 Any person may revoke a previously designated proxy before it is exercised. If you voted by Internet, telephone or mail and are a shareholder of record, you                                                                                       
 may change your vote and revoke your proxy by (1) delivering written notice of revocation to Elizabeth Tice, Secretary, Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., 90 Matawan Road, Fifth Floor, Matawan, N.J. 07747, provided such notice of revocation is      
 received no later than March 26, 2025, (2) voting again by Internet or telephone at a later time before the closing of voting facilities at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on March 26, 2025, (3) submitting a properly signed proxy card with a later  
 date that is received no later than March 27, 2025 prior to voting at the meeting or (4) revoking your proxy and voting in person at the 2025 Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you may submit new voting instructions by    
 contacting your bank, broker or other nominee. You may also change your vote or revoke your proxy in person at the 2025 Annual Meeting if you obtain a signed proxy from the record holder (bank, broker or other nominee) giving you the right to 
 vote the applicable shares. Please note that attendance at the 2025 Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke a proxy.                                                                                                                              |
