CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHARTER

Effective May 22, 2024

1. Purpose.

The primary purposes of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Cavco Industries, Inc. (the "Company") are to: (i) advise and counsel the Board and management regarding, and oversee, the Company's governance, including the Board's selection of directors; (ii) develop and recommend to the Board a set of corporate governance guidelines for the Company; and (iii) oversee the evaluation of the Board.

The Committee will primarily fulfill its responsibilities by carrying out the activities enumerated in the Section titled "Duties and Responsibilities" in this Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter (the "Charter"). The Committee will have full access to the Company's executive management and other employees as necessary to effectively carry out its duties and responsibilities.

2. Membership.

The Committee shall consist of at least three (3) directors. The members of the Committee shall satisfy the independence requirements set forth in the corporate governance guidelines and other listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") in effect from time to time (the "NASDAQ Standards").

The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at the Board meeting ("Annual Board Meeting") that is held on approximately the same day as the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company or at such other time as the Board shall determine, and each Committee member shall serve until the date of the next Annual Board Meeting, unless he or she resigns, is removed or replaced by the Board, or otherwise ceases to be a director or a member of the Committee prior to such date, in which event the Board may appoint another director of the Company to fill the resulting vacancy for his or her unexpired term. Furthermore, if for any reason the Board does not elect new members to the Committee at the Annual Board Meeting, the directors who then comprise the Committee will continue to serve as members of the Committee until the Board takes action to elect new members of the Committee. The Board may remove or replace any member from the Committee at any time.

3. Operation.

The Board shall elect one of the members of the Committee to act as chairperson of the Committee (the "Chairperson"). Such member shall act as Chairperson until the next Annual Board Meeting unless prior thereto he or she (x) resigns as Chairperson, (y) is removed or replaced by the Board, or (z) otherwise ceases to be a director or a member of the Committee, in which event the Board shall appoint another member of the Committee to serve as Chairperson for his or her unexpired term. The Chairperson shall preside over all meetings of the Committee. The Board may remove or replace the Chairperson at any time. In addition, the Chairperson shall regularly report to the Board on the Committee's activities.

A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The act of a majority of the members of the Committee in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall constitute the act of the Committee. The Committee shall only act on the affirmative vote of a majority of the members at a meeting at which a quorum (which may be in person or by telephone or other similar communications equipment) is present or by unanimous consent (in writing or by electronic communications). The Committee shall determine its own rules and procedures, subject to this Charter. When appropriate, the Committee shall meet in separate executive sessions with or without management and other employees (or such other individuals deemed appropriate) to discuss matters that warrant Committee attention. The secretary of meetings need not be a member of the Committee and shall attend Committee meetings at the invitation of the Chairperson and prepare minutes. The Committee shall keep written minutes of its own meetings, which shall be recorded or filed with the corporate books and records of the Company. Any member of the Board shall be provided copies of such Committee minutes if so requested.

The Committee shall meet as often as is appropriate but not less than two times annually.

The Committee may, at its sole discretion, engage search firms to be used to identify director candidates and such other independent legal counsel, accountants, and consultants and advisors (collectively, "Other Consultants") as it deems appropriate. Further, the Committee may invite to all or part or any Committee meeting such representatives of search firms and Other Consultants and members of the Board, management, and other persons as the Committee shall deem necessary or appropriate. The Committee shall, when it deems it appropriate, meet with the representatives of such search firms and Other Consultants without any members of management in attendance. The Committee shall also have sole authority to retain and terminate any internal or external legal, accounting, or other advisors retained for advice, opinion, and assistance on any matter addressed in this Charter or deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee, all at the expense of the Company.

To the extent permitted by the NASDAQ Standards and applicable legal requirements, the Committee may form, and delegate specified duties and responsibilities to, a subcommittee or subcommittees created by a vote of a majority of the members of the Committee. Each subcommittee shall consist of one or more Committee members designated by the Committee and shall be governed by such procedures as the Committee shall determine from time to time.
