BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES; CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

#### Overview
Grove is committed to maintaining high standards of business conduct and corporate governance, which we believe are important to the overall success of our business and serve Grove’s stakeholders well. The Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and Grove’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, together with Grove’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and the charters of the committees of the Board form the basis for the Company’s corporate governance framework. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are posted on our website at https://investors.grove.co under the Governance section.

#### Director Independence
Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. The Board has determined that Rayhan Arif, Larry Cheng, David Glazer, Kristine Miller, Naytri Shroff Sramek and John Replogle qualify as independent directors, as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing rules. Jeff Yurcisin was determined not to be independent under such rules and regulations, because he was, and is, an employee of the Company. In addition, Mr. Landesberg was determined not to be independent due to his previous employment by the Company. Chris Clark, who served on the Board during 2024 but is not a current member of the Board, also was determined not to be independent due to his employment by the Company. Kevin Cleary, who served on the Board during 2024 but is not a current member of the Board, was determined to be an independent director.

#### Meeting Attendance and Executive Sessions
The Board held seven meetings during 2024. During 2024, each of our current directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of our Board and committees thereof, if any, on which such director served during the period for which he or she was a director or committee member. The independent members of our Board met regularly in executive session in Board and committee meetings. For additional information about the number of meetings held by each Board committee during the year ended December 31, 2024, see “ Board Committees ” below. We encourage, but do not require, members of our Board to attend our annual meeting of stockholders. Six members of our Board attended the annual meeting of our stockholders held in 2024.
