**NVR, INC.**

**11700 Plaza America Drive**

**Suite 500**

**Reston, VA 20190**

**Proxy Statement**

This Proxy Statement, proxy card and the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022 are being mailed to our shareholders on or about March 15, 2023 in connection with the solicitation on behalf of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of NVR, Inc. ("NVR"), a Virginia corporation, of proxies for use at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, at our corporate headquarters located at 11700 Plaza America Drive, Suite 500, Reston, Virginia 20190, at 11:00 A.M., Eastern Time, and at any and all postponements and adjournements thereof. Shareholders should contact NVR's Investor Relations Department at the same address to obtain directions to be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

We bear the cost of proxy solicitation, including expenses in connection with preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy solicitation materials and all papers accompanying them. We may reimburse brokers or persons holding shares in their names or in the names of their nominees for their expenses in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain of our officers, directors and regular employees, who will receive no extra compensation for their services, may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile transmission, internet or personally. We have retained Georgeson Inc. to assist in the solicitation of brokers, bank nominees and institutional holders for a fee of approximately $9,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses.

All voting rights are vested exclusively in the holders of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2023 (the "Record Date") are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders include holders (the "Participants") owning stock in our Profit Sharing Trust Plan and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (together, the "Plans").

The accompanying proxy card should be used to instruct the persons named as proxies to vote the shareholder's shares in accordance with the shareholder's directions. The persons named in the accompanying proxy card will vote shares of Common Stock represented by all valid proxies in accordance with the instructions contained thereon. In the absence of instructions, shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **FOR** the election of the ten director nominees named in this Proxy Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **FOR** the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent auditor for 2023;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **FOR** the approval of the compensation paid to certain executive officers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "**1 Year**" for the frequency to conduct an advisory vote on the compensation paid to certain executive officers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in the discretion of the named proxies with respect to any other matters presented at the Annual Meeting.

If a shareholder holds shares in a brokerage account or through a broker, bank, trust or other nominee, the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") prohibit the nominee from voting the shareholder's shares on any proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, other than ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent auditor, unless the nominee has received an instruction from the shareholder regarding how the shares should be voted. Any shares for which an instruction has not been received will result in a "broker non-vote" on the proposal for which no instruction was provided.

For a quorum to exist at the Annual Meeting, holders of shares representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on each matter must be present in person or by proxy. Shares voted "abstain" or represented by a broker non-vote on a matter will be considered present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of establishing a quorum. For a director to be deemed elected, the director must receive a majority of votes cast "for" and "against" the director's election. Similarly for other proposals, the proposal must receive a majority of votes cast "for" and "against" the proposal. For these proposals, therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

We strongly encourage all of our shareholders who hold shares of Common Stock in a brokerage account or through any other nominee to provide voting instructions to their broker, bank, trustee or other nominee to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.

Any shareholder may revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to its use by (1) providing our Secretary, at 11700 Plaza America Drive, Suite 500, Reston, Virginia 20190, written notice of revocation, (2) duly executing a proxy card bearing a later date than the date of the previously duly executed proxy card, or (3) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person

------

(attendance at the Annual Meeting alone will not act to revoke a prior proxy card). Execution of the enclosed proxy card will not affect your right to vote in person if you should later decide to attend the Annual Meeting.

The proxy card also should be used by Participants to instruct the trustee of the Plans how to vote shares of Common Stock held on their behalf. The trustee is required under the trust agreement to establish procedures to ensure that the instructions received from Participants are held in confidence and not divulged, released or otherwise utilized in a manner that might influence the Participants' free exercise of their voting rights. Proxy cards representing shares held by Participants must be returned to the tabulator by April 27, 2023 using the enclosed return envelope and should not be returned to NVR. If shares are owned through the Plans and the Participant does not submit voting instructions by April 27, 2023, the trustee of the Plans will vote such shares in the same proportion as the voting instructions received from other Participants. Participants who wish to revoke a proxy will need to contact the trustee and follow its instructions.

As of the Record Date, we had a total of 3,247,521 shares of Common Stock outstanding, each share of which is entitled to one vote. The presence, either in person or by proxy, of persons entitled to vote a majority of the outstanding Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Under our Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, holders of Common Stock are not entitled to vote such shares on a cumulative basis, including with respect to the voting for directors.

**Company Overview**

**Who We Are**

We are one of the largest homebuilders in the United States. We operate in thirty-five metropolitan areas in fifteen states, and Washington, D.C. Our homebuilding operations include the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings under three trade names: Ryan Homes, NVHomes and Heartland Homes. Our Ryan Homes product is marketed primarily to first-time and first-time move-up buyers. Our NVHomes and Heartland Homes products are marketed primarily to move-up and luxury buyers. In addition to selling and building homes, we provide a number of mortgage-related services through our wholly owned subsidiary, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. ("NVRM"). Through operations in each of our homebuilding markets, NVRM originates mortgage loans almost exclusively for our homebuyers.

**2022 Corporate Sustainability Highlights**

Our Board believes that corporate responsibility and business sustainability go hand in hand at NVR. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Nominating Committee") is responsible for setting our Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") strategy and overseeing the mitigation of ESG risks as part of our strong governance framework. In 2022, the Nominating Committee received briefings on ESG matters from our management team in each of its four regularly scheduled meetings. Topics discussed during 2022 included shareholder feedback and priorities related to ESG matters, regulatory proposals, monitoring of ESG industry developments, and our Responsible Building Policy and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB") Disclosures, which is available on our website.

NVR has four sustainability priorities: continuing our strong commitment to our people, minimizing the impact of our operations on the environment, building sustainable communities and managing risk.![nvr-20230310_g3.jpg](nvr-20230310_g3.jpg)

**People**

*Safety:* Our employees are our most important asset, and the safety of our employees is our first priority. Our concern for safety goes beyond our employees, extending to our customers and trade partners. Construction presents a demanding environment and we strive to ensure that all of our employees, customers and trade partners go home safely every single day.

We produce large portions of our houses in eight centralized production facilities, which promotes safety by decreasing exposure to lumber cuts and by consistently applying our safe work protocols. We provide ongoing training and employ strict safe building practices. All new hires undergo a two day safety orientation followed by additional training at 30, 60 and 90 days, along with ongoing regular safety meetings. Over the last ten years, our production facilities maintained a safety incident rate approximately 40% lower than the industry average.

We maintain robust safety and training programs to ensure that safety is an integral part of our onsite construction process. We perform frequent and regular construction site inspections to ensure our safety processes and procedures are being followed. We conduct semi-annual unannounced safety audits at all of our homebuilding divisions. The audits assess compliance with OSHA standards and company safety policies. The results of these audits are reviewed by our senior management team, and division management is responsible for updating safety processes and procedures as needed based on the results. We maintain a rigorous enforcement program to hold our management and trade partners accountable for non-compliant actions. We also engage directly with our trade partners to ensure they have input regarding the safety of their employees on our construction sites.

*Development & Advancement:* We provide advancement opportunities for our employees by offering training and development that aligns with each employee's responsibilities and career path. Managers provide frequent performance coaching through a formal process to develop our employees and enhance our succession planning. The substantial majority of our leadership fulfillments are from within our workforce. We believe this focus provides both long-term success and continuity to our operations and growth for our employees. Our results in this area are demonstrated by the tenure of our executives and our regional and division leaders.

*Diversity & Inclusion:* Diversity and inclusion is an important part of our culture. We are committed to hiring and developing an inclusive workplace with a strong diversity of backgrounds and perspectives. Our culture is about creating opportunities for growth, a sense of belonging and operating with the highest level of integrity.

**Environmentally Responsible Building**

*Sourcing & Design:* Our centralized production facilities enable us to have significant control over the sourcing of raw materials. For example, lumber is one of our most important raw materials, and centralization allows us to purchase a significant amount of lumber from sustainable forests. Currently, approximately 80% of our lumber spending is from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or similar certified sustainable forests. When we source intermediate and finished goods for our homes, we also strive to source sustainably. For example, the cabinets we install in our homes are "Green-Approved" certified by the NAHB Research Center and certified by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association under its Environmental Stewardship Program.

We also use materials in our homes that promote greater resource efficiency. For instance, the floor, wall and roof sheathing that we use is engineered lumber, not plywood, which allows us to use the entire tree. Much of the waste that we create from our raw lumber is recycled.

*Production facilities:* We produce large portions of our homes in our centralized production facilities, including wall panels, roof trusses and stairs, which allows us to reduce waste, effectively recycle materials, and improve accuracy and consistency in our construction. Our production processes use computer-driven saws that maximize the use of raw lumber to fabricate roof trusses and wall panels, resulting in an extremely low waste factor. We use advanced framing techniques recommended for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building certification and use highly-sophisticated material takeoff and sourcing techniques to reduce waste. Our framing waste factor is within the LEED-H & National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) Green Guidelines.

We also strategically locate our production facilities in close proximity to our communities to reduce freight, road congestion and fuel consumption and minimize air pollution. We have eight such production facilities and are adding a ninth in Fayetteville, NC, which we believe is a clear indication of our commitment to environmentally friendly production. We continually update our production processes to enhance vertical integration, which results in significantly fewer shipments to our job sites and reduced fuel usage.

------

*Recycling:* We recycle materials in our production processes whenever possible. We recycle cardboard, metal and wooden pallets as part of our recycling program, which significantly reduces the amount of materials that end up going to landfills. We optimize our lumber cuts to minimize lumber scrap and work with lumber recyclers to repurpose our lumber scrap.

*Responsibility:* We are responsible stewards of our own land; no run-off or by-product discharge is created from our processes at our production facilities. We utilize an extensive storm water management system and have implemented erosion and sediment controls on all of our construction sites to manage storm water run-off. We also perform semi-annual unannounced environmental audits at construction sites in which we assess compliance with company policies and federal, state and local clean water standards. The results of the audits are reviewed by our senior management team and local management is responsible for updating environmental processes and procedures as needed based on the results. We maintain a rigorous enforcement program to hold our management and our trade partners accountable for non-compliant actions. We actively monitor the regulatory environment with respect to environmental and climate disclosures and have hired outside advisors to assist us in proactively preparing for compliance with emerging requirements.

**Sustainable Communities**

*Energy Efficient & Affordable Homes:* We design our homes under our BuiltSmart program, which has been designed to highlight the quality, livability and energy efficiency that go into our home designs. Our building practices and standards result in a lower long-term carbon footprint for our homes and communities. Our homes use resources as efficiently as possible while providing durable structures that will last for generations. We believe that building our homes to use less energy, water and other natural resources is an important way we can have a lasting sustainability impact.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, more than half of all energy consumed in the types of homes we build is used to heat and cool. We reduce our homes' energy demand through the use of air and moisture infiltration systems, high-efficiency windows, engineered air handling systems to minimize imbalance and loss, and the use of insulation that meets or exceeds local building requirements. We then deliver heating and cooling with high-efficiency heating and air conditioning systems and install programmable thermostats in each home to help homeowners reduce their energy usage.

We also install integrated LED light fixtures and bulbs to use 25-80% less energy than traditional lighting, and create less waste due to a lifespan that is 10-20 times longer than a traditional light bulb.

All of our homes are tested using the RESNET standard for energy efficiency by an independent third-party. For 2022, 100% of our homes built were more energy efficient than a standard new home (as defined by the Home Energy Rating System, or HERS), and were on average over 40% more efficient than the standard new home.

*Reduce Water Needs:* We use high-efficiency tankless water heaters to provide on-demand hot water, resulting in a significant energy use reduction for homeowners. We use faucets and shower heads that are certified to the EPA WaterSense program, reducing the consumption of water by up to 20%, and we install landscaping using native plants and materials to reduce the need for extra irrigation.

*Home Ownership:* Since 1948, our passion and purpose has been in building beautiful places people love to call home, and we have built more than 530,000 homes in that time. We bring the dream of affordable home ownership to first time buyers, move-up buyers, empty nesters and active adults, and are a leading builder in diverse areas in our footprint such as Washington D.C. and Baltimore, MD. We build homes in thirty-five metropolitan areas in fifteen states and included in those areas are a number of traditionally underserved markets. In addition, we actively support low and moderate income households through state and local affordable housing initiatives. Our mortgage banking operations lending practices are conducted in accordance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Fair Housing Act, and approximately 52% of FHA loans closed in 2022 were made in underserved markets. We know that engaging and supporting our communities throughout the building process and beyond enhances the long term sustainability and value creation of our business.

As a result of our sustainability efforts, some of our homes have achieved a level of efficiency and sustainability that allows us to sell the mortgage loans we close on such homes to Fannie Mae for inclusion in their "green bond" mortgage backed securities. At present, we are one of seven builders whose mortgages are included in this Fannie Mae program. For more information on this program, visit the Fannie Mae website at https://www.fanniemae.com/about-us/esg/green-bonds.

**Risk Management**

*Strategy:* Two of the key differentiators that contribute to our success are our market concentration strategy and our lot acquisition strategy. We focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our markets, which we believe contributes to minimizing the adverse effects of regional economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these markets.

------

With respect to our lot acquisition strategy, we generally do not engage in direct land ownership or land development. Instead, we typically acquire finished building lots from various third party land developers pursuant to fixed price finished lot purchase agreements ("LPAs") that require deposits that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the LPAs. The deposits required under the LPAs are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and typically range up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. We believe that our lot acquisition strategy avoids the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development. In this way, we operate in a much less capital intensive manner than most other homebuilders.

*Capital Allocation:* Our strategy described above is the key driver of our strong balance sheet that, over the long-term, maximizes shareholder value in a cyclical industry. We were the only publicly traded homebuilder that remained profitable through the 2006-2011 housing downturn, the most severe since the Great Depression of the 1930s. That outperformance in a recessionary period was a direct result of our strategy. In 2022, we continued our robust share repurchase program by repurchasing over $1.5 billion of outstanding stock, while maintaining a strong balance sheet with a **<u>net</u>** cash balance in excess of $1.6 billion at December 31, 2022. Our strong balance sheet enables us to weather future business disruptions and take advantage of opportunities that may arise from future economic and homebuilding market volatility.

*Corporate Governance:* We are committed to having sound corporate governance principles and practices. Having and acting on that commitment is essential to the long term sustainability of our business and to maintaining our integrity in the marketplace. During 2022, our Board was actively engaged in overseeing the rapidly shifting risk environment brought on by changes in interest rates and the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the year, directors met formally five times, and worked closely with management to monitor the resilience of the business, supply chain issues and the welfare of our employees, customers and trade partners.

We have three female independent directors on our Board, and have a broad diversity of backgrounds and perspectives within our boardroom. Our Board and management regularly consider board refreshment and we have a robust board self-evaluation process. These practices ensure we strike the right balance between long-term understanding of our business, business experience, tenure and fresh external perspectives.

**Sustainability is an Ongoing NVR Priority** 

We are committed to our priorities of people, environmentally responsible building, sustainable communities and risk management. The actions we have described here are a small part of what we do every day to fulfill our corporate responsibility and enhance our business sustainability. These important topics will continue to evolve, and so will our active approach to addressing these topics as part of our strong governance framework.

We believe profitability and sustainability go hand-in-hand; we are more profitable because we operate sustainably, and we are more sustainable because we operate profitably. While the examples we provide in this proxy are focused on current and recent practices, the fundamentals of our sustainable strategy have been the very underpinning of our business success. The 1,313% return our shareholders have enjoyed over the last 20 years is a testament to the success of our strategy.

**Majority Vote Standard**

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board expects a director to tender his or her resignation if he or she fails to receive the required number of votes for re-election. Under these guidelines, the Board shall nominate for re-election as a director only candidates who agree to tender their resignation if they fail to receive the required number of votes for re-election. In addition, the Board shall fill director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender their resignation if they fail to receive the required number of votes for re-election.

If a director fails to be re-elected by a majority of votes cast, the Nominating Committee shall promptly consider the resignation offer of any such director and recommend to the Board whether to accept the tendered resignation or reject it. The Board shall take action with respect to the Nominating Committee's recommendation no later than 90 days following the submission of any such resignation offer. Following the Board's action regarding the Nominating Committee's recommendation, we will promptly file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") which shall detail the Board's decision regarding a tendered resignation. This report shall include an explanation of the process by which the Board's decision was reached and the reasons for the Board's decision.

To the extent that one or more directors' resignations are accepted by the Board, the Nominating Committee will recommend to the Board whether to fill the vacancy or vacancies or to reduce the size of the Board.

The Board expects that any director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to this policy will not participate in the Nominating Committee recommendation or Board action regarding whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation. If, however, a majority of the members of the Nominating Committee fails to receive the required number of votes for re-election in the election, the independent directors who did not fail to receive the required number of votes for re-election shall form a committee amongst themselves for the purposes of evaluating the tendered resignations and recommending to the Board whether to accept or reject them.

**Required Vote**

Each director shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast in the election at the Annual Meeting, assuming that a quorum is present. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted "for" a director must exceed the number of shares voted "against" that director. Unless marked otherwise, proxies received will be voted **FOR** the election of the ten nominees designated above. Shareholders may abstain from voting for any particular nominee by so indicating in the space provided on the accompanying proxy card. An abstention will not be counted as a vote cast "for" or "against" a director's election.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTING "FOR" ALL OF THE FOREGOING NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS OF NVR.**

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND BOARD MATTERS**

We are committed to having sound corporate governance principles and practices. Having and acting on that commitment is essential to running our business efficiently and to maintaining our integrity in the marketplace. Our primary corporate governance documents, including our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Ethics and all of our Board Committee Charters, are available to the public on our website at www.nvrinc.com.

------

The following are highlights of our Corporate Governance practices:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Separate Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer positions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual elections for all directors

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Majority voting standard for uncontested elections

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Nine of the ten director nominees are independent

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Independent lead director

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Shareholder proxy access

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual Board and Committee evaluations

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Robust NVR stock ownership requirements for named executive officers and directors

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Robust pre-clearance process for trading NVR stock during open trading windows

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prohibition against short sales, hedging or pledging of NVR stock by named executive officers and directors

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prohibition against named executive officers and directors owning NVR debt

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No poison pill or other anti-takeover provisions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Independent compensation consultant

**Board Leadership Structure, Committee Composition and Role in Risk Oversight**

<u>Board Leadership Structure</u> 

*Separate Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Executive Chairman of the Board ("Chairman")*

We seek to maintain an appropriate balance between management and our Board. In 2005, we separated the roles of the Chairman and the CEO. Currently, Mr. Saville serves as Chairman, and Eugene J. Bredow serves as CEO. Our CEO is not a Board member. Our Board believes that this structure provides a bridge between management and the Board, as Mr. Saville is well-positioned to bring key business issues and stockholder interests to the Board's attention, given his in-depth understanding of our business. Mr. Saville continues to provide strategic direction in this role while Mr. Bredow provides operational direction. This structure also helps ensure accountability for the actions and strategic direction of NVR.

While the Board retains the discretion to combine the roles of Chairman and CEO, as from time to time it may be in our best interests, we expect that the roles of Chairman and CEO will remain separated for the foreseeable future. Our separate Chairman and CEO roles allow us to effectively manage the business and we believe the structure is a key driver in maintaining our sound corporate governance principles. All of our Board members other than our Chairman are independent.

*Independent Lead Director*

Our Board has an independent lead director who provides independent oversight of senior management and Board matters. We believe having an independent lead director is an important governance practice given that our Board's Chairman, Mr. Saville, is not independent. The selection of an independent lead director is meant to facilitate, and not to inhibit, communication among the directors or between any of them, our Chairman and our CEO. Accordingly, directors are encouraged to continue to communicate among themselves and directly with the Chairman and the CEO. Our independent lead director position rotates annually among the chairs of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating Committees. We believe rotating the role of independent lead director is beneficial to our Board and our stockholders because it provides a fresh perspective to the role on a rotating basis.

The independent lead director's role is critical to ensure the Board is able to carry out its responsibilities effectively and independently of management. The authority and responsibilities of the independent lead director include, but are not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Presides over meetings of our independent directors and provides feedback to the Chairman and the CEO, as needed, following such meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Presides over meetings of our Board if the Chairman is not present; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Communicates with shareholders where appropriate.

------

Mr. Andrews, the Chair of our Audit Committee, currently serves as our independent lead director and has extensive executive leadership experience. After the 2023 Annual Meeting, we expect to appoint the chair of the Compensation Committee as our independent lead director, to serve in such role until the 2024 Annual Meeting. The Board believes that this leadership structure optimizes the roles of Chairman, CEO and independent lead director and provides the Company with sound corporate governance in the management of its business.

<u>Director Attendance at Meetings</u>

Our Board holds regular meetings at least quarterly. During 2022, the Board met six times.

Our Board requires that our directors attend each Board and Committee meeting in person, unless personal circumstances affecting a director make such attendance impractical or inappropriate. Each of our current Board members attended 100% of the Board meetings and the meetings of Committees of which he or she was a member during 2022.

Our Board also requires that all current directors and all nominees for election to our Board attend in person our annual meetings of shareholders, unless personal circumstances affecting such director or director nominee make such attendance impractical or inappropriate. Each of our then-serving directors attended the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in person.

<u>Executive Sessions of the Board</u>

Our full Board met twice during 2022 in executive session. Dwight C. Schar (our Chairman of the Board through May 4, 2022) chaired the first executive session in February 2022. Following his appointment as Executive Chairman on May 4, 2022, Mr. Saville chaired the subsequent executive session.

Our independent directors met once during 2022 in executive session without the presence of the non-independent directors or management. Mr. Andrews, our independent lead director in 2022, chaired the executive session of the independent directors.

Our Audit Committee meets in executive sessions at each Audit Committee meeting, separately with (1) our external auditor, (2) the Vice President of Internal Audit and Corporate Governance and (3) the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer. The Chair of the Audit Committee chaired these executive sessions.

<u>Board Role in Risk Oversight</u>

Our Board as a whole oversees our business risks and operational performance through regularly scheduled Board and Committee meetings, as well as through frequent and informal communications between management and the Board. Our Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but directly oversees risk management, as well as through various standing committees that address risk inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, a primary function of our Board as set forth in the Company's corporate governance guidelines is to review assessments of, and management's plans with respect to, significant risks facing the Company, and our Audit Committee monitors the Company's policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management and discusses the same periodically with management.

Further, our Bylaws and each of the various Board Committee Charters provide additional detail regarding the areas, duties and functions for which the Board or a Board Committee provides specific oversight of specified areas of risk. That oversight includes a variety of operational and regulatory matters, including, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Approval of the annual business plan and the periodic review of our actual performance in comparison to the approved plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Review and analysis of our operational and financial performance compared to our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Review of our five year business plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our land acquisition process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Approval of short-term and long-term management incentive compensation plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Review of succession planning throughout our organization for key management positions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Oversight of our information security program, designed to enhance business continuity, protect confidential information and implement best practices to mitigate cybersecurity risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Oversight of our ESG strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Review of our response to new laws, rules or regulations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Direct oversight of our internal audit function and our whistleblower hotline.

------

Discussions in Board meetings are enhanced by direct lines of communication for Board members with members of the management team responsible for various compliance matters, risk mitigation and strategy. Among other roles, we have a Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Chief Ethics Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, a Vice President of Internal Audit and Corporate Governance, a Chief Accounting Officer, a Chief Information Officer, a Chief Information Security Officer and a General Counsel, each of whom directly communicate with the Board on various matters regarding risk management, when and where appropriate.

Specifically:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Senior Vice President of Human Resources regularly communicates with the Chair of the Compensation Committee on compensation matters and succession planning;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Chief Information Officer communicates directly with members of the Audit Committee and Board on cybersecurity matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Chief Accounting Officer communicates directly with members of the Audit Committee on emerging accounting and disclosure topics and matters; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Vice President of Internal Audit and Corporate Governance communicates with members of our Audit Committee on internal control matters and with members of our Board on governance matters.

We believe regular communications with the Board outside of Board meetings is an important aspect of our compliance strategy and sound risk oversight practices. Below is a discussion of how the Board oversees certain of our more significant business risks.

*<u>Land Acquisition</u>*

We believe our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build. With this as a critical aspect of our continued success, management and the Board believe the full Board should be closely involved in our land acquisition strategy. The full Board, therefore, has retained direct oversight responsibility for our land acquisition process, rather than such process being delegated to a Board committee. We expend substantial monetary resources to place deposits under lot purchase contracts, typically ranging up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. Our lot acquisition policy is a Board-approved policy that requires Board approval of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Lot purchase contracts above certain parameters, measured by the aggregate size of the deposit or investment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Contracts to acquire raw land above certain parameters, measured by aggregate size of the investment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Joint venture investments above certain parameters, measured by aggregate size of the investment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Related-party lot purchase contracts (see "**Transactions with Related Persons**" below).

*<u>Liquidity</u>*

In a cyclical industry, it is imperative that we focus on our liquidity needs throughout the various stages of the cycle, while maintaining a prudent and efficient capital structure. Accordingly, our full Board has retained the lead role in ensuring that management prudently manages our cash, through the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A Board-approved investment policy that specifies the types of investments allowed for our excess cash;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pre-approval of stock repurchases and debt repurchases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pre-approval of capital transactions for the issuance of long-term debt or equity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A Board review of our short-term and long-term cash needs in connection with its reviews of our quarterly forecasts and our annual and five year business plans.

*<u>Financial Reporting, Internal Control and Regulatory Matters</u>*

Our Audit Committee takes a lead role in overseeing risks as enumerated within its Committee Charter, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Internal Audit function performs a primary role in risk management. Our Vice President of Internal Audit and Corporate Governance reports directly to the Audit Committee, and the Audit Committee formally approves the annual internal audit budget and staffing.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Audit Committee approves the annual internal audit plan, which is prepared using a comprehensive risk-based approach. Each year, our Vice President of Internal Audit and Corporate Governance presents our risk assessment to the Audit Committee. The annual risk assessment includes detailed discussions with senior management focused on operational and internal control risks. As part of this process, management consults with outside advisors where appropriate to provide insights into evolving and emerging risks. We present to the Audit Committee the results of this risk assessment along with a detailed summary of our risk mitigation strategies for each risk.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On a quarterly basis, our Vice President of Internal Audit and Corporate Governance reviews with the Audit Committee the results of all internal audits of controls over accounting, operations, information technology and cybersecurity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Audit Committee reviews our cybersecurity processes, including ongoing initiatives, current threats and our response readiness. In 2022, our Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer presented updates on our cybersecurity initiatives quarterly; three times to our Audit Committee and once to our full Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On a quarterly basis, our Vice President of Internal Audit and Corporate Governance and our external auditor each have a private session with the Audit Committee without the presence of management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Management reports to the Audit Committee any governmental regulatory reviews or audits conducted on our operations, including mortgage regulatory matters and SEC comment letters. The Audit Committee also obtains a report from management at the conclusion of any such review.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Audit Committee monitors compliance with our Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Conduct.

*<u>ESG Matters</u>*

The Nominating Committee is responsible for setting our ESG strategy and overseeing the mitigation of ESG risks as part of our strong governance framework. In 2022, management briefed our Nominating Committee on ESG matters in each of the Committee's four regularly scheduled meetings, including a discussion of the following topics:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NVR's Responsible Building Policy and Practices document, which describes our commitment to responsible building practices including sustainability and energy efficiency. This policy is available to the public on our website at www.nvrinc.com;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Shareholder feedback and priorities related to ESG matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Peer group ESG disclosures; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ESG reporting frameworks.

The Nominating Committee considers our shareholders' views and perspectives as part of the decision-making process on key ESG issues, taking into account the feedback from our management's active monitoring of the broader ESG environment.

**Board Independence**

Our Board has established director independence standards to assist us in determining director independence, which standards meet the independence requirements of the NYSE corporate governance listing standards. Our independence standards are included within our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on our website at www.nvrinc.com. Our Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination. As required by the rules of the NYSE, for a director to be considered "independent" under our independence standards, our Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with us (other than as a director), directly or indirectly.

Our Board has affirmatively determined that our directors and director nominees, other than Mr. Saville, are independent pursuant to our independence standards. Mr. Saville, our Executive Chairman, has been determined by our Board not to be "independent".

When our Board analyzed the independence of its members, it considered relevant transactions, relationships and arrangements, including those specified in the NYSE listing standards and our independence guidelines. The Board considered that certain directors serve as directors or employees of other companies with which we engage in ordinary course of business transactions. In accordance with our independence standards, none of these relationships constitute material relationships that would impair the independence of these directors.

------

**Board Committees**

Our Board has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating Committee, and Executive Committee. The members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee are independent under the applicable rules of the NYSE and the SEC. Each Committee operates pursuant to a written Committee Charter adopted by our Board, which is available at www.nvrinc.com. Board members serving on our Committees are shown in the table below.

The Audit Committee performs the following functions:

***Compensation Committee***

The Compensation Committee performs the following functions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reviews and determines all compensation of our Executive Chairman and CEO and, based in part on the recommendation of the CEO, of our other executive officers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Obtains advice and assistance from compensation consultants that it determines to be necessary to carry out its duties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Periodically reviews and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of our directors;

The Compensation Committee may delegate to a senior executive officer of NVR the authority to grant equity awards to employees other than executive officers, within limits prescribed by the full Board. The Compensation Committee, by resolution, delegated authority to our Executive Chairman or CEO, acting jointly with the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, to grant equity awards to new and existing employees (other than executive officers) during 2022. Management is required to report any equity awards granted pursuant to this delegated authority to the Compensation Committee at its next scheduled meeting after the delegated authority is exercised.

The Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to one or more members of the Compensation Committee. Any person to whom authority is delegated must report any actions taken by him or her to the full Compensation Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. During 2022, the Compensation Committee did not delegate any of its authority to any individual member.

The Compensation Committee has the authority and available funding to retain any compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other expert adviser to assist in the evaluation of directors and executive officers' compensation, as our Compensation Committee deems necessary to carry out its duties.

<u>Compensation Consultants</u>

For a description of the role of the compensation consultant during 2022, see *Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Compensation Determination Process* below.

<u>Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation</u>

Ms. Ross and Messrs. Eckert, Preiser and Rosier were members of the Compensation Committee during 2022. During 2022, none of our executive officers served as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that had one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or our Compensation Committee. Thus, there were no interlocks with other companies within the meaning of Item 407(e)(4) of SEC Regulation S-K during 2022.

------

***Nominating Committee***

The Nominating Committee performs the following functions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Identifies individuals qualified to become Board members, including diversity of our members;

The Nominating Committee also has the sole authority and available funding to obtain advice and assistance from executive search firms, and internal or outside legal, accounting or other expert advisors that it determines necessary to carry out its duties.

<u>Criteria for Nomination to the Board of Directors</u>

The Nominating Committee will consider shareholder nominees as described in our Policies and Procedures for the Consideration of Board of Director Candidates, which is available at www.nvrinc.com. These policies and procedures include minimum qualifications for director nominees and the process for identifying and evaluating director nominees, including nominees submitted by our security holders.

The Nominating Committee has a stated goal of selecting director nominees who have high personal and professional integrity, have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment, and who will be effective in serving the long-term interests of NVR and our shareholders, and who otherwise meet the standards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. In selecting director nominees, the Committee will assess the nominee's independence status relative to the Company, and will consider the nominee's qualifications in the areas of skills, education, knowledge, perspective, broad business judgment and leadership, relevant industry or regulatory affairs knowledge, business creativity, strategy and vision, experience, age and diversity, all in the context of the perceived needs of the Board at that time.

Ideal candidates will encourage and challenge our management team to operate the business in a manner that maximizes shareholder value, and leads to high customer satisfaction, a diverse and inclusive workforce, a safe work environment for all employees, and sustainable communities, all of which lead to a sustainable business.

Attributes that the Nominating Committee seeks to have represented on the Board include, but are not limited to, executive leadership experience, financial expertise, homebuilding/construction/real estate experience, public board experience, cybersecurity expertise, brand marketing expertise, mergers and acquisitions expertise, turnaround/restructuring experience, and government/regulatory expertise.

<u>Proxy Access</u>

Our Bylaws allow eligible shareholders to propose director nominees for inclusion in the proxy statement in addition to the nominees proposed by the Board. The proxy access bylaw permits shareholders owning 3% or more of our common stock for at least three years, to nominate up to 20% of our Board. The number of shareholders who may aggregate their shares to meet the 3% ownership threshold is limited to 20. The shareholder(s) and nominees(s) must also satisfy the other requirements in our Bylaws.

***Executive Committee***

The Executive Committee was established pursuant to our Bylaws to have such powers, authority and responsibilities as may be determined by a majority of our Board. The Executive Committee has never met, nor has our Board ever delegated any powers, authority or responsibilities to the Executive Committee. Our Board intends to continue the practice of considering corporate matters outside the scope of our other existing Board committees at the full Board level.

------

**Annual Board and Committee Evaluations**

***Annual Board Evaluations***

The members of the Board conduct an annual evaluation to assess the Board's effectiveness and performance. The results are reviewed by the Board, which considers the results and any ways in which Board effectiveness may be enhanced.

***Annual Committee Evaluations***

The members of each committee conduct an annual evaluation to assess each committee's compliance with its charter, effectiveness and performance. The results are reviewed by the members of the applicable committee, which considers the results and any ways in which the committee's effectiveness may be enhanced.

**Communications with the Board of Directors**

Our Policies and Procedures Regarding Communications with the NVR, Inc. Board of Directors, the Independent Lead Director and the Non-Management Directors as a Group are available at www.nvrinc.com.

Shareholders and other interested parties may contact an individual director by mail at the following address: 11700 Plaza America Drive, Suite 500, Reston, VA 20190. All mail received will be opened and screened by our management. We generally will not forward to directors a shareholder or interested party communication that is unrelated to the duties of the Board, including junk mail, mass mailings, customer complaints, surveys and business solicitation.

**Role of Shareholder Engagement in Corporate Governance**

We have an extensive history of conducting shareholder outreach. During 2022, our engagement with shareholders encompassed a variety of topics including executive officer and director compensation, ESG disclosures, our CEO transition and director tenure.

We value feedback we receive from our shareholders and we consider such feedback in evaluating our corporate governance and compensation policies. In 2022, we implemented two substantive changes following our engagement with shareholders:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Removal of director performance metric** - We issued equity to our directors in 2022 with vesting subject only to continued service as a Director, and eliminated the NVR return on capital performance metric as a criterion for vesting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Director tenure** - We reduced the average tenure of directors and the size of our Board through three director retirements, and nominating ten directors for election to our Board, down from twelve in the prior year.

We believe our proactive engagement with shareholders in 2022 and our responsiveness to feedback in these key areas demonstrate our strong desire to align our sound corporate governance principles with the best interests of our shareholders.

**Review, Approval or Ratification of Related Person Transactions**

We have a policy that requires that all related person (as defined by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) transactions be considered, reviewed and approved or ratified by the disinterested, independent members of our Board, regardless of the type of transaction or amount involved. Under this policy, the related person must notify the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of any proposed transaction with a related person. The CFO must seek approval of the disinterested, independent members of the Board for any related person transaction. The disinterested, independent directors must review the material facts before determining whether to approve or ratify the transaction. This requirement is set forth in Section 7.05 of our Bylaws (available on our website at www.nvrinc.com), Sections 1 and 4 of our Code of Ethics (available on our website at www.nvrinc.com), and our Human Resources Policies and Procedures and Financial Policies and Procedures.

**Transactions with Related Persons**

During 2022, we purchased 642 developed lots for approximately $102,125,000 from Elm Street Development, Inc. ("Elm Street") at market prices. Elm Street is controlled by William A. Moran, a former non-independent director who retired from our Board effective May 4, 2022. The 642 developed lots purchased from Elm Street are approximately 3% of the 20,867 lots we purchased during 2022. The independent members of our Board approved these transactions.

**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes our executive compensation philosophy and program for our named executive officers in 2022.

**Executive Summary**

Homebuilding is a cyclical business with long project life cycles. As such, our executive compensation program is structured to focus our executives on long-term performance, not short-term quarterly or annual performance. Key features of our compensation program include:

**<u>Compensation designed for the business.</u>** The key principle of our compensation philosophy is pay for performance, and our executive compensation program is designed to focus our executives on long-term performance, not short-term quarterly or annual performance. Our program is a significant tool in long-term retention of our executive officers and key employees. Our program isn't structured like most other companies, and we believe that is a significant competitive advantage.

**<u>Compensation program is shareholder aligned.</u>** We have structured our program to create long-term alignment with our shareholders through moderate cash compensation, significant long-term equity incentives in the form of stock options and robust stock ownership requirements. By issuing stock options rather than restricted stock units, the executives realize no value unless the stock price increases between the grant date and the vesting date. We believe this provides 100% alignment with our shareholders.

**<u>Consistent compensation philosophy.</u>** For more than 25 years, our compensation philosophy has remained consistent and has focused our management team on long term maximization of shareholder value. Our performance clearly demonstrates the success of our compensation practices, with a 25 year total shareholder return of 20,986%, compared to the S&P 500 Index total shareholder return of 529% during the same period.

**<u>Executive compensation program is simple in design.</u>** The compensation program for our executive officers includes three components: base salary, annual performance-based cash bonus, and long-term equity-based compensation. We do not provide perquisites and our program design does not allow for above-target incentive payouts.

**<u>We made a periodic equity grant in May 2022.</u>** Consistent with our past practice, we made a periodic equity grant to named executive officers, key managers and Directors in May 2022. Our last periodic equity grant prior to 2022 was made in 2018. For named executive officers and key managers, 50% of the vesting for our equity awards granted are subject to NVR's return on capital performance. After considering feedback received from our shareholders, we granted stock options to our Directors with vesting subject only to continued service as a Director, and eliminated the NVR return on capital performance metric as a criterion for vesting.

**<u>Independent compensation consultant.</u>** Our Compensation Committee utilizes an independent compensation consultant in evaluating the targeted annual compensation for our named executive officers.

**<u>Annual incentives in 2022 were paid at 80% of target.</u>** We exceeded our target for pre-tax profit (80% of the incentive opportunity), but did not achieve the threshold number of new orders net of cancellations (20% of the incentive opportunity), resulting in payment of annual incentives at 80% of target.

**<u>We continue to seek feedback from shareholders.</u>** Members of our board and management team seek to engage with shareholders each year on a variety of topics including executive compensation.

------

**Our Executives**

Our named executive officers for 2022 were:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Age** | **2022 Title** |
| Paul C. Saville | 67 | Executive Chairman of the Board |
| Eugene J. Bredow | 53 | President and Chief Executive Officer |
| Daniel D. Malzahn | 53 | Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer |
| Matthew B. Kelpy | 50 | Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer |

---

*Paul C. Saville* was elected to the Board of Directors effective May 4, 2022, and the Board appointed Mr. Saville to serve as Executive Chairman of the Board. Mr. Saville served as President and Chief Executive Officer of NVR from July 1, 2005 until May 3, 2022. Mr. Saville has been employed by NVR since 1981.

*Eugene J. Bredow* was named President and Chief Executive Officer effective May 4, 2022. Mr. Bredow served as President of NVR Mortgage from April 1, 2019 to May 3, 2022. Mr. Bredow served as Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of NVR from March 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019. Mr. Bredow served as Chief Accounting Officer from February 2016 until March 1, 2018. Mr. Bredow has been employed by NVR since 2004.

*Daniel D. Malzahn* was named Senior Vice President in February 2016, and continues to serve as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of NVR, roles he has occupied since February 20, 2013. Mr. Malzahn has been employed by NVR since 1994.

*Matthew B. Kelpy* was named Chief Accounting Officer of NVR effective March 1, 2018 and continues to serve as Vice President and Controller, roles he has occupied since joining NVR on January 30, 2017.

In addition to the above, Paul W. Praylo served as an executive officer (Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer) through February 16, 2022, before becoming an Area President on that date, a non-executive officer position. Mr. Praylo would have been among our three most highly compensated executive officers other than our CEO and CFO had he served as an executive officer at the end of 2022, and accordingly, is a named executive officer for 2022. Because Mr. Praylo was only an executive officer at the beginning of the year, his compensation for 2022 was not subject to Compensation Committee approval. His compensation was commensurate with similarly situated employees and is presented in the Summary Compensation Table. Therefore, unless otherwise indicated, the following discussions with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers do not include Mr. Praylo.

**Roles and Responsibilities of our Executive Chairman and CEO**

The following table summarizes the key roles and responsibilities of our Executive Chairman and our CEO.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Paul C. Saville, Executive Chairman** | **Eugene J. Bredow, CEO** |
| Primary responsibilities include: | Primary responsibilities include: |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;--providing strategic direction for the Company; | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;--leading the day-to-day implementation of our strategy; |

**Company Performance Overview**

Our 2022 financial results reflect the strength of our business model and our focus on increasing shareholder value (all comparisons are to our 2021 financial results):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consolidated revenues increased 18%;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross margin increased to 25.8% in 2022 from 22.3% in 2021;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Diluted earnings per share increased 53% to $491.82;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pre-tax profit increased 42%; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Settlements increased 6%.

We returned approximately $1.5 billion of cash to our shareholders during 2022 through repurchases of approximately 324,000 shares of Common Stock, which represented approximately 9% of our shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

Our business philosophy has been to develop and operate a business model to maximize shareholder value in a cyclical industry. Our goal is to deliver industry leading rates of return and growth in earnings per share. We have led the homebuilding peer group in total shareholder return ("TSR") over the long term.

------

On a 20-year basis, our TSR of 1,313% was the highest in the peer group and over three times the 373% average TSR for the Dow Jones US Homebuilder Index, as illustrated below. Taylor Morrison is not included in the 20 year TSR table as their IPO was completed in 2013.![nvr-20230310_g4.jpg](nvr-20230310_g4.jpg)

On a 10-year basis, our TSR of 401% was the highest in the homebuilding peer group and exceeded the TSR for the Dow Jones US Homebuilder Index of 220% as illustrated below. Taylor Morrison is not included in the 10 year TSR table as their IPO was completed in 2013.

![nvr-20230310_g5.jpg](nvr-20230310_g5.jpg)

------

On a 5-year basis, our TSR of 32% was the sixth highest in the homebuilding peer group as illustrated below.

![nvr-20230310_g6.jpg](nvr-20230310_g6.jpg)

We believe these strong results over the long-term relative to our homebuilding peers are due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business model and strategy, which is designed to limit risk and maximize returns on capital in a cyclical industry; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our highly skilled, long-tenured and motivated management team that is extremely disciplined in executing our more capital efficient business model.

Additionally, these key aspects of our strategy are well ingrained in our corporate culture, which includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strong alignment between management incentives (at all levels, not just executive officers) and long-term shareholder returns;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stability and long-term retention of our management team; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Generation of cash flow through all points in the homebuilding cycle.

**Compensation Policies and Practices**

Our compensation program is designed to provide appropriate performance-based incentives to ensure alignment with our shareholders and to avoid compensation practices that do not promote the interests of our shareholders.

***What We Do***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Pay for Performance** - We tie pay to performance by making the majority of compensation "at risk" and linking it to shareholders' interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Annual Bonuses** - Our annual bonuses are performance-based and limited to a maximum of 100% of base salary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Long-Term Equity-Based Compensation** -The majority of our named executive officers' compensation is in the form of stock options with long-term vesting. 50% of our stock option grants are subject to attainment of a return on capital performance condition, and there is no opportunity to earn more than 100% of the target number of options granted, even if our return on capital significantly outperforms the peer group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Periodic Equity Grants** - We make periodic, not annual, grants of long-term stock options. On May 4, 2022, we issued a periodic grant of stock options to our named executive officers and other key managers. The last periodic grant was in 2018.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Stock Options at Market Price** - We only grant stock options with an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of our stock on the grant date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Share Ownership Requirements** - We have robust NVR share ownership requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Double Trigger Change in Control Provisions** - Our equity agreements and employment agreements include double trigger change in control provisions for post-employment benefits and equity awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Equity Clawback Provision** - Our equity agreements have a clawback provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Non-Competition Provision** - Our equity agreements and employment agreements have a non-competition provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Share Repurchase Program** - We mitigate the potential dilutive effect of equity awards through our robust share repurchase program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Independent Compensation Consultant** - Our Compensation Committee utilizes an independent compensation consultant.

***What We Don't Do***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Discretionary Cash Awards** - We do not award any discretionary cash compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Reprice Stock Options** - We do not reprice stock options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Below Market Stock Options** - We do not grant stock options having an exercise price below 100% of fair market value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Evergreen Provisions** - Our equity plans do not have evergreen provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Hedging and Pledging** - We do not permit short sales, hedging or pledging of NVR stock by named executive officers or directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Excise Tax Gross-Ups** - We do not provide any excise tax gross-ups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Perquisites** - We do not provide perquisites.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Supplemental Executive Benefits** - We do not provide defined benefit or supplemental executive retirement, health or insurance plans.

**Say on Pay Results**

In each of 2022 and 2021, 96% of the shares voted were cast in favor of the 2021 and 2020 compensation of our named executive officers, respectively. While the vote is advisory in nature, the Compensation Committee views the vote as confirmation that our shareholders generally believe that the compensation of our named executive officers is appropriately aligned with their performance and NVR's financial performance as well as the interests of our shareholders. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the results of say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for the named executive officers.

**Compensation Philosophy and Objectives**

Homebuilding is a cyclical business with long project life cycles. As such, our executive compensation program is structured to focus our executives on long-term performance, not short-term quarterly or annual performance. Our executive compensation program is designed to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Motivate and retain highly qualified and experienced executives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide performance-based incentives; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strongly align our compensation practices with long-term creation of shareholder value.

We have structured our executive compensation to create long-term alignment with our shareholders through the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Moderate target cash compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Low annual cash incentive maximums;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Significant long-term equity incentives;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Preferred use of stock options, which creates maximum alignment with shareholders and results in majority of compensation being "at risk"; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Robust NVR share ownership requirements.

Our compensation philosophy has been consistent for over 25 years.

The compensation program for our named executive officers includes the following three components:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Compensation Component** | **Type of Pay** | **Key Characteristics** | **Purpose** |
| **Base Salary** | Fixed | Annual adjustments based on individual performance and relative to peer group market salaries, effective April 1st of each year. | Attracts, retains and rewards our named executive officers by providing a fixed source of income to reward experience, skills and performance relative to the market value of the position. |
| **Annual Cash Bonus** | Performance | Maximum opportunity is 100% of base salary, based on NVR's performance against pre-established performance goals. | Aligns the named executive officers with shareholders by focusing the named executive officers on the attainment of annual goals that we believe are necessary to achieve our five-year business plan. |
| **Long-Term Equity-Based Compensation** | Performance | Issued periodically, not annually. Issued as stock options, with 50% of the grant subject to a three year performance period. Options vest 25% at the end of each of years 3, 4, 5 and 6 following the grant date. For example, the May 2022 periodic grant will vest 25% on each of December 31, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027. | Aligns the named executive officers with shareholders by linking the majority of compensation to long-term company performance. Increases retention by providing the opportunity for wealth creation through the long vesting period. Also, protects our interests through a non-competition provision in the equity grant agreements. |

---

We prefer the use of stock options (instead of restricted share units) for the following reasons:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We believe stock options align the long-term interests of our named executive officers with our shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We believe stock options are inherently performance-based since the recipient does not realize value unless the stock price appreciates above the grant price; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Since 50% of the vesting for our stock option grants are subject to NVR's return on capital performance, a significant portion of our performance-based equity is "at risk."

If the stock price decreases between the grant date and vesting date, our named executive officers would still realize value if we issued restricted share units. <u>By issuing stock options, the executives would receive no value unless the stock price increases between the grant date and the vesting date. We believe this provides 100% alignment with our shareholders</u>.

For example, we granted stock options on May 4, 2022 at $4,475.53 per share. Based on the grant date Black-Scholes fair value of $1,416.46 per share, if our stock price remains at $4,475.53 or lower, the named executive officers realize no value. The stock price must increase to $5,891.99, or by 32% from the grant date price, in order for the equivalent number of stock options to have the same value as a restricted share unit issued at $4,475.53.

**Compensation Determination Process**

*Roles of Our Executive Chairman and CEO* 

Mr. Saville makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to the amount of each component of compensation paid to Mr. Bredow. Mr. Bredow makes these recommendations for the other executive officers. These recommendations are partially based on compensation information for comparable positions at other large, publicly traded homebuilding companies, internal comparisons and their assessment of each officer's overall performance during the prior year. Mr. Saville and Mr. Bredow provide written materials supporting these recommendations for review at Compensation Committee meetings, and also attend those meetings at the Committee's request. Typically, these executives attend all

------

regularly-scheduled Compensation Committee meetings, but they are excused as appropriate, including for discussions regarding their own compensation.

*Role of Our Board, Including the Executive Chairman of the Board*

The Compensation Committee considers the following when determining the compensation paid to Mr. Saville and Mr. Bredow:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Salary information for executive chairs and chief executive officers at other large, publicly traded homebuilding companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our financial and operating performance compared to information publicly available on our industry peers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our overall financial strength;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mr. Saville's and Mr. Bredow's performance during the year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Their overall experience and tenure in their respective positions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For Mr. Bredow, the recommendation from Mr. Saville.

Mr. Saville and Mr. Bredow are not present during discussion or voting by the Compensation Committee regarding each of their respective compensation elements. The Compensation Committee has the final authority to determine the compensation of our named executive officers, and exercises such authority regardless of what recommendations are made or information is provided by Mr. Saville or Mr. Bredow.

*Role of Compensation Consultant*

In 2022, the Compensation Committee engaged Aon Consulting to assist the Compensation Committee in evaluating the targeted annual compensation for our named executive officers. Aon Consulting's analysis included a comparative analysis of the named executive officer base pay, annual incentive opportunities and long-term incentive compensation. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Aon Consulting pursuant to SEC and NYSE rules and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would impair Aon Consulting's independence.

*Homebuilding Peer Group*

We use a peer group of our major public-company homebuilding peers when analyzing the compensation of our named executive officers. The companies in the peer group were selected based on being national homebuilding companies and their annual revenues. The peer group is comprised of the following companies (the "Aon Study Peer Group"):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| D. R. Horton, Inc. | Meritage Homes Corporation |
| KB Home | PulteGroup, Inc. |
| Lennar Corporation | Taylor Morrison Home Corporation |
| MDC Holdings, Inc. | Toll Brothers, Inc. |

---

*Determining the Size of Equity Awards*

When issuing periodic block grants under our equity plans to our named executive officers as we did in 2022, the Compensation Committee, with assistance from Aon Consulting, determines the amount of the awards as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Compensation Committee establishes a dollar value of the total targeted annual compensation to be awarded by position;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• After determining the salary and maximum annual bonus opportunity components for a particular year, these amounts are subtracted from the total targeted compensation for that year to derive the fair value that we want to transfer to the executive in the form of an equity award for the year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• When making a block grant to cover multiple years, we multiply the equity award value for a single year by the number of years that the block grant covers to determine the total value of the block grant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On the date of grant, we divide that total equity award fair value dollar amount by the per share fair value, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, to determine the number of stock options to award.

Although we consider this approach to sizing equity awards to be a reasoned approach based on a widely accepted option-pricing model, the ultimate value of an equity award is determined only when it is exercised or vests, as applicable. We do not

------

consider realized or realizable gains from prior equity grants when setting new grant amounts. We do not believe that it is a fair practice to offset current compensation by realized or unrealized equity gains several years after the equity has been issued. Depending on our future stock price, any equity grant ultimately may be worthless, or conversely, worth much more than the fair value initially estimated. Gains in excess of our initial estimate mean that similar gains were realized by all holders of our Common Stock over the same time period. We believe that limiting potential upside on equity gains does not provide an appropriate incentive for our named executive officers when focusing on long-term results, as our compensation philosophy dictates.

**Elements of Compensation**

Approximately 85% of compensation is at risk for our named executive officers:

![nvr-20230310_g7.jpg](nvr-20230310_g7.jpg)

As described earlier, we pay moderate base salaries and low annual cash incentives to our named executive officers. The following chart shows the average cash compensation paid to Mr. Saville and CEOs in the Aon Study Peer Group during 2018-2021 (Mr. Saville served as our CEO during the period presented below):

![nvr-20230310_g8.jpg](nvr-20230310_g8.jpg)

------

Our average total compensation has also been historically low relative to the peer group due to the capped annual incentive opportunity at 100% of base salary. The following chart shows the average total compensation paid to Mr. Saville and CEOs in the Aon Study Peer Group during 2018-2021:

![nvr-20230310_g9.jpg](nvr-20230310_g9.jpg)

***Base Salary***

In 2022, the Compensation Committee took the following actions regarding the base salaries of the named executive officers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mr. Saville's base salary was increased by 5%, from $2,100,000 to $2,205,000 effective April 1, 2022. In making the decision to increase Mr. Saville's base salary, the Compensation Committee reviewed competitive market data for the CEOs in the Aon Study Peer Group and considered Mr. Saville's performance compared to his peers, his tenure and his expertise in managing NVR. The Compensation Committee also considered the salary increase guidelines for other NVR employees. No changes were made to Mr. Saville's base salary in connection with his appointment as Executive Chairman of the Board on May 4, 2022, as the Compensation Committee considered Mr. Saville's anticipated active role in setting the strategic direction for NVR as Executive Chairman.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Upon the recommendation of Mr. Saville, the Compensation Committee increased the base salaries for the remaining named executive officers effective April 1, 2022. Mr. Saville's recommendations were based on the job performance of each named executive officer and consideration of competitive market data for comparable roles within the Aon Study Peer Group. Following the salary increase, the base salaries approximated the 25th percentile of comparable salaries within the Aon Study Peer Group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As part of the process described above, Mr. Bredow's base salary was increased to $585,000 effective April 1, 2022 and prior to his appointment as CEO. Upon the recommendation of Mr. Saville, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Bredow's salary to $800,000 effective May 4, 2022 in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Saville's recommendation was based on Aon Study Peer Group market data for newly appointed CEOs, comparative compensation ratios between the incoming and outgoing CEO compared to NVR's previous CEO transition and Mr. Bredow's experience assuming the role. Following the salary increase, Mr. Bredow's salary was below the 25th percentile of CEO salaries within the Aon Study Peer Group.

------

Annual base salaries for 2021 and 2022 for the named executive officers were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2021 Salary** | **2022 Salary** |
| Paul C. Saville | $2100000 | $2205000 |
| Eugene J. Bredow | $539000 | $800000 |
| Daniel D. Malzahn | $615000 | $665000 |
| Matthew B. Kelpy | $338000 | $365000 |

***Annual Cash Bonus***

*General*

The objective of the annual cash bonus is to focus the named executive officers on the attainment of annual goals that we believe are necessary to achieve our five-year business plan. These annual goals are consistent with the current year's portion of our five-year business plan. The annual incentive is based 100% on NVR's performance. The named executive officers' annual incentive opportunity is limited to a maximum of 100% of base salary, regardless of whether the goals are exceeded, consistent with our overall compensation philosophy of limiting short-term cash compensation in favor of equity-based long-term incentive opportunities. Thus, the maximum amount of bonus is earned once the preset performance targets based on the annual business plan are attained. The annual bonus is payable in cash.

The Compensation Committee has never exercised discretion to award bonuses in amounts higher than the amount calculated by our actual results relative to the preset performance target and attainment ranges.

*2022 Annual Bonus*

For 2022, the Compensation Committee maintained the same annual bonus performance metrics used in 2021 for our named executive officers. The annual bonus opportunity in 2022 for the named executive officers was weighted based 80% upon our consolidated pre-tax profit (before consolidated annual bonus and stock-based compensation expense but after all other charges) and 20% on the number of new orders (net of cancellations) that we generated compared to our 2022 annual business plan. We believe that these measures provide a proper balance of focusing on current profitability while providing for longer-term growth.

The named executive officers were to begin earning the consolidated pre-tax profit portion of their annual bonus award once the annual business plan was at least 80% attained (the "threshold"). The full amount of the consolidated pre-tax profit portion of their annual bonus award was to be earned ratably from 80% up to 100% achievement of the annual business plan. They were to begin earning the new orders portion of their annual bonus award once the annual business plan was at least 85% attained. The full amount of the new orders portion of their annual bonus award was to be earned ratably from 85% up to 100% achievement of the annual business plan.

The following is a summary of the specific performance targets established under the 2022 annual bonus plan and the actual results:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Performance Measure** | **Threshold** | **Target and Maximum** | **Actual** | **Maximum<br>Bonus<br>Opportunity** | **Percentage of<br>Maximum<br>Bonus<br>Opportunity<br>Earned** |
| Consolidated Pre-Tax Profit (in thousands) | $1670808 | $2088510 | $2411724 | 80% | 100% |
| New Orders (net of cancellations) | 20400 | 24000 | 19164 | 20% | —% |
| Percentage of Bonus Opportunity Earned |  |  |  |  | 80% |

---

Under our annual bonus plan, the target bonus amount is the same as the maximum bonus amount. Based on our 2022 results, each of our named executive officers earned 80% of the maximum bonus opportunity of 100% of base salary.

------

***Equity-Based Compensation***

*2022 Equity Grants*

On May 4, 2022, we issued the block grant of stock options to our named executive officers and other key managers as described above. The following is the mix of stock options that were granted to the named executive officers:

![nvr-20230310_g10.jpg](nvr-20230310_g10.jpg)

The stock options vest 25% on each of December 31, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027. The previous grants made in 2018 fully vest on December 31, 2023. We believe that the May 2022 grants are critical to ensure the retention of our named executive officers and other key managers beyond 2023. This approach continues our past practice of issuing equity grants every four years instead of annual equity grants. While we recognize that annual grants are more common, this practice has served us well in motivating and retaining key executives and managers. The average tenure of our key executives and managers is nearly 20 years, and we believe this lengthy tenure is a critical reason that our 20 year TSR of 1,313% led all of our peers in the Aon Study Peer Group.

To determine the size of awards to grant to our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee used the large-cap companies within the Aon Study Peer Group (D.R. Horton, Inc., Lennar Corporation, Toll Brothers, Inc. and PulteGroup, Inc.) to benchmark the named executive officers' total compensation. The Compensation Committee also reviewed information provided by Aon Consulting on CEO to Executive Chairman transitions for S&P 500 companies along with CEO to Executive Chairman transitions within the Aon Study Peer Group in recent years, including in the year of transition from CEO to Executive Chairman.

The Compensation Committee considered the following in determining the size of award to grant to Mr. Saville:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NVR's superior financial returns relative to the peer group under Mr.Saville's leadership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mr. Saville's anticipated active role providing strategic direction as Executive Chairman and providing perspective and direction to Mr. Bredow during the CEO transition; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Static nature of the calculation due to the block grant approach (4-year forward looking time period during which the median total compensation of the peer group will likely increase).

Based on the above, the Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to position Mr. Saville's equity grant by considering the total compensation for Executive Chairs within the Aon Study Peer Group. The Compensation Committee also took into account Mr. Saville's 2018 equity grant and limited the 2022 grant value to approximately 10% higher than the 2018 equity grant value. This resulted in Mr. Saville's total compensation being below the average of the Executive Chairs for large cap companies within the Aon Study Peer Group.

The Compensation Committee considered the following in determining the size of award to grant to Mr. Bredow:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mr. Bredow's responsibility for day-to-day implementation of our strategy and direct responsibility for oversight and financial performance of our operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Aon Study Peer Group market data for CEO compensation, including competitive data in the year of CEO transition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• comparative compensation ratios between the incoming and outgoing CEO during NVR's previous CEO transition; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the level of Mr. Bredow's experience in assuming the CEO role.

Based on the above, the Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to position Mr. Bredow's equity grant using a similar ratio to that of the incoming and outgoing CEOs in NVR's previous CEO transition. This resulted in Mr. Bredow's total compensation being below the 25th percentile for CEOs within the Aon Study Peer Group.

With respect to Mr. Malzahn, upon the recommendation of Mr. Saville, the Compensation Committee determined to make a grant of stock options at a value approximately 10% higher than the value of the grant to Mr. Malzahn in May 2018. This value results in Mr. Malzahn's total annual compensation being between the 50th and 75th percentile of total compensation for the large-cap CFOs within the Aon Study Peer Group. The value of this grant reflects Mr. Malzahn's job performance and tenure in the role, NVR's superior financial returns relative to the peer group and the static nature of the calculation due to the block grant approach (4-year forward looking time period during which the median total compensation of the peer group will likely increase). With respect to Mr. Kelpy, upon the recommendation of Mr. Saville, the Committee determined to make a grant of stock options based on the compensation for comparable internal positions.

The Compensation Committee determined the equity grant values as follows:

|<br>**Name** | **<u>A</u>**<br>**Target Total Annual Compensation** | **<u>B</u>**<br>**Target Annual Cash Compensation** | **<u>C=A-B</u>**<br>**Target Annual Equity Compensation** | **<u>D</u>**<br>**Number of Vesting Years** | **<u>E=CxD</u>**<br>**Target 4 Year Equity Grant Value** |<br>**Actual Grant Date Fair Value of Equity Award** |

Based on the 4-year equity grant values calculated above, the following option grants were issued to the named executive officers on May 4, 2022 (see the *2022 Summary Compensation Table* and the *Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2022* table for further information):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Number of Time-Based Options Granted** | **Number of Performance- Based Options Granted** | **Total Number of Options Granted** | **Total Value Based on Grant Date Fair Value** |
| Paul C. Saville | 13750 | 13750 | 27500 | $38952650 |
| Eugene J. Bredow | 6350 | 6350 | 12700 | $17989042 |
| Daniel D. Malzahn | 4525 | 4525 | 9050 | $12818963 |
| Matthew B. Kelpy | 1000 | 1000 | 2000 | $2832920 |

---

The stock options will vest in 25% increments on each of December 31, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027. The vesting for the time-based options is based solely on continued employment. The vesting for the performance-based options is based on continued employment and NVR's return on capital performance during the years 2022 through 2024.

For the performance-based options, we have determined that the most appropriate performance metric is our return on capital relative to the peer group. We believe that return on capital is an important metric for us due to the capital intensive nature of the homebuilding business. The following are the relevant details of the performance metric:

------

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| How is Return on Capital calculated? | <u>Average Annual ((Pre-Tax Income +Homebuilding Interest Expense (period expense and in cost of sales))-Taxes at 26%)</u><br>Average Quarterly (Homebuilding Debt (including working capital borrowings) + Shareholders Equity) |
| Who is the Peer Group? | Beazer Homes USA, Inc.; D. R. Horton, Inc.; Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc.; KB Home; Lennar Corporation; MDC Holdings, Inc.; Meritage Homes Corporation; M/I Homes, Inc.; PulteGroup, Inc.; Taylor Morrison Home Corporation; TRI Pointe Group, Inc.; and Toll Brothers, Inc. Each member must be a stand-alone public company during the entire measurement period. |
| What is the measurement period? | Fiscal Years 2022-2024 |
| How is the award earned? | Award is earned ratably from the Threshold to the Target. |
| What is the Threshold? | 50th percentile of the peer group (award is 50% of the options granted) |
| What is the Target? | 75th percentile of the peer group (award is 100% of the options granted) |
| What is the Maximum? | Same as the Target. There is no opportunity to earn more than 100% of the number of options granted. |

---

The following table illustrates the performance metric target calculation:

|:---|:---|:---|
| **Rank** | **Builder** | |
| 1 | Builder #1 |  |
| 2 | Builder #2 |  |

We understand that issuing periodic block equity grants instead of annual equity grants results in the compensation for named executives appearing uneven in the *Summary Compensation Table*, with four years of equity compensation being disclosed in the year of the grant and no equity compensation being disclosed in the remaining years. The following is an illustrative example of our CEO's compensation disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table, assuming that he earns 100% of his annual bonus and his annual base salary remains unchanged from his current salary:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2022** | **2023** | **2024** | **2025** | **Average** |
| Salary \* | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 |
| Annual Bonus \* | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 |
| Equity Compensation | $17989042 | $0 | $0 | $0 | $4497261 |
| Total Compensation | $19589042 | $1600000 | $1600000 | $1600000 | $6097261 |

\* For purposes of this illustration, annual salary remains unchanged and maximum annual bonus is earned. Annual performance increases would be subject to market conditions and the CEO's overall performance.

------

When our Compensation Committee evaluates the annual compensation of the named executive officers, the Committee evaluates the equity compensation as being earned over the 4-year period. The following is an illustrative example of our Committee's evaluation of the CEO's compensation over a four year period:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2022** | **2023** | **2024** | **2025** | **Average** |
| Salary \* | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 |
| Annual Bonus \* | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 | $800000 |
| Equity Compensation | $4497261 | $4497261 | $4497261 | $4497261 | $4497261 |
| Total Compensation | $6097261 | $6097261 | $6097261 | $6097261 | $6097261 |

---

\* For purposes of this illustration, annual salary remains unchanged and maximum annual bonus is earned. Annual performance increases would be subject to market conditions and the CEO's overall performance.

As the two tables above illustrate, the compensation appears higher in the year of the equity grant but over the four year period, the average compensation is the same. The disclosure in the *Summary Compensation Table* may lead certain shareholders or the proxy advisors to consider the 2022 compensation above average when compared to many companies, including companies in our peer group, issuing annual equity grants. We believe that our shareholders should evaluate our 2022 compensation taking into consideration that we issued block grants of equity in 2022, consistent with our past disclosures regarding periodic equity grants. We do not expect to grant any additional options to our named executive officers until 2026, except for promotions and new hires.

*Equity Plan Features*

We believe that our equity plans reflect the following corporate governance best practices:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No evergreen provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No re-pricing of stock options without shareholder approval (NVR has no history of re-pricing options);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No discounted stock options;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No reload features; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Double trigger change of control provision in the equity agreements for the accelerated vesting of equity.

**Clawback/Forfeiture**

Under the terms of the equity agreements, we may recapture from our named executive officers gains from stock option exercises if we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. A named executive officer must reimburse us for any gains during the 12 month period following the first public filing with the SEC that contained such material noncompliance. The named executive officer must have knowingly engaged in the misconduct, been grossly negligent in engaging in the misconduct, knowingly failed to prevent the misconduct or been grossly negligent in failing to prevent the misconduct.

**Stock Ownership Guidelines**

We have adopted robust stock ownership guidelines to strengthen long-term alignment between our executive officers (and other members of senior management) and our shareholders. These guidelines require the executive officers to acquire and continuously hold shares with a total fair market value ranging from four- to eight-times their annual base salaries depending on position. The multiple of salary that our executive officers are required to hold in shares of stock is higher than many other companies. These guidelines are subject to transition provisions and discussed further below.

The stock ownership requirement for each of our named executive officers as of December 31, 2022 was as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Base Salary** | **Factor** | **Dollar Holding<br>Requirement** |
| Paul C. Saville | $2205000 | 8 | $17640000 |
| Eugene J. Bredow | $800000 | 8 | $6400000 |
| Daniel D. Malzahn | $665000 | 6 | $3990000 |
| Matthew B. Kelpy | $365000 | 4 | $1460000 |

---

Only those shares owned by the named executive officer in their personal accounts, the NVR Profit Sharing Trust, the NVR Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and the Deferred Compensation Plan count towards the stock ownership requirement.

------

*Transition Provisions*

Under our stock ownership guidelines, any executive officer who does not meet the requirement must retain 100% of the net common stock received upon vesting of restricted share units, and 50% of the net common stock received from option exercises until the stock ownership requirement is attained. "Net common stock received" means the common stock received after the payment of the exercise price, if any, and the taxes withheld related to the option exercise or restricted share unit vesting.

All of the executive officers are currently in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines (taking into account the transition provisions).

**Trading of NVR Stock**

Our Board has adopted an insider trading policy that prohibits all employees and directors from trading in our securities while in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company. We have a robust pre-clearance process; whereby each executive officer and director must obtain written pre-clearance from our Chief Accounting Officer before trading in our stock during open trading windows.

Our insider trading policy also contains provisions that prohibit directors, executive officers and members of senior management from pledging our equity securities or hedging our equity securities in any way, including through covered calls, collars, or other types of derivative securities. Directors and executive officers also are prohibited from engaging in short sales of our securities.

**Personal Benefits**

Our named executive officers are entitled to and eligible ***only*** for the same personal benefits for which all of our employees are eligible.

**Deferred Compensation Arrangements**

We have two deferred compensation plans that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Encourage ownership of our Common Stock in furtherance of our compensation philosophy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Enable our named executive officers, and other members of management, to acquire shares of our Common Stock on a pre-tax basis in order to more quickly meet, and maintain compliance with, the stock ownership requirements described above; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Established a vehicle whereby, prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, named executive officers could defer the receipt of salary and bonus that otherwise would have been nondeductible for company tax purposes into a period where we would realize a tax deduction for the amounts paid (see *Tax Deductibility of Compensation* discussion below).

Our deferred compensation plans are structured as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amounts deferred are invested in a fixed number of shares of our Common Stock, which is purchased on the open market at fair market value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We own the shares of Common Stock in a Rabbi Trust, which makes payment of our obligations under the deferred compensation plans risk-free for NVR – the cost of the plans does not increase as the value of the Common Stock increases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Common Stock is the only investment choice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All amounts placed in the deferred compensation plan are amounts already earned by the named executive officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We do not make employer contributions to the deferred compensation accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Earnings on deferred amounts solely represent the change in the market value of the shares of our Common Stock held in the account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We do not provide for a minimum return or guarantee a minimum payout amount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amounts deferred are "at risk" investments for the named executive officer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amounts deferred cannot be distributed to the named executive officer until the named executive officer's termination of service or, under one of the two plans, six months after termination.

------

The structure of our deferred compensation plans results in certain of our named executive officers holding Common Stock significantly in excess of the ownership requirement since our Common Stock is the only investment choice and shares held in the deferred compensation plans are not eligible for distribution until the named executive officer's employment terminates.

The market value of our named executive officers' deferred compensation accounts is not considered when setting their current compensation. The Compensation Committee reached this conclusion after considering the following points:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The compensation deferred was reviewed and analyzed based on the above-described compensation philosophy and policies at the time the compensation was earned in prior years and was fully earned at that time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the executive officer had elected to receive a payout of the compensation at the time it was earned rather than electing the deferral, we would not have any knowledge of, and therefore would not consider, the executive officer's investment experience related to that compensation when considering the amount by which we should compensate the executive officer in the current year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The change in the deferred compensation balance is solely attributable to the change in the market value of our Common Stock since the dates of deferral;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We do not consider shares of Common Stock owned by an executive officer outside of the deferred compensation plans when setting current compensation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the amounts had been paid to the executive officer when earned and not deferred until separation of service, we would have lost a substantial tax benefit that we will now expect to receive as a result of the deferral.

Thus, we do not believe it is appropriate to consider the value of an executive officer's deferred compensation account in making current compensation decisions just because the account is held in a plan we sponsor and is invested in our Common Stock. See the *2022 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table* and accompanying narrative below for additional information on our deferred compensation plans.

**Change of Control and Post-Employment Payments**

Messrs. Saville, Bredow and Malzahn are each party to an employment agreement with us pursuant to which the officer is entitled to post-employment payments upon certain termination events, including termination following a change in control. We have not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Kelpy. Accordingly, he is employed on an at-will basis and is not entitled to post-employment benefits upon termination, other than rights contained in his equity agreements. Generally, we do not believe that we should pay our named executive officers, or any other employee, any incremental compensation upon termination when the termination is either by choice or due to conduct that is potentially detrimental to NVR. Thus, we do not provide any of our named executive officers any incremental post-employment benefits, other than any amounts already earned and accrued at the date of termination, if the termination is voluntary (unless due to a change in control of NVR, retirement or "with good reason") or for "Cause."

We do not provide tax "gross ups" to our named executive officers in connection with any change in control or post-employment payment.

***Change of Control Provisions***

The change of control provision in each applicable named executive officer's equity agreement or employment agreement for the payment of the post-employment benefit is a double trigger, meaning that the change of control must be coupled with the officer's termination from service within a certain period of time after the change of control to trigger a payment or accelerated right. A double trigger for the post-employment benefit payment was selected because, unless the named executive officer's employment is terminated after the change in control, the acquiring entity will continue to pay the named executive officer's salary and annual bonus. See the *Narrative Disclosures of Termination and Change of Control Payments* discussion below for additional information on these post-employment payments.

The change of control provisions in the deferred compensation plans are single trigger, meaning that the change of control event alone triggers either a payment or an acceleration of certain rights. This reflects our intent that the named executive officers have the ability to vote those shares upon any proposed transaction since the amounts are already vested, and to ensure that the named executive officers receive deferred compensation they earned prior to the change of control. See the *Narrative Disclosures of Termination and Change of Control Payments* discussion below for additional information on these post-employment payments.

***Payments Upon Death, Disability, Retirement and Other Employment Terminations***

Each of the employment agreements provides for a post-employment benefit of two months' salary and two months' pro-rated annual bonus upon the named executive officer's termination due to death or disability. This amount reflects what we believe

------

to be a modest transition for the executive or the executive's family for termination events that are sudden and beyond the executive's control.

We provide a post-employment benefit of 100% of base salary and any accrued pro-rated annual bonus (to the extent that performance targets are achieved for that year) upon the named executive officer's retirement. We consider the 100% payment a reward for length of service given that we do not provide our executives defined benefit or supplemental executive retirement plans.

For Messrs. Saville and Bredow, we provide a post-employment benefit of 200% of base salary and any accrued pro-rated annual bonus (assuming that 100% of the target bonus would have been paid for that year) for termination without cause, voluntary with good reason or voluntary within one year after a change in control (requires a change in control <u>and</u> a material diminution in authority, duties or responsibilities). For Mr. Malzahn, we provide a post-employment benefit of 100% of base salary and any accrued pro-rated annual bonus (assuming that 100% of the target bonus would have been paid for that year) for termination without cause, voluntary with good reason or voluntary within one year after a change in control (requires a change in control <u>and</u> a material diminution in authority, duties or responsibilities). These amounts reflect our belief that it is difficult for executive officers to find comparable employment opportunities in a short period of time, particularly after experiencing a termination that was beyond their control.

**Management of Compensation-Related Risk**

We have designed our compensation program to avoid excessive risk-taking by placing the majority of our named executive officers' compensation opportunity in periodic grants of equity with a long-term vesting schedule, limiting the annual bonus opportunity to 100% of base salary and having significant stock ownership requirements for our named executive officers. We do not believe any of our compensation programs create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on NVR.

**Tax Deductibility of Compensation**

Through December 31, 2017, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limited the corporate deduction for compensation paid to the named executive officers (other than our CFO) to $1 million unless such compensation qualified as "performance-based compensation." Among other things, Section 162(m) required approval of the performance-based compensation by our shareholders. The Compensation Committee takes the deductibility of compensation into consideration but it does not limit the design of its compensation plans to strictly fall within the definition of performance-based compensation. All of our stock option plans with outstanding options at the time were designed to enable all stock option awards to qualify as "performance based" under Section 162(m).

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was enacted. The Act eliminated the "performance-based compensation" exception from Section 162(m). The Act includes a grandfathering provision for compensation pursuant to a written binding contract which was in effect on November 2, 2017, and which was not modified in any material respect after such date. We believe that our outstanding equity grants and amounts in the deferred compensation plans as of November 2, 2017 are in compliance with the grandfathering provision of the Act, and thus will remain deductible to the extent they are considered "performance-based compensation."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)"Award Type" refers to the type of stock option award. "T" represents time-based options where the vesting is based on continued service through the vesting dates in the column labeled "Ratable vesting on each of December 31." "P" represents performance options where the vesting is based on continued service through the vesting dates and NVR's return on capital performance during the three year period ended December 31 of the first year listed in the column labeled "Ratable vesting on each of December 31." For performance-based options, the amount disclosed is based on the target number of options, which is the same as the maximum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Represents unrealized earnings (losses) in the market value of the Common Stock held in the officer's deferred compensation account during 2022. We have never paid dividends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Mr. Saville deferred a total of $15,995,411 of earned compensation prior to 2004, all of which was previously reported in our proxy statements. This earned compensation was deferred prior to Mr. Saville being named CEO and has been "at risk" since the deferral prior to 2004. The growth in the balance is solely from the appreciation in our Common Stock since the dates of deferral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Mr. Saville deferred a total of $600,000 of earned compensation during 2006, all of which was previously reported in our proxy statements. The growth in the balance is solely from the appreciation in our Common Stock since the dates of deferral.

**Narrative to the 2022 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table**

We have two deferred compensation plans, which we refer to as Plan 1 and Plan 2 for purposes of this discussion. Plan 1, which we adopted on December 15, 1999, was closed for new contributions effective December 31, 2004. Each of the named executive officers, solely at their election, may defer 100% of any earned salary or bonus into Plan 2, which we adopted on December 15, 2005. Stock option gains are prohibited by law from being deferred.

Our deferred compensation plans are structured as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amounts deferred are invested in a fixed number of shares of our Common Stock, which is purchased on the open market at fair market value;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We own the shares of Common Stock in a Rabbi Trust, which makes the payment of our obligations under the deferred compensation plans risk-free for NVR – the cost of the plans does not increase as the value of the Common Stock increases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Common Stock is the only investment choice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All amounts placed in the deferred compensation plan are amounts already earned by the named executive officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We do not make employer contributions to the deferred compensation accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Earnings on deferred amounts solely represent changes in the market value of the shares of our Common Stock held in the account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We do not provide for a minimum return or guarantee a minimum payout amount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amounts deferred are "at risk" investments for the named executive officer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amounts deferred cannot be distributed to the named executive officer until the named executive officer's termination of service. The deferral period expires for Plan 1 at the named executive officer's termination of service, and expires for Plan 2 six months after the named executive officer's termination of service in accordance with Code Section 409A.

See the *Tax Deductibility of Compensation* section in our *Compensation Discussion and Analysis* for further discussion of the tax deductibility of deferred compensation.

**NARRATIVE DISCLOSURES OF TERMINATION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENTS**

Certain of our named executive officers are eligible to receive certain termination and/or change in control payments and acceleration rights under certain of the compensation arrangements that they hold with us. These payments and acceleration rights are contained within the applicable executive officers' employment agreements, equity agreements and deferred compensation plan agreements.

**Employment Agreements**

As noted in the *Change of Control and Post-Employment Payments* section above, Messrs. Saville, Bredow and Malzahn are employed pursuant to employment agreements that expire on December 31, 2025. The agreements cover the additional payments that would be due to these individuals in certain termination scenarios. Summarized below are the post-employment payments due under the various termination scenarios pursuant to the employment agreements. As mentioned above, we have not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Kelpy. Accordingly, he is employed on an at-will basis and is not entitled to post-employment benefits upon termination, other than rights contained in his equity agreement. Mr. Praylo ceased to be an employee of the Company on January 10, 2023. As part of his separation, Mr. Praylo became entitled to benefits under his employment agreement, which included outplacement services and a payment totaling $1,071,233, consisting of 100% of his base salary ($575,000) and his 2022 annual bonus at target, prorated through his last day working for the Company ($496,233).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Voluntary*. The applicable named executive officer is not entitled to receive any unearned payments after the date of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Without cause*. The named executive officer is entitled to receive, in a lump sum following six months from the date of termination, an amount equal to 200% or 100% of the named executive officer's then annual base salary, as applicable, and any accrued pro-rated annual bonus based on the then annual base salary, assuming that 100% of the target bonus would have been paid for that year. In addition, we would provide the executive with up to $100,000 of outplacement services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Voluntary with good reason*. The named executive officer is entitled to receive the termination payments and outplacement services described in the "*Without cause*" section above. "Good reason" means (a) a material diminution in the executive's authority, duties or responsibilities; (b) a change in the executive's reporting relationship; (c) a material change in the executive's principal place of employment; (d) the failure of any successor of the Company to expressly in writing assume our obligations under the employment agreement; or (e) a material breach by us of any agreement between the executive and us.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Retirement.* Upon retirement, the named executive officer is entitled to receive, in a lump sum following six months from the date of retirement, an amount equal to 100% of the named executive officer's then annual base salary and any accrued pro-rated annual bonus based on the then annual base salary, to the extent that performance targets have been achieved and the annual bonus being paid at the same time that all of our other employees are paid their annual bonus.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Death or Disability*. The named executive officer is entitled to receive in a lump sum two months of the named executive officer's then annual base salary and accrued pro-rated annual bonus, assuming that the maximum of 100% of the annual bonus is earned for the period ending on the last calendar day of the second calendar month following the month in which the death or disability occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Cause*. The applicable named executive officers are not entitled to receive any payments after the date of termination for cause. Termination for "cause" is a termination due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the executive being convicted of (a) a felony, (b) a willful or knowing violation of any federal or state securities law, or (c) a crime involving moral turpitude;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ gross negligence or gross misconduct in connection with the performance of the executive's duties as described within the employment agreement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the executive materially breaching any covenants contained in any agreement between the executive and us.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Termination after a change in control.* A "change of control" means (a) any person or group acquires 50% or more of the combined voting power of our voting stock, (b) substantially all of our assets are sold to another party, (c) we are liquidated or dissolved, or (d) we are merged or consolidated into another entity in which we are not the surviving entity. The post-employment payments due following a termination within one year after a "change of control" are summarized below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*◦ Without cause within one year after a change in control.* The named executive officer is entitled to receive the termination payments and outplacement services described in the "*Without cause*" section above, except that the annual bonus payout is based on 100% of base salary for the year. In addition, each equity agreement provides for the acceleration of vesting of all unvested equity if we experience a "change in control" and the named executive officer's employment is terminated without cause within one year following the "change in control." The accelerated vesting is based on a double trigger, meaning that the named executive officer's employment needs to be terminated to receive the acceleration right. The "change in control" provisions within the named executive officers' agreements are identical to the "change of control" provisions within the agreements for all other participants of the respective equity plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*◦ Voluntary within one year after a change in control.* The named executive officer is entitled to receive the termination payments described in the "*Without cause*" section above if there is a "change of control" <u>and</u> there has been a material diminution in the executive's authority, duties or responsibilities, except that the annual bonus payout is based on 100% of base salary for the year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Voluntary termination upon the election or appointment, as applicable, of a new Chairman and/or Chief Executive Officer.* The applicable named executive officer is not entitled to receive any unearned payments after the date of termination.

***Conditions to Receipt of Payment***

The covenants within the employment agreements have non-competition provisions, including the prohibition from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• controlling or owing more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any residential homebuilding, mortgage financing or settlement services business that competes with us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• being employed by or providing services to any person or entity that competes with us in the residential homebuilding, mortgage financing or settlement services business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inducing or attempting to induce any of our customers or potential customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• hiring or attempting to hire our employees; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• utilizing the services of or trying to acquire land, goods or services from any of our developers or subcontractors.

The periods that the non-competition provisions cover are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During the term of employment, the named executive officer is bound by the non-competition covenants at all times.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For one year after termination, the named executive officer is bound by the non-competition covenants if the termination was voluntary, due to retirement, for cause or without cause.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The named executive officer is not bound by the non-competition covenants after the executive's termination if the termination was voluntary with good reason, voluntary within one year after a change in control or voluntary upon the election or appointment, as applicable, of a new Chairman and/or Chief Executive Officer.

The following table quantifies the potential payments to the named executive officers (other than Mr. Praylo, as his payments are discussed in the section above) upon termination of employment or a change in control as of December 31, 2022.

(1) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Represents the intrinsic value of the acceleration of vesting of stock options that vest upon a change in control and termination of employment within one year of a change in control. Intrinsic value for the stock options is the difference between the exercise price of the stock option and the closing price of our Common Stock, which was $4,612.58 on December 30, 2022, the last trading day of the year.

**Deferred Compensation Plans**

Under the deferred compensation plans (see the *2022 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table* above for more information on these plans), named executive officers receive their shares of Common Stock immediately if we experience a "change of control," rather than receiving their shares of Common Stock at separation of service. The "change of control" provisions within the deferred compensation plans are equally applicable to all participants within the plans.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Plan 1*. Generally, the "change of control" provision is the same as the "change in control" provision set forth in our equity agreements, as summarized above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Plan 2*. Generally, the "change of control" provision is triggered if (i) we experience any transaction resulting in any person or entity owning 50% or more of the total fair market value or total voting power of our shares, (ii) we experience any transaction resulting in any person or entity acquiring 35% or more of the total fair market value or total voting power of our shares during a 12-month period, (iii) a majority of our Board is replaced during any 12-month period by new directors not endorsed by a majority of our Board who were on our board immediately preceding the new appointments or elections, or (iv) we sell to another entity our assets that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of our total assets.

Assuming a change of control under the deferred compensation plans at December 31, 2022, the market value of the accelerated account balances is presented in the *2022 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table* above.

**Pay Ratio** 

Pursuant to Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K and Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, presented below is the ratio of annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee (excluding our CEO). The ratio presented below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u).

In identifying our median employee, we calculated the total cash compensation paid to each of our employees for the 10-month period ended October 31, 2022. Total cash compensation for these purposes included base salary and wages, and, if applicable, bonus and commissions and was calculated using internal payroll records.

We selected the median employee based on approximately 6,600 active full-time and part-time employees of NVR and its subsidiaries as of October 31, 2022. For employees hired in 2022 who did not work the full year, we did not annualize their compensation for purposes of this calculation.

The 2022 annual total compensation as determined under Item 402 of Regulation S-K ("Item 402 Compensation") for our CEO was $19,289,010. The 2022 Item 402 Compensation for our median employee was $71,500. The ratio of our CEO's Item 402 Compensation to our median employee's Item 402 Compensation for fiscal year 2022 is approximately 270 to 1. Mr. Bredow received a periodic equity grant in 2022. For purposes of the pay ratio calculation, issuing periodic equity grants instead of annual equity grants results in the compensation for named executive officers appearing uneven, with four years of equity compensation being included in Mr. Bredow's compensation in the year of the grant and no equity compensation being disclosed in the remaining years.

Because the SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Paul C. Saville was our principal executive officer (PEO) until May 4, 2022, when he was appointed Executive Chairman of the Board. Eugene J. Bredow has been our PEO since May 4, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The dollar amounts included in this column represent the amount of "compensation actually paid" as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, and do not reflect the actual compensation earned by or paid to the applicable NEO during the applicable year, given that the substantial majority of this amount relates to unvested stock options which could not have been exercised during the period in which it is included in this measure.

For all periods presented, the amounts deducted from the Summary Compensation Table consisted of the grant-date fair value of equity awards granted in the respective year. The amounts added to the Summary Compensation Table totals consisted of the fair value as of the end of the year of equity grants made in that year, the change in Black-Scholes fair value of unvested equity awards granted in prior years and the change in Black-Scholes fair value of equity awards vesting in the year presented. These amounts for Mr. Saville, and for Mr. Bredow in 2022, are presented in the table below:

**The Relationships Between "Compensation Actually Paid"** <sup>(1)</sup> **and NVR Measures of Financial Performance**

*Background*

Homebuilding is a cyclical business with long project life cycles. Our executive compensation program is structured to focus our executives on long-term performance, not short-term quarterly or annual performance. For over 25 years, our compensation philosophy has remained consistent and has focused our management team on long-term maximization of shareholder value, as demonstrated by our 25 year total shareholder return of 20,986%, compared to the S&P 500 Index total shareholder return of 529% during the same period.

In our 1996 proxy statement, when our stock price was under $10 per share, we stated that our executive compensation philosophy "includes performance based compensation which effectively aligns the interests of management with those of the Company's shareholders. The total compensation package is structured to effectively achieve the mutually beneficial goals of retaining experienced senior executives and aligning senior executive compensation with the creation of long-term shareholder value." That compensation philosophy remains in place today. The consistency in our compensation philosophy is clear, and so is the alignment with shareholders, as demonstrated by the December 31, 2022 closing price of $4,612.58 per share. This compensation philosophy has also achieved the goal of retaining experienced senior executives, as the average NVR experience of our senior executives is nearly 20 years.

Approximately 85% of our named executive officers' compensation is at risk, and the substantial majority of our named executive officers' compensation is in the form of stock options with long-term vesting. Our periodic option grants to named executive officers do not begin to vest until the end of the third year following the grant date, and vest 25% each year from that point until the end of the sixth year following the grant date. This vesting schedule is substantially longer than that of our peer group and most companies. 50% of the vesting for our stock option grants is subject to a performance metric, NVR's return on capital relative to our peer group.

The most significant driver of "compensation actually paid" to our NEOs is the change in our stock price from the grant date to the vesting date. We believe this relationship benefits shareholders by motivating our executives to drive long-term increases in shareholder value. Given our long term vesting schedule, grants made in periods as far back as 2017 impact the "compensation actually paid" presented in the table above. As a result, "compensation actually paid" in each individual year presented will be highly variable as it is almost entirely driven by the change in the Black-Scholes value of stock options from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Our compensation for all of our executive officers is simple, consisting of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.moderate target cash compensation (base salary and an annual incentive bonus capped at 100% of base salary, as described further on page 28);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.significant long-term equity incentives in the form of stock options granted periodically; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.the same personal benefits for which all of our employees are eligible.

Accordingly, our PEO's "compensation actually paid" is highly correlated to that of the remaining NEOs. In periods where our stock price performs strongly, our PEO and the remaining NEOs will each have higher "compensation actually paid" (as defined in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K). In periods where our stock price declines, our PEO and the remaining NEOs will have lower "compensation actually paid." We believe this provides 100% alignment between the interests of our named executive officers and our shareholders.

*Relationship between "compensation actually paid" and our cumulative TSR*

The relationship between "compensation actually paid" and our TSR is simple. "Compensation actually paid" to all of our NEOs is highly correlated to our TSR over the vesting period of our equity grants. For example, in 2021, 93% of the "compensation actually paid" to our PEO and 94% of the "compensation actually paid" to the remaining NEOs was driven by the increase in the Black-Scholes fair value of stock options.

Our long-term vesting and the use of stock options ensures that our NEOs' long-term interests are aligned with our shareholders' interests. Our NEOs must drive long-term shareholder value to realize the substantial majority of their compensation. That alignment is demonstrated by the change in our share price over the long-term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The "compensation actually paid" presented in this section is as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, and does not reflect the actual compensation earned by or paid to the applicable NEO during the applicable year, given that the substantial majority of this amount relates to unvested stock options which could not have been exercised during the period in which it is included in this measure.

------

*Relationship between "compensation actually paid" and net income and return on capital*

The other two measures presented in our pay versus performance table are net income and return on capital. We believe that long-term shareholder value is driven in large part by growth in net income. We have grown net income in each of the years presented in the pay versus performance table; however, our "compensation actually paid" has been higher in years where our share price performed well, and lower in years where our share price declined.

With respect to return on capital, the return on capital metric (over a three year performance period) represents our performance metric for vesting of performance-based options, and requires us to outperform the peer group. 50% of the each option grant to our NEOs is subject to the return on capital performance condition, and this component of NEO compensation only vests at the target level if our three year return on capital is in the top 25% of our peer group. We believe return on capital is an important metric for us and our shareholders due to the capital intensive nature of the homebuilding business.

"Compensation actually paid" in any given year does not correlate strongly with the changes in net income or return on capital due to the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry, and the fact that the substantial majority of compensation is in the form of long-term stock options. Our focus on long-term growth is designed to limit risk and maximize returns in a cyclical industry. Over the three year period, our net income grew by 91% and our return on capital metric was the highest in our peer group. Our goal is to deliver industry leading rates of return and growth in net income (and earnings per share) over the long term, and we believe by focusing on this long-term growth, we will maximize shareholder value.

*Relationship between our TSR and the peer group TSR for the three most recently completed fiscal years*

The peer group TSR represents the cumulative shareholder return of the Dow Jones US Home Construction Index from December 31, 2019 through and including the last day of each applicable fiscal year presented in the table. During the last three fiscal years, our TSR performance lagged the peer group TSR.

We believe our lot acquisition strategy avoids the risks associated with land ownership and development, which historically has resulted in outperformance during recessionary periods. With the overall strength of the homebuilding industry during the last three years, our TSR performance has been more in line with our peer group than in measurement periods which include a cyclical downturn (like the 2006-2011 housing downturn, where we were the only publicly traded homebuilder that remained profitable). Over the long term, our strategy is the key driver of our strong balance sheet, which over the long term maximizes shareholder value in our cyclical industry, as demonstrated by our 20 year TSR leading the peer group.

*Most important financial performance measures to link "compensation actually paid" to our company performance during the last fiscal year*

During 2022, the most important financial performance measures to link "compensation actually paid" to our company performance were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total Shareholder Return

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consolidated Pre-Tax Profit

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• New Orders

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 1 Year Return on Capital

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Return on Equity

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Diluted Earnings Per Share

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Mr. Saville, who as our Executive Chairman is also one of our named executive officers, receives no additional compensation for his service as a director. His compensation as a named executive officer is disclosed above in the Summary Compensation Table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Messrs. Schar, Johnson and Moran were directors through the date of the 2022 annual meeting, and did not stand for re-election.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)During 2022, directors were paid the following compensation:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Annual Board Retainer | $75000 |
| Annual Committee Retainer (excludes Executive Committee) | $8000 |
| Annual Audit Committee Chair Fee | $20000 |
| Annual Compensation Committee Chair Fee | $15000 |
| Annual Nominating Committee Chair Fee | $15000 |

---

Reasonable incidental travel and out-of-pocket business expenses are reimbursed as incurred in accordance with the policies to which all of our named executive officers and employees are subject.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)For information on the valuation assumptions for the equity grant, refer to the note on Equity-Based Compensation, Profit Sharing and Deferred Compensation Plans in the NVR financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-end December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC.

------

**Narrative Disclosure to Director Compensation Table**

We compensate non-employee directors for their service on our Board with a combination of cash and periodic equity awards, the amounts of which are commensurate with their role and involvement. In 2022, no changes were made to our director cash compensation. Consistent with the periodic equity grants made in 2022 to our named executive officers, equity grants were made to directors in 2022. Vesting of these equity grants is subject to continued service as a director. Except for grants to new directors joining our Board, we do not expect to make further equity grants to our directors until 2026.

To determine the value of the periodic equity grants made to our Board in 2022, the Compensation Committee engaged Aon Consulting to gather competitive market data for outside directors and compare our director compensation structure to the market. Aon Consulting's analysis included a comparative analysis of the director cash compensation and long-term equity compensation for the general industry.

According to the Aon Consulting analysis, the average annual cash compensation paid to our Board was well below the 25th percentile of director cash compensation for the general industry. After considering the Aon Consulting analysis, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, an equity grant for each director in 2022 with a total annual target value of $203,000. The grants to the directors are intended to be 4-year grants. As such, the annual target value of $203,000 was multiplied by 4 to determine the total value of the stock option grant of $812,000. This is consistent with the methodology used to determine the grants to the named executive officers as discussed in Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

The value of the 2022 equity grant, combined with the total annual cash compensation in 2022, brings NVR's total director compensation to approximately the 75th percentile of the general industry, with a higher weighting of compensation in long-term equity grants. We believe that weighting the compensation of our directors heavily towards long-term equity compensation serves to further align the interests of our directors and shareholders.

After considering feedback received from our shareholders, we eliminated the NVR return on capital performance metric as a criterion for vesting in the 2022 periodic grant, such that vesting is contingent solely upon continued service as a director. On May 4, 2022, the then-serving directors received a grant of 574 fixed price stock options which vest in 25% increments on December 31, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027, subject to continued service as a director.

The following table sets forth the outstanding stock option awards for our directors at December 31, 2022, excluding Mr. Saville's outstanding awards, which are disclosed in the Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2022 table for the named executive officers:

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)For awards granted prior to 2022, the awards are 50% time-based options and 50% performance options, where the vesting for 50% of the award is based on continued service through the vesting dates, and the vesting for the remaining 50% of the award is based on continued service through the vesting date and NVR's return on capital performance during the three year period ended December 31 of the first year listed in the column labeled "Ratable vesting on each of December 31." For performance-based options, the amount disclosed is based on the target number of options, which is the same as the maximum. See the *Equity-Based Compensation* section in our *Compensation Discussion and Analysis* above. For awards granted in 2022, the vesting for the entire award is based solely on continued service through the vesting dates.

**Stock Ownership Requirements**

To further align the interests of our Board with our shareholders, we adopted stock ownership requirements for directors in 2000. The members of our Board are required to acquire and continuously hold a specified minimum level of our Common Stock. Under our stock ownership requirements, Board members must acquire and hold Common Stock with a total fair market value equal to five times their $75,000 annual retainer fee, which is $375,000. Board members must satisfy the stock ownership requirement within three years of first becoming subject to the stock ownership requirement, and at a minimum, have satisfied one-third of the requirement after one year, and two-thirds of the requirement after two years. All members of our Board are in compliance with our stock ownership requirement.

**Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditor**

**(Proposal No. 2)**

At the Annual Meeting, our Board will recommend shareholder ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent auditor for 2023. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that continued retention of KPMG LLP serves the best interests of NVR and its shareholders. KPMG LLP has served as our independent auditor since 1987. The Audit Committee annually considers rotation of the audit firm and is directly involved in the selection of the lead engagement partner. If the appointment is not ratified, the Board will consider whether it should select another independent auditor. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the meeting to respond to shareholders' questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire.

**Required Vote**

The number of votes cast for the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast against the proposal for approval of the proposal.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTING "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF KPMG LLP AS NVR'S INDEPENDENT AUDITOR FOR 2023.**

**FEES PAID OR INCURRED FOR KPMG LLP DURING THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31:**

The Audit Committee annually evaluates what types of audit and non-audit services (permitted by law) that, subject to certain limits, can be entered into with pre-approval authority granted by the Audit Committee and will grant that authority, if applicable, pursuant to an Audit Committee resolution. For 2022 and 2021, under separate authorizations applicable to each respective year, the Audit Committee delegated to our Chairman of the Audit Committee, CEO and CFO, together or separately, in our name and on our behalf, the authority, subject to individual cost limits, to engage KPMG LLP to provide the following pre-approved services:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accounting guidance and technical assistance for the implementation of newly issued accounting pronouncements and standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accounting guidance and technical assistance related to the application of existing accounting pronouncements and standards to our transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• SEC registration statement comfort letters and consents.

The aggregate amount for all pre-approved services may not exceed 50% of the annual audit fee. The Audit Committee Chairman, the CEO and CFO must report any such audit-related or non-audit services to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Fees incurred during 2022 and 2021 were approved directly by our Audit Committee.

**Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation**

**(Proposal No. 3)**

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing our shareholders an opportunity to indicate whether they support our named executive officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This advisory vote, commonly referred to as "say on pay," is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but instead relates to the compensation paid to the named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, including the *Compensation Discussion and Analysis*, the tabular disclosures regarding named executive officer compensation, and the narrative disclosure accompanying the tabular presentations. These disclosures allow our shareholders to view the trends in our executive compensation program and the application of our compensation philosophies for the years presented. We are currently holding "say on pay" advisory votes on an annual basis.

We actively monitor our executive compensation practices in light of the industries in which we operate and the marketplace for talent in which we compete. We are focused on compensating our named executive officers fairly and in a manner that incentivizes high levels of performance while providing us the tools to attract and retain the best talent. As discussed in the *Compensation Discussion and Analysis* included in this Proxy Statement, we believe that our executive compensation program properly links executive compensation to our performance and aligns the interests of our named executive officers with those of our shareholders. Specifically:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We pay cash compensation to our named executive officers in amounts that we believe to be consistent with the cash compensation paid to comparable positions in other publicly traded companies within our industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We limit the annual cash bonus opportunity of our named executive officers to 100% of their base salary, and have not provided any opportunity to exceed that amount for short-term quarterly or annual performance in excess of our business plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We place a substantial portion of compensation to our executive officers at risk in the form of stock options that vest over a long-term period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We issue equity grants every four years, including performance-based stock options, to our named executive officers that vest over a long period of time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our named executive officers must achieve and maintain a designated robust level of ownership in NVR stock.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the following resolution:

**"Resolved, that the compensation paid to NVR's named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the related footnotes and narrative disclosures, is hereby APPROVED."**

Although this vote is advisory and is not binding on NVR, the Compensation Committee of the Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions. For the advisory resolution to be approved, the number of votes cast "FOR" the resolution must exceed the votes cast "AGAINST" the resolution.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTING "FOR"**

**THE FORGOING RESOLUTION.**

------

**Advisory Vote on Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation**

**(Proposal No. 4)**

Section 14A of the 1934 Act provides shareholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on how often we should hold future advisory votes on executive compensation. Shareholders may indicate whether they would prefer to have future advisory votes on executive compensation every year, every two years or every three years.

Our shareholders voted on a similar proposal in 2017 with the majority voting to hold the advisory vote on executive compensation every year. We continue to believe that an advisory vote should be held every year so that our shareholders may provide input to us regarding our named executive officer compensation annually.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is non-binding. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinion of our shareholders and will consider the outcome of this vote in establishing the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

It is expected that the next advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation will occur at the 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Shareholders may cast their advisory vote to conduct advisory votes on executive compensation every "1 Year," "2 Years," "3 Years," or "Abstain." A plurality of the votes cast for this proposal will determine the shareholders' preferred frequency for holding an advisory vote on executive compensation.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR HOLDING FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EVERY "1 YEAR."**

**Shareholder Proposals For the 2024 Annual Meeting**

Shareholder proposals that are intended by a shareholder to be included in our proxy statement for our next annual shareholders meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the SEC must be received in the office of NVR's Secretary no later than November 16, 2023.

Shareholder proposals that are not submitted for inclusion in our proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8, but that one or more shareholders intend to propose for consideration at our next annual meeting, must be submitted to the office of NVR's Secretary no earlier than November 16, 2023 and no later than December 16, 2023 and must otherwise comply with the conditions set forth in Section 2.04 of our Bylaws (or, the case of director nominations, Section 3.03 of our Bylaws). Any shareholder proposal that is not submitted within the applicable time frame will not be eligible for presentation or consideration at the next annual meeting.

Our Bylaws permit shareholders owning 3% or more of our common stock for at least three years to nominate up to 20% of our Board and include these nominees in our proxy materials. The number of shareholders who may aggregate their shares to meet the 3% ownership threshold is limited to 20. The shareholder(s) and nominees(s) must also satisfy the other requirements in our Bylaws. Notice of proxy access for director nominees must be received no earlier than October 17, 2023 and no later than November 16, 2023. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules (once effective), 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 March 3, 2024.

**Householding Information**

SEC rules allow us to deliver a single copy of our proxy materials to any household at which two or more shareholders reside. We believe this rule benefits everyone as it eliminates duplicate mailings that shareholders living at the same address receive, and it reduces our printing and mailing costs. This rule applies to any annual reports, proxy statements, proxy statements combined with a prospectus and information statements. If your household would like to receive single rather than duplicate mailings in the future, or if shareholders in your household received duplicate mailings and would like to receive a single mailing for the household, please contact your bank, broker or other intermediary. If a shareholder holds shares in a brokerage account or through a broker, bank, trust or other nominee, the shareholder may continue to receive some duplicate mailings.

**Other Matters**

Management knows of no other business to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting, other than those items listed in the notice of the Annual Meeting referred to herein. If any other business should properly come before the Annual Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, it is intended that the proxies will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the persons acting thereunder.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2022, including consolidated financial statements and other information, accompanies this Proxy Statement but does not form a part of the proxy soliciting material. A complete list of the shareholders of record entitled to vote at our Annual Meeting will be open and available for examination by any shareholder, for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at our offices at 11700 Plaza America Drive, Suite 500, Reston, Virginia 20190, from April 14, 2023 through May 1, 2023 and at the time and place of the Annual Meeting.

**Copies of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the financial statements and schedules thereto, which we are required to file with the SEC will be provided in print without charge upon the written request of any shareholder. Such requests may be sent to Investor Relations, NVR, Inc., 11700 Plaza America Drive, Suite 500, Reston, Virginia, 20190. Our SEC filings are also available to the public from our website at www.nvrinc.com, and the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.**
