ZILLOW GROUP, INC. Director Selection Guidelines The Charter of the Nominating and Governance Committee (the “ Committee ”) of the Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) of Zillow Group, Inc. (the “ Company ”) requires the Committee to develop and periodically review and recommend to the Board appropriate revisions to these Director Selection Guidelines. The following guidelines have been adopted by the Board on the recommendation of the Committee. Director Qualifications When considering potential director candidates for nomination or election, directors should consider the following qualifications, among others, of each director candidate: High standard of personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; Broad training and experience at policy-making levels in business, government and/or education; Experience working with public companies; Willingness and ability to keep an open mind when considering matters affecting interests of the Company and its constituents; Availability and willingness to devote the required time and effort to effectively fulfill the duties and responsibilities related to Board and committee membership; Financial training and/or experience; Commitment and ability to serve on the Board for multiple terms, if nominated and elected, to enable development of a deeper understanding of the Company's business affairs; Willingness not to engage in activities or interests that may create a conflict of interest with a director's responsibilities and duties to the Company and its constituents; and Commitment to act in the best interests of the Company and its constituents, and objectively assess Board, committee and management performances. Board Composition Selection Criteria The Board believes that its effectiveness depends on the overall mix of the skills and characteristics of its directors. Accordingly, the following factors, among others, relating to overall Board composition should be considered when determining Board needs and evaluating director candidates to fill such needs: Diversity (which we broadly construe to include, among other things, age, geography, professional experience, gender, race and ethnicity); Industry knowledge (e.g., relevant industry association participation); Skills and expertise (e.g., accounting or financial); Leadership qualities; Public company board and committee experience; Independence; Non-business-related activities and experience (e.g., academic, civic, public interest); Board continuity (including succession planning); Board size; Number and type of committees, and committee sizes; and Legal and exchange requirements and recommendations, and other corporate governance-related guidance regarding board and committee composition. Selection Procedures Potential director candidates should be referred to the Chair of the Committee for consideration by the Committee and possible recommendation to the Board. The Committee shall maintain a list of director candidates to consider and propose to the Board when appropriate and necessary. If necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Committee, the Committee will determine appropriate means for seeking additional director candidates, including engagement of any outside consultant to assist the Committee in the identification of director candidates. The Committee will consider candidates recommended by shareholders pursuant to the procedures described herein and in the Company’s other governing documents. To recommend director candidates, shareholders should submit their suggestions in writing to the Chair of the Committee, c/o the Corporate Secretary of the Company, providing the candidate’s name, biographical data and other relevant information together with a consent from the suggested candidate to serve on the Company’s Board if nominated and elected. The Committee shall decide on the appropriate means for the review of individual director candidates, including current directors, and the recommendation of director candidates to the Board. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the Chair of the Committee shall initiate the effort to identify appropriate director candidates.
