On March 30, 2023, we posted on our corporate website at www.frontdoorhome.com, and began mailing to stockholders who requested paper copies, this Proxy Statement and our 2022 Annual Report.

## Fiscal 2022 Performance Overview
Despite 2022 being one of the most challenging macroeconomic environments that we have experienced, our Company, led by our named executive officers, delivered another year of growth in 2022 and advanced key strategic objectives, including:

• Revenue increased 4% to $1,662 million, which was comprised of increases in price and a change in product mix, partially offset by lower volumes;

• Gross Profit decreased 10% to $710 million, primarily driven by higher inflation;

• Net Income decreased 45% to $71 million**;**

• Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> decreased 33% to $214 million, primarily as a result of higher contract claims costs driven by inflationary cost pressures, partially offset by higher revenue conversion<sup>(2)</sup>;

• Customer retention rate improved 150 basis points to 75.7%<sup>(3)</sup>; and

• Utilization of Streem technology and on-demand business continued to evolve as we prepared for the launch of the Frontdoor brand in 2023.

(1) We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income before: depreciation and amortization expense; goodwill and intangibles impairment; restructuring charges; provision for income taxes; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; loss on extinguishment of debt; and other non-operating expenses. See Part II. Item 7 in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

(2) Revenue conversion includes the impact of the change in the number of home service plans as well as the impact of year-over-year price changes. The impact of the change in the number of home service plans considers the associated revenue on those plans less an estimate of contract claims costs based on margin experience in the prior year period.

(3) Customer retention rate is presented on a rolling 12-month basis in order to avoid seasonal anomalies.

### What We Do and Don't Do Within Our Executive Compensation Program
In designing our executive compensation program, our Compensation Committee has incorporated certain practices into the program and omitted certain other practices, as follows.

### Our Compensation Pay Mix
A significant portion of the 2022 total direct compensation for our executives consisted of variable, at-risk compensation. Our calculation of the proportion of variable, at-risk total direct compensation includes the 2022 AIP award at target and long-term equity-based incentive award dollar value at target. The following charts illustrate the proportional components of 2022 compensation for our CEO, and the average proportional components of 2022 compensation for our other NEOs, as well as a percentage of overall, variable, at-risk compensation.

![](lftdrx10x1.jpg)

For comparison purposes, the information above for our CEO reflects an annualized fiscal 2022 salary and AIP award for Mr. Cobb and his long-term equity grants received due to his role as CEO, including his sign-on equity award; no compensation awarded to him for his services as a director and Chairman of the Board of Directors is reflected. The information above for "Average Other NEOs" reflects the average compensation paid to Messrs. Fiarman and Turcotte; Ms. Ross' 2022 compensation components are not reflected, as she was not eligible to receive an AIP award or annual long-term equity-based incentive award for 2022.

# **PROPOSAL 1** **Election of Directors** 
The Company is seeking stockholder approval of the election of the seven nominees identified below who are currently serving as directors of the Company. In accordance with the Company's restated certificate of incorporation, the Board of Directors was declassified as of the end of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2022 Annual Meeting"). In accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, as Richard P. Fox attained the age of 75 after the 2022 Annual Meeting (at which time he was elected to serve a one-year term), he will serve on our Board until the 2023 Annual Meeting, and therefore is not standing for re-election. The size of the Board will be reduced to seven members upon the commencement of the 2023 Annual Meeting. Accordingly, each director nominee, if elected, will serve for a term of one year and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the "Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee"), has nominated for election at the 2023 Annual Meeting to serve as directors until the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, the slate of nominees listed in the table below. Each of the director nominees is currently serving as a director of the Company.

The director nominees, last elected to the Board of Directors at the 2022 Annual Meeting, are as follows.

---

| |
|:---|
| **Director Nominees**  |
| William C. Cobb |
| D. Steve Boland |
| Anna C. Catalano |
| Peter L. Cella |
| Christopher L. Clipper |
| Brian P. McAndrews |
| Liane J. Pelletier |

---

The Board of Directors knows of no reason why these nominees should be unable or unwilling to serve, but if that should be the case, proxies will be voted for the election of such substitute(s) as the Board may designate.

Background information about each of the director nominees can be found below under "—*Directors of the Company."*

# Knowledge, Skills and Experience of Directors

## Skills Matrix
The following matrix provides information regarding our directors, including certain types of knowledge, skills, and/or experience possessed by one or more of our directors, which our Board of Directors believes are relevant to our business and industry. The matrix also indicates which directors are independent and the tenure for each director.

The matrix does not encompass all of the knowledge, skills or experiences of our directors, but focuses on categories in which our directors possess substantial knowledge, skills and experience in an area. The fact that a director has not indicated substantial knowledge, skill and experience in an area does not mean the director in question is unable to contribute to the decision-making process in that area. The type and degree of knowledge, skill and experience listed below may vary among the members of the Board of Directors.

# Director Compensation
The Company uses a combination of cash and equity-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on our Board of Directors. In setting director compensation for non-employee directors, our Board considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company, as well as the knowledge, skill and experience levels required by the Company of members of our Board. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no compensation for their service as directors.

## Compensation and Stock Paid to Directors
Under the director compensation program, members of our Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company receive an annual retainer comprised of cash and stock. Additionally, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if not an employee, or Lead Director and the chairs of the Audit Committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee"), the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, each receive an additional retainer. The types, amounts, forms and timing of these retainers are set forth in the following table.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Retainer Type** | **Annual Retainer** | **Form of Payment** | **Timing of Payment** |
| Base Retainer | $230000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;• $80,000 in Cash<br>• $150,000 in shares of fully vested Common Stock<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;• In quarterly installments (i.e., $20,000 per quarter)<br>• Annually, at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders<br>|
| Retainer for non-employee Chairman of the Board | $150000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;• $50,000 in Cash<br>• $100,000 in shares of fully vested Common Stock<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;• In quarterly installments (i.e., $12,500 per quarter)<br>• Annually, at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders<br>|
| Retainer for Lead Director | $25000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;• In quarterly installments (i.e., $6,250 per quarter)<br>|
| Retainer for Chairs of Audit Committee and Compensation Committee | $20000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;• In quarterly installments (i.e., $5,000 per quarter)<br>|
| Retainer for Chair of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee | $10000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;• In quarterly installments (i.e., $2,500 per quarter)<br>|

---

Each director may elect to defer the receipt of the shares of Common Stock as deferred share equivalents ("DSEs") to a point in the future. The shares are issued pursuant to the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan"), and the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock granted as part of the equity retainer is determined by using the grant date fair value, as defined in the 2018 Plan as the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") on the trading day that immediately precedes the grant date. This value is then used to determine the number of shares required to satisfy the share portion of the director's equity retainer, rounded to the nearest whole share for the avoidance of fractional shares.

As of June 1, 2022, Mr. Cobb, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, was elected as the Company's CEO and as of that time, ceased receiving compensation for his membership on our Board or as Chairman of our Board. Mr. McAndrews was appointed by the independent directors as the independent Lead Director, commencing June 1, 2022. On May 19, 2022, the Board approved an amendment to the director compensation program providing for the independent Lead Director to receive an additional annual cash retainer as described above. A new director, or director who assumes a role for which an additional retainer is payable, shall receive a prorated award of cash and/or Common Stock, as applicable, on the next regular payment date for the applicable retainer.

We reimburse all of our directors for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending Board meetings and committee meetings. The Company will also reimburse certain expenses incurred by directors in connection with attending director education programs, as well as memberships in director organizations.

## Composition of the Board of Directors
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Our Board is composed of a majority of independent directors. In accordance with our Charter, effective upon the conclusion of our 2022 Annual Meeting, our Board became fully declassified, and each director will serve for a term of one year and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

At any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, the election will be determined by a majority of the votes cast, in the case of an uncontested election, with directors not receiving a majority of the votes cast required to tender their resignations for consideration by the Board of Directors. In the case of a contested election, the election will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast.

The number of members on our Board of Directors may be fixed by resolution adopted from time to time by the Board. Any vacancies or newly created directorships may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Each director shall hold office until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

The names and certain information with respect to each of our current directors, including Mr. Fox who is not standing for re-election at the 2023 Annual Meeting, is set forth above in the section entitled *"Proposal 1, Election of Directors—Directors of the Company."*

The Board of Directors held 11 meetings during fiscal 2022. In fiscal 2022, each director attended our 2022 Annual Meeting, and each of our directors attended at least 95% of the meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served as a member during fiscal 2022.

## Diversity of Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors values diversity of its members, including gender, racial and ethnic diversity, as well as a range of different experiences, educations, backgrounds, perspectives, skills and knowledge. Our Board is committed to seeking women and individuals from minority groups to serve as directors. To that end, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will endeavor to include women and individuals from minority groups in the pool from which new nominees are chosen.

The following table reflects information provided by our directors regarding their race, ethnicity and gender.

## Director Independence
A majority of our Board of Directors is composed of directors who are "independent," as defined by the rules of the Nasdaq and the Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by our Board. We seek to have all of our non-management directors qualify as "independent" under these standards. Our Board has established guidelines to assist it in making its determination of director independence. These guidelines provide that no director qualifies as "independent" unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with our Company or our subsidiaries (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with our Company or any of our subsidiaries). In making its assessment, our Board determined that any transactions both made in the ordinary course of business between our Company and any director affiliate, and within Nasdaq and our independence standards, were not pertinent to an evaluation of independence.

As of June 1, 2022, Mr. Cobb, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, was elected as the Company's CEO and was therefore no longer considered independent by our Board. Accordingly, also effective on June 1, 2022, Mr. Cobb ceased to serve as a member of any of the Board's committees, which are comprised of directors who have been determined to meet the independence standards described above. In accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, in the event that the Chairman of the Board is not independent, the independent directors are required to annually appoint an independent Lead Director. On May 19, 2022, Mr. McAndrews was appointed by the independent directors as the independent Lead Director of the Board as of June 1, 2022.

**frontdoor** • 2023 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **19**

[**Back to Contents**](#_TOC)

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Boland, Cella, Clipper, Fox and McAndrews and each of Mses. Catalano and Pelletier were independent under the director independence standards described above. Our Board will assess on a regular basis, and at least annually, the independence of directors and, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, will make a determination as to which members are independent.

## Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors has the following standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The charter for each of these committees is available without charge on our corporate website at www.frontdoorhome.com.

### Audit Committee

For additional information on the Compensation Committee's activities, its use of outside advisors and its consideration and determination of executive compensation, as well as the role of our CEO in recommending the amount or form of compensation paid to the other named executive officers, see *"Compensation Discussion and Analysis."*

The current members of the Compensation Committee are Anna C. Catalano (Chair), Peter L. Cella and Liane J. Pelletier.

#### Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

### Board Leadership Structure
Our Board of Directors is currently led by our Chairman, William C. Cobb. As stated in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has no policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and CEO. Following the resignation of Rexford Tibbens as the Company's President, CEO and Director, and effective as of June 1, 2022, Mr. Cobb has also served as the Company's CEO. The Board determined that Mr. Cobb's qualifications, background, skills and experience qualified him to serve as the Company's CEO, notwithstanding that Mr. Cobb would no longer be an independent director.

In accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, since the Chairman of the Board of Directors is not independent, the independent directors are required to annually appoint an independent Lead Director. Mr. McAndrews was appointed by the independent directors as the independent Lead Director as of June 1, 2022.

#### Lead Director Responsibilities
The Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines further specify the authority and responsibilities of the Lead Director, who is responsible to help coordinate the efforts of the independent directors in the interest of ensuring that objective judgment is brought to bear on significant issues relating to the governance and operations of the Company, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Presiding over all meetings of the Board of Directors at which the Chairman of the Board is not present, including meetings of the non-management and independent directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Collaborating with the Chairman of the Board of Directors on Board meeting agendas and advising on such agendas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Assisting in scheduling Board of Directors meetings to ensure that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Requesting the inclusion of items in Board of Directors meeting materials and advising on Board meeting materials generally to ensure the appropriate flow of information to the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Calling meetings of the independent directors when necessary and appropriate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Collaborating with the Chairman of the Board of Directors in determining the need for special meetings of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Serving as the liaison for major stockholders who request direct communications with the Lead Director;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Serving as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Company's management team, as appropriate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Such other powers, duties and responsibilities as a majority of the independent directors of the Board shall approve.

### Executive Sessions
Our Board of Directors holds regular and special meetings throughout each calendar year. In conjunction with those meetings, executive sessions, including separate meetings of only the independent directors, are regularly scheduled throughout the year. Our independent Lead Director presides over the executive sessions of the Board. The committees of the Board, as described more fully above, also meet regularly in executive sessions.

### Selection of Nominees for Election to the Board
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will identify and select, or recommend that the Board of Directors select, Board candidates who the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes are qualified and suitable to become members of the Board, consistent with the criteria for selection of new directors adopted from time to time by the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider, among other things, the Board's current composition, including experience, diversity and balance of inside, outside and independent directors, and the general qualifications of the potential nominees in light of director qualification criteria established by our Board, as described further below under "*—Director Qualification Standards*."

In identifying candidates for election to the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by directors, stockholders and other sources. The Nominating

**frontdoor** • 2023 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **23**

------

[**Back to Contents**](#_TOC)

and Corporate Governance Committee will review each candidate's qualifications, including whether a candidate possesses any of the specific qualities and skills desirable in certain members of the Board. Evaluations of candidates generally involve a review of background materials, internal discussions and interviews with selected candidates as appropriate. Upon selection of a qualified candidate, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will recommend the candidate for consideration by the full Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has engaged third-party search firms to assist it in identifying, evaluating and recommending potential nominees.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates proposed by stockholders on the same basis as recommendations from other sources. Any stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective candidate for the Board of Directors for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may do so by submitting the name and qualifications of the prospective candidate in writing to the following address: c/o Corporate Secretary, Frontdoor, Inc., 3400 Players Club Parkway, Ste. 300, Memphis, Tennessee 38125-1731. Any such submission should also describe, among other things, the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that make the prospective candidate a suitable nominee for the Board. Our Bylaws set forth the complete requirements for direct nomination by a stockholder of persons for election to the Board.

### Director Qualification Standards
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter sets forth certain criteria for the committee to consider in evaluating potential director nominees. In addition to evaluating a potential director's independence, the committee will consider whether director candidates satisfy criteria established by the Board of Directors in order to assure that our Board will have the necessary breadth and depth to perform its oversight function effectively, such as: integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards; demonstrated business acumen, experience and ability to exercise sound judgments and willingness to contribute positively to the decision-making process of the Company; skills and experience in one or more areas relevant to us; willingness and capability to take the time to actively participate in Board and committee meetings and related activities; ability to understand the interests of our various constituencies; and the ability to satisfy independence standards with no conflicts of interest. Our Board values diversity on the Board, including gender, racial and ethnic diversity, as well as a range of different experiences, educations, backgrounds, perspectives, skills and knowledge. Our Board is committed to seeking women and individuals from minority groups to serve as directors. To that end, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will endeavor to include women and individuals from minority groups in the pool from which new nominees are chosen. The committee may reevaluate and recommend for Board approval the relevant criteria for Board membership from time to time in response to changing business factors or regulatory requirements. Our full Board will be responsible for selecting candidates for election as directors based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

### Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to address significant corporate governance issues. These guidelines provide a framework for our corporate governance initiatives and cover topics including, but not limited to, director qualification and responsibilities, Board composition, director orientation and continuing education, ethics and conflict of interest, Board access to management and advisers, director compensation, Board and committee self-evaluation, the responsibilities of our Lead Director, Board meetings and administration and succession planning. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing and reviewing the guidelines and reporting and recommending to our Board any changes to the guidelines. The guidelines are available without charge on our corporate website.

### Stockholder Engagement
We expect all of our directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders and be available to answer questions from stockholders at the meetings. Between meetings, we expect William C. Cobb, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO, and/or Jessica P. Ross, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), to engage with stockholders on a regular basis at industry and financial conferences, road shows, and one-on-one meetings. In addition, we are committed to engaging in stockholder outreach to better understand our stockholders' perspectives and to better understand their priorities and concerns on the topics of our corporate governance and executive compensation, as well as broader ESG practices. We believe that ongoing engagement builds mutual trust and understanding with our stockholders.

![](im2996262341n494805150.jpg)

During the last twelve months, we have reached out to or engaged with many of our largest stockholders—representing a majority of our outstanding shares—to discuss any feedback they may have. The feedback we have received from our major stockholders has been supportive, and included suggestions regarding our strategy, shareholder communications, a focus on stock price appreciation, ESG disclosure and linkage to strategy and considerations for linkage of incentive compensation to our strategy. See the sections below*"*—*Environmental, Social and Governance"* and *"Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Determination of Executive Compensation—Prior Year Say on Pay Vote" and "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Components of 2022 Compensation—Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards—2022 Awards"* for more information on how we addressed these comments in fiscal 2022.

### Communicating with the Board of Directors
Any stockholder or interested party who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors as a whole, the independent directors, or any individual member of the Board or any committee of the Board may write to or email the Company at: c/o General Counsel, Frontdoor, Inc., 3400 Players Club Parkway, Ste. 300, Memphis, Tennessee 38125-1731 or Board_of_Directors@frontdoorhome.com.

Our Board of Directors has designated our General Counsel or his or her designee as its agent to receive and review written communications addressed to the Board, any of its committees, or any Board member or group of Board members. The General Counsel may communicate with the sender for any clarification. The General Counsel will promptly forward to the Chairman of the Board and Lead Director all communications, other than ordinary business communications, and in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and CEO, will determine the next steps. The General Counsel will also forward to the appropriate committee chair any communication alleging financial, legal, ethical or compliance issues or any other matter deemed by the General Counsel to be potentially material to us. As an initial matter, the General Counsel will determine whether the communication is a proper communication for the Board. The General Counsel will not forward to the Board, any committee or any director communications of a personal nature or not related to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, including, without limitation, junk mail and mass mailings, business or employment solicitations, routine customer service complaints, new product or service suggestions, opinion survey polls or any other communications deemed by the General Counsel to be insignificant to the Company, which we consider to be ordinary business communications. The General Counsel provides regular reports on the communications received to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

### Risk Oversight
Our Board of Directors as a whole has responsibility for overseeing our risk management. The Board exercises this oversight responsibility directly and through its committees, and each committee provides reports to the full Board regarding the matters that it oversees. Because it directly impacts oversight of our operations and our strategy, the Board is also responsible for oversight of our enterprise risk management ("ERM") program. The oversight responsibility of the Board and its committees is informed by reports from our management team and from our internal audit department that are designed to provide visibility to the Board into the identification and assessment of key risks and our risk mitigation strategies, and the Board also has access to external advisors as needed.

![](im1650762173n1994106243.jpg)

The full Board of Directors has primary responsibility for evaluating strategic and operational risk management, and succession planning. Our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our major financial and accounting risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including policies and procedures for assessing and managing risk, and for overseeing compliance related to legal and regulatory exposure, and meets regularly with our chief legal and compliance officer. Our Audit Committee also undertakes responsibility for assisting the Board in overseeing cybersecurity risk, including policies and procedures for assessing and managing that risk, and meets with appropriate members of our management team regarding such risk at least quarterly. Our Compensation Committee evaluates risks arising from our compensation policies and practices, as more fully described below. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks associated with ESG issues, including the assessment and development of plans to address risks arising from ESG issues.

#### Compensation Risk Assessment
During 2022, under the oversight of our Compensation Committee, we performed an assessment of risks related to our compensation programs, including our executive compensation programs. We determined that the risks arising from our 2022 compensation policies and practices were not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

### Code of Conduct and Financial Code of Ethics
Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, as well as a Financial Code of Ethics that applies to the CEO, CFO, Controller, and other designated officers and employees, including our financial employees. The Code of Conduct and Financial Code of Ethics each address matters such as acting with integrity, conflicts of interest, confidentiality and compliance with laws and regulations. The Company takes seriously allegations of non-compliance with the Code of Conduct, other Company policies and applicable laws and regulations. The Company maintains the confidentiality of information and individuals related to reports of violations required by law or when needed to properly examine or adequately respond to the matter. Employees may submit concerns and other complaints, including with respect to accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, fraud or other non-compliance anonymously through our Ethics Helpline or corporate website. The Code of Conduct and the Financial Code of Ethics are available without charge on our corporate website.

We will promptly disclose any substantive changes in or waiver of, together with reasons for any waiver of, either of these codes granted to our executive officers or our directors, by posting such information on our corporate website.

### Environmental, Social and Governance
Frontdoor is committed to developing ESG initiatives that strengthen our value as a service provider, employer and global corporate citizen. In 2022, we prepared our second sustainability report (our "Sustainability Report"). We recognize that we are still in the early stages of our ESG journey, but are committed to evolving and strengthening our practices and disclosures to further operate in a way that benefits those in the world around us.

#### Our Company Governance and ESG Oversight
Good corporate citizenship begins with good corporate governance. Corporate governance and responsibility are ingrained in our culture — and are the basis for our good decision-making, accountability, risk management and performance optimization.

#### ESG Oversight
We believe that authentic, meaningful ESG initiatives strengthen our value as a service provider, as an employer and as a corporate citizen.

Executing those objectives is the responsibility of our cross-functional ESG management team. Consisting of our CEO and other senior leaders, it ensures not only that our ESG efforts are meaningful to the business and to stakeholders, but also that they are feasible enough to be successfully implemented and sustained over time. A summary of the ESG oversight and implementation activities of our Board committees and management is presented to the right.

#### Responsibility for Our Employees and Society
As a service provider, we recognize that human capital is one of our greatest assets and the future of our business. We further recognize the positive impact that our actions can have on our communities and value chain.

#### Employees
To ensure our employees' greatest opportunity for success, we strive to create an environment where they can bring their best selves to work, as well as be fully engaged and supported. Following are some highlights of the ways in which we supported our employees in 2022:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expanded our diversity and inclusion efforts to launch four new employee resource groups;

#### Our Customers and Value Chain
Our commitments to our customers include not only performing services in accordance with our agreements, but also doing so in a way that respects consumers' privacy and ensures that we are focused on solving our customers' problems and transforming their experience. We regularly solicit customer feedback and publicly report on customer retention metrics quarterly.

Our network of contractors is critical to providing services to our customers. In 2022, we continued to drive attention to rewarding career opportunities in the skilled trades and growing the pipeline of talent by building partnerships with organizations aligned with our goals and leading the integration of technology in the industry.

#### Stewardship of our Environment and World
We recognize that changes in our environment, such as climate change, are a risk to our business and communities, and believe that efficiency in the use of resources is important. At the center of these efforts is our Environmental Policy, which is administered by our ESG management committee. Following are some of the ways we lived our commitments to our environment and world in 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Assessed and estimated our Scope 1 and 2 emissions, where data was available to us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continued our program to estimate reduced truck rolls due to use of our Streem technology;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continued tracking estimated savings in emissions and water consumption from repair and replacement of our customers' appliances, HVAC systems and water heaters; and

To review additional information about the Company's ESG initiatives and review our Sustainability Report, please go to our corporate website at https://www.frontdoorhome.com/about/sustainability. The information contained on or accessible through our corporate website, including the Company's Sustainability Report, is not considered part of this Proxy Statement.

### Procedures for Treatment of Complaints Regarding Accounting Controls and Auditing Matters
In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our Board of Directors has adopted procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting controls or auditing matters and to allow for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees and others of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. These procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints are also available for use by employees who would like to raise other concerns, such as concerns related to harassment, conflicts of interest or other matters discussed in our Code of Conduct.

### Certain Securities Transactions

#### Short Selling
Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy that prohibits our directors, officers and employees from short sales and transactions in puts and calls of our equity securities. Short sales of our securities evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that such securities will decline in value and signal to the market an absence of confidence in our short-term prospects. Short sales may also reduce the seller's incentive to improve our performance.

#### Pledges and Hedges
In addition, our Board of Directors has adopted a policy that prohibits any of our directors, officers and employees from pledging our equity securities, trading on margin or engaging in hedging transactions in our equity securities. Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions (such as zero-cost collars, equity swaps, exchange funds and forward sale contracts) allow a person to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the person to continue to own the stock, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the person may no longer have the same objectives as our other stockholders.

# PROPOSAL 2 Ratification of the Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023. The Audit Committee first retained Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm in October 2018 immediately following the Spin-off, and Deloitte has continued to serve in that capacity through fiscal 2022.

The Audit Committee annually evaluates the independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm and determines whether to retain the current firm or consider other firms. In addition, in conjunction with the mandated rotation of our external auditor's lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its chair are directly involved in the selection of the external auditor's new lead engagement partner.

In selecting Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023, the Audit Committee considered carefully Deloitte's performance as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm in fiscal 2022, its independence with respect to the services to be performed, its technical expertise and knowledge of the Company's industry and operations, the reasonableness of its fees, and its general reputation for adherence to professional auditing standards. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the continued retention of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Representatives of Deloitte are expected to participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Ratification by the stockholders of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm is not required, but the Board of Directors believes that it is desirable to submit this matter to the stockholders. If the selection of Deloitte is not ratified at the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee will investigate the reason for the rejection and reconsider the appointment. Even in the event our stockholders ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during fiscal 2023 if the committee determines that such a change would be in the Company's and its stockholders' best interests.

### Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee's Policy Regarding Pre-Approval of Services of the Independent Auditor provides for pre-approval of audit, audit-related, tax and other services specifically described in the policy. Requests for services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee must be submitted to the Audit Committee by both our independent auditor (or independent registered public accounting firm) and our CFO or other appropriately designated officer, and must include a joint statement stating that the performance of such services will not impair the independence of the independent auditor and whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence. The policy authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services, provided that such authority shall not include the approval of services for which the associated fees exceed $150,000. Pursuant to this delegation, the committee member to whom such authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decision to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to its chair, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the policy.

All of the services described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the policy.

# Audit Committee Report
The following is the report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors with respect to the Company's audited financial statements for fiscal 2022.

The Audit Committee is governed by the Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Company's Board of Directors. Our Board has determined that each current member of the Audit Committee, namely Richard P. Fox, Peter L. Cella, Christopher L. Clipper and Liane J. Pelletier, (i) is an "independent" director based on Nasdaq Rule 5605 and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, (ii) satisfies the SEC's additional independence requirement for members of audit committees, and (iii) is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by SEC rules.

The Audit Committee reviews the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee has met and reviewed and discussed the Company's audited financial statements with management, which has primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. In this context, the Audit Committee has held discussions with management and Deloitte, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2022, regarding the fair and complete presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP and regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee has discussed significant accounting policies applied by the Company in its financial statements, as well as alternative treatments. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Deloitte is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of the Company's financial statements with U.S. GAAP and the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also has held discussions with management and Deloitte regarding the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

In addition, the Audit Committee has:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and discussed them with management and Deloitte;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• discussed with Deloitte various communications that Deloitte is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including matters required to be discussed by the applicable standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") and the SEC; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Deloitte's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with Deloitte their independence.

Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company's Board of Directors that the Company's audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022.

The Audit Committee has selected Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023, and the Board of Directors has approved submitting such selection to the stockholders for ratification.

This report is being provided by the following independent directors who constituted the Audit Committee as of February 23, 2023, the date of the approval of this report by the Audit Committee.

# PROPOSAL 3 Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation
As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company is seeking advisory stockholder approval of the compensation of its named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules. Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following advisory resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and any related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED."

As described more fully in the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section of this Proxy Statement, the 2022 executive compensation program of the Company was designed to achieve the following key objectives:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Align executive interests with those of stockholders by focusing management on the attainment of the Company's strategic objectives, rewarding long-term, value-creating growth and encouraging stock ownership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Support the building of a highly engaged, high performance culture with a strong shared talent mindset in support of a one-company philosophy as measured through the Company's employee engagement survey, and succession plans for key positions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Attract, retain, focus, and reward highly motivated talent with strong team orientation and sense of accountability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Be performance-based, with variable pay constituting a significant portion of total compensation, with differentiated awards based on an executive's individual performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Encourage equity ownership among executives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Encourage appropriate, and not excessive, risk taking;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Be simple to understand and administer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Target total direct compensation consisting of salary, annual cash incentive and long-term equity-based incentive awards to be competitive with our peer group to encourage growth and scale, while recognizing key competitive, fairness and performance considerations.

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the design of the 2022 executive compensation program, and hence the compensation awarded to named executive officers under the program, fulfilled these objectives. In particular, a significant portion of the compensation of the named executive officers consisted of long-term equity incentive compensation that aligns their compensation with the interests of stockholders over the long term.

Stockholders are urged to read the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section of this Proxy Statement, which discusses in detail how the Company's compensation approach implements the Company's compensation objectives.

While the results of the vote are non-binding and advisory in nature, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors intend to review and consider the results of the vote. The next vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers is expected to be held at the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

### Fiscal 2022 Performance Overview
Despite 2022 being one of the most challenging macroeconomic environments that we have experienced, our Company, led by our named executive officers, delivered another year of growth in 2022 and advanced key strategic objectives, including:

• Revenue increased 4% to $1,662 million, which was comprised of increases in price and a change in product mix, partially offset by lower volumes;

• Gross Profit decreased 10% to $710 million, primarily driven by higher inflation;

• Net Income decreased 45% to $71 million;

• Adjusted EBITDA\* decreased 33% to $214 million, primarily as a result of higher contract claims costs driven by inflationary cost pressures, partially offset by higher revenue conversion\*;

• Customer retention rate improved 150 basis points to 75.7%\*; and

• Utilization of Streem technology and on-demand business continued to evolve as we prepared for the launch of the Frontdoor brand in 2023.

\*

See page 5 of this Proxy Statement for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and source for a reconciliation to net income and additional information about our revenue conversion and customer retention rate**.**

## Objectives of Our Executive Compensation Program
Our compensation plans for executives (including the NEOs) are designed to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Align executive interests with those of stockholders by focusing management on the attainment of the Company's strategic objectives, rewarding long-term, value-creating growth and encouraging stock ownership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Support the building of a highly engaged, high performance culture with a strong shared talent mindset in support of a one-company philosophy as measured through the Company's employee engagement survey, and succession plans for key positions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Attract, retain, focus, and reward highly motivated talent with strong team orientation and sense of accountability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Be performance-based, with variable pay constituting a significant portion of total compensation, with differentiated awards based on an executive's individual performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Encourage equity ownership among executives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Encourage appropriate, and not excessive, risk-taking;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Be simple to understand and administer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Target total direct compensation consisting of salary, annual cash incentive and long-term equity-based incentive awards to be competitive with our peer group to encourage growth and scale, while recognizing key competitive, fairness and performance considerations.

We believe that our pay actions for 2022 and the programs we have established fully reflect these objectives.

## Elements of Executive Compensation, Including for NEOs
We believe it is necessary for our executive compensation program to be attractive to compete in the national market for executive talent and that our program must support our growth strategy and business objectives. As a result of this focus, we rely on competitive pay practices, and individual and business performance in determining the compensation of our executives. In making these compensation determinations, we also consider historical individual compensation levels and historical Company payout levels for annual cash incentives. The executive compensation program and underlying philosophy are reviewed at least annually to determine what, if any, modifications should be considered.

Each of these elements, discussed in more detail further below, plays an integral role in our balancing of executive rewards over short- and long-term periods and our ability to attract and retain key executives. We believe the design of our executive compensation program creates alignment between performance achieved and compensation awarded and motivates achievement of both annual goals and sustainable long-term performance.

## Determination of Executive Compensation

### Role of the Compensation Committee and Management
The role of our Compensation Committee is to assist our Board of Directors in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing, administering and monitoring our policies governing the compensation for our executive officers, including determining salaries and short- and long-term incentive awards.

The Compensation Committee will determine the CEO's compensation and report and discuss the approved compensation with our Board of Directors. Our CEO will recommend to the Compensation Committee compensation for our other executive officers based on his assessment of each executive officer's area of responsibility, individual performance, overall contribution and prevailing marketplace conditions. Our CEO provides input to the Compensation Committee regarding compensation mix, incentive plan design, pay levels and inducement packages pertaining to the recruitment of new executives. These items were assessed by the Compensation Committee, with input from the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant, and considered by the Compensation Committee as part of its evaluation of our executive compensation program

**frontdoor** • 2023 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **37**

[**Back to Contents**](#_TOC)

design. Our CEO will continue to play an active role in evaluating our executive leadership team and determining their compensation in support of the Compensation Committee's activities. However, the CEO does not play a role in determining his own compensation.

### Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC ("Meridian") as its independent compensation consultant for 2022. During the compensation planning process, the Compensation Committee expects its compensation consultant to provide analysis, recommendations, and advice that will inform the Compensation Committee's decisions. Meridian's services include, but are not limited to: (i) providing market pay comparisons pertaining to the Company's executives; (ii) assisting in the design and implementation of executive incentive plans to ensure appropriate linkage to stockholder value creation; (iii) updating the Compensation Committee on governance trends relating to executive compensation; and (iv) reviewing various proposals presented by management to the Compensation Committee on executive compensation matters. Pursuant to SEC rules, the Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Meridian and has concluded that Meridian, and the individual compensation advisers employed by Meridian, are independent and have no conflicts of interests that would prevent Meridian from independently providing services to the Compensation Committee.

### Peer Group
Our peer group for 2022, which is the same as our 2021 peer group, was established by our Compensation Committee with input from Meridian and reflects a group of companies with similar or adjacent business models and who source talent from the same labor pools as the Company. In determining the peer group, the size and performance of the companies were taken into consideration, with preference given to companies having revenues generally ranging from 0.4 to 6.6 times the revenue of the Company.

|:---|:---|
| **2022 Peer Group** | **2022 Peer Group** |
| ADT Inc.<br> Alarm.com Holdings, Inc.<br> Angi Inc.<br> Cars.com Inc.<br> FirstService Corporation<br> H&R Block, Inc.<br> HomeServe plc<br> IAA, Inc. | KAR Auction Services, Inc.<br> Realogy Holdings Corp.<br> Redfin Corporation<br> Vivint Smart Home, Inc.<br> WW International, Inc.<br> Yelp Inc.<br> Zillow Group, Inc. |

---

The Compensation Committee used the peer group as a reference point when reviewing the competitiveness of our executive compensation program, in making executive compensation decisions, and in assisting with the design and operation of our annual incentive plan and long-term incentive awards.

In September 2022, the Compensation Committee completed a review of our 2022 peer group, focusing on changes in the business or performance of these companies from the prior year. The Compensation Committee considered a number of factors, beginning with company size, performance and industry. The Compensation Committee further reviewed the peer companies for similarities in operations, including profitable growth; recurring revenue; home or real estate services; and transformational, local network-related, technology-enabled and platform-enabled businesses; and also included core and emerging peer companies based on the application of financial, industry, competitive and qualitative filters. Based on these factors, the Compensation Committee determined that the peer group continued to be appropriate and made no adjustments to our peer group for 2023. The appropriateness of the companies comprising the peer group will be reassessed annually, and any changes to the composition of the group will be subject to approval by the Compensation Committee.

### Prior Year Say on Pay Vote
In 2022, the Compensation Committee considered the outcome of the stockholder advisory vote on 2021 executive compensation when making decisions relating to the compensation of our NEOs and our executive compensation program and policies. Our stockholders voted at our 2022 Annual Meeting, in a non-binding, advisory vote, on the 2021 compensation paid to our NEOs. Over 87% of the votes were cast in favor of the Company's 2021 compensation decisions. See *"Corporate Governance—Corporate Governance Practices and Policies—Stockholder Engagement"* for additional information about our stockholder engagement during 2022.

## Components of 2022 Compensation
A significant portion of the 2022 total direct compensation for our executives consisted of variable, at-risk compensation. Variable, at-risk total direct compensation includes the 2022 AIP award at target and long-term equity-based incentive award dollar value at target. The following charts illustrate the proportional components of 2022 compensation for our CEO, and the average proportional components of 2022 compensation for our other NEOs, as well as a percentage of overall, variable, at-risk compensation.

![](im4059396236x1364399004.jpg)

For comparison purposes, the information above for our CEO reflects an annualized fiscal 2022 salary and AIP award for Mr. Cobb and his long-term equity grants received due to his role as CEO, including his sign-on equity award; no compensation awarded to him for his services as a director and Chairman of the Board of Directors is reflected. The information above for "Average Other NEOs" reflects the average compensation paid to Messrs. Fiarman and Turcotte; Ms. Ross' 2022 compensation components are not reflected, as she was not eligible to receive an AIP award or annual long-term equity-based incentive award for 2022.

The Compensation Committee determined the salary and incentive compensation opportunities for fiscal 2022 for Messrs. Turcotte and Fiarman in February 2022, and in May 2022 approved salary and incentive compensation opportunities for Mr. Cobb, along with an additional special performance-based equity award for Messrs. Turcotte and Fiarman for retention purposes. The committee approved the salary and incentive compensation opportunities for Ms. Ross in November 2022. In each case, the Compensation Committee considered data regarding compensation for the Company's 2022 Peer Group, as well as third-party salary survey information and the Company's business strategy.

### Salary
The Compensation Committee will annually review the salaries of our executives, which includes our executive officers and other members of the senior leadership team. The Compensation Committee may take into account various factors when considering annual merit increases, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Competitive practice among the Company's peer group, as well as general industry practice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's financial performance in the prior year and expectations for the coming year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact that increased fixed costs will have on the ability to meet the Company's annual operating plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Individual proficiency and experience; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Internal equity.

---

In February 2022, the Compensation Committee determined to increase the salaries of Messrs. Tibbens (from $800,000), Turcotte (from $505,000) and Fiarman (from $470,000), in each case effective April 1, 2022, to reflect competitive practice among the Company's peer group, as well as general industry practice and individual proficiency and experience. The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Cobb's salary, as of his commencement date as the Company's CEO, and was set within a competitive market range. Ms. Ross' salary reflects competitive practice among the Company's peer group, as well as general industry practice and individual proficiency and experience.

### Annual Cash Incentive Awards

#### 2022 Annual Incentive Plan Design
The Compensation Committee approved an annual incentive bonus plan for 2022 that was designed to reward the achievement of specific pre-set financial and strategic results measured over the 2022 fiscal year. The Compensation Committee determined that, consistent with fiscal 2021, the AIP bonus awards for 2022 would be calculated based on the NEO's eligible earnings, or base salary paid to the NEO, during fiscal 2022.

The target bonus approved by the Compensation Committee for each NEO for 2022 is listed in the table below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Named Executive Officer** | **AIP 2022 Annual Incentive Target as a** <br> **Percentage of Eligible Earnings** |
| William C. Cobb | 120% |
| Rexford J. Tibbens<sup>(1)</sup> | 120% |
| Jessica P. Ross<sup>(2)</sup> |  |
| Brian K. Turcotte<sup>(3)</sup> | 90% |
| Jeffrey A. Fiarman | 60% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>(1) The Compensation Committee approved a target bonus opportunity of 120% for Mr. Tibbens; however, he became ineligible for a bonus upon his departure from the Company in June 2022.<br>(2) Ms. Ross was not employed prior to October 31, 2022 and therefore was not eligible to receive a 2022 AIP bonus award.<br>(3) Mr. Turcotte continues to be eligible for a 2022 AIP bonus pursuant to the terms of his Separation and Transition Agreement. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>(1) The Compensation Committee approved a target bonus opportunity of 120% for Mr. Tibbens; however, he became ineligible for a bonus upon his departure from the Company in June 2022.<br>(2) Ms. Ross was not employed prior to October 31, 2022 and therefore was not eligible to receive a 2022 AIP bonus award.<br>(3) Mr. Turcotte continues to be eligible for a 2022 AIP bonus pursuant to the terms of his Separation and Transition Agreement. |

---

In February 2022, the Compensation Committee made no change to the AIP bonus targets for Mr. Tibbens or Mr. Fiarman, as it was determined that their targets were in line with their peer benchmarks. At that time, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Turcotte's AIP target bonus for 2022 from 80% to 90% to reflect competitive practice among the Company's peer group. The Compensation Committee determined in November

**frontdoor** • 2023 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **40**

------

[**Back to Contents**](#_TOC)

2022 that, following his transition, Mr. Turcotte would continue to be eligible for a 2022 AIP target bonus based on 90% of his eligible earnings, as described in his Separation and Transition Agreement.

In May 2022, the Compensation Committee approved Mr. Cobb's 2022 AIP target bonus based on peer group practice, and confirmed that it would be pro-rated for the time Mr. Cobb served as CEO of the Company.

The Compensation Committee determined that incentives under the 2022 AIP for applicable NEOs would be based on our performance with respect to the following performance goals and weightings: (1) two financial performance goals consisting of Adjusted EBITDA (35%) and Revenue (30%); and (2) two strategic performance goals consisting of customer retention (20%) and the satisfaction of strategic objectives related to our emerging businesses and customer service (15%); for a total combined weighting of 100%. The Compensation Committee determined that each of the metrics was appropriate to motivate the NEOs to lead the Company and to deliver on annual growth in support of the Company's long-term strategy.

For each performance measure, the Compensation Committee approved that the achievement factor will be determined by measuring actual performance against threshold, target and maximum goals based on a scale that provides for a payout of 25% for threshold performance, 100% for target performance and 200% for maximum performance. In establishing the goals, the committee considered actual performance for 2021, the Company's budget for 2022 and short-term and long-term business drivers for the Company. The following table sets forth the financial performance goals, including threshold, target and maximum performance levels, and the respective weightings of the financial performance goals under the 2022 AIP.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Financial Performance Goal** | **Threshold** <br>**(25%)** | **Target** <br>**(100%)** | **Maximum** <br>**(200%)** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Weighting** |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $250 million | $309 million | $325 million | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;35% |
| Revenue | $1.602 billion | $1.724 billion | $1.846 billion | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;30% |

---

Actual amounts paid under the 2022 AIP bonus are calculated by multiplying each NEO's 2022 eligible earnings by (i) the executive's 2022 AIP bonus target annual cash incentive opportunity (which is reflected as a percentage of eligible earnings) and (ii) the executive's weighted achievement factor.

#### 2022 Annual Incentive Plan Determinations
In February 2023, the Compensation Committee assessed our performance against the 2022 AIP financial performance goals. For actual performance between the specified threshold, target and maximum levels, the resulting achievement factor was calculated on a linear interpolation basis. The weighted achievement factor for each performance measure was then determined by multiplying the weight attributed to each performance measure by the achievement factor for such measure based on the Company's fiscal 2022 performance. The levels of achievement attained, achievement factors and the weighted achievement factors for the financial performance goals are listed in the table below.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>(1) Adjusted EBITDA under the 2022 AIP is calculated in the same manner as described in the Part II, Item 7 section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>(1) Adjusted EBITDA under the 2022 AIP is calculated in the same manner as described in the Part II, Item 7 section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>(1) Adjusted EBITDA under the 2022 AIP is calculated in the same manner as described in the Part II, Item 7 section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>(1) Adjusted EBITDA under the 2022 AIP is calculated in the same manner as described in the Part II, Item 7 section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>(1) Adjusted EBITDA under the 2022 AIP is calculated in the same manner as described in the Part II, Item 7 section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.  |

---

The Compensation Committee additionally determined that we achieved 100.7% of our customer retention goal resulting in a 30.0% achievement factor. With respect to the satisfaction of the strategic objectives goal, which focused on the evolution of our emerging businesses and customer service improvements, the Compensation Committee determined that we achieved 2022 actual results as a percentage of target of 100%, resulting in a weighted achievement factor of 15.0% for this goal.

The Compensation Committee then determined that Company performance under the 2022 AIP was 63.6% in the aggregate in accordance with application of the weightings applicable to each of the financial and strategic performance goals.

#### 2022 Annual Incentive Plan Payout
Accordingly, in February 2023, the Compensation Committee awarded Messrs. Cobb, Turcotte and Fiarman 2022 AIP bonuses as set forth in the following table. Mr. Tibbens and Ms. Ross were not eligible for a 2022 AIP bonus payout.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Named Executive Officer** | **2022 AIP** <br>**Eligible** <br> **Compensation** | **AIP Annual Incentive** <br>**Target as of Percentage** <br>**of Eligible Earnings** | **2022 AIP Eligible** <br> **Bonus Payout** <br> **Factor** | **2022 AIP** <br>**Bonus Payouts** |
| Mr. Cobb<sup>(1)</sup> | $481250<br> <sup>(1)</sup> | 120% | 76.32% | $367290 |
| Mr. Turcotte | $526231 | 90% | 57.24% | $301215 |
| Mr. Fiarman | $503750 | 60% | 38.16% | $192231 |

---

(1) Mr. Cobb's 2022 AIP bonus eligible compensation reflects employee compensation paid after his appointment as the Company's CEO on June 1, 2022, and does not include fees paid for service as our non-employee Chairman and a member of our Board of Directors.

### Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

#### 2022 Annual Awards
In consideration of feedback from stockholders and to reinforce the Company's performance and growth agenda, the Compensation Committee determined to grant PSUs for 50% of the long-term equity incentive awards, and time-vested RSUs for the remaining 50% of the long-term equity incentive awards for Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman. The Compensation Committee believed that PSUs create strong alignment with stockholder interests, since value is delivered only in the event that the performance metrics are met. Meanwhile, time-vested RSUs balanced the performance orientation of PSUs with the objectives of real ownership and retention. In February 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the target dollar value of long-term equity incentive awards to be granted to Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman. In determining the target dollar value of these awards, the Compensation Committee considered data regarding compensation for the Company's 2022 Peer Group, as well as third-party salary survey information, the Company's business strategy and feedback from stockholders received in connection with the Company's executive compensation program.

Upon Mr. Cobb's appointment as CEO in June 2022, the Compensation Committee awarded him a long-term equity incentive award in the form of 25% PSUs, 25% RSUs and 50% PSOs. In approving the target dollar value of long-term equity incentive awards to be granted to Mr. Cobb, the Compensation Committee aligned his award to market benchmarks and pro-rated it to reflect Mr. Cobb's time of service as CEO in 2022.

The table below summarizes the annual long-term equity incentive awards that were granted to each of the NEOs in 2022.

The target PSU dollar values were converted into a target number of PSUs based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day that immediately preceded the grant date. The terms and conditions of the PSUs provide that the PSUs will generally vest and be payable on the third anniversary of the applicable annual award grant date (i.e. for Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman on

March 28, 2025, and for Mr. Cobb on June 1, 2025) subject to the Company achieving certain specified revenue performance goals measured at the end of the third year of a three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2024, subject to the executive's continued employment through the applicable vesting date. The total number of PSUs that vest will range from 0% to 200% of target as determined by measuring actual performance at the end of the performance period on December 31, 2024 against the specified revenue performance goals based on a pre-established scale.

The target PSO dollar values were converted into a target number of PSOs based on a Monte-Carlo valuation on the trading day that immediately preceded the grant date. The terms and conditions of the PSOs provide that the PSOs will vest and become exercisable upon the achievement of both (1) a service condition, which will be deemed satisfied on the first anniversary of the grant date subject to the respective executive's continuous service with the Company through such date, and (2) a performance condition, which will be deemed satisfied if, on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the grant date (i.e. June 1, 2026), the Company's Common Stock achieves designated per share price targets based on the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock over any 20 consecutive trading day period as reflected on the Nasdaq (the "VWAP"). The "performance condition" will be deemed satisfied with respect to the value of one-third of the grant upon each of a $35.00 VWAP, $40.00 VWAP and $45.00 VWAP, respectively.

The RSUs dollar values were converted into a number of RSUs based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day that immediately preceded the grant date, and will vest over three years in equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the applicable grant date, subject to the executive's continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

If the executive's employment terminates upon death or disability during the performance period, the PSUs will vest and be paid out at target. If the executive's employment is terminated without cause or the executive terminates his employment for good reason, a pro-rata portion of the PSUs will continue to vest until the third anniversary of the grant date based on actual Company performance. Upon a change in control during the performance period, unless an alternative award is provided, any unearned portion of the PSU will be considered earned at target, or if the change of control occurs within the last 12 months of the performance period, at the greater of target earned and projected earnings. If the executive's employment terminates upon death or disability during the performance period, and the service condition has been satisfied, the unvested PSOs will remain outstanding and eligible to vest and become exercisable; otherwise, all unvested PSOs shall be forfeited. If the executive's employment is terminated upon (1) death, disability or retirement, all vested PSOs shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the termination, (ii) the tenth anniversary of the grant, or (iii) cancellation of the PSOs following a change in control; or (2) for any other reason (other than cause), all vested and exercisable PSOs shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the three-month anniversary of the termination, (ii) the tenth anniversary of the grant, or (iii) cancellation of the PSOs following a change in control. Upon a change in control during the performance period, unless an alternative award is provided, or if the executive is involuntarily terminated (but not for cause) or terminates employment for good reason within two years, any unvested portion of the PSO will vest and become exercisable in full. The post-termination vesting for RSUs will be substantially the same as the rights that apply to RSUs previously granted to the NEOs. The terms and conditions of each of the awards provide that Mr. Cobb shall not be deemed to have incurred a termination as long as he continues to serve as a director of the Company. Post-termination vesting for PSOs, PSUs and RSUs are described below under the heading "*Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Equity Awards.*"

#### 2022 Special Retention Awards
To further reinforce the Company's performance and growth agenda and to encourage retention of key personnel during a time of transition in leadership, in May 2022, the Compensation Committee determined to grant PSOs to Messrs. Turcotte and Fiarman. The PSO terms and conditions were consistent with the terms and conditions of the PSOs granted to Mr. Cobb.

In connection with Mr. Cobb's election as the Company's CEO, the Compensation Committee approved a sign-on equity award of RSUs valued at $500,000. The RSU dollar value was converted into a number of RSUs based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day that immediately preceded the grant date (June 1, 2022), resulting in a grant of 20,210 RSUs to Mr. Cobb. The RSUs will vest over two years in equal annual installments on the first two anniversaries of the grant date, subject to Mr. Cobb's continued service through the applicable vesting date.

#### CFO Sign-On Equity Award
In connection with Ms. Ross' hiring and appointment as the Company's Senior Vice President and CFO, the Compensation Committee approved a sign-on equity award of RSUs valued at $100,000.

The RSUs will vest over two years in equal annual installments on the first two anniversaries of the grant date, subject to Ms. Ross' continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

## Fiscal 2023 Executive Compensation
In February 2023, the Compensation Committee determined the salary and incentive compensation opportunities for our executives for 2023. The Compensation Committee considered data regarding compensation for the Company's 2023 Peer Group, as well as third-party salary survey information, the Company's business strategy and prior feedback from stockholders received in connection with the Company's executive compensation program.

The Compensation Committee approved no changes to the salaries for Mr. Cobb and Ms. Ross and determined to increase Mr. Fiarman's salary to $540,000, effective in April 2023. The Compensation Committee made no changes to the annual incentive plan opportunities, as a percentage of salary, for Mr. Cobb, Ms. Ross and Mr. Fiarman. The Compensation Committee approved long-term equity incentive awards, consisting of PSOs and RSUs, having aggregate grant date fair values of $5,500,000, $1,700,000 and $1,500,000 for Mr. Cobb, Ms. Ross and Mr. Fiarman, respectively, to be granted in March 2023.

## Additional Information about Our Compensation Practices

### Sign-on, Retention and Discretionary Bonuses
From time to time, we may award sign-on, retention and discretionary bonuses to attract or retain executive talent. Generally, sign-on bonuses are used to incentivize candidates to leave their current employers or may be used to offset the loss of unvested compensation they may forfeit as a result of leaving their current employers. In 2022, in connection with the appointment of Mr. Cobb as the Company's CEO, he received a sign-on grants of RSUs as described above. Additionally, in connection with the appointment of Ms. Ross as the Company's Senior Vice President and CFO, she received a sign-on grant of RSUs as described above and a cash bonus of $775,000, which was paid upon commencement of her employment.

### Employment Agreements
Mr. Cobb was hired to serve as our CEO pursuant to an employment agreement with us dated May 19, 2022 and commenced employment on June 1, 2022. Ms. Ross was hired to serve as our Senior Vice President and CFO with us pursuant to an offer letter dated December 1, 2022 and commenced employment on December 30, 2022. Mr. Fiarman was hired to serve as our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary pursuant to an offer letter dated July 5, 2018 and commenced employment on August 27, 2018. The material terms of Mr. Cobb's employment agreement, Ms. Ross' offer letter and Mr. Fiarman's offer letter, are described below under "*Executive Compensation Tables—Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal 2022—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreement*."

Mr. Turcotte became our Senior Vice President and CFO effective July 25, 2018, pursuant to an offer letter dated July 17, 2018. Effective December 30, 2022, Mr. Turcotte assumed the role of Vice President and Advisor to the

**frontdoor** • 2023 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **44**

[**Back to Contents**](#_TOC)

CEO through March 31, 2023. Mr. Turcotte entered into a Separation and Transition Agreement with the Company on December 1, 2022. The material terms of this arrangement is described below under "—*Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Severance Benefits—Employment Arrangements*."

### Retirement Benefits
Our employees, including the NEOs, are generally eligible to participate in the Frontdoor, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Frontdoor 401(k) Plan"), as it may be amended from time to time. The Frontdoor 401(k) Plan is a tax qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan. We made a "safe harbor" matching contribution for our employees who contributed during the 2022 plan year.

### Employee Benefits and Executive Perquisites
We offer a variety of health and welfare programs to all eligible employees, including the NEOs. The NEOs are eligible for the same health and welfare benefit programs on the same basis as the rest of our employees, including medical and dental care coverage, life insurance coverage and short- and long-term disability. In addition, pursuant to our 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), eligible employees, including the NEOs, may purchase Common Stock, subject to Internal Revenue Service limits, during specified offering periods at a purchase price equal to 85% of the closing price per share on the day preceding the last day of the applicable offering period.

We limit the use of perquisites as a method of compensation and provide executive officers with only those perquisites that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our compensation goal of enabling us to attract and retain superior executives for key positions.

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Cobb's employment agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse him up to $20,000 for legal fees incurred during 2022 in connection with his employment agreement. Mr. Cobb did not use this perquisite.

Pursuant to the terms of Ms. Ross' compensation arrangement, the Company has offered to cover corporate housing and reasonable local transportation in the Memphis area for the first six months of her employment, if elected by Ms. Ross, and executive relocation benefits pursuant to the Company's relocation policy, if Ms. Ross elects to relocate to the Memphis, Tennessee area within the first 24 months of her employment. Ms. Ross did not use this perquisite in 2022.

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Fiarman's offer letter, the Company will cover reasonable commuting expenses from Connecticut to Memphis, Tennessee up to a maximum of 50 round trips per year, including both airfare and ground transportation, consistent with the business travel policies applicable to the Company's executive team members. However, beginning in 2020, the Company transitioned to a virtual-first work environment, such that employees are generally not required to consistently work in one of our offices. Accordingly, consistent with its treatment of other employees, the Company no longer considers reimbursement of Mr. Fiarman's expenses for his limited travel to Memphis, Tennessee to be a perquisite.

### Post-Termination Compensation
Messrs. Cobb and Fiarman, and Ms. Ross, each have a severance arrangement with us, either as part of their employment agreement, in the case of Mr. Cobb, or offer letter, in the cases of Mr. Fiarman and Ms. Ross. The severance benefits to which Messrs. Cobb and Fiarman, and Ms. Ross are entitled are described in detail below under the heading "*Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Severance Benefits—Employment Arrangements*." For a description of the potential vesting of outstanding equity awards that may occur in connection with certain termination events, see "*Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Equity Awards*" below.

Additionally, in December 2022, the Company adopted an Executive Severance Policy, effective January 1, 2023, as described in more detail under *"Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Equity Awards"* below.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Amounts reported reflect the NEO's annual salary earned during the fiscal year, taking into account increases, if any, in salary during the course of the year, and are not reduced to reflect the NEO's election, if any, to defer receipt of salary into our savings plan for U.S. employees. The amount reported for Ms. Ross reflects salary paid from December 30, 2022. For additional details on actions taken with respect to the base salaries of the applicable NEOs in fiscal 2022, see "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Components of 2022 Compensation—Salary*."<br>(2) For 2022, stock awards consisted of awards of time-vesting RSUs (to all NEOs) and PSUs (to Messrs. Cobb, Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman). The award of an RSU is the right to receive one share of our Common Stock upon the vesting date of the RSU. Amounts shown represent the grant date fair value of the applicable RSUs granted during fiscal 2022, each as calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The grant date fair value for the RSUs and PSUs is based solely on the closing price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day that immediately preceded the applicable grant date (i.e., $28.82 for grants to Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman, $24.74 for grants to Mr. Cobb, and $20.82 for the grant to Ms. Ross). The PSUs vest on the third anniversary of the applicable grant date subject to the NEO's continued employment and the Company's achievement of certain specified revenue performance goals measured at the end of the third year of a three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2024.

Pursuant to Mr. Cobb's employment agreement, if Mr. Cobb's employment is terminated, provided that service as a member of the Board of Directors concurrently terminates prior to the end of the 4-year period beginning on June 1, 2022, without "cause" by the Company or by him for "good reason" (in each case, as defined in Mr. Cobb's employment agreement), Mr. Cobb will be entitled to receive: (1) continuation of his salary for a period of 12 months, provided that such payment period shall be for a period of 24 months if the date of termination is prior to January 1, 2024; (2) a lump sum payment equal to his target bonus; (3) reimbursement of COBRA health insurance premiums paid by him for 12 months, provided that such payment period shall be for a period of 18 months if the date of termination is prior to January 1, 2024, following the date of termination; and (4) the bonus that he would have been paid in respect of the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs had his employment not terminated, prorated for the portion of the fiscal year during which he was employed, based on actual performance.

In the event Mr. Cobb's employment is terminated by reason of death or disability, Mr. Cobb (or his executors or legal representatives) will be entitled to receive (1) the bonus that he would have been paid in respect of the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs had his employment not terminated, prorated for the portion of the fiscal year during which he was employed, based on actual performance and (2) payment for any accrued but unused vacation days. On each anniversary after June 1, 2026, Mr. Cobb's term of employment will be automatically extended by one year.

Payments of Mr. Cobb's severance benefits are subject to him signing a general release of claims and continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including confidentiality of information and non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement covenants. The confidentiality covenant has an indefinite term, and the non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement covenants each have terms effective both during the term of his employment and for one year following any termination of employment. In addition, payments and benefits are reduced in connection with a change in control (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code")) to the highest amount that may be paid to Mr. Cobb without subjecting any payment to the excise tax, so long as he would retain a greater net after-tax payment if the payments are reduced.

#### Mr. Tibbens
Mr. Tibbens stepped down from his position as a director on our Board and as the Company's President and CEO on June 1, 2022 and terminated his employment with the Company without good reason on June 30, 2022. Therefore, pursuant to Mr. Tibbens's employment agreement, he was not entitled to receive any severance benefits from the Company upon his resignation.

#### Ms. Ross
Pursuant to Ms. Ross' offer letter, unless an executive severance policy is otherwise in effect and applies to Ms. Ross, if Ms. Ross' employment is terminated without "cause" by the Company or by her for "good reason" (in each case, as defined in Ms. Ross' Offer Letter), Ms. Ross will be entitled to receive: (i) an amount equal to her annual base salary in effect at the time of her termination; (ii) an amount equal to her annual cash incentive at target, pursuant to the terms of the AIP; (iii) an amount equal to her annual bonus earned with respect to the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which her termination occurs, to the extent not previously paid; *plus* if her termination date occurs on or after June 30 of a calendar year, an amount equal to the pro rata portion of the then-current year's annual cash incentive based on actual Company performance pursuant to the terms of the then AIP and payable at the same time annual incentive awards are generally made to other associates; and (iv) reimbursement of COBRA health insurance premiums paid by her for up to 12 months following the date of termination, provided that if Ms. Ross' employment is terminated without "cause" by the Company or by her for "good reason" within the two-year period following a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), the severance benefits described in (i) and (ii) shall be doubled.

#### Mr. Turcotte
Mr. Turcotte did not have an employment agreement with severance arrangements in place at the time of his separation from the Company. On December 1, 2022, Mr. Turcotte entered into a separation and transition agreement (the "Separation Agreement") with the Company setting forth the terms of Mr. Turcotte's separation from service. In consideration for Mr. Turcotte's commitments under the Separation Agreement, including for continuing to serve as the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer through December 30, 2022, and as Vice President and Advisor to the CEO through his departure date on March 30, 2023, Mr. Turcotte will receive the following payments subject to his continued compliance with the terms of the Separation Agreement: (i) his current base salary and benefits through December 30, 2022; (ii) a base salary at a rate of $200,000 per year and benefits to which associates holding the title of Vice President are otherwise entitled under the Company's policies during the period from the December 30, 2022 through March 31, 2023; (iii) an amount equal to the sum of (x) twelve months' of his current base salary and (y) his target bonus under the Company's AIP (i.e., 90% of his current base salary), payable in twelve equal monthly installments following his departure date; (iv) his full calendar year 2022 AIP bonus based on the Company's actual performance under the 2022 AIP; (v) reimbursement of COBRA health insurance premiums paid by him for up to 12 months following the Departure Date; and (vi) outplacement services in accordance with the Company's outplacement program. Mr. Turcotte's separation from service is being treated as a termination without "cause" under the Equity Plan and underlying award agreements, and he will not be eligible for an AIP bonus for calendar year 2023.

Consistent with the terms of the award agreements governing Mr. Turcotte's outstanding equity awards: (i) all unvested stock option, performance stock option and RSU awards held by Mr. Turcotte as of the Departure Date will be forfeited for no consideration; (ii) all vested but unexercised stock options held by Mr. Turcotte as of the Departure Date shall remain exercisable for three months following the Departure Date; (iii) unvested PSUs granted to Mr. Turcotte in 2019 will remain eligible to vest until the determination date in respect of the end of the second fiscal quarter after the Departure Date (i.e., until September 30, 2023); (iv) unvested PSUs granted to Mr. Turcotte in 2021 will be prorated and remain eligible to vest until the third anniversary of the date of grant (i.e., until March 29, 2024); and (v) unvested PSUs granted to Mr. Turcotte in 2022 will be prorated and remain eligible to vest until the third anniversary of the date of grant (i.e., until March 28, 2025).

The Separation Agreement contains customary confidentiality, cooperation and non-disparagement provisions as well as a release of claims between the Company and Mr. Turcotte.

#### Mr. Fiarman
Mr. Fiarman's offer letter provides that if his employment is terminated by the Company without "cause" or by him for "good reason" (in each case, as defined in his offer letter), Mr. Fiarman will be entitled to receive: (1) an amount equal to 12 times his monthly salary in effect on the date of termination, paid in 12 equal monthly installments; (2) an amount equal to his target bonus during the year of termination, paid in 12 equal monthly installments; (3) if the termination occurs after June 30 of any year, the bonus that he would have been paid in respect of the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs had his employment not terminated, prorated for the portion of the fiscal year during which he was employed, based on actual performance; and (4) payment for any accrued but unused vacation days.

### Equity Awards

#### Termination without "Cause" or by Executive for "Good Reason"
If an NEO's employment is terminated by us without cause or if the executive voluntarily terminates his employment (or in the case of Mr. Cobb, service with the Company) for any reason, all unvested time-based stock options, PSOs and RSUs, as applicable, immediately terminate. Upon such a termination, the NEO may exercise vested stock options and PSOs before the first to occur of (1) the three-month anniversary of the NEO's termination of employment, (2) the expiration of the awards' normal term, after which date such award are cancelled, or (3) the cancellation of the award in the event of a change in control in exchange for a cash payment. Unvested PSUs granted to an NEO in 2019 will remain eligible to vest following a termination of the NEO by us without "cause" or by the NEO for "good reason" (in each case as defined in the applicable award agreement) until the earlier of (x) the final determination date with respect to the performance period and (y) the determination date in respect of the end of the second fiscal quarter after such termination occurs. Unvested PSUs granted to an NEO in 2021 and 2022 will be prorated and remain eligible to vest following termination of the NEO by us without "cause" or by the NEO for "good reason" (in each case as defined in the applicable award agreement) until the third anniversary of the date of grant (i.e. until March 29, 2024 and March 28, 2025, respectively).

[**Back to Contents**](#_TOC)

#### Death or Disability
If an NEO's employment terminates by reason of death or disability, all unvested time-based stock options will vest and remain exercisable until the first to occur of (1) the one-year anniversary of the executive's date of termination, (2) the expiration of the options' normal term, after which date such options are cancelled, or (3) the cancellation of the options in the event of a change in control in exchange for a cash payment. With respect to RSUs, the portion of unvested RSUs that would vest on the next vesting date following the termination will vest on a pro-rata basis. Unvested PSUs granted to an NEO in 2019 will remain eligible to vest until the end of the performance period based on actual achievement of performance milestones if an NEO's employment terminates by reason of death or disability. Unvested PSUs granted to an NEO in 2021 and 2022 will immediately vest at target (i.e. 100%) following termination of the NEO's employment by reason of death or disability.

Unvested PSOs granted to an NEO in 2022 that have satisfied the service condition one year from the date of grant (i.e. June 1, 2023) shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest if the applicable performance condition is achieved prior to the performance end date (i.e. four years from the date of grant on June 1, 2026), and the post-termination exercise periods shall apply as if termination had occurred on the applicable vesting date instead of the termination date. The vested PSOs shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the termination due to death or disability, (y) the tenth anniversary of the grant date, and (z) the cancellation of the PSOs in the even of a change in control in exchange for a cash payment. None of the 2022 PSOs awarded to the applicable NEOs has satisfied the service condition on the last business day of fiscal 2022.

#### Change in Control
Upon a change in control during the performance period, the PSUs granted in 2019 will immediately vest at target (i.e. 100%). Upon a change in control during the performance period, unless an "alternative award" is provided as determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, PSUs granted in 2021 and 2022 will immediately vest at target (i.e. 100%) or, if the date of the change of control is within 12 months of the performance period end date, shares vesting will be the greater of (i) the target earning percentage for the performance period, and (ii) the projected/actual earning percentage for the performance period as of the date of the change of control. Upon a change in control prior to the fourth anniversary of the grant date (i.e. June 1, 2026), the PSOs granted in 2022 will not accelerate if there is an "alternative award" as defined in the award documents.

#### Termination in Connection with a Change in Control
Pursuant to the 2018 Plan, upon a change in control, no cancellation, acceleration of vesting or other payment shall occur with respect to any stock option, PSO, RSU or PSU (except the 2019 PSUs) if the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors reasonably determines prior to the change in control that the executive shall receive an "alternative award" meeting the requirements of the plan; provided, however, if within two years following a change in control, the NEO's employment is terminated by us without "cause" or by the NEO for "good reason" (in each case as defined in the applicable award agreement), at a time when any portion of the alternative award is unvested, the unvested portion of such alternative award shall immediately vest in full and such executive shall be provided with either cash or marketable stock equal to the fair market value of the stock subject to the alternative award on the date of termination.

#### Restrictive Covenants
As a condition of receiving their equity awards granted since 2019, each of Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman and Ms. Ross in 2022, agreed to certain restrictive covenants, including non-competition, confidentiality and non-solicitation covenants. The non-competition and non-solicitation covenants each have terms effective during the term of the executive's employment with the Company and for one year following any termination of employment; the term of the confidentiality covenant is generally so long as the information remains confidential. In addition, as a condition to receiving his sign-on and annual equity awards, Mr. Cobb agreed in his employment agreement to be subject to these same restrictive covenants, as well as a non-disparagement covenant that is effective during the term of his employment and for one year following any termination of employment.

### Severance Benefits—2023 Executive Severance Policy
In December 2022, the Compensation Committee approved an executive severance policy (the "Severance Policy"), which became effective as of January 1, 2023, to provide severance benefits to certain eligible executives of the Company, including the NEOs, who experience a termination of employment under certain conditions. Notwithstanding the adoption of the Severance Policy, if at any time the NEO is subject to any existing agreement with the Company

**frontdoor** • 2023 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **57**

------

[**Back to Contents**](#_TOC)

providing for severance benefits, the NEO shall be entitled to the better of amounts payable under the Severance Policy or amounts otherwise payable under the existing agreement.

If the NEO's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Severance Policy) or on account of the NEO's resignation from employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Severance Policy) (a "Qualifying Termination"), and such Qualifying Termination is not in connection with a change in control of the Company, the Company will provide the NEO with the following severance payments and benefits subject to the limitations described in the Severance Policy:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An amount equal to the sum of the NEO's (i) annual base salary and (ii) target annual bonus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An amount equal to the NEO's annual bonus earned with respect to the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, to the extent not previously paid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the date of the NEO's Qualifying Termination occurs on or after June 30 of the calendar year of termination, an amount equal to a pro rata portion of the NEO's target annual bonus for such calendar year, based on the number of days employed during such calendar year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reimbursement for monthly premiums payable for elected continued health coverage under the Company-sponsored health plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") for 12 months following the date of the NEO's Qualifying Termination, which reimbursement of premiums will cease upon the date the NEO obtains health care coverage from another employer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Outplacement services as provided by a third party selected by the Company in accordance with the Company's outplacement program, provided, such outplacement services are initiated within 60 days of the date of the NEO's Qualifying Termination.

The non-change in control annual base salary and target annual bonus cash severance payments will be made in substantially equal installments over the 12-month period following the NEO's Qualifying Termination, in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices (unless the Company elects, in its sole discretion, to pay such amount in a lump sum within 30 days following the NEO's Qualifying Termination).

If the NEO's employment is terminated by the Company (i) in connection with a change in control of the Company, or (ii) within two years after the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, the Company will provide the NEO the following severance payments and benefits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An amount equal to two (2) times the sum of the NEO's (i) annual base salary and (ii) target annual bonus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An amount equal to the NEO's annual bonus earned with respect to the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which the Change of Control Qualifying Termination occurs, to the extent not previously paid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the date of the NEO's Change of Control Qualifying Termination occurs on or after June 30 of the calendar year of termination, an amount equal to a pro rata portion of the NEO's target annual bonus for such calendar year, based on the number of days employed during such calendar year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reimbursement for monthly premiums payable for elected continued health coverage under the Company-sponsored health plans pursuant to COBRA for 18 months following the date of the NEO's Change of Control Qualifying Termination, which reimbursement of premiums will cease upon the date the NEO obtains health care coverage from another employer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Outplacement services as provided by a third party selected by the Company in accordance with the Company's outplacement program. provided, such outplacement services are initiated within 60 days of the date of the NEO's Change in Control Qualifying Termination.

The change-in-control annual base salary and target annual bonus cash severance payments will be made in a lump sum within 30 days following the NEO's Change of Control Qualifying Termination.

Payments to the NEOs are subject to the execution (and non-revocation) of a separation agreement containing a customary general release of claims in favor of the Company, its current and former subsidiaries and affiliates and its current and former employees, officers, directors and agents and, to the extent the NEO is not otherwise subject to the Company's standard restrictive covenant agreement, restrictive covenants that are substantially the same as contained in such standard restrictive covenant agreement.

### Estimated Payments and Benefits Upon Termination
The following table describes the potential benefits that would have been payable to our NEOs under existing contractual arrangements assuming a termination occurred on December 31, 2022. For Mr. Cobb, it is assumed that his termination from the Company occurred concurrently with his termination of service to our Board of Directors. Mr. Tibbens and Mr. Turcotte are not included in the table below because neither was serving as an NEO on December 31, 2022. For more information on Mr. Tibbens's termination of service, see *"—Severance Benefits—Employment Arrangements—Mr. Tibbens"* above. For more information on Mr. Turcotte's December 1, 2022 Separation Agreement, see *"—Severance Benefits—Employment Arrangements—Mr. Turcott*e" above*.* The amounts shown in the table do not include (1) payments and benefits to the extent they are provided generally to all salaried employees upon termination of employment and do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of the NEOs, or (2) payments for accrued and unused vacation, as our NEOs are no longer eligible for these payments. The amounts reported below related to the acceleration of outstanding equity awards assume a share price equal to $20.80, the closing market price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq on December 30, 2022, the last trading day of fiscal 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Amounts reported reflect a cash severance payment which includes the following:<br>• Mr. Cobb: continuation of his salary for 24 months ($1650000) and a lump sum payment equal to his target 2022 bonus ($990000).<br>• Ms. Ross: continuation of her salary for 12 months ($600000) and a lump sum payment equal to her target 2022 bonus ($540000).<br>• Mr. Fiarman: continuation of his salary for 12 months ($515000) and a lump sum payment equal to his target 2022 bonus ($309000).<br>(2) Amounts reported reflect annual bonuses earned based on actual performance that were awarded to Messrs. Cobb and Fiarman, where applicable, for 2022.<br>(3) Amounts reported for Mr. Cobb reflect costs of COBRA health insurance premiums for 18 months assuming 2023 rates. Ms. Ross was not eligible for reimbursement of COBRA health insurance premiums in 2022.<br>(4) Unvested 2019 PSUs granted to Mr. Fiarman will remain eligible to vest until the earlier of (x) the final determination date with respect to the performance period and (y) the determination date in respect of the end of the second fiscal quarter after which such termination occurs. Unvested PSUs granted to Mr. Fiarman will be pro-rated and remain eligible to vest until the end of the performance period (i.e. December 31, 2023) based on actual achievement of performance milestones. Therefore, because there is no acceleration of vesting, values for the 2019, 2021 and 2022 PSU awards, as applicable, are excluded for purposes of calculating this amount. As the NEO will have terminated prior to the one-year anniversary of the applicable grant date, unvested 2022 PSOs will cancel as the NEO did not satisfy the service condition of the award. <br>(5) Mr. Cobb's DSEs with a value on December 31, 2022 of $640,058 would be distributed within 30 days of his termination from the Company and the Board of Directors.<br>(6) In addition to the amounts reflected, upon death each NEO's estate, other than Ms. Ross who was not eligible for these benefits in 2022, would receive a life insurance payout of $300,000; and upon disability as defined in the Company's disability benefit plan, Mr. Cobb and Mr. Fiarman, each of whom elected to participate in the plan, would receive $15,000 per month. Ms. Ross was not eligible to participate in the disability benefit plan until January 1, 2023.<br>(7) Amounts reported reflect the value of the full accelerated vesting of the NEO's outstanding stock option awards and the prorated portion of unvested RSUs. as applicable, that would vest on the next vesting date following a termination by reason of death or disability. The amounts reported reflect the "spread" value for stock options representing the difference between the applicable exercise price and $20.80, the closing market price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq on December 30, 2022, the last trading day of fiscal 2022. Unvested PSUs granted to the applicable NEO in 2019 will remain eligible to vest until the end of the performance period based on actual achievement of performance milestones. Therefore, because there is no acceleration of vesting, values for the 2019 PSU awards are excluded for purposes of calculating this amount. Unvested PSUs granted to the NEOs in 2021 and 2022 would immediately vest at target (i.e. 100%). <br>(8) If the Compensation Committee determines that an "alternative award" (as defined in the 2018 Plan) will not be issued to a participant in place of the Company's 2021 or 2022 PSUs in connection with a change of control, all such PSUs would vest and become immediately payable at target. Amounts reported reflect the full accelerated value of Mr. Fiarman's unvested PSU awards granted in 2019 at target (i.e. 100%) and unvested PSU awards granted in 2021 and 2022 at target (i.e. 100%); and the full accelerated value of Mr. Cobb's unvested PSU award granted in 2022 at target (i.e. 100%). Amounts assume that an alternative award was not provided in connection with a change of control on December 31, 2022.<br>(9) Amounts reported reflect a cash severance payment which includes the following:<br>• Mr. Cobb: continuation of his salary for 24 months ($1650000) and a lump sum payment equal to his target 2022 bonus ($990000).<br>• Ms. Ross: continuation of her salary for 24 months ($1200000) and a lump sum payment equal to 2 times her target 2022 bonus ($1080000).<br>• Mr. Fiarman: continuation of his salary for 12 months ($515000) paid out in 12 equal installments over a 12-month period, and an amount equal to his target 2022 bonus ($309000).<br>(10) Amounts reported reflect the value of the full accelerated vesting of the NEO's outstanding (1) stock option and RSU awards, as applicable, following a termination in connection with a change in control; and (2) 2019 PSUs at target (i.e. 100%) upon a change in control, including a termination in connection with a change in control. Amounts assume that an "alternative award" (as defined in the 2018 Plan) was not provided with respect to the 2021 or 2022 PSUs upon a change in control, including a termination in connection with a change in control. If the Compensation Committee determines that an alternative award will not be issued to a participant in place of the 2021 or 2022 PSUs, all such PSUs would vest and become immediately payable at target (i.e. 100%). Because the service period was not met for the 2022 PSOs, the outstanding 2022 PSO award would be cancelled upon a termination upon a change in control.<br>

## Pay Ratio Disclosure
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information regarding the ratio of the annual total compensation for our principal executive officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than our principal executive officer) (the "CEO Pay Ratio"). Our CEO Pay Ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u). However, due to the flexibility afforded by Item 402(u) in calculating the CEO Pay Ratio, our CEO Pay Ratio may not be comparable to the CEO pay ratios presented by other companies.

For purposes of this calculation, our employee population was evaluated as of December 31, 2022 to be 1,660. As is permitted under the SEC rules, to determine our median employee, we used annual salary and bonus earned for 2022 as our consistently applied compensation measure. We annualized this number for those U.S.-based full- and part-time employees, including Mr. Cobb, who did not work the full fiscal 2022 year. We believe this consistently applied compensation measure reasonably reflects annualized compensation across our employee base. Using a determination date of December 31, 2022, we determined our median employee from the employee population included in our calculation.

Our median employee's annual total compensation for fiscal 2022 was $74,664, which includes, among other things, the value of non-discriminatory employer paid health benefits. For fiscal 2022, the annual total

**frontdoor** • 2023 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **60**

------

[**Back to Contents**](#_TOC)

compensation for our CEO, Mr. Cobb, was $5,465,749, which amount varies from his total compensation amount as reflected in the "*Summary Compensation Table"* because it excludes fees paid for his service on the Board of Directors, and includes the value of non-discriminatory employer paid health benefits. Accordingly, our CEO Pay Ratio for fiscal 2022 was 73:1.

## Pay Versus Performance
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain company financial metrics. For further information concerning our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with Company financial performance, refer to "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis"* above*.* 

The following table provides information showing the relationship during fiscal 2020, 2021 and 2022 between (1) compensation "actually paid" ("CAP" as defined by the SEC rule and further described below) to (a) each person serving as our principal executive officer ("PEO") and (b) our non-PEO NEOs, on an average basis, and (2) the Company's financial performance based on Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") and Net Income, and the Company-selected metric Revenue. Information in this section will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as we may specifically do so by reference to this section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) TSR is calculated assuming an investment of $100 at market close on December 31, 2019 through and including the end of the fiscal year for each year reported in the table as required by the rule.<br>(8) For purposes of this disclosure, the Company used the S&P Professional and Commercial Services Index (the "Index") as its peer group.<br>(9) For purposes of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we have identified Revenue as our Company Selected Metric. Although Revenue is one important financial performance measure, among others, that the Compensation Committee considers when making compensation decisions with the intent of aligning compensation with Company performance, the Compensation Committee has not historically and does not currently evaluate "compensation actually paid" as calculated pursuant to Item 402(v)(2) as part of its executive compensation determinations; accordingly, the Compensation Committee does not actually use any financial performance measure specifically to link executive compensation actually paid to Company performance.<br>

### Required Tabular Disclosure of Most Important Measures Linking Compensation Actually Paid During 2022 to Company Performance
SEC rules require that we disclose the most important financial performance measures that the Company uses to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs for 2022 to Company performance. These measures are as follows:

---

| |
|:---|
| **Financial Measures Linking Compensation to Performance** |
| Revenue |
| Adjusted EBITDA |
| Stock Price |

---

For further information about our compensation program and the ways in which compensation actually paid to our NEOs is linked to Company financial performance, as well as the use of the above financial measures in our executive compensation program, see the *"Compensation Discussion and Analysis"* section above.

### Required Disclosure of the Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Financial Performance Measures
SEC rules additionally require that we describe the relationship between the financial performance measures disclosed in the above Pay Versus Performance table to compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average of the executive compensation paid to the non-PEO NEOs. The following graphs further illustrate the relationship between the pay and performance figures that are included in the *"Pay Versus Performance"* table above. In addition, the first graph below further illustrates the relationship between Company TSR and that of the S&P Professional and Commercial Services Index.

# Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners, Directors and Management
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of March 1, 2023 (unless otherwise indicated below) by (i) beneficial owners known to us to own more than 5% of our Common Stock, (ii) each of our NEOs, as such term is defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, (iii) each of our directors and (iv) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. As to beneficial owners known to us to own more than 5% of our Common Stock, the information set forth in this table is based solely on our review of filings made by such persons under Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act. Percentage ownership for such beneficial owners is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such persons, as reflected in the most recent filing by such persons of statements of beneficial ownership, by the 81,509,974 shares of our Common Stock outstanding on March 1, 2023. Therefore, the percentage ownership may differ from the percentage ownership reported in such statements of beneficial ownership, which may reflect ownership as of a different date. With respect to each of our directors and NEOs, in computing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person and the percentage ownership of such person, any shares of our Common Stock (i) subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 1, 2023, or (ii) issuable upon the settlement of RSUs and deferred share equivalents held by that person within 60 days of March 1, 2023, are deemed issued and outstanding. These shares, however, are not deemed issued and outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of each other individual stockholder.

Our capital consists of our Common Stock and our preferred stock. The percent of class calculations are based on the 81,509,974 shares of our Common Stock outstanding and zero shares of our preferred stock outstanding as of March 1, 2023. None of the shares held by our directors or executive officers has been pledged as security as of March 1, 2023.

Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes, each of the beneficial owners listed has, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to the indicated shares of Common Stock.

## Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions
Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy on related person transactions. The policy covers transactions involving us in excess of $120,000 in which any director, director nominee, executive officer or greater than five percent beneficial owner of Frontdoor, or any of their respective immediate family members, has or had a direct or indirect material interest, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the policy.

Under this policy, the General Counsel must advise the Audit Committee of any related person transaction, as defined in the policy, of which the General Counsel becomes aware. The Audit Committee must then either approve or reject the transaction in accordance with the terms of the policy. In the course of making this determination, the Audit Committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances available to it, including, but not limited to, the benefits to the Company; the impact on a director's independence in the event the related person is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, stockholder or executive officer; the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; the terms of the transaction; the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally; whether the transaction would be undertaken in the ordinary course of business; who initiated the transaction; the approximate dollar value of the transaction; and any other information that the Audit Committee or Chair of the Audit Committee considers to be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

## Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our Common Stock (collectively, "Reporting Persons") to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our Common Stock. Such persons are required by regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all such filings. Based on our records and written representations from our directors and officers, we believe that all such Reporting Persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements in fiscal 2022.

# Additional Information

## Information about the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Voting

### Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?
The Board of Directors of Frontdoor is soliciting proxies for the 2023 Annual Meeting to be held on Thursday, May 11, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time, and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof, via live audio webcast. You are receiving this Proxy Statement because you owned shares of the Company's Common Stock at the close of business on March 27, 2023, the record date for the 2023 Annual Meeting, which entitles you to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting. By use of a proxy, you can vote whether or not you attend the 2023 Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement describes the matters on which we would like you to vote and provides information on those matters so that you can make an informed decision.

### Is the 2023 Annual Meeting being webcast online?
The 2023 Annual Meeting is being held via an audio webcast to reach the broadest number of stockholders possible while reflecting the technology-enabled nature of our Company and reducing environmental impacts and costs associated with planning, holding and arranging logistics for in-person meeting proceedings. The 2023 Annual Meeting will provide the same rights and advantages of a physical meeting. Stockholders will be able to present questions online during the meeting, providing our stockholders with the opportunity for meaningful engagement with the Company.

### Who is entitled to vote?
As of the close of business on March 27, 2023 (such date and time, the "Record Date"), there were 81,520,248 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company's Common Stock outstanding. If you are a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner of Common Stock on the Record Date, you are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the 2023 Annual Meeting and at any and all adjournments or postponements of the 2023 Annual Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock you hold as a stockholder of record or as a beneficial owner for each matter presented for vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

### What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., ("Computershare") you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and these proxy materials are being made available directly to you by or on behalf of the Company. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your proxy to the persons named in the enclosed proxy card or to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting. The Company has provided a proxy card for you to use.

If your shares are held in a bank, brokerage or trustee account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being made available to you through your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee.

### How do I participate in the virtual meeting?
To participate in the meeting, you must have your sixteen-digit control number that is shown on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") or on your proxy card if you elected to receive proxy materials by mail. You may access the 2023 Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FTDR2023. You will be able to submit one question per stockholder during the meeting by typing in your question into the "ask a question" box on the meeting page. We will read and respond to appropriate questions during the meeting. We will post at https://investors.frontdoorhome.com/annual-reports responses to appropriate questions related to the Company's business that we did not address during the 2023 Annual Meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Virtual Shareholder Meeting login page.

You may also obtain information regarding access to the 2023 Annual Meeting by contacting our investor relations representative at IR@frontdoorhome.com. This Proxy Statement contains information about the items stockholders will vote on at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

### Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?
In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, we are permitted to furnish proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our 2022 Annual Report, to our stockholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. If you received a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials. Most stockholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice, which was mailed to our stockholders, will instruct you as to how you may access and review the proxy materials on the Internet. The Notice also instructs you as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet or by telephone. If you would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice. If you vote by Internet or telephone, please do not also mail your proxy card.

### If I am a stockholder of record, how do I vote?
As a stockholder of record, you may vote over the Internet during the 2023 Annual Meeting or by proxy. We recommend that you submit a proxy even if you plan to participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting. This will ensure that your vote will be counted if you are unable to, or later decide not to, participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting. You can revoke your proxy and change your vote during the 2023 Annual Meeting in one of the ways described under "*How can I revoke my proxy or change my vote?*" in this section of the Proxy Statement.

If you do not wish to vote during the 2023 Annual Meeting, you may vote as follows:

**1.** Over the Internet: go to www.proxyvote.com;

**2.** By telephone: call 1-800-690-6903 (toll-free within the United States, U.S. territories and Canada); or

**3.** By mail: complete, sign and date and promptly mail a paper proxy card, if you have received a paper copy of the proxy materials.

### If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, how do I vote?
As the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you have the right to direct your bank, broker, trustee, or other nominee on how to vote and are also invited to participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting. Your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee is obligated to provide you with voting instructions for use in instructing the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee how to vote these shares.

If you do not wish to vote during the 2023 Annual Meeting, you may vote by providing voting instructions to your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee. Subject to and in accordance with the instructions provided by your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee, you may vote in accordance with the instructions provided with your proxy materials in one of the following manners: over the Internet, by telephone or by mail.

### How can I get access to the proxy materials over the Internet?
Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, we provided access to our proxy materials over the Internet. You can view our proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting on the Internet on our corporate website at https://investors.frontdoorhome.com/annual-reports.

### How can I vote my shares during the virtual meeting?
The Company will be hosting the 2023 Annual Meeting via live audio webcast. You can participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FTDR2023. The webcast will start at 10:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time. You may vote and submit questions while attending the live audio webcast. You will need the sixteen-digit control number included on your Notice or your proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials) in order to be able to enter the meeting.

**frontdoor** • 2023 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **71**

[**Back to Contents**](#_TOC)

Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record, or beneficially in street name, may be voted by you, while the polls remain open, at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FTDR2023 during the meeting. You will need your control number found in the Notice, or, if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials, on your proxy card or the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials in order to be able to vote and enter the meeting.

Even if you plan to participate in the audio webcast meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to participate in the audio webcast meeting.

### What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

#### Stockholders of Record
If you are a stockholder of record and you indicate when voting on the Internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by our Board of Directors, or if you sign and return a paper proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

#### Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under exchange rules, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares will inform our Inspector of Election that it does not have the authority to vote on such matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a "broker non-vote." Under current exchange rules, Proposal 1 (Election of Directors) and Proposal 3 (Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation) are considered non-routine matters.

### How can I revoke my proxy or change my vote?
You may revoke your proxy or change your voting instructions before the proposals are voted on at the 2023 Annual Meeting as follows:

#### Stockholders of Record
If you are a stockholder of record, by (a) timely voting on the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting will be counted), (b) timely delivering a written revocation or a valid, later-dated proxy to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the address of the Company's corporate headquarters, or (c) voting over the Internet at the 2023 Annual Meeting (attendance at the 2023 Annual Meeting, by itself, will not itself revoke a proxy).

#### Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, by submitting new voting instructions by contacting your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee, or as otherwise provided in the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee.

### How many shares must be present or represented to constitute a quorum for the 2023 Annual Meeting?
The presence in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum. A quorum is necessary in order to conduct business at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker shares that include broker non-votes that are present and entitled to vote are counted for purposes of determining a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Company expects that the 2023 Annual Meeting will be rescheduled for a later date.

**frontdoor** • 2023 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **72**

------

[**Back to Contents**](#_TOC)

In accordance with the Company's Bylaws, stockholders and proxy holders attending the virtual 2023 Annual Meeting electronically will be deemed present "in person" for the purposes of satisfying the foregoing ownership requirements.

### What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

#### Proposal 1—Election of Directors
Each director nominee shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the 2023 Annual Meeting, meaning that the number of votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the 2023 Annual Meeting "for" such director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast "against" such director nominee's election. Neither an abstention nor a broker non-vote will affect the outcome of the election of directors.

#### Proposal 2—Ratification of the Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal is required to ratify the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2023. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

#### Proposal 3—Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation
The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal is required for the non-binding, advisory approval of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. A broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Proposal 3 is an advisory vote and not binding on the Company.

#### Other Matters
Any other matters that may properly come before the 2023 Annual Meeting will generally require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal in order to approve any such proposal. If any other matter not discussed in this Proxy Statement properly comes before the 2023 Annual Meeting upon which a vote may be taken, shares represented by all proxies received by the Company will be voted on that matter in accordance with the discretion of the persons named as proxies. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against any such proposal.

### How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares "FOR" the election of each of the director nominees to the Board of Directors (Proposal 1); "FOR" the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023 (Proposal 2); and "FOR" the non-binding, advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 3).

### How are votes counted?
An independent consultant engaged through Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"), our 2023 Annual Meeting host, will tabulate the vote and act as Inspector of Election. The vote will be certified by the independent Inspector of Election. Except as necessary to meet legal requirements, proxies and ballots that identify the vote of individual stockholders will be kept confidential in cases where stockholders write comments on their proxy cards or in a contested proxy solicitation. During the proxy solicitation period, the Company will receive vote tallies from time to time from the Inspector of Election or Broadridge, but such tallies will provide aggregate figures rather than names of stockholders.

### How will proxies be solicited, and who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the 2023 Annual Meeting?
The Company will bear the entire cost of this proxy solicitation, including the preparation, printing and mailing of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, and any paper copies of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and any additional soliciting materials sent by the Company to stockholders. The Company will reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding proxy-soliciting materials to such beneficial owners. Proxies may be solicited by mail and certain of the Company's directors, officers and regular employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies on the Company's behalf by telephone, email, facsimile or personal interviews. In addition, the Company has engaged the services of Kingsdale Shareholder Services, U.S., Inc. ("Kingsdale"), 745 Fifth Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10151 to assist in the proxy solicitation.

Our Board of Directors has designated our General Counsel or his or her designee as its agent to receive and review written communications addressed to the Board, any of its committees, or any Board member or group of members. The General Counsel may communicate with the sender for any clarification. The General Counsel will promptly forward to the Chairman of the Board all communications, other than ordinary business communications, and in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and our CEO, will determine the next steps. The General Counsel will also forward to the appropriate committee chair any communication alleging financial, legal, ethical or compliance issues or any other matter deemed by the General Counsel to be potentially material to us. As an initial matter, the General Counsel will determine whether the communication is a proper communication for the Board. The General Counsel will not forward to the Board, any committee or any director communications of a personal nature or not related to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, including, without limitation, junk mail and mass mailings, business or employment solicitations, routine customer service complaints, new product or service suggestions, opinion survey polls or any other communications deemed by the General Counsel to be insignificant to the Company, or ordinary business communications. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives regular reports from management on the communications received.

### When do we anticipate mailing the proxy materials to stockholders?
It is anticipated that the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will first be mailed to stockholders on or about March 30, 2023.

## Other Business
The Board of Directors knows of no other business that will be presented to stockholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting for a vote. If other matters properly come before the 2023 Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote on them in accordance with their discretion.

## Procedures for Submitting Stockholder Proposals
The Company currently intends to hold its next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, (the "2024 Annual Meeting"), in May 2024.

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in the Company's 2024 proxy statement by submitting their proposals to the Company on or before December 1, 2023. All stockholder proposals requested to be included in the Company's proxy statement and proxy card must also comply with the requirements set forth in the federal securities laws, including Rule 14a-8, in order to be included in the Company's proxy statement and proxy card for the 2024 Annual Meeting.

In addition, the Company's Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure with regard to certain matters, including nominations of persons for election as directors and stockholder proposals included in the Company's proxy statement, to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders. In general, notice must be received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that (x) the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 70 days from such anniversary date of the preceding year's annual meeting or (y) no annual meeting was held during the preceding year, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and the close of business on the 10<sup>th</sup> day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. To be in proper form, such notice must contain specified information concerning the matters to be brought before such meeting and concerning the stockholder proposing such matters, as described in the Bylaws. Therefore, to be presented at the 2024 Annual Meeting, such a proposal must be received by the Company on or after January 12, 2024 but no later than February 11, 2024. Copies of the Company's Bylaws may be obtained free of charge by contacting the Corporate Secretary at Frontdoor, Inc., 3400 Players Club Parkway, Ste. 300, Memphis, Tennessee 38125-1731. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the Company's Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company's nominees must provide notice that sets forth any additional information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 12, 2024.

All notices of proposals by stockholders, whether or not to be included in the Company's proxy materials, should be sent to the attention of the Corporate Secretary at Frontdoor, Inc., 3400 Players Club Parkway, Ste. 300, Memphis, Tennessee 38125-1731.

## Stockholders of Record with Multiple Accounts
SEC rules permit a single set of annual reports and proxy statements to be sent to any household at which two or more stockholders reside. Each stockholder continues to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure is referred to as "householding." While the Company does not household its mailings to its stockholders of record, a number of brokerage firms with account holders who are Company stockholders have instituted householding. Once a stockholder has consented or receives notice from his or her broker that the broker will be householding materials to the stockholder's address, householding will continue until the stockholder is notified otherwise or until one or more of the stockholders revokes his or her consent.

You can also request and the Company will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Annual Report and Proxy Statement by writing or calling us at the following address or telephone number:

## Fiscal 2022 Performance Overview

Despite 2022 being one of the most challenging macroeconomic environments that we have experienced, our Company, led by our named executive officers, delivered another year of growth in 2022 and advanced key strategic objectives, including:

- Revenue increased 4% to $1,662 million, which was comprised of increases in price and a change in product mix, partially offset by lower volumes;
- Gross Profit decreased 10% to $710 million, primarily driven by higher inflation;
- Net Income decreased 45% to $71 million;
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased 33% to $214 million, primarily as a result of higher contract claims costs driven by inflationary cost pressures, partially offset by higher revenue conversion(2);
- Customer retention rate improved 150 basis points to 75.7%(3); and
- Utilization of Streem technology and on-demand business continued to evolve as we prepared for the launch of the Frontdoor brand in 2023.

(1) We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income before: depreciation and amortization expense; goodwill and intangibles impairment; restructuring charges; provision for income taxes; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; loss on extinguishment of debt; and other non-operating expenses. See Part II, Item 7 in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

(2) Revenue conversion includes the impact of the change in the number of home service plans as well as the impact of year-over-year price changes. The impact of the change in the number of home service plans considers the associated revenue on those plans less an estimate of contract claims costs based on margin experience in the prior year period.

(3) Customer retention rate is presented on a rolling 12-month basis in order to avoid seasonal anomalies.

Proxy Highlights and Summary
Executive Compensation Highlights

## What We Do and Don't Do Within Our Executive Compensation Program

In designing our executive compensation program, our Compensation Committee has incorporated certain practices into the program and omitted certain other practices, as follows.

| What We Do | What We Don't Do |
| --- | --- |
| ✓ Pay for Performance | ✗ No Excessive Risk-Taking in Our Compensation Programs |
| ✓ Competitive Compensation/Peer Group Benchmarking | ✗ No Hedging, Pledging or Short Sales |
| ✓ Annual Compensation Risk Assessment | ✗ No Backdating or Repricing of Stock Options |
| ✓ Clawback Policy | ✗ No Tax Gross-Ups |
| ✓ Stock Ownership Guidelines and Holdings Requirements |  |
| ✓ Double Trigger Vesting for Equity Awards |  |
| ✓ Independent Compensation Consultant |  |

## Our Compensation Pay Mix

A significant portion of the 2022 total direct compensation for our executives consisted of variable, at-risk compensation. Our calculation of the proportion of variable, at-risk total direct compensation includes the 2022 AIP award at target and long-term equity-based incentive award dollar value at target. The following charts illustrate the proportional components of 2022 compensation for our CEO, and the average proportional components of 2022 compensation for our other NEOs, as well as a percentage of overall, variable, at-risk compensation.

![img-2.jpeg](img-2.jpeg)

For comparison purposes, the information above for our CEO reflects an annualized fiscal 2022 salary and AIP award for Mr. Cobb and his long-term equity grants received due to his role as CEO, including his sign-on equity award; no compensation awarded to him for his services as a director and Chairman of the Board of Directors is reflected. The information above for "Average Other NEOs" reflects the average compensation paid to Messrs. Fiarman and Turcotte; Ms. Ross' 2022 compensation components are not reflected, as she was not eligible to receive an AIP award or annual long-term equity-based incentive award for 2022.

## Election of Directors

The Company is seeking stockholder approval of the election of the seven nominees identified below who are currently serving as directors of the Company. In accordance with the Company's restated certificate of incorporation, the Board of Directors was declassified as of the end of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the '2022 Annual Meeting'). In accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, as Richard P. Fox attained the age of 75 after the 2022 Annual Meeting (at which time he was elected to serve a one-year term), he will serve on our Board until the 2023 Annual Meeting, and therefore is not standing for re-election. The size of the Board will be reduced to seven members upon the commencement of the 2023 Annual Meeting. Accordingly, each director nominee, if elected, will serve for a term of one year and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the 'Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee'), has nominated for election at the 2023 Annual Meeting to serve as directors until the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, the slate of nominees listed in the table below. Each of the director nominees is currently serving as a director of the Company.

The director nominees, last elected to the Board of Directors at the 2022 Annual Meeting, are as follows.

| Director Nominees |
| --- |
| William C. Cobb |
| D. Steve Boland |
| Anna C. Catalano |
| Peter L. Cella |
| Christopher L. Clipper |
| Brian P. McAndrews |
| Liane J. Pelletier |

The Board of Directors knows of no reason why these nominees should be unable or unwilling to serve, but if that should be the case, proxies will be voted for the election of such substitute(s) as the Board may designate.

Background information about each of the director nominees can be found below under '-*Directors of the Company*.'

☑ THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE '**FOR**' THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

# Knowledge, Skills and Experience of Directors

## Skills Matrix

The following matrix provides information regarding our directors, including certain types of knowledge, skills, and/or experience possessed by one or more of our directors, which our Board of Directors believes are relevant to our business and industry. The matrix also indicates which directors are independent and the tenure for each director.

The matrix does not encompass all of the knowledge, skills or experiences of our directors, but focuses on categories in which our directors possess substantial knowledge, skills and experience in an area. The fact that a director has not indicated substantial knowledge, skill and experience in an area does not mean the director in question is unable to contribute to the decision-making process in that area. The type and degree of knowledge, skill and experience listed below may vary among the members of the Board of Directors.

# Director Compensation

The Company uses a combination of cash and equity-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on our Board of Directors. In setting director compensation for non-employee directors, our Board considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company, as well as the knowledge, skill and experience levels required by the Company of members of our Board. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no compensation for their service as directors.

## Compensation and Stock Paid to Directors

Under the director compensation program, members of our Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company receive an annual retainer comprised of cash and stock. Additionally, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if not an employee, or Lead Director and the chairs of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, each receive an additional retainer. The types, amounts, forms and timing of these retainers are set forth in the following table.

| Retainer Type | Annual Retainer | Form of Payment | Timing of Payment |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Base Retainer | $230,000 | $80,000 in Cash $150,000 in shares of fully vested Common Stock | In quarterly installments (i.e., $20,000 per quarter) Annually, at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders |
| Retainer for non-employee Chairman of the Board | $150,000 | $50,000 in Cash $100,000 in shares of fully vested Common Stock | In quarterly installments (i.e., $12,500 per quarter) Annually, at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders |
| Retainer for Lead Director | $25,000 | Cash | In quarterly installments (i.e., $6,250 per quarter) |
| Retainer for Chairs of Audit Committee and Compensation Committee | $20,000 | Cash | In quarterly installments (i.e., $5,000 per quarter) |
| Retainer for Chair of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee | $10,000 | Cash | In quarterly installments (i.e., $2,500 per quarter) |

Each director may elect to defer the receipt of the shares of Common Stock as deferred share equivalents (“DSEs”) to a point in the future. The shares are issued pursuant to the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), and the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock granted as part of the equity retainer is determined by using the grant date fair value, as defined in the 2018 Plan as the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) on the trading day that immediately precedes the grant date. This value is then used to determine the number of shares required to satisfy the share portion of the director’s equity retainer, rounded to the nearest whole share for the avoidance of fractional shares.

As of June 1, 2022, Mr. Cobb, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, was elected as the Company’s CEO and as of that time, ceased receiving compensation for his membership on our Board or as Chairman of our Board. Mr. McAndrews was appointed by the independent directors as the independent Lead Director, commencing June 1, 2022. On May 19, 2022, the Board approved an amendment to the director compensation program providing for the independent Lead Director to receive an additional annual cash retainer as described above. A new director, or director who assumes a role for which an additional retainer is payable, shall receive a prorated award of cash and/or Common Stock, as applicable, on the next regular payment date for the applicable retainer.

We reimburse all of our directors for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending Board meetings and committee meetings. The Company will also reimburse certain expenses incurred by directors in connection with attending director education programs, as well as memberships in director organizations.

## Composition of the Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Our Board is composed of a majority of independent directors. In accordance with our Charter, effective upon the conclusion of our 2022 Annual Meeting, our Board became fully declassified, and each director will serve for a term of one year and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

At any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, the election will be determined by a majority of the votes cast, in the case of an uncontested election, with directors not receiving a majority of the votes cast required to tender their resignations for consideration by the Board of Directors. In the case of a contested election, the election will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast.

The number of members on our Board of Directors may be fixed by resolution adopted from time to time by the Board. Any vacancies or newly created directorships may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Each director shall hold office until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

The names and certain information with respect to each of our current directors, including Mr. Fox who is not standing for re-election at the 2023 Annual Meeting, is set forth above in the section entitled *Proposal 1, Election of Directors-Directors of the Company.*

The Board of Directors held 11 meetings during fiscal 2022. In fiscal 2022, each director attended our 2022 Annual Meeting, and each of our directors attended at least 95% of the meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served as a member during fiscal 2022.

Diversity of Our Board of Directors

## Diversity of Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors values diversity of its members, including gender, racial and ethnic diversity, as well as a range of different experiences, educations, backgrounds, perspectives, skills and knowledge. Our Board is committed to seeking women and individuals from minority groups to serve as directors. To that end, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will endeavor to include women and individuals from minority groups in the pool from which new nominees are chosen.

The following table reflects information provided by our directors regarding their race, ethnicity and gender.

## Director Independence

A majority of our Board of Directors is composed of directors who are “independent,” as defined by the rules of the Nasdaq and the Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by our Board. We seek to have all of our non-management directors qualify as “independent” under these standards. Our Board has established guidelines to assist it in making its determination of director independence. These guidelines provide that no director qualifies as “independent” unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with our Company or our subsidiaries (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with our Company or any of our subsidiaries). In making its assessment, our Board determined that any transactions both made in the ordinary course of business between our Company and any director affiliate, and within Nasdaq and our independence standards, were not pertinent to an evaluation of independence.

As of June 1, 2022, Mr. Cobb, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, was elected as the Company’s CEO and was therefore no longer considered independent by our Board. Accordingly, also effective on June 1, 2022, Mr. Cobb ceased to serve as a member of any of the Board’s committees, which are comprised of directors who have been determined to meet the independence standards described above. In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, in the event that the Chairman of the Board is not independent, the independent directors are required to annually appoint an independent Lead Director. On May 19, 2022, Mr. McAndrews was appointed by the independent directors as the independent Lead Director of the Board as of June 1, 2022.

Corporate Governance Practices and Policies

## Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors is currently led by our Chairman, William C. Cobb. As stated in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has no policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and CEO. Following the resignation of Rexford Tibbens as the Company's President, CEO and Director, and effective as of June 1, 2022, Mr. Cobb has also served as the Company's CEO. The Board determined that Mr. Cobb's qualifications, background, skills and experience qualified him to serve as the Company's CEO, notwithstanding that Mr. Cobb would no longer be an independent director.

In accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, since the Chairman of the Board of Directors is not independent, the independent directors are required to annually appoint an independent Lead Director. Mr. McAndrews was appointed by the independent directors as the independent Lead Director as of June 1, 2022.

## Lead Director Responsibilities

The Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines further specify the authority and responsibilities of the Lead Director, who is responsible to help coordinate the efforts of the independent directors in the interest of ensuring that objective judgment is brought to bear on significant issues relating to the governance and operations of the Company, including:

- • Presiding over all meetings of the Board of Directors at which the Chairman of the Board is not present, including meetings of the non-management and independent directors;
- • Collaborating with the Chairman of the Board of Directors on Board meeting agendas and advising on such agendas;
- • Assisting in scheduling Board of Directors meetings to ensure that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items;
- • Requesting the inclusion of items in Board of Directors meeting materials and advising on Board meeting materials generally to ensure the appropriate flow of information to the Board;
- • Calling meetings of the independent directors when necessary and appropriate;
- • Collaborating with the Chairman of the Board of Directors in determining the need for special meetings of the Board;
- • Serving as the liaison for major stockholders who request direct communications with the Lead Director;
- • Serving as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Company's management team, as appropriate; and
- • Such other powers, duties and responsibilities as a majority of the independent directors of the Board shall approve.

## Executive Sessions

Our Board of Directors holds regular and special meetings throughout each calendar year. In conjunction with those meetings, executive sessions, including separate meetings of only the independent directors, are regularly scheduled throughout the year. Our independent Lead Director presides over the executive sessions of the Board. The committees of the Board, as described more fully above, also meet regularly in executive sessions.

## Selection of Nominees for Election to the Board

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will identify and select, or recommend that the Board of Directors select, Board candidates who the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes are qualified and suitable to become members of the Board, consistent with the criteria for selection of new directors adopted from time to time by the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider, among other things, the Board's current composition, including experience, diversity and balance of inside, outside and independent directors, and the general qualifications of the potential nominees in light of director qualification criteria established by our Board, as described further below under '-*Director Qualification Standards*.'

In identifying candidates for election to the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by directors, stockholders and other sources. The Nominating

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance Practices and Policies

and Corporate Governance Committee will review each candidate's qualifications, including whether a candidate possesses any of the specific qualities and skills desirable in certain members of the Board. Evaluations of candidates generally involve a review of background materials, internal discussions and interviews with selected candidates as appropriate. Upon selection of a qualified candidate, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will recommend the candidate for consideration by the full Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has engaged third-party search firms to assist it in identifying, evaluating and recommending potential nominees.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates proposed by stockholders on the same basis as recommendations from other sources. Any stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective candidate for the Board of Directors for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may do so by submitting the name and qualifications of the prospective candidate in writing to the following address: c/o Corporate Secretary, Frontdoor, Inc., 3400 Players Club Parkway, Ste. 300, Memphis, Tennessee 38125-1731. Any such submission should also describe, among other things, the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that make the prospective candidate a suitable nominee for the Board. Our Bylaws set forth the complete requirements for direct nomination by a stockholder of persons for election to the Board.

## Director Qualification Standards

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter sets forth certain criteria for the committee to consider in evaluating potential director nominees. In addition to evaluating a potential director's independence, the committee will consider whether director candidates satisfy criteria established by the Board of Directors in order to assure that our Board will have the necessary breadth and depth to perform its oversight function effectively, such as: integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards; demonstrated business acumen, experience and ability to exercise sound judgments and willingness to contribute positively to the decision-making process of the Company; skills and experience in one or more areas relevant to us; willingness and capability to take the time to actively participate in Board and committee meetings and related activities; ability to understand the interests of our various constituencies; and the ability to satisfy independence standards with no conflicts of interest. Our Board values diversity on the Board, including gender, racial and ethnic diversity, as well as a range of different experiences, educations, backgrounds, perspectives, skills and knowledge. Our Board is committed to seeking women and individuals from minority groups to serve as directors. To that end, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will endeavor to include women and individuals from minority groups in the pool from which new nominees are chosen. The committee may reevaluate and recommend for Board approval the relevant criteria for Board membership from time to time in response to changing business factors or regulatory requirements. Our full Board will be responsible for selecting candidates for election as directors based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

## Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to address significant corporate governance issues. These guidelines provide a framework for our corporate governance initiatives and cover topics including, but not limited to, director qualification and responsibilities, Board composition, director orientation and continuing education, ethics and conflict of interest, Board access to management and advisers, director compensation, Board and committee self-evaluation, the responsibilities of our Lead Director, Board meetings and administration and succession planning. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing and reviewing the guidelines and reporting and recommending to our Board any changes to the guidelines. The guidelines are available without charge on our corporate website.

## Stockholder Engagement

We expect all of our directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders and be available to answer questions from stockholders at the meetings. Between meetings, we expect William C. Cobb, our Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO, and/or Jessica P. Ross, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to engage with stockholders on a regular basis at industry and financial conferences, road shows, and one-on-one meetings. In addition, we are committed to engaging in stockholder outreach to better understand our stockholders’ perspectives and to better understand their priorities and concerns on the topics of our corporate governance and executive compensation, as well as broader ESG practices. We believe that ongoing engagement builds mutual trust and understanding with our stockholders.

![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg)

During the last twelve months, we have reached out to or engaged with many of our largest stockholders-representing a majority of our outstanding shares-to discuss any feedback they may have. The feedback we have received from our major stockholders has been supportive, and included suggestions regarding our strategy, shareholder communications, a focus on stock price appreciation, ESG disclosure and linkage to strategy and considerations for linkage of incentive compensation to our strategy. See the sections below “Environmental, Social and Governance” and “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Determination of Executive Compensation-Prior Year Say on Pay Vote” and “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Components of 2022 Compensation-Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards-2022 Awards” for more information on how we addressed these comments in fiscal 2022.

## Communicating with the Board of Directors

Any stockholder or interested party who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors as a whole, the independent directors, or any individual member of the Board or any committee of the Board may write to or email the Company at: c/o General Counsel, Frontdoor, Inc., 3400 Players Club Parkway, Ste. 300, Memphis, Tennessee 38125-1731 or Board_of_Directors@frontdoorhome.com.

Our Board of Directors has designated our General Counsel or his or her designee as its agent to receive and review written communications addressed to the Board, any of its committees, or any Board member or group of Board members. The General Counsel may communicate with the sender for any clarification. The General Counsel will promptly forward to the Chairman of the Board and Lead Director all communications, other than ordinary business communications, and in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and CEO, will determine the next steps. The General Counsel will also forward to the appropriate committee chair any communication alleging financial, legal, ethical or compliance issues or any other matter deemed by the General Counsel to be potentially material to us. As an initial matter, the General Counsel will determine whether the communication is a proper communication for the Board. The General Counsel will not forward to the Board, any committee or any director communications of a personal nature or not related to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, including, without limitation, junk mail and mass mailings, business or employment solicitations, routine customer service complaints, new product or service suggestions, opinion survey polls or any other communications deemed by the General Counsel to be insignificant to the Company, which we consider to be ordinary business communications. The General Counsel provides regular reports on the communications received to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

## Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors as a whole has responsibility for overseeing our risk management. The Board exercises this oversight responsibility directly and through its committees, and each committee provides reports to the full Board regarding the matters that it oversees. Because it directly impacts oversight of our operations and our strategy, the Board is also responsible for oversight of our enterprise risk management ("ERM") program. The oversight responsibility of the Board and its committees is informed by reports from our management team and from our internal audit department that are designed to provide visibility to the Board into the identification and assessment of key risks and our risk mitigation strategies, and the Board also has access to external advisors as needed.

The full Board of Directors has primary responsibility for evaluating strategic and operational risk management, and succession planning. Our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our major financial and accounting risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including policies and procedures for assessing and managing risk, and for overseeing compliance related to legal and regulatory exposure, and meets regularly with our chief legal and compliance officer. Our Audit Committee also undertakes responsibility for assisting the Board in overseeing cybersecurity risk, including policies and procedures for assessing and managing that risk, and meets with appropriate members of our management team regarding such risk at least quarterly. Our Compensation Committee evaluates risks arising from our compensation policies and practices, as more fully described below. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks associated with ESG issues, including the assessment and development of plans to address risks arising from ESG issues.

## Compensation Risk Assessment

During 2022, under the oversight of our Compensation Committee, we performed an assessment of risks related to our compensation programs, including our executive compensation programs. We determined that the risks arising from our 2022 compensation policies and practices were not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

## Code of Conduct and Financial Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, as well as a Financial Code of Ethics that applies to the CEO, CFO, Controller, and other designated officers and employees, including our financial employees. The Code of Conduct and Financial Code of Ethics each address matters such as acting with integrity, conflicts of interest, confidentiality and compliance with laws and regulations. The Company takes seriously allegations of non-compliance with the Code of Conduct, other Company policies and applicable laws and regulations. The Company maintains the confidentiality of information and individuals related to reports of violations required by law or when needed to properly examine or adequately respond to the matter. Employees may submit concerns and other complaints, including with respect to accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, fraud or other non-compliance anonymously through our Ethics Helpline or corporate website. The Code of Conduct and the Financial Code of Ethics are available without charge on our corporate website.

We will promptly disclose any substantive changes in or waiver of, together with reasons for any waiver of, either of these codes granted to our executive officers or our directors, by posting such information on our corporate website.

Corporate Governance Practices and Policies

## Environmental, Social and Governance

Frontdoor is committed to developing ESG initiatives that strengthen our value as a service provider, employer and global corporate citizen. In 2022, we prepared our second sustainability report (our “Sustainability Report”). We recognize that we are still in the early stages of our ESG journey, but are committed to evolving and strengthening our practices and disclosures to further operate in a way that benefits those in the world around us.

### Our Company Governance and ESG Oversight

Good corporate citizenship begins with good corporate governance. Corporate governance and responsibility are ingrained in our culture - and are the basis for our good decision-making, accountability, risk management and performance optimization. Our Board of Directors establishes policies and procedures to guide the Company’s oversight of our ESG initiatives. In addition to the corporate governance practices described throughout the “Corporate Governance” section of this Proxy Statement, following are some highlights of our governance practices in 2022:

- Extensive employee training on corporate policies and legal requirements, including cybersecurity training for each employee;
- Completed a comprehensive third-party audit of our Payment Card Industry processing systems and controls under the oversight of the Audit Committee; and
- Continued implementation of our enterprise risk management program, focused on tracking and mitigation of risk, with regular reporting to our Board of Directors.

### ESG Oversight

We believe that authentic, meaningful ESG initiatives strengthen our value as a service provider, as an employer and as a corporate citizen. To ensure that our initiatives are impactful, our Board of Directors and its committees oversee our ESG performance and holds management accountable for meeting our objectives. Executing those objectives is the responsibility of our cross-functional ESG management team. Consisting of our CEO and other senior leaders, it ensures not only that our ESG efforts are meaningful to the business and to stakeholders, but also that they are feasible enough to be successfully implemented and sustained over time. A summary of the ESG oversight and implementation activities of our Board committees and management is presented to the right.

| MULTI-LAYERED APPROACH TO ESG OVERSIGHT |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Board |  |  |
| Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee | Compensation Committee | Audit Committee |
| ESG initiatives and related risk and compliance | Employee engagement, talent and development, executive compensation and benefits and diversity and inclusion | Cybersecurity, privacy and compliance |

| General Counsel & Legal Team |  |  |
| Lead day-to-day implementation |  |  |
| Key support from Digital, Finance, Marketing, People and Operations Teams |  |  |

### Responsibility for Our Employees and Society

As a service provider, we recognize that human capital is one of our greatest assets and the future of our business. We further recognize the positive impact that our actions can have on our communities and value chain.

### Employees

To ensure our employees’ greatest opportunity for success, we strive to create an environment where they can bring their best selves to work, as well as be fully engaged and supported. Following are some highlights of the ways in which we supported our employees in 2022:

- Expanded our diversity and inclusion efforts to launch four new employee resource groups;
- Sought pulse survey feedback on employment practices and measured satisfaction with, and the impact of, our programming; and
- Focused on meeting the diverse needs of our employee community, across all stages of life--through webinars, access to resources, and sharing practical tips and tools--to equip and encourage our employees to practice caring for themselves as they care for others.

Corporate Governance Practices and Policies

### *Our Customers and Value Chain*

Our commitments to our customers include not only performing services in accordance with our agreements, but also doing so in a way that respects consumers' privacy and ensures that we are focused on solving our customers' problems and transforming their experience. We regularly solicit customer feedback and publicly report on customer retention metrics quarterly.

Our network of contractors is critical to providing services to our customers. In 2022, we continued to drive attention to rewarding career opportunities in the skilled trades and growing the pipeline of talent by building partnerships with organizations aligned with our goals and leading the integration of technology in the industry.

### **Stewardship of our Environment and World**

We recognize that changes in our environment, such as climate change, are a risk to our business and communities, and believe that efficiency in the use of resources is important. At the center of these efforts is our Environmental Policy, which is administered by our ESG management committee. Following are some of the ways we lived our commitments to our environment and world in 2022.

- Assessed and estimated our Scope 1 and 2 emissions, where data was available to us;
- Continued our program to estimate reduced truck rolls due to use of our Streem technology;
- Continued tracking estimated savings in emissions and water consumption from repair and replacement of our customers' appliances, HVAC systems and water heaters; and
- Supported our employees and customers in their efforts to protect the environment by providing resources and information.

To review additional information about the Company's ESG initiatives and review our Sustainability Report, please go to our corporate website at https://www.frontdoorhome.com/about/sustainability. The information contained on or accessible through our corporate website, including the Company's Sustainability Report, is not considered part of this Proxy Statement.

### **Procedures for Treatment of Complaints Regarding Accounting Controls and Auditing Matters**

In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our Board of Directors has adopted procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting controls or auditing matters and to allow for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees and others of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. These procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints are also available for use by employees who would like to raise other concerns, such as concerns related to harassment, conflicts of interest or other matters discussed in our Code of Conduct.

### **Certain Securities Transactions**

#### **Short Selling**

Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy that prohibits our directors, officers and employees from short sales and transactions in puts and calls of our equity securities. Short sales of our securities evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that such securities will decline in value and signal to the market an absence of confidence in our short-term prospects. Short sales may also reduce the seller's incentive to improve our performance.

#### **Pledges and Hedges**

In addition, our Board of Directors has adopted a policy that prohibits any of our directors, officers and employees from pledging our equity securities, trading on margin or engaging in hedging transactions in our equity securities. Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions (such as zero-cost collars, equity swaps, exchange funds and forward sale contracts) allow a person to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the person to continue to own the stock, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the person may no longer have the same objectives as our other stockholders.

## PROPOSAL 2

# Ratification of the Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023. The Audit Committee first retained Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm in October 2018 immediately following the Spin-off, and Deloitte has continued to serve in that capacity through fiscal 2022.

The Audit Committee annually evaluates the independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm and determines whether to retain the current firm or consider other firms. In addition, in conjunction with the mandated rotation of our external auditor’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its chair are directly involved in the selection of the external auditor’s new lead engagement partner.

In selecting Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023, the Audit Committee considered carefully Deloitte’s performance as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in fiscal 2022, its independence with respect to the services to be performed, its technical expertise and knowledge of the Company’s industry and operations, the reasonableness of its fees, and its general reputation for adherence to professional auditing standards. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the continued retention of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Representatives of Deloitte are expected to participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Ratification by the stockholders of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm is not required, but the Board of Directors believes that it is desirable to submit this matter to the stockholders. If the selection of Deloitte is not ratified at the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee will investigate the reason for the rejection and reconsider the appointment. Even in the event our stockholders ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during fiscal 2023 if the committee determines that such a change would be in the Company’s and its stockholders’ best interests.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL 2023.**

### All Other Fees

There were no such fees paid for fiscal 2022 or fiscal 2021.

### Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee's Policy Regarding Pre-Approval of Services of the Independent Auditor provides for pre-approval of audit, audit-related, tax and other services specifically described in the policy. Requests for services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee must be submitted to the Audit Committee by both our independent auditor (or independent registered public accounting firm) and our CFO or other appropriately designated officer, and must include a joint statement stating that the performance of such services will not impair the independence of the independent auditor and whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence. The policy authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services, provided that such authority shall not include the approval of services for which the associated fees exceed $150,000. Pursuant to this delegation, the committee member to whom such authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decision to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to its chair, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the policy.

All of the services described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the policy.

# Audit Committee Report

The following is the report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors with respect to the Company's audited financial statements for fiscal 2022.

The Audit Committee is governed by the Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Company's Board of Directors. Our Board has determined that each current member of the Audit Committee, namely Richard P. Fox, Peter L. Cella, Christopher L. Clipper and Liane J. Pelletier, (i) is an "independent" director based on Nasdaq Rule 5605 and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, (ii) satisfies the SEC's additional independence requirement for members of audit committees, and (iii) is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by SEC rules.

The Audit Committee reviews the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee has met and reviewed and discussed the Company's audited financial statements with management, which has primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. In this context, the Audit Committee has held discussions with management and Deloitte, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2022, regarding the fair and complete presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP and regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee has discussed significant accounting policies applied by the Company in its financial statements, as well as alternative treatments. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Deloitte is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of the Company's financial statements with U.S. GAAP and the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also has held discussions with management and Deloitte regarding the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

In addition, the Audit Committee has:

- reviewed the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and discussed them with management and Deloitte;
- discussed with Deloitte various communications that Deloitte is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including matters required to be discussed by the applicable standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") and the SEC; and
- received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Deloitte's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with Deloitte their independence.

Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company's Board of Directors that the Company's audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022.

The Audit Committee has selected Deloitte as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023, and the Board of Directors has approved submitting such selection to the stockholders for ratification.

This report is being provided by the following independent directors who constituted the Audit Committee as of February 23, 2023, the date of the approval of this report by the Audit Committee.

## PROPOSAL 3

# Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company is seeking advisory stockholder approval of the compensation of its named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules. Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following advisory resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and any related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED."

As described more fully in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this Proxy Statement, the 2022 executive compensation program of the Company was designed to achieve the following key objectives:

- Align executive interests with those of stockholders by focusing management on the attainment of the Company's strategic objectives, rewarding long-term, value-creating growth and encouraging stock ownership;
- Support the building of a highly engaged, high performance culture with a strong shared talent mindset in support of a one-company philosophy as measured through the Company's employee engagement survey, and succession plans for key positions;
- Attract, retain, focus, and reward highly motivated talent with strong team orientation and sense of accountability;
- Be performance-based, with variable pay constituting a significant portion of total compensation, with differentiated awards based on an executive's individual performance;
- Encourage equity ownership among executives;
- Encourage appropriate, and not excessive, risk taking;
- Be simple to understand and administer; and
- Target total direct compensation consisting of salary, annual cash incentive and long-term equity-based incentive awards to be competitive with our peer group to encourage growth and scale, while recognizing key competitive, fairness and performance considerations.

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the design of the 2022 executive compensation program, and hence the compensation awarded to named executive officers under the program, fulfilled these objectives. In particular, a significant portion of the compensation of the named executive officers consisted of long-term equity incentive compensation that aligns their compensation with the interests of stockholders over the long term.

Stockholders are urged to read the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this Proxy Statement, which discusses in detail how the Company's compensation approach implements the Company's compensation objectives.

While the results of the vote are non-binding and advisory in nature, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors intend to review and consider the results of the vote. The next vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers is expected to be held at the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

☑ THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Objectives of Our Executive Compensation Program

## Fiscal 2022 Performance Overview

Despite 2022 being one of the most challenging macroeconomic environments that we have experienced, our Company, led by our named executive officers, delivered another year of growth in 2022 and advanced key strategic objectives, including:

- Revenue increased 4% to $1,662 million, which was comprised of increases in price and a change in product mix, partially offset by lower volumes;
- Gross Profit decreased 10% to $710 million, primarily driven by higher inflation;
- Net Income decreased 45% to $71 million;
- Adjusted EBITDA* decreased 33% to $214 million, primarily as a result of higher contract claims costs driven by inflationary cost pressures, partially offset by higher revenue conversion*;
- Customer retention rate improved 150 basis points to 75.7%*; and
- Utilization of Streem technology and on-demand business continued to evolve as we prepared for the launch of the Frontdoor brand in 2023.

* See page 5 of this Proxy Statement for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and source for a reconciliation to net income and additional information about our revenue conversion and customer retention rate.

## Objectives of Our Executive Compensation Program

Our compensation plans for executives (including the NEOs) are designed to:

- Align executive interests with those of stockholders by focusing management on the attainment of the Company's strategic objectives, rewarding long-term, value-creating growth and encouraging stock ownership;
- Support the building of a highly engaged, high performance culture with a strong shared talent mindset in support of a one-company philosophy as measured through the Company's employee engagement survey, and succession plans for key positions;
- Attract, retain, focus, and reward highly motivated talent with strong team orientation and sense of accountability;
- Be performance-based, with variable pay constituting a significant portion of total compensation, with differentiated awards based on an executive's individual performance;
- Encourage equity ownership among executives;
- Encourage appropriate, and not excessive, risk-taking;
- Be simple to understand and administer; and
- Target total direct compensation consisting of salary, annual cash incentive and long-term equity-based incentive awards to be competitive with our peer group to encourage growth and scale, while recognizing key competitive, fairness and performance considerations.

We believe that our pay actions for 2022 and the programs we have established fully reflect these objectives.

## Elements of Executive Compensation, Including for NEOs

We believe it is necessary for our executive compensation program to be attractive to compete in the national market for executive talent and that our program must support our growth strategy and business objectives. As a result of this focus, we rely on competitive pay practices, and individual and business performance in determining the compensation of our executives. In making these compensation determinations, we also consider historical individual compensation levels and historical Company payout levels for annual cash incentives. The executive compensation program and underlying philosophy are reviewed at least annually to determine what, if any, modifications should be considered.

Each of these elements, discussed in more detail further below, plays an integral role in our balancing of executive rewards over short- and long-term periods and our ability to attract and retain key executives. We believe the design of our executive compensation program creates alignment between performance achieved and compensation awarded and motivates achievement of both annual goals and sustainable long-term performance.

## Determination of Executive Compensation

### Role of the Compensation Committee and Management

The role of our Compensation Committee is to assist our Board of Directors in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing, administering and monitoring our policies governing the compensation for our executive officers, including determining salaries and short- and long-term incentive awards.

The Compensation Committee will determine the CEO's compensation and report and discuss the approved compensation with our Board of Directors. Our CEO will recommend to the Compensation Committee compensation for our other executive officers based on his assessment of each executive officer's area of responsibility, individual performance, overall contribution and prevailing marketplace conditions. Our CEO provides input to the Compensation Committee regarding compensation mix, incentive plan design, pay levels and inducement packages pertaining to the recruitment of new executives. These items were assessed by the Compensation Committee, with input from the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant, and considered by the Compensation Committee as part of its evaluation of our executive compensation program

Determination of Executive Compensation

design. Our CEO will continue to play an active role in evaluating our executive leadership team and determining their compensation in support of the Compensation Committee's activities. However, the CEO does not play a role in determining his own compensation.

## Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC ('Meridian') as its independent compensation consultant for 2022. During the compensation planning process, the Compensation Committee expects its compensation consultant to provide analysis, recommendations, and advice that will inform the Compensation Committee's decisions. Meridian's services include, but are not limited to: (i) providing market pay comparisons pertaining to the Company's executives; (ii) assisting in the design and implementation of executive incentive plans to ensure appropriate linkage to stockholder value creation; (iii) updating the Compensation Committee on governance trends relating to executive compensation; and (iv) reviewing various proposals presented by management to the Compensation Committee on executive compensation matters. Pursuant to SEC rules, the Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Meridian and has concluded that Meridian, and the individual compensation advisers employed by Meridian, are independent and have no conflicts of interests that would prevent Meridian from independently providing services to the Compensation Committee.

## Peer Group

Our peer group for 2022, which is the same as our 2021 peer group, was established by our Compensation Committee with input from Meridian and reflects a group of companies with similar or adjacent business models and who source talent from the same labor pools as the Company. In determining the peer group, the size and performance of the companies were taken into consideration, with preference given to companies having revenues generally ranging from 0.4 to 6.6 times the revenue of the Company.

| 2022 Peer Group |  |
| --- | --- |
| ADT Inc. | KAR Auction Services, Inc. |
| Alarm.com Holdings, Inc. | Realogy Holdings Corp. |
| Angi Inc. | Redfin Corporation |
| Cars.com Inc. | Vivint Smart Home, Inc. |
| FirstService Corporation | WW International, Inc. |
| H&R Block, Inc. | Yelp Inc. |
| HomeServe plc | Zillow Group, Inc. |
| IAA, Inc. |  |

The Compensation Committee used the peer group as a reference point when reviewing the competitiveness of our executive compensation program, in making executive compensation decisions, and in assisting with the design and operation of our annual incentive plan and long-term incentive awards.

In September 2022, the Compensation Committee completed a review of our 2022 peer group, focusing on changes in the business or performance of these companies from the prior year. The Compensation Committee considered a number of factors, beginning with company size, performance and industry. The Compensation Committee further reviewed the peer companies for similarities in operations, including profitable growth; recurring revenue; home or real estate services; and transformational, local network-related, technology-enabled and platform-enabled businesses; and also included core and emerging peer companies based on the application of financial, industry, competitive and qualitative filters. Based on these factors, the Compensation Committee determined that the peer group continued to be appropriate and made no adjustments to our peer group for 2023. The appropriateness of the companies comprising the peer group will be reassessed annually, and any changes to the composition of the group will be subject to approval by the Compensation Committee.

## Prior Year Say on Pay Vote

In 2022, the Compensation Committee considered the outcome of the stockholder advisory vote on 2021 executive compensation when making decisions relating to the compensation of our NEOs and our executive compensation program and policies. Our stockholders voted at our 2022 Annual Meeting, in a non-binding, advisory vote, on the 2021 compensation paid to our NEOs. Over 87% of the votes were cast in favor of the Company's 2021 compensation decisions. See 'Corporate Governance-Corporate Governance Practices and Policies-Stockholder Engagement' for additional information about our stockholder engagement during 2022.

Components of 2022 Compensation

## Components of 2022 Compensation

A significant portion of the 2022 total direct compensation for our executives consisted of variable, at-risk compensation. Variable, at-risk total direct compensation includes the 2022 AIP award at target and long-term equity-based incentive award dollar value at target. The following charts illustrate the proportional components of 2022 compensation for our CEO, and the average proportional components of 2022 compensation for our other NEOs, as well as a percentage of overall, variable, at-risk compensation.

![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg)

For comparison purposes, the information above for our CEO reflects an annualized fiscal 2022 salary and AIP award for Mr. Cobb and his long-term equity grants received due to his role as CEO, including his sign-on equity award; no compensation awarded to him for his services as a director and Chairman of the Board of Directors is reflected. The information above for “Average Other NEOs” reflects the average compensation paid to Messrs. Fiarman and Turcotte; Ms. Ross’ 2022 compensation components are not reflected, as she was not eligible to receive an AIP award or annual long-term equity-based incentive award for 2022.

The Compensation Committee determined the salary and incentive compensation opportunities for fiscal 2022 for Messrs. Turcotte and Fiarman in February 2022, and in May 2022 approved salary and incentive compensation opportunities for Mr. Cobb, along with an additional special performance-based equity award for Messrs. Turcotte and Fiarman for retention purposes. The committee approved the salary and incentive compensation opportunities for Ms. Ross in November 2022. In each case, the Compensation Committee considered data regarding compensation for the Company’s 2022 Peer Group, as well as third-party salary survey information and the Company’s business strategy.

### Salary

The Compensation Committee will annually review the salaries of our executives, which includes our executive officers and other members of the senior leadership team. The Compensation Committee may take into account various factors when considering annual merit increases, including:

- Competitive practice among the Company’s peer group, as well as general industry practice;
- The Company’s financial performance in the prior year and expectations for the coming year;
- The impact that increased fixed costs will have on the ability to meet the Company’s annual operating plan;
- Individual proficiency and experience; and
- Internal equity.

The following table sets forth information regarding the 2022 salaries for our former NEOs.

| Former Named Executive Officer |  |
| --- | --- |
| Mr. Tibbens (1) | $825,000 |
| Mr. Turcotte (2) | $535,000 |

(1) Mr. Tibbens served as President and CEO until June 1, 2022 and served as a special advisor to the Company from June 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, the date of his departure from the Company.

In February 2022, the Compensation Committee determined to increase the salaries of Messrs. Tibbens (from $800,000), Turcotte (from $505,000) and Fiarman (from $470,000), in each case effective April 1, 2022, to reflect competitive practice among the Company's peer group, as well as general industry practice and individual proficiency and experience. The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Cobb's salary, as of his commencement date as the Company's CEO, and was set within a competitive market range. Ms. Ross' salary reflects competitive practice among the Company's peer group, as well as general industry practice and individual proficiency and experience.

## Annual Cash Incentive Awards

### 2022 Annual Incentive Plan Design

The Compensation Committee approved an annual incentive bonus plan for 2022 that was designed to reward the achievement of specific pre-set financial and strategic results measured over the 2022 fiscal year. The Compensation Committee determined that, consistent with fiscal 2021, the AIP bonus awards for 2022 would be calculated based on the NEO's eligible earnings, or base salary paid to the NEO, during fiscal 2022.

The target bonus approved by the Compensation Committee for each NEO for 2022 is listed in the table below.

| Named Executive Officer | AIP 2022 Annual Incentive Target as a Percentage of Eligible Earnings |
| --- | --- |
| William C. Cobb | 120% |
| Rexford J. Tibbens (1) | 120% |
| Jessica P. Ross (2) | - |
| Brian K. Turcotte (3) | 90% |
| Jeffrey A. Fiarman | 60% |

(1) The Compensation Committee approved a target bonus opportunity of 120% for Mr. Tibbens; however, he became ineligible for a bonus upon his departure from the Company in June 2022.

(2) Ms. Ross was not employed prior to October 31, 2022 and therefore was not eligible to receive a 2022 AIP bonus award.

(3) Mr. Turcotte continues to be eligible for a 2022 AIP bonus pursuant to the terms of his Separation and Transition Agreement.

In February 2022, the Compensation Committee made no change to the AIP bonus targets for Mr. Tibbens or Mr. Fiarman, as it was determined that their targets were in line with their peer benchmarks. At that time, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Turcotte's AIP target bonus for 2022 from 80% to 90% to reflect competitive practice among the Company's peer group. The Compensation Committee determined in November

40 frontdoor • 2023 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Components of 2022 Compensation

2022 that, following his transition, Mr. Turcotte would continue to be eligible for a 2022 AIP target bonus based on 90% of his eligible earnings, as described in his Separation and Transition Agreement.

In May 2022, the Compensation Committee approved Mr. Cobb's 2022 AIP target bonus based on peer group practice, and confirmed that it would be pro-rated for the time Mr. Cobb served as CEO of the Company.

The Compensation Committee determined that incentives under the 2022 AIP for applicable NEOs would be based on our performance with respect to the following performance goals and weightings: (1) two financial performance goals consisting of Adjusted EBITDA (35%) and Revenue (30%); and (2) two strategic performance goals consisting of customer retention (20%) and the satisfaction of strategic objectives related to our emerging businesses and customer service (15%); for a total combined weighting of 100%. The Compensation Committee determined that each of the metrics was appropriate to motivate the NEOs to lead the Company and to deliver on annual growth in support of the Company's long-term strategy.

For each performance measure, the Compensation Committee approved that the achievement factor will be determined by measuring actual performance against threshold, target and maximum goals based on a scale that provides for a payout of 25% for threshold performance, 100% for target performance and 200% for maximum performance. In establishing the goals, the committee considered actual performance for 2021, the Company's budget for 2022 and short-term and long-term business drivers for the Company. The following table sets forth the financial performance goals, including threshold, target and maximum performance levels, and the respective weightings of the financial performance goals under the 2022 AIP.

| Financial Performance Goal | Threshold (25%) | Target (100%) | Maximum (200%) | Weighting |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $250 million | $309 million | $325 million | 35% |
| Revenue | $1.602 billion | $1.724 billion | $1.846 billion | 30% |

Actual amounts paid under the 2022 AIP bonus are calculated by multiplying each NEO's 2022 eligible earnings by (i) the executive's 2022 AIP bonus target annual cash incentive opportunity (which is reflected as a percentage of eligible earnings) and (ii) the executive's weighted achievement factor.

## 2022 Annual Incentive Plan Determinations

In February 2023, the Compensation Committee assessed our performance against the 2022 AIP financial performance goals. For actual performance between the specified threshold, target and maximum levels, the resulting achievement factor was calculated on a linear interpolation basis. The weighted achievement factor for each performance measure was then determined by multiplying the weight attributed to each performance measure by the achievement factor for such measure based on the Company's fiscal 2022 performance. The levels of achievement attained, achievement factors and the weighted achievement factors for the financial performance goals are listed in the table below.

| Financial Performance Goal | 2022 Results | 2022 Results as a % of Target | 2022 Achievement Factor | 2022 Weighted Achievement Factor |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Adjusted EBITDA (1) | $214 million | 69.3% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Revenue | $1.662 billion | 96.4% | 61.9% | 18.6% |

(1) Adjusted EBITDA under the 2022 AIP is calculated in the same manner as described in the Part II, Item 7 section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

The Compensation Committee additionally determined that we achieved 100.7% of our customer retention goal resulting in a 30.0% achievement factor. With respect to the satisfaction of the strategic objectives goal, which focused on the evolution of our emerging businesses and customer service improvements, the Compensation Committee determined that we achieved 2022 actual results as a percentage of target of 100%, resulting in a weighted achievement factor of 15.0% for this goal.

The Compensation Committee then determined that Company performance under the 2022 AIP was 63.6% in the aggregate in accordance with application of the weightings applicable to each of the financial and strategic performance goals.

## 2022 Annual Incentive Plan Payout

Accordingly, in February 2023, the Compensation Committee awarded Messrs. Cobb, Turcotte and Fiarman 2022 AIP bonuses as set forth in the following table. Mr. Tibbens and Ms. Ross were not eligible for a 2022 AIP bonus payout.

| Named Executive Officer | 2022 AIP Eligible Compensation | AIP Annual Incentive Target as of Percentage of Eligible Earnings | 2022 AIP Eligible Bonus Payout Factor | 2022 AIP Bonus Payouts |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Mr. Cobb (1) | $481,250 (1) | 120% | 76.32% | $367,290 |
| Mr. Turcotte | $526,231 | 90% | 57.24% | $301,215 |
| Mr. Fiarman | $503,750 | 60% | 38.16% | $192,231 |

(1) Mr. Cobb's 2022 AIP bonus eligible compensation reflects employee compensation paid after his appointment as the Company's CEO on June 1, 2022, and does not include fees paid for service as our non-employee Chairman and a member of our Board of Directors.

## Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

### 2022 Annual Awards

In consideration of feedback from stockholders and to reinforce the Company's performance and growth agenda, the Compensation Committee determined to grant PSUs for 50% of the long-term equity incentive awards, and time-vested RSUs for the remaining 50% of the long-term equity incentive awards for Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman. The Compensation Committee believed that PSUs create strong alignment with stockholder interests, since value is delivered only in the event that the performance metrics are met. Meanwhile, time-vested RSUs balanced the performance orientation of PSUs with the objectives of real ownership and retention. In February 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the target dollar value of long-term equity incentive awards to be granted to Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman. In determining the target dollar value of these awards, the Compensation Committee considered data regarding compensation for the Company's 2022 Peer Group, as well as third-party salary survey information, the Company's business strategy and feedback from stockholders received in connection with the Company's executive compensation program.

Upon Mr. Cobb's appointment as CEO in June 2022, the Compensation Committee awarded him a long-term equity incentive award in the form of 25% PSUs, 25% RSUs and 50% PSOs. In approving the target dollar value of long-term equity incentive awards to be granted to Mr. Cobb, the Compensation Committee aligned his award to market benchmarks and pro-rated it to reflect Mr. Cobb's time of service as CEO in 2022.

The table below summarizes the annual long-term equity incentive awards that were granted to each of the NEOs in 2022.

| Named Executive Officer | Total Annual Equity Award Dollar Values | Target PSO Dollar Values | Target Number of PSOs | Target PSU Dollar Values | Target Number of PSUs | RSU Dollar Values | Number of RSUs |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Mr. Cobb (1) | $3,500,000 | $1,750,000 | 152,236 | $875,000 | 35,368 | $875,000 | 35,368 |
| Mr. Tibbens (2) | $5,000,000 | $ - | - | $2,500,000 | 86,745 | $2,500,000 | 86,745 |
| Ms. Ross (3) | $ - | $ - | - | $ - | - | $ - | - |
| Mr. Turcotte (4) | $1,550,000 | $ - | - | $775,000 | 26,891 | $775,000 | 26,891 |
| Mr. Fiarman (5) | $1,080,000 | $ - | - | $540,000 | 18,737 | $540,000 | 18,737 |

(1) Mr. Cobb's annual equity awards were granted on June 1, 2022. Mr. Cobb additionally received a sign-on equity grant valued at $500,000 that is not reflected in this table.

(2) Mr. Tibbens annual equity awards were forfeited on June 30, 2022, his last day with the Company.

(3) Ms. Ross did not receive an annual long-term equity grant for 2022. In connection with commencement of employment, Ms. Ross received a sign-on equity grant valued at $100,000 that is not reflected in this table.

(4) Mr. Turcotte additionally received a special retention equity award valued at $387,500 that is not reflected in this table.

(5) Mr. Fiarman additionally received a special retention equity award valued at $270,000 that is not reflected in this table.

The target PSU dollar values were converted into a target number of PSUs based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day that immediately preceded the grant date. The terms and conditions of the PSUs provide that the PSUs will generally vest and be payable on the third anniversary of the applicable annual award grant date (i.e. for Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman on

42 frontdoor • 2023 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Components of 2022 Compensation

March 28, 2025, and for Mr. Cobb on June 1, 2025) subject to the Company achieving certain specified revenue performance goals measured at the end of the third year of a three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2024, subject to the executive's continued employment through the applicable vesting date. The total number of PSUs that vest will range from 0% to 200% of target as determined by measuring actual performance at the end of the performance period on December 31, 2024 against the specified revenue performance goals based on a pre-established scale.

The target PSO dollar values were converted into a target number of PSOs based on a Monte-Carlo valuation on the trading day that immediately preceded the grant date. The terms and conditions of the PSOs provide that the PSOs will vest and become exercisable upon the achievement of both (1) a service condition, which will be deemed satisfied on the first anniversary of the grant date subject to the respective executive's continuous service with the Company through such date, and (2) a performance condition, which will be deemed satisfied if, on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the grant date (i.e. June 1, 2026), the Company's Common Stock achieves designated per share price targets based on the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock over any 20 consecutive trading day period as reflected on the Nasdaq (the 'VWAP'). The 'performance condition' will be deemed satisfied with respect to the value of one-third of the grant upon each of a $35.00 VWAP, $40.00 VWAP and $45.00 VWAP, respectively.

The RSUs dollar values were converted into a number of RSUs based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day that immediately preceded the grant date, and will vest over three years in equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the applicable grant date, subject to the executive's continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

If the executive's employment terminates upon death or disability during the performance period, the PSUs will vest and be paid out at target. If the executive's employment is terminated without cause or the executive terminates his employment for good reason, a pro-rata portion of the PSUs will continue to vest until the third anniversary of the grant date based on actual Company performance. Upon a change in control during the performance period, unless an alternative award is provided, any unearned portion of the PSU will be considered earned at target, or if the change of control occurs within the last 12 months of the performance period, at the greater of target earned and projected earnings. If the executive's employment terminates upon death or disability during the performance period, and the service condition has been satisfied, the unvested PSOs will remain outstanding and eligible to vest and become exercisable; otherwise, all unvested PSOs shall be forfeited. If the executive's employment is terminated upon (1) death, disability or retirement, all vested PSOs shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the termination, (ii) the tenth anniversary of the grant, or (iii) cancellation of the PSOs following a change in control; or (2) for any other reason (other than cause), all vested and exercisable PSOs shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the three-month anniversary of the termination, (ii) the tenth anniversary of the grant, or (iii) cancellation of the PSOs following a change in control. Upon a change in control during the performance period, unless an alternative award is provided, or if the executive is involuntarily terminated (but not for cause) or terminates employment for good reason within two years, any unvested portion of the PSO will vest and become exercisable in full. The post-termination vesting for RSUs will be substantially the same as the rights that apply to RSUs previously granted to the NEOs. The terms and conditions of each of the awards provide that Mr. Cobb shall not be deemed to have incurred a termination as long as he continues to serve as a director of the Company. Post-termination vesting for PSOs, PSUs and RSUs are described below under the heading '*Executive Compensation Tables-Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control-Equity Awards*.'

## 2022 Special Retention Awards

To further reinforce the Company's performance and growth agenda and to encourage retention of key personnel during a time of transition in leadership, in May 2022, the Compensation Committee determined to grant PSOs to Messrs. Turcotte and Fiarman. The PSO terms and conditions were consistent with the terms and conditions of the PSOs granted to Mr. Cobb.

| Named Executive Officer | PSO Equity Award Dollar Values | Target Number of PSOs |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Mr. Turcotte | $387,500 | 33,709 |

The RSU dollar value was converted into a number of RSUs based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day that immediately preceded the grant date (June 1, 2022), resulting in a grant of 20,210 RSUs to Mr. Cobb. The RSUs will vest over two years in equal annual installments on the first two anniversaries of the grant date, subject to Mr. Cobb's continued service through the applicable vesting date.

The RSUs will vest over two years in equal annual installments on the first two anniversaries of the grant date, subject to Ms. Ross' continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

## Fiscal 2023 Executive Compensation

In February 2023, the Compensation Committee determined the salary and incentive compensation opportunities for our executives for 2023. The Compensation Committee considered data regarding compensation for the Company's 2023 Peer Group, as well as third-party salary survey information, the Company's business strategy and prior feedback from stockholders received in connection with the Company's executive compensation program.

The Compensation Committee made no changes to the annual incentive plan opportunities, as a percentage of salary, for Mr. Cobb, Ms. Ross and Mr. Fiarman. The Compensation Committee approved long-term equity incentive awards, consisting of PSOs and RSUs, having aggregate grant date fair values of $5,500,000, $1,700,000 and $1,500,000 for Mr. Cobb, Ms. Ross and Mr. Fiarman, respectively, to be granted in March 2023.

Additionally, in connection with the appointment of Ms. Ross as the Company's Senior Vice President and CFO, she received a sign-on grant of RSUs as described above and a cash bonus of $775,000, which was paid upon commencement of her employment.

### Employment Agreements

Mr. Cobb was hired to serve as our CEO pursuant to an employment agreement with us dated May 19, 2022 and commenced employment on June 1, 2022. Ms. Ross was hired to serve as our Senior Vice President and CFO with us pursuant to an offer letter dated December 1, 2022 and commenced employment on December 30, 2022. Mr. Fiarman was hired to serve as our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary pursuant to an offer letter dated July 5, 2018 and commenced employment on August 27, 2018.

Additional Information about Our Compensation Practices

CEO through March 31, 2023. Mr. Turcotte entered into a Separation and Transition Agreement with the Company on December 1, 2022. The material terms of this arrangement is described below under “*Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control-Severance Benefits-Employment Arrangements*.”

## Retirement Benefits

Our employees, including the NEOs, are generally eligible to participate in the Frontdoor, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Frontdoor 401(k) Plan”), as it may be amended from time to time. The Frontdoor 401(k) Plan is a tax qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan. We made a “safe harbor” matching contribution for our employees who contributed during the 2022 plan year.

## Employee Benefits and Executive Perquisites

We offer a variety of health and welfare programs to all eligible employees, including the NEOs. The NEOs are eligible for the same health and welfare benefit programs on the same basis as the rest of our employees, including medical and dental care coverage, life insurance coverage and short- and long-term disability. In addition, pursuant to our 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), eligible employees, including the NEOs, may purchase Common Stock, subject to Internal Revenue Service limits, during specified offering periods at a purchase price equal to 85% of the closing price per share on the day preceding the last day of the applicable offering period.

We limit the use of perquisites as a method of compensation and provide executive officers with only those perquisites that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our compensation goal of enabling us to attract and retain superior executives for key positions.

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Cobb’s employment agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse him up to $20,000 for legal fees incurred during 2022 in connection with his employment agreement. Mr. Cobb did not use this perquisite.

Pursuant to the terms of Ms. Ross’ compensation arrangement, the Company has offered to cover corporate housing and reasonable local transportation in the Memphis area for the first six months of her employment, if elected by Ms. Ross, and executive relocation benefits pursuant to the Company’s relocation policy, if Ms. Ross elects to relocate to the Memphis, Tennessee area within the first 24 months of her employment. Ms. Ross did not use this perquisite in 2022.

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Fiarman’s offer letter, the Company will cover reasonable commuting expenses from Connecticut to Memphis, Tennessee up to a maximum of 50 round trips per year, including both airfare and ground transportation, consistent with the business travel policies applicable to the Company’s executive team members. However, beginning in 2020, the Company transitioned to a virtual-first work environment, such that employees are generally not required to consistently work in one of our offices. Accordingly, consistent with its treatment of other employees, the Company no longer considers reimbursement of Mr. Fiarman’s expenses for his limited travel to Memphis, Tennessee to be a perquisite.

## Post-Termination Compensation

Messrs. Cobb and Fiarman, and Ms. Ross, each have a severance arrangement with us, either as part of their employment agreement, in the case of Mr. Cobb, or offer letter, in the cases of Mr. Fiarman and Ms. Ross. The severance benefits to which Messrs. Cobb and Fiarman, and Ms. Ross are entitled are described in detail below under the heading “*Executive Compensation Tables-Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control-Severance Benefits-Employment Arrangements*.” For a description of the potential vesting of outstanding equity awards that may occur in connection with certain termination events, see “*Executive Compensation Tables-Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control-Equity Awards*” below.

Additionally, in December 2022, the Company adopted an Executive Severance Policy, effective January 1, 2023, as described in more detail under “*Executive Compensation Tables-Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control-Equity Awards*” below.

(1) Amounts reported reflect the NEO's annual salary earned during the fiscal year, taking into account increases, if any, in salary during the course of the year, and are not reduced to reflect the NEO's election, if any, to defer receipt of salary into our savings plan for U.S. employees. The amount reported for Ms. Ross reflects salary paid from December 30, 2022. For additional details on actions taken with respect to the base salaries of the applicable NEOs in fiscal 2022, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Components of 2022 Compensation-Salary."

(2) For 2022, stock awards consisted of awards of time-vesting RSUs (to all NEOs) and PSUs (to Messrs. Cobb, Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman). The award of an RSU is the right to receive one share of our Common Stock upon the vesting date of the RSU. Amounts shown represent the grant date fair value of the applicable RSUs granted during fiscal 2022, each as calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The grant date fair value for the RSUs and PSUs is based solely on the closing price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq on the trading day that immediately preceded the applicable grant date (i.e., $28.82 for grants to Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman, $24.74 for grants to Mr. Cobb, and $20.82 for the grant to Ms. Ross). The PSUs vest on the third anniversary of the applicable grant date subject to the NEO's continued employment and the Company's achievement of certain specified revenue performance goals measured at the end of the third year of a three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2024. The grant date fair value of a stock award is measured in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 718 using the assumptions discussed in Note 9 to our financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022. Assuming the highest level of performance achievement, the aggregate grant date fair value of the PSUs reflected in the table would have been: Mr. Cobb - $1,750,009; Mr. Tibbens - $4,999,982; Mr. Turcotte - $1,549,997; and Mr. Fiarman - $1,080,001. Upon Mr. Tibbens's resignation from the Company effective on June 30, 2022, the RSUs and PSUs awarded in 2022 were forfeited.

The amount reported for Mr. Cobb also includes the stock award for his service as a member and Chairman of our Board of Directors prior to his election as the Company's CEO, which was comprised of fully vested Common Stock. Mr. Cobb elected to defer receipt of these shares until 30 days after he no longer sits on our Board, and the shares were converted to DSEs that remain outstanding in the 2018 Plan until that time. The amount shown represents the aggregate grant date fair value of stock awards granted on May 11, 2022 calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The grant date fair value for the stock award is based solely on the closing price of our Common Stock on the trading day that immediately preceded the date of the grant (i.e. $26.40). For information on fiscal 2022 non-employee director compensation, see "Director Compensation-2022 Compensation and Stock Paid to Directors."

# Summary Compensation Table

(3) For 2022, stock option awards consisted of performance-based non-qualified stock options to purchase the Company's Common Stock. Amounts shown represent the grant date fair value of the PSOs for each of the 3 tranches of shares (each one-third of the total award) subject to corresponding market targets, measured in accordance with guidance in FASB ASC Topic 718 using a Monte Carlo valuation model and the assumptions discussed in Note 9 to our financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022. The PSOs will vest and become exercisable upon the achievement of both (1) a service condition, which will be deemed satisfied on the first anniversary of the grant date subject to the NEO's continuous service with the Company through such date, and (2) a performance condition, which will be deemed satisfied if, on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the grant date, the Company's Common Stock achieves designated per share price targets based on our VWAP over any 20 consecutive trading day period as reflected on the Nasdaq. The "performance condition" will be deemed satisfied with respect to the value of one-third of each grant upon each of a $35.00 VWAP, $40.00 VWAP and $45.00 VWAP, respectively. The PSOs reflected above assume the highest level of achievement at 100%. The PSOs vest according to service and market conditions, and therefore have no maximum grant date fair values presented in the table.
(4) Amounts shown consist solely of the NEO's annual, performance-based cash bonus. As Ms. Ross commenced employment after October 31, 2022, she was not eligible for a 2022 performance-based cash bonus. For additional details on the amounts shown for fiscal 2022, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Components of 2022 Compensation-Annual Cash Incentive Awards."
(5) Amount reflects $65,000 in cash fees paid as compensation for his service as non-employee member and Chairman of our Board of Directors and contributions by the Company to its savings plan for salaried U.S. employees.
(6) Amount reported consists of contributions by the Company to its savings plan for salaried U.S. employees and payout of accrued but unused vacation time upon termination of employment.
(7) Amount reported reflects a sign-on bonus paid to Ms. Ross at the commencement of her employment with the Company on December 30, 2022 pursuant to the terms of her offer letter.

(1) Amounts reflect the applicable threshold, target and maximum payouts established by the Compensation Committee under the Company’s 2022 AIP. The threshold funding factor was 25% of target and the maximum funding factor was 200% of target for each performance goal.

See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Components of 2022 Compensation-Annual Cash Incentive Awards-2022 Annual Incentive Plan Design” above for a description of our annual, performance-based cash bonus.

(2) The exercise price of the PSOs is based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the trading day that immediately precedes the applicable grant date.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal 2022

(5) The NEO received an award of non-qualified performance stock options with a grant date on June 1, 2022, with 100% of the award subject to market-based performance targets. The PSOs expire on the ten-year anniversary of the grant date and have an exercise price of $24.74 per share. The PSOs will vest and become exercisable upon the achievement of both (i) a service condition, which will be deemed satisfied on the first anniversary of the grant date subject to the NEO's continuous service with the Company through such date, and (ii) a market performance condition, which will be deemed satisfied if, on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the grant date, the Company's Common Stock achieves designated per share price targets based on the VWAP of our Common Stock over any 20 consecutive trading day period as reflected on the Nasdaq. The performance condition will be deemed satisfied with respect to the value of one-third of each NEO's award upon each of the achievement of $35.00 VWAP, $40.00 VWAP and $45.00 VWAP, respectively. "Threshold" refers to the portion of the award that will be eligible to vest and become exercisable upon reaching the threshold level of performance, which is satisfaction of only the first VWAP hurdle. If threshold performance is not attained, then the executive will not vest in any portion of the award. "Target" refers to the portion of the award that will be eligible to vest and become exercisable upon satisfaction of all VWAP hurdles. The award does not have a "Maximum" level of attainment that differs from "Target" as the NEO cannot receive any additional options for additional stock price appreciation.
(6) The NEO received an award of time-vesting RSUs on the applicable grant date: Mr. Cobb on June 1, 2022 and Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman on March 28, 2022.

Mr. Cobb elected to defer receipt of the shares until 30 days after he no longer sits on the Board, and the shares were converted to DSEs that remain outstanding in the 2018 Plan until that time. Mr. Cobb no longer received fees for his service on the Board after his election as the Company's CEO, although he remains a member and Chairman of the Board.
(9) Amounts shown reflect the proration of Mr. Cobb's 2022 AIP based on his employment start date of June 1, 2022.
(10) Ms. Ross received a sign-on award of time-vesting RSUs on December 30, 2022. The RSUs vest over two years on each anniversary of the grant date.

The PSOs expire on the ten-year anniversary of the grant date and have an exercise price of $24.74 per share. The PSOs will vest and become exercisable upon the achievement of both (i) a service condition, which will be deemed satisfied on the first anniversary of the grant date subject to the NEO's continuous service with the Company through such date, and (ii) a performance condition, which will be deemed satisfied if, on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the grant date, the Company's Common Stock achieves designated per share price targets based on the VWAP of our Common Stock over any 20 consecutive trading day period as reflected on the Nasdaq. The performance condition will be deemed satisfied with respect to the value of one-third of each grant upon achievement of each of $35.00 VWAP, $40.00 VWAP and $45.00 VWAP, respectively. The number of options reported is based on achieving the target performance level.
(2) Mr. Cobb was issued DSEs pursuant to the 2018 Plan for the equity portion of his fees for service as the non-employee Chairman and member of our Board of Directors from fiscal 2018 through June 1, 2022. These shares are fully vested deferred shares that are outstanding in the 2018 Plan, and as fully vested shares are therefore not included on the table above. The DSEs will remain outstanding until issued in accordance with Mr. Cobb's deferral elections which will occur 30 days after he no longer serves on the Company's Board. The following provides information relating to these DSE shares:

The revenue performance goal will be deemed satisfied if the aggregate revenue at the end of the performance period is sufficient to satisfy the revenue performance goal, with applicable earned percentages of 50% (threshold goal), 100% (target goal), 150% (above target goal) and 200% (maximum goal), with linear interpolation to be applied for determining earned percentage between the four performance goals. In the table above, the number and market value of PSUs reported reflect threshold achievement based on the Company's performance as of December 31, 2022. The actual number of PSUs that will be distributed is not yet determinable.
(7) Mr. Tibbens resigned from the Company effective June 30, 2022. As a result of his resignation, all of Mr. Tibbens's then unvested stock options, PSUs and RSUs were immediately forfeited without payment therefor.

(8) Time-vesting stock options that vested and became exercisable as to 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date, and thereafter vest 6.25% quarterly over the next three years on the quarterly anniversary of the grant date, such that all stock options will have vested on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, subject to the terms of the applicable award agreement with the Company.
(9) Time-vesting stock options that vest and become exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning on each anniversary of the original grant date, subject to the terms of the applicable award agreement with the Company.

The revenue performance goal will be deemed satisfied if the aggregate revenue at the end of the performance period is sufficient to satisfy the revenue performance goal, with applicable earned percentages of 50% (threshold goal), 100% (target goal), 150% (above target goal) and 200% (maximum goal), with linear interpolation to be applied for determining earned percentage between the four performance goals. In the table above, the number and market value of PSUs reported reflect threshold achievement based on the Company's performance as of December 31, 2022. The actual number of PSUs that will be distributed is not yet determinable.
(12) PSUs vest according to weighted-average market capitalization ("WAMC") (50%) and revenue (50%) performance targets over a five-year performance period. These performance milestones will be measured quarterly commencing on April 1, 2019 and ending March 31, 2024. The revenue performance milestone will be deemed satisfied if the aggregate revenue of a period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters is sufficient to satisfy the revenue performance goal (representing 50% of the total award); and the WAMC milestone will be deemed satisfied if the WAMC in each of four consecutive fiscal quarters is sufficient to satisfy the WAMC goal (representing 50% of the total award). In the table above, the number and market value of PSUs reported reflect threshold achievement based on the Company's performance as of December 31, 2022.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

# Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following summaries and table describe and quantify the potential payments and benefits that we would provide to our NEOs in connection with their termination of employment and/or change in control of our Company. In determining amounts payable, we have assumed in all cases that the terms of the executive's current employment and equity award agreements with us were in effect on, and the termination of employment and/or change in control occurred on, December 31, 2022.

## Severance Benefits-Employment Arrangements

### Mr. Cobb

Pursuant to Mr. Cobb's employment agreement, if Mr. Cobb's employment is terminated, provided that service as a member of the Board of Directors concurrently terminates prior to the end of the 4-year period beginning on June 1, 2022, without 'cause' by the Company or by him for 'good reason' (in each case, as defined in Mr. Cobb's employment agreement), Mr. Cobb will be entitled to receive: (1) continuation of his salary for a period of 12 months, provided that such payment period shall be for a period of 24 months if the date of termination is prior to January 1, 2024; (2) a lump sum payment equal to his target bonus; (3) reimbursement of COBRA health insurance premiums paid by him for 12 months, provided that such payment period shall be for a period of 18 months if the date of termination is prior to January 1, 2024, following the date of termination; and (4) the bonus that he would have been paid in respect of the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs had his employment not terminated, prorated for the portion of the fiscal year during which he was employed, based on actual performance.

In the event Mr. Cobb's employment is terminated by reason of death or disability, Mr. Cobb (or his executors or legal representatives) will be entitled to receive (1) the bonus that he would have been paid in respect of the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs had his employment not terminated, prorated for the portion of the fiscal year during which he was employed, based on actual performance and (2) payment for any accrued but unused vacation days. On each anniversary after June 1, 2026, Mr. Cobb's term of employment will be automatically extended by one year.

Payments of Mr. Cobb's severance benefits are subject to him signing a general release of claims and continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including confidentiality of information and non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement covenants. The confidentiality covenant has an indefinite term, and the non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement covenants each have terms effective both during the term of his employment and for one year following any termination of employment. In addition, payments and benefits are reduced in connection with a change in control (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the 'Code')) to the highest amount that may be paid to Mr. Cobb without subjecting any payment to the excise tax, so long as he would retain a greater net after-tax payment if the payments are reduced.

### Mr. Tibbens

Mr. Tibbens stepped down from his position as a director on our Board and as the Company's President and CEO on June 1, 2022 and terminated his employment with the Company without good reason on June 30, 2022. Therefore, pursuant to Mr. Tibbens's employment agreement, he was not entitled to receive any severance benefits from the Company upon his resignation.

### Ms. Ross

Pursuant to Ms. Ross' offer letter, unless an executive severance policy is otherwise in effect and applies to Ms. Ross, if Ms. Ross' employment is terminated without 'cause' by the Company or by her for 'good reason' (in each case, as defined in Ms. Ross' Offer Letter), Ms. Ross will be entitled to receive: (i) an amount equal to her annual base salary in effect at the time of her termination; (ii) an amount equal to her annual cash incentive at target, pursuant to the terms of the AIP; (iii) an amount equal to her annual bonus earned with respect to the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which her termination occurs, to the extent not previously paid; *plus* if her termination date occurs on or after June 30 of a calendar year, an amount equal to the pro rata portion of the then-current year's annual cash incentive based on actual Company performance pursuant to the terms of the then AIP and payable at the same time annual incentive awards are generally made to other associates; and (iv) reimbursement of COBRA health insurance premiums paid by her for up to 12 months following the date of termination, provided that if Ms. Ross' employment is terminated without 'cause' by the Company or by her for 'good reason' within the two-year period following a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), the severance benefits described in (i) and (ii) shall be doubled.

Mr. Turcotte did not have an employment agreement with severance arrangements in place at the time of his separation from the Company. On December 1, 2022, Mr. Turcotte entered into a separation and transition agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with the Company setting forth the terms of Mr. Turcotte’s separation from service. In consideration for Mr. Turcotte’s commitments under the Separation Agreement, including for continuing to serve as the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer through December 30, 2022, and as Vice President and Advisor to the CEO through his departure date on March 30, 2023, Mr. Turcotte will receive the following payments subject to his continued compliance with the terms of the Separation Agreement: (i) his current base salary and benefits through December 30, 2022; (ii) a base salary at a rate of $200,000 per year and benefits to which associates holding the title of Vice President are otherwise entitled under the Company’s policies during the period from the December 30, 2022 through March 31, 2023; (iii) an amount equal to the sum of (x) twelve months’ of his current base salary and (y) his target bonus under the Company’s AIP (i.e., 90% of his current base salary), payable in twelve equal monthly installments following his departure date; (iv) his full calendar year 2022 AIP bonus based on the Company’s actual performance under the 2022 AIP; (v) reimbursement of COBRA health insurance premiums paid by him for up to 12 months following the Departure Date; and (vi) outplacement services in accordance with the Company’s outplacement program. Mr. Turcotte’s separation from service is being treated as a termination without “cause” under the Equity Plan and underlying award agreements, and he will not be eligible for an AIP bonus for calendar year 2023.

Consistent with the terms of the award agreements governing Mr. Turcotte’s outstanding equity awards: (i) all unvested stock option, performance stock option and RSU awards held by Mr. Turcotte as of the Departure Date will be forfeited for no consideration; (ii) all vested but unexercised stock options held by Mr. Turcotte as of the Departure Date shall remain exercisable for three months following the Departure Date; (iii) unvested PSUs granted to Mr. Turcotte in 2019 will remain eligible to vest until the determination date in respect of the end of the second fiscal quarter after the Departure Date (i.e., until September 30, 2023); (iv) unvested PSUs granted to Mr. Turcotte in 2021 will be prorated and remain eligible to vest until the third anniversary of the date of grant (i.e., until March 29, 2024); and (v) unvested PSUs granted to Mr. Turcotte in 2022 will be prorated and remain eligible to vest until the third anniversary of the date of grant (i.e., until March 28, 2025).

The Separation Agreement contains customary confidentiality, cooperation and non-disparagement provisions as well as a release of claims between the Company and Mr. Turcotte.

## Mr. Fiarman

Mr. Fiarman’s offer letter provides that if his employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by him for “good reason” (in each case, as defined in his offer letter), Mr. Fiarman will be entitled to receive: (1) an amount equal to 12 times his monthly salary in effect on the date of termination, paid in 12 equal monthly installments; (2) an amount equal to his target bonus during the year of termination, paid in 12 equal monthly installments; (3) if the termination occurs after June 30 of any year, the bonus that he would have been paid in respect of the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs had his employment not terminated, prorated for the portion of the fiscal year during which he was employed, based on actual performance; and (4) payment for any accrued but unused vacation days.

## Equity Awards

### Termination without “Cause” or by Executive for “Good Reason”

If an NEO’s employment is terminated by us without cause or if the executive voluntarily terminates his employment (or in the case of Mr. Cobb, service with the Company) for any reason, all unvested time-based stock options, PSOs and RSUs, as applicable, immediately terminate. Upon such a termination, the NEO may exercise vested stock options and PSOs before the first to occur of (1) the three-month anniversary of the NEO’s termination of employment, (2) the expiration of the awards’ normal term, after which date such award are cancelled, or (3) the cancellation of the award in the event of a change in control in exchange for a cash payment. Unvested PSUs granted to an NEO in 2019 will remain eligible to vest following a termination of the NEO by us without “cause” or by the NEO for “good reason” (in each case as defined in the applicable award agreement) until the earlier of (x) the final determination date with respect to the performance period and (y) the determination date in respect of the end of the second fiscal quarter after such termination occurs. Unvested PSUs granted to an NEO in 2021 and 2022 will be prorated and remain eligible to vest following termination of the NEO by us without “cause” or by the NEO for “good reason” (in each case as defined in the applicable award agreement) until the third anniversary of the date of grant (i.e. until March 29, 2024 and March 28, 2025, respectively).

With respect to RSUs, the portion of unvested RSUs that would vest on the next vesting date following the termination will vest on a pro-rata basis. Unvested PSUs granted to an NEO in 2019 will remain eligible to vest until the end of the performance period based on actual achievement of performance milestones if an NEO's employment terminates by reason of death or disability. Unvested PSUs granted to an NEO in 2021 and 2022 will immediately vest at target (i.e. 100%) following termination of the NEO's employment by reason of death or disability.

Unvested PSOs granted to an NEO in 2022 that have satisfied the service condition one year from the date of grant (i.e. June 1, 2023) shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest if the applicable performance condition is achieved prior to the performance end date (i.e. four years from the date of grant on June 1, 2026), and the post-termination exercise periods shall apply as if termination had occurred on the applicable vesting date instead of the termination date. The vested PSOs shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the termination due to death or disability, (y) the tenth anniversary of the grant date, and (z) the cancellation of the PSOs in the event of a change in control in exchange for a cash payment. None of the 2022 PSOs awarded to the applicable NEOs has satisfied the service condition on the last business day of fiscal 2022.

## Change in Control

Upon a change in control during the performance period, the PSUs granted in 2019 will immediately vest at target (i.e. 100%). Upon a change in control during the performance period, unless an 'alternative award' is provided as determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, PSUs granted in 2021 and 2022 will immediately vest at target (i.e. 100%) or, if the date of the change of control is within 12 months of the performance period end date, shares vesting will be the greater of (i) the target earning percentage for the performance period, and (ii) the projected/actual earning percentage for the performance period as of the date of the change of control. Upon a change in control prior to the fourth anniversary of the grant date (i.e. June 1, 2026), the PSOs granted in 2022 will not accelerate if there is an 'alternative award' as defined in the award documents.

## Termination in Connection with a Change in Control

Pursuant to the 2018 Plan, upon a change in control, no cancellation, acceleration of vesting or other payment shall occur with respect to any stock option, PSO, RSU or PSU (except the 2019 PSUs) if the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors reasonably determines prior to the change in control that the executive shall receive an 'alternative award' meeting the requirements of the plan; provided, however, if within two years following a change in control, the NEO's employment is terminated by us without 'cause' or by the NEO for 'good reason' (in each case as defined in the applicable award agreement), at a time when any portion of the alternative award is unvested, the unvested portion of such alternative award shall immediately vest in full and such executive shall be provided with either cash or marketable stock equal to the fair market value of the stock subject to the alternative award on the date of termination.

## Restrictive Covenants

As a condition of receiving their equity awards granted since 2019, each of Messrs. Tibbens, Turcotte and Fiarman and Ms. Ross in 2022, agreed to certain restrictive covenants, including non-competition, confidentiality and non-solicitation covenants. The non-competition and non-solicitation covenants each have terms effective during the term of the executive's employment with the Company and for one year following any termination of employment; the term of the confidentiality covenant is generally so long as the information remains confidential. In addition, as a condition to receiving his sign-on and annual equity awards, Mr. Cobb agreed in his employment agreement to be subject to these same restrictive covenants, as well as a non-disparagement covenant that is effective during the term of his employment and for one year following any termination of employment.

## Severance Benefits-2023 Executive Severance Policy

In December 2022, the Compensation Committee approved an executive severance policy (the 'Severance Policy'), which became effective as of January 1, 2023, to provide severance benefits to certain eligible executives of the Company, including the NEOs, who experience a termination of employment under certain conditions. Notwithstanding the adoption of the Severance Policy, if at any time the NEO is subject to any existing agreement with the Company

## Executive Compensation Tables

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

providing for severance benefits, the NEO shall be entitled to the better of amounts payable under the Severance Policy or amounts otherwise payable under the existing agreement.

If the NEO's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Severance Policy) or on account of the NEO's resignation from employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Severance Policy) (a "Qualifying Termination"), and such Qualifying Termination is not in connection with a change in control of the Company, the Company will provide the NEO with the following severance payments and benefits subject to the limitations described in the Severance Policy:

- An amount equal to the sum of the NEO's (i) annual base salary and (ii) target annual bonus;
- An amount equal to the NEO's annual bonus earned with respect to the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, to the extent not previously paid;
- If the date of the NEO's Qualifying Termination occurs on or after June 30 of the calendar year of termination, an amount equal to a pro rata portion of the NEO's target annual bonus for such calendar year, based on the number of days employed during such calendar year;
- Reimbursement for monthly premiums payable for elected continued health coverage under the Company-sponsored health plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") for 12 months following the date of the NEO's Qualifying Termination, which reimbursement of premiums will cease upon the date the NEO obtains health care coverage from another employer; and
- Outplacement services as provided by a third party selected by the Company in accordance with the Company's outplacement program, provided, such outplacement services are initiated within 60 days of the date of the NEO's Qualifying Termination.

The non-change in control annual base salary and target annual bonus cash severance payments will be made in substantially equal installments over the 12-month period following the NEO's Qualifying Termination, in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices (unless the Company elects, in its sole discretion, to pay such amount in a lump sum within 30 days following the NEO's Qualifying Termination).

If the NEO's employment is terminated by the Company (i) in connection with a change in control of the Company, or (ii) within two years after the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, the Company will provide the NEO the following severance payments and benefits:

- An amount equal to two (2) times the sum of the NEO's (i) annual base salary and (ii) target annual bonus;
- An amount equal to the NEO's annual bonus earned with respect to the calendar year immediately prior to the year in which the Change of Control Qualifying Termination occurs, to the extent not previously paid;
- If the date of the NEO's Change of Control Qualifying Termination occurs on or after June 30 of the calendar year of termination, an amount equal to a pro rata portion of the NEO's target annual bonus for such calendar year, based on the number of days employed during such calendar year;
- Reimbursement for monthly premiums payable for elected continued health coverage under the Company-sponsored health plans pursuant to COBRA for 18 months following the date of the NEO's Change of Control Qualifying Termination, which reimbursement of premiums will cease upon the date the NEO obtains health care coverage from another employer; and
- Outplacement services as provided by a third party selected by the Company in accordance with the Company's outplacement program, provided, such outplacement services are initiated within 60 days of the date of the NEO's Change in Control Qualifying Termination.

The change-in-control annual base salary and target annual bonus cash severance payments will be made in a lump sum within 30 days following the NEO's Change of Control Qualifying Termination.

Payments to the NEOs are subject to the execution (and non-revocation) of a separation agreement containing a customary general release of claims in favor of the Company, its current and former subsidiaries and affiliates and its current and former employees, officers, directors and agents and, to the extent the NEO is not otherwise subject to the Company's standard restrictive covenant agreement, restrictive covenants that are substantially the same as contained in such standard restrictive covenant agreement.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

## Estimated Payments and Benefits Upon Termination

The following table describes the potential benefits that would have been payable to our NEOs under existing contractual arrangements assuming a termination occurred on December 31, 2022. For Mr. Cobb, it is assumed that his termination from the Company occurred concurrently with his termination of service to our Board of Directors. Mr. Tibbens and Mr. Turcotte are not included in the table below because neither was serving as an NEO on December 31, 2022. For more information on Mr. Tibbens's termination of service, see "-Severance Benefits-Employment Arrangements-Mr. Tibbens" above. For more information on Mr. Turcotte's December 1, 2022 Separation Agreement, see "-Severance Benefits-Employment Arrangements-Mr. Turcotte" above. The amounts shown in the table do not include (1) payments and benefits to the extent they are provided generally to all salaried employees upon termination of employment and do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of the NEOs, or (2) payments for accrued and unused vacation, as our NEOs are no longer eligible for these payments. The amounts reported below related to the acceleration of outstanding equity awards assume a share price equal to $20.80, the closing market price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq on December 30, 2022, the last trading day of fiscal 2022.

## Executive Compensation Tables

### Pay Ratio Disclosure

1. (1) Amounts reported reflect a cash severance payment which includes the following:
   - ● Mr. Cobb: continuation of his salary for 24 months (\$1,650,000) and a lump sum payment equal to his target 2022 bonus (\$990,000).
   - ● Ms. Ross: continuation of her salary for 12 months (\$600,000) and a lump sum payment equal to her target 2022 bonus (\$540,000).
   - ● Mr. Fiarman: continuation of his salary for 12 months (\$515,000) and a lump sum payment equal to his target 2022 bonus (\$309,000).
2. (2) Amounts reported reflect annual bonuses earned based on actual performance that were awarded to Messrs. Cobb and Fiarman, where applicable, for 2022.
3. (3) Amounts reported for Mr. Cobb reflect costs of COBRA health insurance premiums for 18 months assuming 2023 rates. Ms. Ross was not eligible for reimbursement of COBRA health insurance premiums in 2022.
4. (4) Unvested 2019 PSUs granted to Mr. Fiarman will remain eligible to vest until the earlier of (x) the final determination date with respect to the performance period and (y) the determination date in respect of the end of the second fiscal quarter after which such termination occurs. Unvested PSUs granted to Mr. Fiarman will be pro-rated and remain eligible to vest until the end of the performance period (i.e. December 31, 2023) based on actual achievement of performance milestones. Therefore, because there is no acceleration of vesting, values for the 2019, 2021 and 2022 PSU awards, as applicable, are excluded for purposes of calculating this amount. As the NEO will have terminated prior to the one-year anniversary of the applicable grant date, unvested 2022 PSOs will cancel as the NEO did not satisfy the service condition of the award.
5. (5) Mr. Cobb's DSEs with a value on December 31, 2022 of \$640,058 would be distributed within 30 days of his termination from the Company and the Board of Directors.
6. (6) In addition to the amounts reflected, upon death each NEO's estate, other than Ms. Ross who was not eligible for these benefits in 2022, would receive a life insurance payout of \$300,000; and upon disability as defined in the Company's disability benefit plan, Mr. Cobb and Mr. Fiarman, each of whom elected to participate in the plan, would receive \$15,000 per month. Ms. Ross was not eligible to participate in the disability benefit plan until January 1, 2023.
7. (7) Amounts reported reflect the value of the full accelerated vesting of the NEO's outstanding stock option awards and the prorated portion of unvested RSUs, as applicable, that would vest on the next vesting date following a termination by reason of death or disability. The amounts reported reflect the 'spread' value for stock options representing the difference between the applicable exercise price and \$20.80, the closing market price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq on December 30, 2022, the last trading day of fiscal 2022. Unvested PSUs granted to the applicable NEO in 2019 will remain eligible to vest until the end of the performance period based on actual achievement of performance milestones. Therefore, because there is no acceleration of vesting, values for the 2019 PSU awards are excluded for purposes of calculating this amount. Unvested PSUs granted to the NEOs in 2021 and 2022 would immediately vest at target (i.e. 100%).
8. (8) If the Compensation Committee determines that an 'alternative award' (as defined in the 2018 Plan) will not be issued to a participant in place of the Company's 2021 or 2022 PSUs in connection with a change of control, all such PSUs would vest and become immediately payable at target. Amounts reported reflect the full accelerated value of Mr. Fiarman's unvested PSU awards granted in 2019 at target (i.e. 100%) and unvested PSU awards granted in 2021 and 2022 at target (i.e. 100%); and the full accelerated value of Mr. Cobb's unvested PSU award granted in 2022 at target (i.e. 100%). Amounts assume that an alternative award was not provided in connection with a change of control on December 31, 2022.
9. (9) Amounts reported reflect a cash severance payment which includes the following:
   - ● Mr. Cobb: continuation of his salary for 24 months (\$1,650,000) and a lump sum payment equal to his target 2022 bonus (\$990,000).
   - ● Ms. Ross: continuation of her salary for 24 months (\$1,200,000) and a lump sum payment equal to 2 times her target 2022 bonus (\$1,080,000).
   - ● Mr. Fiarman: continuation of his salary for 12 months (\$515,000) paid out in 12 equal installments over a 12-month period, and an amount equal to his target 2022 bonus (\$309,000).
10. (10) Amounts reported reflect the value of the full accelerated vesting of the NEO's outstanding (1) stock option and RSU awards, as applicable, following a termination in connection with a change in control; and (2) 2019 PSUs at target (i.e. 100%) upon a change in control, including a termination in connection with a change in control. Amounts assume that an 'alternative award' (as defined in the 2018 Plan) was not provided with respect to the 2021 or 2022 PSUs upon a change in control, including a termination in connection with a change in control. If the Compensation Committee determines that an alternative award will not be issued to a participant in place of the 2021 or 2022 PSUs, all such PSUs would vest and become immediately payable at target (i.e. 100%). Because the service period was not met for the 2022 PSOs, the outstanding 2022 PSO award would be cancelled upon a termination upon a change in control.

## Pay Ratio Disclosure

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information regarding the ratio of the annual total compensation for our principal executive officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than our principal executive officer) (the 'CEO Pay Ratio'). Our CEO Pay Ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u). However, due to the flexibility afforded by Item 402(u) in calculating the CEO Pay Ratio, our CEO Pay Ratio may not be comparable to the CEO pay ratios presented by other companies.

For purposes of this calculation, our employee population was evaluated as of December 31, 2022 to be 1,660. As is permitted under the SEC rules, to determine our median employee, we used annual salary and bonus earned for 2022 as our consistently applied compensation measure. We annualized this number for those U.S.-based full- and part-time employees, including Mr. Cobb, who did not work the full fiscal 2022 year. We believe this consistently applied compensation measure reasonably reflects annualized compensation across our employee base. Using a determination date of December 31, 2022, we determined our median employee from the employee population included in our calculation.

Our median employee's annual total compensation for fiscal 2022 was $74,664, which includes, among other things, the value of non-discriminatory employer paid health benefits. For fiscal 2022, the annual total

Executive Compensation Tables

Pay Versus Performance

compensation for our CEO, Mr. Cobb, was $5,465,749, which amount varies from his total compensation amount as reflected in the “*Summary Compensation Table*” because it excludes fees paid for his service on the Board of Directors, and includes the value of non-discriminatory employer paid health benefits. Accordingly, our CEO Pay Ratio for fiscal 2022 was 73:1.

## Pay Versus Performance

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain company financial metrics. For further information concerning our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with Company financial performance, refer to “*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*” above.

The following table provides information showing the relationship during fiscal 2020, 2021 and 2022 between (1) compensation “actually paid” (“CAP” as defined by the SEC rule and further described below) to (a) each person serving as our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and (b) our non-PEO NEOs, on an average basis, and (2) the Company’s financial performance based on Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) and Net Income, and the Company-selected metric Revenue. Information in this section will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as we may specifically do so by reference to this section.

The assumptions used were not materially changed from those described in Note 9 but were updated at each valuation date to reflect the then-current value of each variable. The fair value of PSUs was estimated at each valuation date using the market price of our Common Stock on the relevant valuation date and an adjustment to reflect actual performance in any completed performance year and an assumption regarding attainment of the performance goals for the remaining performance period. The following are the details for the compensation actually paid to Mr. Tibbens:

(7) TSR is calculated assuming an investment of $100 at market close on December 31, 2019 through and including the end of the fiscal year for each year reported in the table as required by the rule.

(8) For purposes of this disclosure, the Company used the S&P Professional and Commercial Services Index (the “Index”) as its peer group.

(9) For purposes of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we have identified Revenue as our Company Selected Metric. Although Revenue is one important financial performance measure, among others, that the Compensation Committee considers when making compensation decisions with the intent of aligning compensation with Company performance, the Compensation Committee has not historically and does not currently evaluate “compensation actually paid” as calculated pursuant to Item 402(v)(2) as part of its executive compensation determinations; accordingly, the Compensation Committee does not actually use any financial performance measure specifically to link executive compensation actually paid to Company performance.

## Required Tabular Disclosure of Most Important Measures Linking Compensation Actually Paid During 2022 to Company Performance

SEC rules require that we disclose the most important financial performance measures that the Company uses to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs for 2022 to Company performance. These measures are as follows:

### Financial Measures Linking Compensation to Performance

Revenue

Adjusted EBITDA

Stock Price

For further information about our compensation program and the ways in which compensation actually paid to our NEOs is linked to Company financial performance, as well as the use of the above financial measures in our executive compensation program, see the “*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*” section above.

## Required Disclosure of the Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Financial Performance Measures

SEC rules additionally require that we describe the relationship between the financial performance measures disclosed in the above Pay Versus Performance table to compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average of the executive compensation paid to the non-PEO NEOs. The following graphs further illustrate the relationship between the pay and performance figures that are included in the “*Pay Versus Performance*” table above. In addition, the first graph below further illustrates the relationship between Company TSR and that of the S&P Professional and Commercial Services Index.

# Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

The following table summarizes our equity compensation plan information as of December 31, 2022.

## Equity Compensation Plan Information

| Plan category | Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights (a) | Weighted- average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights (b) | Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a))(c) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Equity compensation plans approved by security holders (1) |  |  |  |
| 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan | 2,936,732 (2) | $32.78 (3) | 10,941,586 (4) |
| 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan | - | N/A | 1,105,770 |
| Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders (1) | - | N/A | - |
| TOTAL | 2,936,732 | $32.78 (3) | 12,047,356 |

(1) We have two active equity compensation plans, both of which have been approved by our stockholders: the 2018 Plan and our ESPP. The ESPP is a tax-qualified Code Section 423 stock purchase plan under which eligible employees are permitted to purchase shares of our Common Stock at a 15% discount.

(2) Consists of 1,188,168 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding time-vesting stock options; 272,503 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding PSOs; 1,087,359 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the settlement of RSUs, and deferred share equivalents, or DSEs; and 388,702 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the vesting of PSUs, awarded under the 2018 Plan. For purposes of this table, the number of shares to be issued in respect of PSUs has been calculated based on the assumption that the maximum level of performance applicable to the PSUs will be achieved (i.e. 100% for the 2019 award and 200% for each of the 2021 and 2022 awards); and the number of shares to be issued in respect of PSOs has been calculated based on the assumption that 100% of the options will vest and become exercisable.

(3) Reflects the weighted-average exercise price of outstanding stock options of $32.78. Does not reflect RSUs or PSUs because these awards have no exercise price.

(4) Consists of shares of our Common Stock available for future issuance under our 2018 Plan, pursuant to various awards the Compensation Committee may make, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, restricted stock, performance-based awards and other equity-based awards. The 2021 and 2022 PSUs at maximum performance would pay out at an additional 158,524 shares not reflected in the total number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.

# Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners, Directors and Management

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of March 1, 2023 (unless otherwise indicated below) by (i) beneficial owners known to us to own more than 5% of our Common Stock, (ii) each of our NEOs, as such term is defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, (iii) each of our directors and (iv) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. As to beneficial owners known to us to own more than 5% of our Common Stock, the information set forth in this table is based solely on our review of filings made by such persons under Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act. Percentage ownership for such beneficial owners is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such persons, as reflected in the most recent filing by such persons of statements of beneficial ownership, by the 81,509,974 shares of our Common Stock outstanding on March 1, 2023. Therefore, the percentage ownership may differ from the percentage ownership reported in such statements of beneficial ownership, which may reflect ownership as of a different date. With respect to each of our directors and NEOs, in computing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person and the percentage ownership of such person, any shares of our Common Stock (i) subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 1, 2023, or (ii) issuable upon the settlement of RSUs and deferred share equivalents held by that person within 60 days of March 1, 2023, are deemed issued and outstanding. These shares, however, are not deemed issued and outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of each other individual stockholder.

Our capital consists of our Common Stock and our preferred stock. The percent of class calculations are based on the 81,509,974 shares of our Common Stock outstanding and zero shares of our preferred stock outstanding as of March 1, 2023. None of the shares held by our directors or executive officers has been pledged as security as of March 1, 2023.

Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes, each of the beneficial owners listed has, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to the indicated shares of Common Stock.

| --- | --- | --- |
| Greater than 5% Stockholders: |  |  |

Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions

## Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy on related person transactions. The policy covers transactions involving us in excess of $120,000 in which any director, director nominee, executive officer or greater than five percent beneficial owner of Frontdoor, or any of their respective immediate family members, has or had a direct or indirect material interest, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the policy.

Under this policy, the General Counsel must advise the Audit Committee of any related person transaction, as defined in the policy, of which the General Counsel becomes aware. The Audit Committee must then either approve or reject the transaction in accordance with the terms of the policy. In the course of making this determination, the Audit Committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances available to it, including, but not limited to, the benefits to the Company; the impact on a director's independence in the event the related person is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, stockholder or executive officer; the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; the terms of the transaction; the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally; whether the transaction would be undertaken in the ordinary course of business; who initiated the transaction; the approximate dollar value of the transaction; and any other information that the Audit Committee or Chair of the Audit Committee considers to be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

You are receiving this Proxy Statement because you owned shares of the Company's Common Stock at the close of business on March 27, 2023, the record date for the 2023 Annual Meeting, which entitles you to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting. By use of a proxy, you can vote whether or not you attend the 2023 Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement describes the matters on which we would like you to vote and provides information on those matters so that you can make an informed decision.

### Is the 2023 Annual Meeting being webcast online?

The 2023 Annual Meeting is being held via an audio webcast to reach the broadest number of stockholders possible while reflecting the technology-enabled nature of our Company and reducing environmental impacts and costs associated with planning, holding and arranging logistics for in-person meeting proceedings. The 2023 Annual Meeting will provide the same rights and advantages of a physical meeting. Stockholders will be able to present questions online during the meeting, providing our stockholders with the opportunity for meaningful engagement with the Company.

### Who is entitled to vote?

As of the close of business on March 27, 2023 (such date and time, the 'Record Date'), there were 81,520,248 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company's Common Stock outstanding. If you are a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner of Common Stock on the Record Date, you are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the 2023 Annual Meeting and at any and all adjournments or postponements of the 2023 Annual Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock you hold as a stockholder of record or as a beneficial owner for each matter presented for vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

### What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., ('Computershare') you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and these proxy materials are being made available directly to you by or on behalf of the Company. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your proxy to the persons named in the enclosed proxy card or to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting. The Company has provided a proxy card for you to use.

If your shares are held in a bank, brokerage or trustee account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being made available to you through your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee.

### How do I participate in the virtual meeting?

To participate in the meeting, you must have your sixteen-digit control number that is shown on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the 'Notice') or on your proxy card if you elected to receive proxy materials by mail.

Instead, the Notice, which was mailed to our stockholders, will instruct you as to how you may access and review the proxy materials on the Internet.

If you would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice. If you vote by Internet or telephone, please do not also mail your proxy card.

## If I am a stockholder of record, how do I vote?

As a stockholder of record, you may vote over the Internet during the 2023 Annual Meeting or by proxy. We recommend that you submit a proxy even if you plan to participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting. This will ensure that your vote will be counted if you are unable to, or later decide not to, participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting. You can revoke your proxy and change your vote during the 2023 Annual Meeting in one of the ways described under “How can I revoke my proxy or change my vote?” in this section of the Proxy Statement.

If you do not wish to vote during the 2023 Annual Meeting, you may vote as follows:

1. Over the Internet: go to www.proxyvote.com;
2. By telephone: call 1-800-690-6903 (toll-free within the United States, U.S. territories and Canada); or
3. By mail: complete, sign and date and promptly mail a paper proxy card, if you have received a paper copy of the proxy materials.

## If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, how do I vote?

As the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you have the right to direct your bank, broker, trustee, or other nominee on how to vote and are also invited to participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting. Your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee is obligated to provide you with voting instructions for use in instructing the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee how to vote these shares.

If you do not wish to vote during the 2023 Annual Meeting, you may vote by providing voting instructions to your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee.

Information about the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Voting

Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record, or beneficially in street name, may be voted by you, while the polls remain open, at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FTDR2023 during the meeting. You will need your control number found in the Notice, or, if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials, on your proxy card or the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials in order to be able to vote and enter the meeting.

Even if you plan to participate in the audio webcast meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to participate in the audio webcast meeting.

## What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

### Stockholders of Record

If you are a stockholder of record and you indicate when voting on the Internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by our Board of Directors, or if you sign and return a paper proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

### Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under exchange rules, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares will inform our Inspector of Election that it does not have the authority to vote on such matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Under current exchange rules, Proposal 1 (Election of Directors) and Proposal 3 (Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation) are considered non-routine matters.

## How can I revoke my proxy or change my vote?

You may revoke your proxy or change your voting instructions before the proposals are voted on at the 2023 Annual Meeting as follows:

### Stockholders of Record

If you are a stockholder of record, by (a) timely voting on the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting will be counted), (b) timely delivering a written revocation or a valid, later-dated proxy to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the address of the Company’s corporate headquarters, or (c) voting over the Internet at the 2023 Annual Meeting (attendance at the 2023 Annual Meeting, by itself, will not itself revoke a proxy).

### Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, by submitting new voting instructions by contacting your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee, or as otherwise provided in the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee.

## How many shares must be present or represented to constitute a quorum for the 2023 Annual Meeting?

The presence in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum. A quorum is necessary in order to conduct business at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker shares that include broker non-votes that are present and entitled to vote are counted for purposes of determining a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Company expects that the 2023 Annual Meeting will be rescheduled for a later date.

Each director nominee shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the 2023 Annual Meeting, meaning that the number of votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the 2023 Annual Meeting 'for' such director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast 'against' such director nominee's election. Neither an abstention nor a broker non-vote will affect the outcome of the election of directors.

### Proposal 2-Ratification of the Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal is required to ratify the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2023. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

### Proposal 3-Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal is required for the non-binding, advisory approval of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. A broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Proposal 3 is an advisory vote and not binding on the Company.

### Other Matters

Any other matters that may properly come before the 2023 Annual Meeting will generally require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal in order to approve any such proposal. If any other matter not discussed in this Proxy Statement properly comes before the 2023 Annual Meeting upon which a vote may be taken, shares represented by all proxies received by the Company will be voted on that matter in accordance with the discretion of the persons named as proxies. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against any such proposal.

## How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares 'FOR' the election of each of the director nominees to the Board of Directors (Proposal 1); 'FOR' the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023 (Proposal 2); and 'FOR' the non-binding, advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 3).

## How are votes counted?

An independent consultant engaged through Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ('Broadridge'), our 2023 Annual Meeting host, will tabulate the vote and act as Inspector of Election. The vote will be certified by the independent Inspector of Election. Except as necessary to meet legal requirements, proxies and ballots that identify the vote of individual stockholders will be kept confidential in cases where stockholders write comments on their proxy cards or in a contested proxy solicitation. During the proxy solicitation period, the Company will receive vote tallies from time to time from the Inspector of Election or Broadridge, but such tallies will provide aggregate figures rather than names of stockholders.

## Other Business

The Board of Directors knows of no other business that will be presented to stockholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting for a vote. If other matters properly come before the 2023 Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote on them in accordance with their discretion.

## Procedures for Submitting Stockholder Proposals

The Company currently intends to hold its next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), in May 2024.

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in the Company’s 2024 proxy statement by submitting their proposals to the Company on or before December 1, 2023. All stockholder proposals requested to be included in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card must also comply with the requirements set forth in the federal securities laws, including Rule 14a-8, in order to be included in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card for the 2024 Annual Meeting.

In addition, the Company’s Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure with regard to certain matters, including nominations of persons for election as directors and stockholder proposals included in the Company’s proxy statement, to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders. In general, notice must be received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that (x) the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 70 days from such anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting or (y) no annual meeting was held during the preceding year, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. To be in proper form, such notice must contain specified information concerning the matters to be brought before such meeting and concerning the stockholder proposing such matters, as described in the Bylaws. Therefore, to be presented at the 2024 Annual Meeting, such a proposal must be received by the Company on or after January 12, 2024 but no later than February 11, 2024. Copies of the Company’s Bylaws may be obtained free of charge by contacting the Corporate Secretary at Frontdoor, Inc., 3400 Players Club Parkway, Ste. 300, Memphis, Tennessee 38125-1731. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the Company’s Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth any additional information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 12, 2024.

All notices of proposals by stockholders, whether or not to be included in the Company’s proxy materials, should be sent to the attention of the Corporate Secretary at Frontdoor, Inc., 3400 Players Club Parkway, Ste. 300, Memphis, Tennessee 38125-1731.

## Stockholders of Record with Multiple Accounts

SEC rules permit a single set of annual reports and proxy statements to be sent to any household at which two or more stockholders reside. Each stockholder continues to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure is referred to as “householding.” While the Company does not household its mailings to its stockholders of record, a number of brokerage firms with account holders who are Company stockholders have instituted householding. Once a stockholder has consented or receives notice from his or her broker that the broker will be householding materials to the stockholder’s address, householding will continue until the stockholder is notified otherwise or until one or more of the stockholders revokes his or her consent.
