The enclosed proxy card is solicited by the Board. Reference is made to the attached proxy statement for further information with respect to the business to be transacted at the Meeting. This proxy statement, our annual report, and the enclosed proxy card are first being sent to stockholders on or about January 31, 2022.25, 2023. The Board requests that you sign, date, and return the enclosed proxy card promptly, although you are cordially invited to attend the Meeting in person.

Please note the admission policy and procedures regarding attendance at the Meeting, which are set forth below.

                                By Order of the Board of Directors,

                                KEVIN J. COEN

January 27, 202225, 2023

The Meeting will be held at the Company’s offices at 1140 Virginia Drive, Fort Washington, Pennsylvania 19034 and will begin promptly at 12:9:00 noon EST.am Eastern standard time. Directions to the Company's offices are available by calling us at (215) 938-8000. You must present a valid photo identification to be admitted to the Meeting. Cameras, recording devices and other electronic devices, and the use of cellular phones, will not be permitted during the Meeting. Representatives will be at the entrance to the Meeting, and these representatives will have the authority, on the Company’s behalf, to determine whether the admission policy and procedures have been followed and whether you will be granted admission to the Meeting.

Attendance at the Meeting is limited to stockholders, who may be "record holders" who own shares directly in their names, or who may hold shares in “street name” through banks, brokerages, or other intermediaries. In addition to photo identification, you must present evidence of ownership as of the Record Date, such as a letter from the bank, broker, or other intermediary confirming ownership, or the relevant portion of a bank or brokerage firm account statement. If you are the authorized representative of an entity that is a beneficial holder, you must present a letter from the entity certifying the beneficial ownership of the entity and your status as an authorized representative.

A summary of certain information in this proxy statement is provided below. Please review the complete proxy statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 20212022 before you vote.

The Record Date fixed by our Board for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting is January 13, 2022.12, 2023. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 119,542,768110,570,747 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding and eligible to vote at the Meeting. We have no other class of voting securities outstanding. At the Meeting, stockholders will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock owned at the close of business on the Record Date. Dissenters' rights are not applicable to any of the matters being voted upon at the Meeting.

The presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, of persons entitled to cast the votes of a majority of such outstanding shares of common stock will constitute a quorum for the proposals expected to be voted on at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes represented by submitted proxies will be included in the calculation of the number of shares present at the Meeting for the purposes of determining a quorum. “Broker non-votes” are shares held of record by a broker that are not voted on a matter because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and lacks the authority to vote the shares in its discretion.

Under the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules, your brokerage firm or other nominee may not vote your shares with respect to Proposals One, Three and ThreeFour without specific instructions from you as to how to vote, because neithernone of these proposals is considered a “routine” matter under the NYSE rules. Proposal Two is considered a “routine” matter, and brokerage firms and nominees that are members of the NYSE are permitted to vote their customers’ shares if the customers have not furnished voting instructions prior to the Meeting. In determining whether each Proposal receives the requisite number of affirmative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered "votes cast" and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of such proposals.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

Our Board believes that it is necessary for our directors to possess many diverse qualities and skills. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Governance Committee") is charged with identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Directors consistent with criteria approved by the Board. In selecting, or in recommending the selection of, nominees for directors, the Governance Committee considers the evolving needs of our Board, as well as applicable legal and NYSE requirements, including, when appropriate, those applicable to membership on the Audit and Risk Committee and the Executive Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee"), as well as other criteria it deems appropriate.

The Governance Committee will consider candidates nominated by stockholders, directors, officers and other sources. Stockholders wishing to recommend a prospective candidate for membership on the Board should follow the procedures described under "Procedures for Recommending Candidates for Nomination to the Board of Directors" on page 68.64. At a minimum, candidates must possess a background that includes a strong education, extensive business experience, and the requisite judgment, background, reputation, character, integrity, skills and temperament, which, in the view of the Governance Committee, have prepared them for dealing with the multi-faceted financial, business, governance, and other issues that confront a board of directors of a corporation with the size, complexity, reputation, and success of the Company. When evaluating director candidates, the Governance Committee first considers a candidate’s business experience and then considers other factors, including that candidate’s background, reputation, character, integrity, skills, temperament and other personal characteristics, including whether the candidate would add to the Board's diversity.

The Governance Committee continually assesses the composition of the Board, including through a review of Board size, the skills and qualifications represented on the Board, and director tenure. In its review of the skills and qualifications of each director, the Governance Committee considers the characteristics that it believes should be represented on the Board as well as on each Committee of the Board.

The findings of the Governance Committee's annual review of Board composition are reported to and discussed with the full Board. Based on its evaluation, the Governance Committee may recommend an increase or decrease in the size of the Board or changes in the composition of the Board to best reflect the objectives and needs of the Company and the desired skill sets of the directors. Similarly, the Governance Committee establishes processes for developing and recruiting candidates for Board membership and conducting searches for Board candidates.

As part of its annual review of Board composition, the Governance Committee considers director age and tenure, as well as the diversity of the Board. The Governance Committee seeks to ensure an appropriate mix of age and tenure of the directors, taking into account the benefits of directors with longer tenures, including greater board stability, continuity of organizational knowledge and experience gained through prior real estate cycles, and the benefits of directors with shorter tenures, including fresh perspectives and viewpoints. Our Board views diversity in a broad sense, taking into consideration not only racial, ethnic and gender diversity, but also the mix of qualifications and personal characteristics of our existing directors including age, tenure, experience levels and types of experience, including both industry and subject matter expertise. Although we do not have a separate policy specifically governing diversity, when considering board candidates, the Governance Committee considers whether an individual would bring a diverse viewpoint to the Board, which includes a candidate’s gender, race and ethnicity. To assist in its review, the Chair of the Governance Committee periodically conducts individual meetings with the independent directors to discuss Board composition and determine whether each such director's future plans may assist the Governance Committee in its consideration of the issue of director tenure.

Our Lead Independent Director (who also is the Chair of the Governance Committee) leads the annual Board self-evaluation process to review the effectiveness of the Board and each of its committees and to identify any opportunities for improvement. As part of this process, the Lead Independent Director receives feedback from each director regarding Board and committee composition, Board practices, Board accountability, and director standards of conduct. The Lead Independent Director presides over the discussion with the Board to review this information and to identify any areas for improvement. The Board believes that, through its annual review of Board composition and the nomination process, coupled with its annual self-evaluation procedure and refreshment process, the Board will continue to evolve and meet the current and future needs of the Company. As illustrated below, in recent years, the Governance Committee and the Board have focused a great deal of attention on renewing and refreshing the perspectives, skills and backgrounds that are represented on the Board.

Set forth below is biographical information about our director nominees.

Each director nominee is elected by a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting.

As part of its oversight of the Company’s relationship with our independent auditors, the Audit and Risk Committee (the "Audit Committee") reviews annually our independent auditors’ qualifications, performance, and independence. Based on the results of this review, the Audit Committee re-appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2022.2023. Ratification is being sought at the Meeting in a non-binding vote of stockholders. Although ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to our stockholders for ratification because we value our stockholders' views on the Company’s independent auditors. Ernst & Young LLP has served as our independent auditor since 1983, and we believe that the continued retention of Ernst & Young LLP is in the best interests of the Company. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered notice to the Board and Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm.

A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at the Meeting, will be afforded the opportunity to make a statement, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. We have been advised by Ernst & Young LLP that neither the firm, nor any member of the firm, has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in any capacity in us or our subsidiaries.

The Audit Committee meets and agrees upon the annual audit fee directly with our independent auditors. The Audit Committee also establishes pre-approved limits for which our management may engage our independent auditors for specified services. Any work that exceeds these pre-approved limits for the specified services in a quarter requires the advance approval of the Audit Committee. Each quarter the Audit Committee reviews the matters worked on by the independent auditors during the previous quarter and establishes any pre-approved limits for the current quarter. The Audit Committee also reviewedreviews and approvedapproves the compatibility of any proposed non-audit services, including tax services, with Ernst & Young LLP’s independence. The Audit Committee reviewed and pre-approved the services provided by Ernst & Young LLP and approved the fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP for all services for fiscal 2021.2022.

To be approved, this proposal must receive an affirmative majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Meeting.

Our executive compensation program has consistently received strong support from our stockholders. We conduct an annual outreach to our largest stockholders to receive feedback regarding our executive compensation program. The results of our Say on Pay votes held over the past five years are as follows:

We conduct an annual outreach to our largest stockholders and proxy advisory firms to receive feedback regarding, among other matters, our executive compensation program. During fiscal 20212022 and 2022, this effort included access to both management and, in certain instances, our Compensation Committee chair, in order to better understand stockholder and other constituent views. We2023, we solicited feedback from investors representing well over half of our outstanding shares. We value our stockholders' perspective on our business and are committed to continuing the constructive dialogue that we have established with our stockholders in recent years.

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which describe the Board’s views on a number of governance topics. The guidelines are posted on our website at www.tollbrothers.com under “Investor Relations: Corporate Governance.”

In fiscal 2018, Mr. Robert I. Toll, our co-founder and former CEO, stepped down from his role as Executive ChairmanUnder the Company's bylaws, the Board selects its Chair in the manner it determines to be in the best interest of the Board. In connection with Mr. Toll's resignation, upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee, the Board appointedCompany. Mr. Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., a Board member and our CEO since June 2010, is Chairman of the Board. In choosing to combine the Chairman and CEO role under Mr. Yearley, the Board considered Mr. Yearley's in-depth knowledge of the home building industry generally and his thorough understanding of the Company's operations and the risks it faces; his long tenure with the Company and on the Board; the composition of the Board and the tenure of its members; and the Company's strong governance structure, including a strong Lead Independent Director and well-functioning Board committees composed entirely of independent directors. The Board also considered that combining the roles of Chairman and CEO would provide a clear leadership structure for our management team while allowing Mr. Yearley to continue serving as a vital link between management and the Board. This structure allows the Board to perform its oversight role with the benefit of management's perspective on our business strategy and all other aspects of the business.

As Chairman and CEO, Mr. Yearley is responsible for our day-to-day operations and for formulating and executing our long-term strategies in collaboration with the Board. Mr. Yearley collaborates with Mr. Paul Shapiro, who has served as our Lead Independent Director since March 2021, in developing Board schedules and agendas. The Lead Independent Director helps ensure that there is an appropriate balance between management and the non-executive directors and that the non-executive directors are fully informed and able to discuss and contribute to the issues that they deem important. The role of the Lead Independent Director includes:

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct which applies to all employees and vendors, as well as a Code of Ethics for Members of the Board of Directors. These codes of ethics are available on our website at www.tollbrothers.com under “Investor Relations: Corporate Governance.” The Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing any proposed changes to these documents.

Under the NYSE rules and the standards adopted by the Board, a director is not “independent” unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. In addition, the director must meet the requirements for independence set forth by the NYSE rules.

The Board has established categorical standards of director independence to assist it in making independence determinations. These standards, which are described below, set forth certain relationships between us and the directors, and their immediate family members or entities with which they are affiliated, that the Board, in its judgment, has determined to be material in assessing a director’s independence. The standards applied by the Board in affirmatively determining whether a director is “independent” provide that a director is not independent if:

The Board annually reviews the independence of all directors. The Board, in applying the above-referenced standards, has affirmatively determined that all of our director nominees, other than Mr. Yearley, are independent. As part of the Board’s process in making such determination, the Board determined that all of the above-cited objective criteria for independence are satisfied, and that no independent director has any material relationship with us that could interfere with his or her ability to exercise independent judgment.

None of the members who served on the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended October 31, 20212022 has ever been an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries. None of the members has any relationship required to be disclosed under this caption under the rules of the SEC.

Any person who wishes to communicate with the Board or specific individual directors, including the Lead Independent Director or the independent directors as a group, may do so by directing a written request addressed to such directors or director in care of the Corporate Secretary, Toll Brothers, Inc., at 1140 Virginia Drive, Fort Washington, Pennsylvania 19034. In accordance with instructions from the Board, the Corporate Secretary reviews all correspondence, organizes the communications for review by the Board and forwards communications to the full Board or individual directors, as appropriate. The Company's independent directors have requested that certain items that are unrelated to the Board's duties, such as spam, junk mail, mass mailings, and solicitation and job inquiries, not be forwarded. Communications that are intended specifically for the Lead Independent Director, or any other independent director, should be sent to the street address noted above to the attention of the Corporate Secretary.

ESG Oversight

Executive Summary

We believe these outcomes demonstrate a strong link between Company performance, the compensation earned by our CEO in fiscal 20212022 and returns experienced by our stockholders over time.

Description of Our Executive Compensation Program

Our executive compensation program is designed to incentivize our NEOs to improve performance and manage risk over the short- and long-term and align the interests of our NEOs with our stockholders.

As described above, nearly two-thirdsapproximately 62% of our CEO's annual targeted TDC in fiscal 20212022 was in the form of performance-based awards. Performance was measured under these awards based on the metrics described in the table below.

We face competition for talent from many other home builders in the markets in which we operate. It is vital to our success and long-term viability that our business continues to be managed by highly experienced, focused, and capable executives who possess the experience and vision to anticipate and respond to market developments. The Compensation Committee’s primary objectives in setting compensation for our NEOs are:

Our executive compensation program has consistently received strong support from our stockholders. See "Proposal Three—Advisory and Non-Binding Vote on Executive Compensation (Say on Pay)" on page 15 for the results of our annual Say on Pay votes held in the past five years. We conduct an annual outreach to our largest stockholders and proxy advisory firms to receive feedback regarding our executive compensation program.  During fiscal 2021 and 2022, this effort included access to both management and, in certain instances, our Compensation Committee chair, in order to better understand stockholder and other constituent views. Among other matters, we obtained feedback on the executive compensation design changes described below. 

At our 20212022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, 98%96% of stockholders voting on our Say on Pay proposal voted in support of the compensation of our NEOs. The Compensation Committee viewed the results of our 20212022 Say on Pay vote as an affirmation by our stockholders of the Company's executive compensation program.

The Compensation Committee continually assesses the effectiveness of our executive compensation program and from time to time makes changes - taking into account the business environment in which the Company operates and othermarket factors impacting the Company, developments in pay practices, discussions with stockholders and other factors it deems appropriate.

Base Salary

When establishing annual base salaries, the Compensation Committee takes into account each NEO’s performance, considering their role and responsibilities and to the extent useful, the range of compensation of comparable executives within our primary peer group. The Compensation Committee believes that its compensation objectives are more effectively met when most of an executive’s compensation package is composed of at-risk performance-based annual incentive bonuses and long-term incentive compensation, rather than fixed compensation such as base salaries.

Incentive Awards

The design and structure of our long-term incentive compensation program is reviewed annually to ensure that it isremains appropriate forto drive the sizeoperational and scopestrategic actions deemed by the Compensation Committee to be key to the long-term success of the Company. In fiscal 2021,2022, the Compensation Committee awarded equity compensation to the NEOs in the form of RSUs and PRSUs based on a fixed-dollar approach. For awards granted in fiscal 20212022 to each NEO, the mix of equity awards was fixed at 50% RSUs and 50% PRSUs. Based on the Compensation Committee's review of the fiscal year 20202021 performance of each executive and a review of each executive's equity grants relative to peers, for fiscal 2021,2022, the Compensation Committee approved increases in the targeted grant date value of equity awards (disregarding the impact of a liquidityan illiquidity discount for post-vesting transfer restrictions applicable to retirement eligible employees) for each of Messrs. Yearley, Boyd and Parahus.

As it has done in the past, for fiscal 2021,2022, the Compensation Committee continued to include a one-year performance period for awards of Ops PRSUs, although the awards generally vest on a pro-rata basis over four years and shares underlying the award are delivered at the end of such period, subject to continued service. The Compensation Committee believes that a one-year performance period is appropriate for these awards due to the highly cyclical nature of the residential home building industry and the challenges inherent in making long-term forecasts. A one-year performance period also provides executives a clear line of sight linking pay and performance. ROE PRSUs vest and shares underlying such awards are delivered at the end of the three-year performance period.

In fiscal 2021,2022, all equity awards for our NEOs, and substantially all those for other employees and our non-executive directors, were granted on December 21, 2020.20, 2021. By practice, the grant date selected for our annual equity award is in the last 15 days of December, which follows our release of fourth quarter and full year earnings (generally in the first week of December). The specific date that is chosen is a date on which we believe it is unlikely that data will be released that will significantly impact the home building industry.

In fiscal 2021,2022, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of PRSUs to each NEO of PRSUs consisting of Ops PRSUs (2/3 of the award), and ROE PRSUs (1/3 of the award).

Ops PRSUs are designed to align NEO compensation with the achievement of pre-established growth and profitability goals and accomplish this through the following operational performance metrics.

All PRSUs earn dividend equivalents at the same time and in the same amount as dividends paid on the Company’s common stock; dividend equivalents are subject to the same vesting, settlement, and other terms and conditions as the PRSUs to which the dividend equivalents relate. Shares subject to PRSUs held by an NEO fully vest and all restrictions immediately lapse upon an NEO’s termination of employment due to death or disability. In addition, all shares subject to PRSUs granted prior to December 2019 fully vest and all restrictions lapse upon a change of control of the Company. Starting with awards grantedgrants in December 2019, PRSUs will vest in connection with a change of control of the Company only if there is an actual or constructive termination of the executive (i.e., a "double trigger") within the time periods set forth in the applicable award agreement. Awards granted betweenprior to December 2016 and November 2019 will continue to vest upon qualified retirement at age 62 following ten years of service. Starting in December 2019, retirement is defined as a voluntary resignation after achieving either (i) age fifty-eight58 and ten years of service or (ii) age sixty-two62 and five years of service, and an award will continue to vest upon such a qualifying retirement. All vested and unvested PRSUs are subject to forfeiture in the event that, after the NEO retires or otherwise leaves the Company, the NEO breaches certain post-termination covenants. See “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control” on page 58.

All RSUs earn dividend equivalents at the same time and in the same amount as dividends paid on the Company’s common stock; dividend equivalents are subject to the same vesting, settlement, and other terms and conditions as the RSUs to which the dividend equivalents relate. RSUs granted to our NEOs generally vest in equal annual installments over a four-year period beginning on or about the first anniversary of the grant date. Although the awards vest over a four-year period, shares underlying vested RSUs generally are not delivered until the fourth anniversary of the grant date. For RSUs granted prior to December 2019, inIn the event of an executive's death, disability orqualifying retirement, after age 62 with at least ten years of service, RSUs will continue to vest following such event. Starting in December 2019, retirementwhich is defined as a voluntary resignation after achieving either (i) age 58 and ten years of service or (ii) age 62 and five years of service, and an RSU willRSUs continue to vest upon such a qualifying retirement.and are delivered in accordance with the normal schedule. Upon the death or disability of an executive, all RSUs granted prior to December 2019 generallyare immediately vested and delivered. RSUs will vest upon the occurrence ofin connection with a change of control of the Company while RSUs granted ononly if there is an actual or after December 2019 areconstructive termination of the executive (i.e., a "double trigger" as described above.) within the time periods set forth in the applicable award agreement. All vested and unvested RSUs granted to NEOs are subject to forfeiture in the event that, after the NEO retires or otherwise leaves the Company, the NEO breaches certain post-termination covenants. See “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control” on page 58.

The Compensation Committee reviews and determines base salary, annual incentive bonuses, and long-term incentive compensation, as well as benefits and perquisites, on an annual basis. For compensation relating to fiscal 2021,2022, the primary steps taken by the Compensation Committee to establish and award compensation to our NEOs were as follows:

The Compensation Committee worked with management to establish its meeting agendas and determine meeting participants. Throughout the year, the Compensation Committee requested information from management and the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, including information about projected results for fiscal 20212022 and the compensation practices and financial performance of other companies in the home building and other industries. Our CEO and Chief Financial Officer attended certain meetings of the Compensation Committee in order to provide information and answer questions regarding the Company’s strategic objectives, financial performance and, in the case of the CEO, to provide input on the performance of the other NEOs during the year. Our other NEOs were also available to Compensation Committee members and to attend Compensation Committee meetings upon request. Our CEO submitted recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding salary, bonus, equity compensation, and overall compensation levels for the other NEOs for both fiscal 20212022 and fiscal 2022.2023. The Compensation Committee, after consideration of all of these inputs, determined actual compensation levels for each NEO.

The Compensation Committee engaged Compensation Advisory Partners LLC (“CAP”) to serve as its independent compensation consultant for fiscal 2021.2022. CAP received instructions from, and reported to, the Compensation Committee on an independent basis.

The Compensation Committee requested CAP’s advice on a variety of matters, such as the amount and form of executive compensation, compensation strategy, market comparisons, pay and performance alignment versus industry peers, compensation levels for peers, executive pay trends, (including with respect to performance metrics based on ESG factors), compensation best practices, compensation-related regulatory developments, and potential compensation plan designs and modifications. The Compensation Committee consulted with CAP, both with and without management, on several occasions during fiscal 2021,2022, and also in early fiscal 20222023 with respect to compensation decisions for fiscal 20212022 performance. During fiscal 2021,2022, CAP did not provide any services to the Company or its affiliates other than advising on executive compensation, as approved by the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee conducts a formal evaluation of the independence of CAP annually in the first quarter of the fiscal year. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee did not identify any conflict of interest raised by the work CAP performed in fiscal 2021.2022. When conducting this evaluation, the Compensation Committee took into consideration the factors set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the NYSE’s listing standards.

Although the Compensation Committee does not believe that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels based solely on market comparisons or industry practices, it believes that information regarding pay practices at other companies is useful in three respects. First, marketplace information is one of many factors considered in assessing the reasonableness of compensation. Second, our compensation practices must be generally competitive for executive talent in the home building industry and in the overall market. Third, marketplace information reflects emerging and changing components and forms of compensation. While the Compensation Committee considers peer

We provide all of our employees, including our NEOs, with specified employee benefits programs. These include the opportunity to save for retirement through the Toll Brothers 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) and various health and welfare benefit programs, including medical, dental, life insurance, and long-term disability insurance. These programs are intended to promote the health and financial security of our employees and are provided at competitive market levels to attract, retain, and reward employees. We share the cost of these programs with our employees and our NEOs participate in these programs on the same terms as our other employees.

The 401(k) Plan is a qualified retirement savings plan under the tax code. Participants in the 401(k) Plan may contribute a portion of their compensation, subject to IRS regulations and specified limitations applicable to “highly compensated employees,” as such term is defined in the tax code. We match a portion of each participant’s contribution and, in certain years, also made discretionary contributions to each active participant’s account. All of the NEOs were participants in the 401(k) Plan during fiscal 2021.2022.

We also maintain a SERP, which provides retirement benefits to our NEOs. The SERP is intended to provide competitive retirement benefits, to protect against reductions in retirement benefits due to tax law limitations on qualified plans, and to encourage continued employment or service with the Company. For a discussion of the material terms of the SERP, see “Pension Benefits During Fiscal 2021—2022—Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan” on page 56.53.

The Compensation Committee did not increase the SERP annual benefit payment amounts to our NEOs in fiscal 2021. However, inIn connection with Mr. Parahus' promotion to the role of sole President and Chief Operating Officer, his annual benefit under the SERP was increased to $145,000 in November 2021. No changes were made to the annual benefit for Messrs. Connor or Yearley. The annual benefit amounts tofor our NEOs under the SERP as of the end of fiscal 20212022 are set forth in the table under “Pension Benefits During Fiscal 2021—2022—Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan” on page 56.53.

The Company maintains the Toll Brothers, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the "Severance Plan"), which provides certain cash severance benefits to eligible employees of the Company who experience a “covered termination” of employment, both in the context of a “change of control” transaction and otherwise. A “covered termination” under the Severance Plan means a participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or the participant resigns with “good reason,” in each case as described below, and subject to the limitations described therein.

Under the terms of the Severance Plan, “Cause” includes a participant’s (i) substantial failure or refusal to perform the duties or responsibilities of his job, (ii) material violation of any fiduciary duty, (iii) conviction of (including a plea of nolo contendere) a felony, (iv) conviction of (including a plea of nolo contendere) a misdemeanor which involves dishonesty, fraud or morally repugnant behavior, (v) dishonesty, (vi) theft, (vii) material violation of Company rules or policy, or (viii) other egregious or morally repugnant conduct that has, or could have, a serious and detrimental impact on the Company. “Good Reason” includes (i) a material diminution in the participant’s authorities, duties, job responsibilities, status or reporting relationships, (ii) (A) a reduction in base salary or target bonus opportunity, (B) failure to pay base salary or the applicable bonus when due, or (C) for the two-year period following a change of control, a reduction in equity compensation opportunity, (iii) the relocation of the principal place of employment by more than fifty miles, (iv) the material breach of an existing agreement between the participant and the Company, or (v) the failure of any purchaser to assume any agreement between the participant and the Company.

If a participant, including each of our NEOs, experiences a “covered termination” not in connection with a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Severance Plan), the Company will provide certain severance payments and benefits, subject to the participant’s continued compliance with the Non-Interference Agreement, as described below, and the execution and non-revocation of a release of claims. For our NEOs, these payments and benefits are as follows: (i) an amount equal to 1.5 times (2.0 times for the CEO) the sum of the participant’s annual base salary and target annual incentive bonus, (ii) a prorated annual incentive bonus for the year of termination of employment based on actual performance, (iii) an amount equal to 18 months (24 months for the CEO) of the participant’s monthly COBRA premium for continued health insurance coverage, and (iv) reasonable outplacement services for a period corresponding to the time period that is the lesser of (x) 18 months (24 months for the CEO) and (y) the period beginning on the date of the covered termination and ending on the two-year anniversary of the covered termination.

If a participant experiences a “covered termination” within two years after the occurrence of a change of control of the Company or within six months prior to a change of control of the Company, and such termination is reasonably demonstrated to be in connection with or in anticipation of a change of control or is at the request of a third party who has reasonably calculated or intended to effect a change of control of the Company, the Company will provide the participant with certain severance payments and benefits, subject to his or her continued compliance with the Non-Interference Agreement and the execution and non-revocation of a release of claims. For our continuing NEOs, these payments and benefits are as follows: (i) an amount equal to 2.0 times (2.5 times for the CEO) the sum of the participant’s annual base salary and target annual incentive bonus, (ii) a prorated target annual incentive bonus for the year of termination of employment, (iii) an amount equal to 24 months (30 months for the CEO) of the participant’s monthly COBRA premium for continued health insurance coverage, and (iv) reasonable outplacement services for a period equal to the lesser of (x) 24 months (30 months for the CEO) or (y) the period beginning on the date of the covered termination and ending on the two-year anniversary of the covered termination.

The severance benefits available to our NEOs under the Severance Plan as of the end of fiscal 20212022 are set forth in the tables under “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control” beginning on page 60.57.

The Company maintains the Toll Bros., Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan” or "DCP"), which was designed to enable certain management and highly compensated employees, including our NEOs, to defer a portion of their annual cash compensation. The Deferred Compensation Plan was frozen with respect to compensation earned after December 31, 2011. However, in December 2014, the Company amended and restated the Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended, the "2015 Plan") to enable employees to defer a portion of their annual cash compensation starting on January 1, 2015. Messrs. Yearley, Connor and Parahus were participants in the 2015 Plan during fiscal 2021.2022.

Interest earned during fiscal 20212022 on NEO deferred compensation that is considered above-market interest under SEC rules is included in the amount reported under “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” in the Summary Compensation Table on page 51,48, and further information about NEO deferred compensation is contained in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation During Fiscal 20212022 table on page 57.54.

Perquisites, which included auto and gas allowances, insurance, and tax and financial statement preparation assistance, as more fully described in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table on page 51,48, did not constitute a material portion of the compensation paid to our NEOs compensation for fiscal 2021.2022. We provide our NEOs with limited perquisites and personal benefits that the Compensation Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with our executive compensation philosophy and objectives, and we do not provide tax gross ups on perquisites. Each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves those perquisites that are provided to our NEOs.

We employ our NEOs at will and do not have individualized employment agreements. As described above, we maintain a Severance Plan that provides for cash severance payments and other benefits to certain eligible employees of the Company, including our NEOs, who experience a termination of employment under certain conditions. For a description of the severance benefits available under the Severance Plan to our NEOs, see "Benefits and Perquisites - Executive Severance Plan" on page 4543 and "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control" beginning on page 58.55.

In addition, our outstanding equity award agreements and the SERP include provisions relating to the occurrence of a change of control of the Company. Under our Omnibus Incentive Plan, if there is a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan), outstanding stock options and RSUs (in each case awarded prior to December 2019), deferred cash, or other plan awards will generally immediately vest, and any applicable restrictions will immediately lapse. Equity awards granted in December 2019 and thereafter are subject to "double trigger" accelerated vesting as described above. Under the SERP, if there is a change of control of the Company (as defined under the SERP), all participants become fully vested in their

Executive officers and directors are expected to achieve compliance with these levels of ownership within five years from the date he or she assumes the position of executive officer or director, and may not sell net shares of stock received upon the exercise of stock options (that is, shares other than those sold to pay withholding taxes, brokerage fees, and the exercise price) or shares of stock received upon vesting of other equity awards, unless and until he or she has met these required levels of ownership. In connection with any increase to the Guidelines, executive officers and directors are given additional time commensurate with the increase in the multiple applicable to him or her to achieve compliance with the increased Guidelines.

On an annual basis, the Governance Committee reviews adherence to the Guidelines. For purposes of the Guidelines, the following are included as “owned”:

We have an insider trading policy that sets forth guidelines and restrictions applicable to employees’ transactions involving our stock. Among other things, this policy prohibits our employees from engaging in puts, calls, or similar options on our stock or in any derivative equity securities of the Company, or selling our stock short. In addition, this policy prohibits executive officers and directors from entering into hedging arrangements with respect to our equity securities that are designed to offset or reduce the risk of price fluctuations in the underlying security (such as covered calls, collars, or other transactions that sever the ultimate alignment with our stockholders’ interests).

We have a pledging policy that prohibits any pledging of the Company’s equity securities by executive officers and directors, with an exception for the Company's founder, Mr. Robert I. Toll, given his substantial ownership of the Company’s equity securities.

In January 2017, the Board adopted a policy regarding the recoupment of incentive compensation from executives in specified situations involving fraud or intentional misconduct. The policy provides that, subject to the discretion and approval of the Board, the Company will, to the extent permitted by governing law, in all appropriate cases as determined by the Board, require reimbursement and/or cancellation of any cash bonus or other incentive compensation subject to the policy, including vested and unvested stock-based compensation, awarded to an executive officer where all of the following factors are present: (a) the award was predicated upon the achievement of specified financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement, (b) in the Board’s view, the executive engaged in fraud or intentional misconduct that was a substantial contributing cause to the need for the restatement, and (c) a lower award would have been made to the executive based upon the restated financial results. Under this policy, the Board may seek to recover payments of incentive compensation if the financial results leading to the award of incentive compensation are subsequently the subject of a restatement. The Board may use its judgment in determining the amount to be recovered where the incentive compensation was awarded on a discretionary basis.

The Board intends to review and update the Company's clawback policy upon the finalization of applicable SEC rules.and NYSE rules regarding recoupment of incentive compensation.

For equity compensation grants, ASC 718 requires us to recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment arrangements based upon the grant date fair value of those awards and period of vesting. The aggregate expense estimated to be recognized over the period of vesting is included in the Summary Compensation Table contained in this proxy statement as part of the NEOs’ total compensation in the fiscal year of the grant. This number, while required by the SEC rules and important for understanding the impact of granting equity on our financial statements, does not represent the value ultimately realized by the NEO.
