 Business Execution
Our Board spends a substantial amount of time working with management on Anywhere's mid- and long-term strategy and its near-term objectives, such as efforts focused on navigating the current industry downturn, and addressing changes in industry structure, improving operating efficiencies, overseeing our debt profile, managing litigation, and enhancing our value proposition and market position growth.

The Board receives updates on our strategy at its meetings throughout the year and holds an additional annual two-day meeting focused exclusively on strategy. These strategic meetings focus on core aspects of our business, including initiatives to advance our business strategy, capital allocation, litigation and regulatory matters and our competitive position in light of emerging and existing competitive trends.

During these meetings, the Board considers whether business strategies are appropriately aligned to mitigate the risks identified in the Company's enterprise risk management process (described in “Oversight of Risk Management” below), as well as the pursuit of initiatives intended to advance the Company's strategy, enhance consumer, agent and franchisee value, and keep the Company well-positioned for the future.

### Oversight of Risk Management
Our Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for overseeing our risk management and believes that effective risk management is critical to Anywhere’s ability to achieve its strategy. The oversight responsibility of our Board and its committees is facilitated by regular reports from management, informed by our annual integrated risk assessment and ongoing dynamic risk assessment process, that are designed to provide visibility to our Board and its committees about the identification, assessment, and management of critical risks and management’s risk mitigation strategies. Each committee also provides regular reports to the Board regarding its oversight activities.

Through our dynamic risk assessment process, management and our Board and its committees consistently evaluate the risk environment and adjust the Company's risk profile and focus as needed to respond to industry and macroeconomic changes.

#### Allocation of general risk oversight functions
Board of Directors

The Board oversees management’s processes by which they identify, assess, monitor and manage the Company’s exposure to key risks to determine whether these processes are functioning as intended and seeks to ensure that risks—inherent and undertaken by us—are consistent with a level of risk that is appropriate for our Company and the achievement of our business objectives and strategies. The Board also provides direct oversight of overall strategy and navigation of industry structure changes, including at the two-day offsite annual strategy session, as well as oversight of our capital structure and balance sheet risks, litigation management and CEO succession planning.
