Green Brick Partners, Inc.

Stockholders are encouraged to carefully review the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement,

which includes executive compensation disclosure and the executive compensation tables. Our executive

compensation programs play a key role in our ability to attract and retain a highly experienced, successful team to

manage our Company and deliver strategic and financial results. We have designed our executive compensation

programs utilizing a pay-for-performance philosophy and primarily compensate our named executive officers

through a combination of base salary, short-term incentives, in the form of discretionary annual cash bonuses, and

long-term incentives, in the form of equity-based compensation. We believe our executive compensation programs

are structured to support our business objectives.

While the vote on executive compensation is non-binding and solely advisory in nature, the Board and the

Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our

executive compensation program.
