#### NOBILITY HOMES, INC.

#### PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

#### TO BE HELD MARCH 6, 2026
This proxy material and the enclosed form of proxy are being sent to the shareholders of Nobility Homes, Inc. on or about February 5, 2026, in connection with the solicitation by our board of directors of proxies to be used at the annual meeting of our shareholders. The meeting will be held at our executive offices, 3741 S.W. 7<sup>th</sup> Street, Ocala, Florida, at 10:00 A.M. local time, on Friday, March 6, 2026.

If the enclosed form of proxy is executed and returned, you may revoke it at any time if it has not yet been exercised, by delivering a later dated proxy or written notice of revocation to our corporate secretary or by attending the annual meeting and electing to vote in person. The shares represented by the proxy will be voted unless the proxy is received in such form as to render it not votable. The proxy is in ballot form so that you may specifically grant or withhold authority to vote for the election of each director. Our board of directors has designated Terry E. Trexler and Tom Trexler, and each or either of them, as proxies to vote the shares of common stock solicited on its behalf.

In the election of directors, you may vote "FOR" all or some of the nominees or your vote may be "WITHHELD" with respect to one or more of the nominees. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting, which means that the four nominees who receive the highest number of properly executed votes will be elected as directors, even if those nominees do not receive a majority of the votes cast. A properly executed proxy marked "withhold authority" with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

For the advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, you may vote for "ONE YEAR," "TWO YEARS," "THREE YEARS" or "ABSTAIN." The advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is non-binding on the board of directors. Notwithstanding the board's recommendation and the outcome of the shareholder vote, the board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with shareholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs.

For the advisory resolution on executive compensation, you may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN." The advisory resolution on executive compensation, commonly referred to as a "say-on-pay" resolution, is non-binding on the board of directors. Although the vote is non-binding, the board of directors and the compensation committee will review the voting results in connection with their ongoing evaluation of our compensation program.

Abstentions are not considered votes cast and will have no effect on whether these proposals are approved.

Shareholders of record at the close of business on January 30, 2026, the record date for the annual meeting, will be entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on any matter to come before the meeting. As of January 30, 2026, we had 3,153,665 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

The complete mailing address of our principal executive office is 3741 S.W. 7<sup>th</sup> Street, Ocala, Florida 34474.

#### Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, certain officers and greater than 10% shareholders to file with the SEC certain reports regarding their beneficial ownership of our common stock. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of SEC filings, we believe that, with respect to fiscal year 2025, all such reports were filed timely.

#### Insider Trading Policy
Our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy which governs the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of securities by directors, officers, and employees, and is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, as well as applicable listing standards.

#### PROPOSAL 1: NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the annual meeting, four directors will be elected to serve for one year expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2027 and until their successors have been elected and qualified. Your proxy will be voted, unless you withhold authority to do so, for the election as directors of the persons named below, who have been nominated by our current board of directors.

Our bylaws provide that the board of directors shall be made up of no fewer than one nor more than ten directors. The current board of directors has determined that four directors are appropriate for the present time. Proxies cannot be voted for more than four nominees.

Each nominee has consented to being named as such in this proxy statement and is presently available for election. Our board of directors nominated all of the other existing members of our board to stand for re-election at the 2026 meeting.

If any nominee should become unavailable, the persons voting the accompanying proxy may, in their discretion, vote for a substitute. Additional information concerning the nominees, based on data furnished by them, is set forth below. Terry E. Trexler is the father of Thomas W. Trexler.

**The board of directors recommends a vote "for" the election of each of the following nominees. Proxies solicited by the board of directors will be so voted unless shareholders specify in their proxies a contrary choice.**

#### BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

#### Board Composition
Our board of directors is comprised of four members, half of whom are independent directors. Although the Company is currently listed on the OTCQX and not on a national securities exchange, the board of directors has elected to use the NASDAQ definition of independence for determining whether a director or nominee is independent. The board of directors has determined that our non-management directors, Robert Saltsman and Arthur Havener, Jr., are "independent" according to NASDAQ rules. During the fiscal year ended November 1, 2025, the board of directors held four (4) regular meetings. Our non-management directors meet in executive sessions without management on a regular basis. All directors attended all of the meetings of the board of directors and committees of the board on which they served.

#### Board Role in Risk Oversight
Our board is involved in the oversight of risks that could affect the Company. Although this oversight is conducted in part through the committees of the board as disclosed in the descriptions of the committees below and in the charters of each of the committees, the full board has retained responsibility for the general oversight of risks. The board satisfies this responsibility through full reports by each committee chair regarding the committee's considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company.

#### Risk Considerations in our Compensation Policies
Our board believes that our compensation policies and practices are reasonable and properly align our employees' interests with those of our shareholders. The board believes that the fact that incentive compensation for our executive officers and other employees is tied to earnings encourages actions that improve the Company's profitability over the short and long term. In addition, the compensation committee reviews changes to our compensation policies and practices to ensure that such policies and practices do not encourage our executive officers and other employees to take actions that are likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Company.

#### Board Committees
Our board of directors has established three standing committees: a compensation committee, an audit committee and a nominating committee. The board of directors has elected to use the NASDAQ definitions of independence with respect to determining independence of members of specific committees. The charter of each committee is available on our website at <u>www.nobilityhomes.com</u>.

<u>Compensation Committee</u>. The compensation committee is presently comprised of Arthur Havener and Robert Saltsman. The compensation committee evaluates the performance of the CEO and other executive officers and recommends to the board of directors the salaries and bonuses, if any, to be paid to the executive officers. The compensation committee met four (4) times during fiscal year 2025.

<u>Audit Committee</u>. The audit committee is presently comprised of Robert Saltsman and Arthur Havener, both of whom are considered independent under current NASDAQ rules. The audit committee has a written charter which establishes the scope of the committee's responsibilities and how it is to carry out those responsibilities. The audit committee charter charges the committee with overseeing management's conduct of our financial reporting process, including: (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and (3) the independence and performance of our external auditors. The audit committee met three (3) times during fiscal year 2025.

The board of directors has determined that Mr. Robert Saltsman is the audit committee financial expert.

<u>Nominating Committee</u>. The board of directors has established a nominating committee comprised of Robert Saltsman and Arthur Havener. The nominating committee will consider suggestions for potential director nominees nominated by our board from many sources, including management and our shareholders. Any such nominations, together with appropriate biographical information, should be submitted to the nominating committee no later than October 5, 2026 by sending a letter to our corporate secretary at 3741 S.W. 7th Street, Ocala, Florida 34474. The mailing envelope should contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a "Shareholder Nomination for Director." The nominating committee did not meet separately from the board of directors during fiscal year 2025.

In evaluating director nominees, including candidates submitted by shareholders, the nominating committee will consider the candidate's experience, integrity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, understanding of our business environment and willingness to devote adequate time to board duties. The nominating committee will also consider whether a candidate meets the definition of "independent director" under NASDAQ rules. There are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, and the nominating committee may also consider such other factors as it deems to be in the best interest of Nobility Homes and its shareholders.

#### EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

#### Overview
The compensation committee of our board of directors established, subject to the approval of the full board of directors, the compensation for our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, who are our only officers whose total compensation for the fiscal year ended November 1, 2025 exceeded $100,000. We refer to these individuals as the "named executive officers."

Because we are a small company, our compensation committee has sought to avoid the expense of retaining an outside compensation consultant to assist the committee with compensation plan design. The compensation committee takes into consideration recommendations of our CEO for compensation for officers other than our CEO.

<u>Base Salary</u>. The compensation committee sets salary levels for named executive officers so as to reflect the duties and level of responsibilities inherent in their positions and current economic conditions relating to our business. In establishing salary levels, the compensation committee considers the particular qualifications and level of experience of the individual.

At his request, our CEO's base salary has remained fixed for over twenty five fiscal years because a major incentive for his performance is the value of his substantial stock ownership in Nobility Homes. Our CFO receives the same base salary as our CEO. We have not increased our CFO's base salary since 2005.

<u>Quarterly Incentive Bonuses</u>. We provide certain employees, including the named executive officers, the opportunity to earn a quarterly incentive bonus based on an evaluation of the employee's individual performance and our performance. The bonus pool is based on a specified percentage of earnings before interest and taxes for the quarter. The bonus pool is divided among eligible employees on a discretionary basis. In considering bonuses for named executive officers other than the CEO, the compensation committee consults with our chairman and CEO regarding instances of exceptional effort demonstrated by an employee. No named executive officer is automatically entitled to a bonus or a bonus in any particular amount.

<u>Change of Control/Severance Arrangements</u>. None of the company's executive officers have any employment agreements or change of control/severance agreements.

(2) For fiscal years 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company's Non-PEO NEO was Thomas W. Trexler.

The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the board of directors in its oversight of management's conduct of our financial reporting process. The audit committee is presently comprised of Robert Saltsman and Arthur Havener, each of whom is "independent" under NASDAQ rules. For the fiscal year ended November 1, 2025 the audit committee:

• Reviewed and discussed our fiscal 2025 audited financial statements with management and representatives of dbbmckennon ("dbbmckennon"), our independent public accountants;

• Received the written disclosures and the letter from dbbmckennon mandated by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and discussed with dbbmckennon its independence; and

• Based on the foregoing review, discussions and disclosures, recommended to the board of directors that our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 1, 2025 be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year.

#### INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
On February 15, 2024, upon the approval of the Audit Committee, we engaged Hancock Askew & Co., LLP ("Hancock") as our independent registered public accounting. As previously reported, on May 1, 2025, we were notified that the audit practice of Hancock was combined with Baker Tilly US, LLP ("Baker Tilly") in a transaction pursuant to which Hancock combined its operations with Baker Tilly and certain of the professional staff and partners of Hancock joined Baker Tilly either as employees or principals of Baker Tilly. On May 1, 2025, Hancock resigned as the auditors and with the approval of the Audit Committee, Baker Tilly was engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm.

As previously reported, on August 19, 2025, the Audit Committee dismissed Baker Tilly as our independent certified public accounting. Baker Tilly did not provide any reports on our financial statements during the prior two fiscal years. During the period from the date of their appointment on May 1, 2025 through August 19, 2025, there were no disagreements with Baker Tilly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Baker Tilly would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports.

On August 19, 2025, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors engaged the independent accounting firm Michael Gillespie & Associates, PLLC ("MG&A") to serve as our independent certified public accounting firm effective immediately. On October 8, 2025, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors was advised by MG&A that it was resigning effective immediately. MG&A did not provide any reports on our financial statements during the prior two fiscal years. During the period from the date of their appointment on August 19, 2025 through October 8, 2025, there were no disagreements with MG&A on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MG&A would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports.

On October 31, 2025, the Audit Committee engaged the independent accounting firm of dbbmckennon ("dbbmckennon") to serve as its independent certified public accounting firm effective immediately. Representatives of dbbmckennon will not be present at the annual meeting.

The following table provides information relating to the fees billed by our auditors the fiscal year ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024 for services performed during the fiscal year.

All decisions regarding selection of independent accounting firms and approval of accounting services and fees are made by our audit committee in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

#### PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
In connection with the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank"), we are required to seek a shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation (commonly referred to as "say-on-pay") every 1, 2 or 3 years.

After careful consideration, our board has concluded that providing shareholders with an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years is the most appropriate policy for the Company at this time and recommends shareholders vote for future advisory votes on executive compensation to occur every three years. Voting every three years, rather than every one or two years, will provide shareholders with the opportunity to conduct thoughtful analyses of our compensation program over a period of time in relation to our long-term performance as our compensation program does not change significantly from year to year. A triennial vote cycle will provide shareholders with a more complete view of the amount and mix of components of the compensation paid to our named executive officers. A triennial vote will also provide us with sufficient time to evaluate and respond effectively to shareholder input, engage with shareholders to understand and respond to prior voting results and implement any appropriate changes to our program. In addition, a triennial vote will provide time to evaluate the effectiveness of our compensation program and any changes made to the program.

This advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is non-binding on the board of directors. Shareholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years or abstain. Shareholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the board's recommendation. Although non-binding, the board and the compensation committee will carefully review the voting results. Notwithstanding the board's recommendation and the outcome of the shareholder vote, the board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with shareholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs.

#### THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE TO CONDUCT FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EVERY THREE YEARS.

#### PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We are asking shareholders to approve an advisory resolution on the Company's 2025 executive compensation as reported in this proxy statement. Although this advisory vote is non-binding, our board and compensation committee will review the voting results.

We urge shareholders to read the section "Executive Compensation" included in this proxy statement, including the Summary Compensation Table included therein, which provides detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers.

Our board of directors proposes that you indicate your support for our compensation philosophy, policies, and procedures and their implementation in fiscal year 2025 as described in the "Executive Compensation" section of this proxy statement.

#### THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE FOLLOWING ADVISORY RESOLUTION ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION:
**RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Nobility Homes, Inc. (the "Company") approve the 2025 compensation of the Company's named executive officers as described in this proxy statement under the heading "Executive Compensation."**

#### TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
With the exception of the transactions set forth below, we were not a party to any transaction (in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our assets for the last two fiscal years) in which a director, executive officer, holder of one or more than five percent of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any such person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest and no such transactions are currently proposed.

Our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Terry Trexler, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Thomas Trexler, each own 50% of the stock of TLT, Inc., the general partner of limited partnerships which are developing manufactured housing communities in Central Florida. Sales to such communities during fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 were $0 and $221,620, respectively.

#### SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND

#### COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Any shareholder desiring to present a proposal to be included in our proxy statement for the next annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") should submit a written copy of such proposal to our principal offices no later than October 5, 2026, which is 120 calendar days prior to the anniversary of this year's mailing date. If the date of next year's annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of this year's annual meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail proxy materials. Proposals must comply with the proxy rules relating to shareholder proposals, in particular Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, in order to be included in our proxy materials.

If a shareholder wishes to present a proposal at our annual meeting in the year 2027 or to nominate one or more directors, and the proposal is not intended to be included in our proxy statement relating to that meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, the shareholder must give advance written notice to us prior to the deadline for such meeting determined in accordance with our bylaws. In general, our bylaws provide that such notice should be received at our principal offices by close of business no fewer than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of this year's mailing date. For purposes of our 2027 annual meeting, such notice must be received no later than the close of business on October 5, 2026.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the Company's bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company's nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than January 5, 2027, the date that is sixty days prior to the first anniversary of this year's annual meeting date, or if the date of the annual meeting has changed by more than thirty days from the prior year's annual meeting date, by the later of 60 calendar days prior to the date of the annual meeting or the tenth calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Company.

Proposals should be submitted by certified mail, return receipt requested.

Shareholders who wish to communicate with the board of directors or with a particular director may send a letter to our corporate secretary at 3741 S.W. 7th Street, Ocala, Florida 34474. The mailing envelope should contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a "Shareholder-Board Communication" or "Shareholder-Director Communication." All such letters should identify the author as a shareholder and clearly state whether the intended recipients are all members of the board or just certain specified individual directors. Our corporate secretary will make copies of all such letters and circulate them to the appropriate director or directors.

We do not have a formal policy requiring directors to attend annual meetings. However, because the annual meeting generally is held on the same day as a regular board meeting, we anticipate that directors will attend the annual meeting unless, for some reason, they are unable to attend the board meeting on the same date. All directors attended the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.
