Pay Versus Performance

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive “Compensation Actually Paid” ​(or “CAP”), as defined by SEC rules, and certain of our financial performance metrics. For further information concerning our variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement.

The dollar amounts reflected in column (c) do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our PEO during the applicable year. For information regarding decisions made by our Compensation Committee with respect to the PEO’s compensation for each fiscal year, please see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement and the proxy statement for the 2023 and 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and the “Executive Compensation Information” section of the proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

Average CAP for our non-PEO NEOs in each of 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 reflects the respective amounts set forth in column (d), adjusted as set forth in the table below, as determined in accordance with SEC rules. The dollar amounts reflected in column (e) do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our non-PEO NEOs during the applicable year. For

Relationship between Pay and Performance. The graphs below reflect (1) the relationship of CAP to our PEO and other Non-PEO NEOs in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 as compared to Green Brick’s TSR, our net income, and our Adjusted EBITDA, and (2) Green Brick’s TSR as compared to the TSR of the TSR Peer Group over the same period.

CAP, as required under SEC rules, reflects adjusted values to unvested and vested equity awards during the years shown in the tables above based on year-end stock prices, various accounting valuation assumptions, and projected performance modifiers but does not reflect actual amounts paid out for those awards. CAP generally fluctuates due to stock price achievement and varying levels of projected and actual achievement of performance goals.
