended by our Chief People Officer, Head of Investor Relations, and Assistant Corporate Secretary.

The 2024 Board Investor Outreach Program was comprised of both spring and fall/winter sessions:

| Time of Outreach      |     | Stockholders Contacted* (%) |     | Participating Stockholders* (%) |
| Spring 2024           |     | ~65%                        |     | ~30%                            |
| Fall 2024/Winter 2025 |     | ~60%                        |     | ~50%                            |

* Based on estimates at the time of outreach

In January 2025, we also met with representatives of two leading proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis.

We take feedback from our investors,
