1, again in 2017, and again in 2023, the Board of Directors determined to hold an advisory “Say-on-Pay” vote every year. Unless the Board of Directors modifies its determination of the frequency of future “Say-on-Pay” advisory votes, the next “Say-on-Pay” advisory vote (following the 2025 Annual Meeting) will be held at Redwood’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

#### Vote Required
If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve, on an advisory basis, the resolution approving the compensation of Redwood’s Named Executive Officers. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE NON-BINDING RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

#### STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING
Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in Redwood’s 2026 annual proxy statement and for consideration at Redwood’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. To be eligible for inclusion in Redwood’s 2026 annual proxy statement, a stockholder proposal must be received in writing not less than 120 calendar days before the first anniversary of the date Redwood released its proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting and must otherwise comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, a stockholder nomination for director or proposal of business intended to be considered at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by Redwood’s Secretary not later than December 12, 2025 to be eligible for inclusion in Redwood’s 2026 annual proxy statement. While the Board of Directors will consider stockholder proposals, Redwood reserves the right to omit from its annual proxy statement stockholder proposals that it is not required to include under the Exchange Act and Redwood’s Bylaws, including as a result of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

In addition, Redwood’s current Bylaws contain advance notice provisions with respect to matters to be brought before an annual meeting
