Audit Committee Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has established a policy governing our use of the services of our independent registered public accounting firm. Under this policy, our Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair such accounting firm’s independence. All services provided by PwC for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were pre-approved by our Audit Committee. All services provided by PwC for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 have been pre-approved by our Audit Committee in compliance with this policy.

#### Vote Required
The ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST this proposal.

#### Board of Directors Recommendation
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PWC AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR OUR FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025.

### REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee is a committee of the board of directors comprised solely of independent directors as required by the NYSE listing rules and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the board of directors. This written charter is reviewed annually for changes, as appropriate. With respect to Blend’s financial reporting process, Blend’s management is responsible for (1) establishing and maintaining internal controls and (2) preparing Blend’s consolidated financial statements. Blend’s independent registered public accounting firm for Blend’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of Blend’s consolidated financial statements for such fiscal year. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to oversee these activities. It is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to prepare Blend’s financial statements. These are the fundamental responsibilities of management. In
