On January 5, 2026, the Board of Directors of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the "Company") appointed Karl K.

In 2019, Mr. Mistry was named Regional President of the Mid-Atlantic region.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Participation in the Company's fiscal 2026 annual cash incentive bonus plan, with a targeted incentive award of $2,250,000 (with the fiscal 2026 bonus target pro-rated to reflect time spent as Executive Vice President and as CEO);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Participation in the Company's long-term equity incentive award program, with an annual equity award totaling $4,250,000 (with the fiscal 2026 award pro-rated to reflect time spent as Executive Vice President and as CEO), which incentive award has been made under the the Company's 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as previously filed with the SEC) and which reflects the same mix of awards and performance targets and ranges applicable to the Company's current named executive officers, and which are otherwise subject to the Company's normal equity grant practices; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Eligibility to participate in all other regular compensation arrangements for the Company's executive officers, including participation as the "Chief Executive Officer" under the Company's Executive Severance Plan (as previously filed with the SEC) and participation in the Company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (as previously filed with the SEC).

The Company also intends to enter into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Mistry on the Company's standard form for its executive officers, as previously filed with the SEC.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Mistry and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Mistry was selected as an officer, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Mistry and any director or other officer of the Company. Mr. Mistry does not have any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Following his appointment as Executive Chair of the Board, Mr. Yearley is expected to continue to have a significant management role at the Company. Starting in fiscal 2027, he is expected to receive total compensation of $6,600,000, consisting of $1,200,000 of salary, $1,800,000 in targeted cash incentive bonus opportunity and $3,600,000 in long-term equity incentive awards. Certain elements of Mr. Yearley's fiscal 2026 compensation will be pro-rated to reflect time spent in the two separate roles.

His management skills are extraordinary and the breadth of experience he has gained over the past two decades at Toll Brothers has prepared him well for the CEO role. Karl has honed his skills in both strong markets and challenging ones. He has run numerous homebuilding divisions and has overseen our expansion into several major markets. Most recently, he has had responsibility for our Eastern operations across 15 states. With Karl at the helm partnering with our other seasoned leaders and operating teams, the Company's future is in excellent hands, and I am excited to continue to be a part of it in my new role as Executive Chairman."

"I am honored to become the third CEO of Toll Brothers, and I look forward to building on the tremendous foundation and strong legacy that Doug, and Bob Toll before him, have established during the Company's nearly 60 years in business," said Mr. Mistry.
