Retirement of Chief Accounting Officer; Appointment of Principal Accounting Officer
Jennifer Rock has notified Zillow Group, Inc. (“Zillow” or “the Company”) that she will retire from her position as Zillow’s Chief Accounting Officer and principal accounting officer, effective September 17, 2026. Ms. Rock will remain employed by Zillow in an advisory role through March 1, 2027. Ms. Rock’s decision to retire was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, including accounting principles or practices, or financial disclosures.
In connection with this transition, on September 16, 2026, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Rikki Tremblay as Zillow’s Vice President, Principal Accounting Officer, effective September 17, 2026.
Ms. Tremblay, 41, has served in various roles at Zillow since December 2014. Prior to her appointment as Vice President, Principal Accounting Officer, Ms. Tremblay served as Vice President, Reporting, Technical Accounting and Controls from February 2025 to September 2026. She served as Senior Director, Reporting, Technical Accounting and Controls from February 2023 to February 2025; Senior Director, Financial Reporting and Technical Accounting from February 2019 to February 2023; and in various other financial reporting and accounting leadership positions from December 2014 to February 2019. Prior to joining Zillow, Ms. Tremblay served in various audit roles at Deloitte & Touche LLP from September 2009 to November 2014, most recently as an audit manager. Ms. Tremblay holds two B.A. degrees from the University of Washington and is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in the State of Washington.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Tremblay and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Tremblay was appointed as the Company’s Vice President, Principal Accounting Officer. Ms. Tremblay does not have any family relationship with any director or executive officer of the Company or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer. Other than her employment relationship with the Company as disclosed herein and her compensation and benefits in connection with such employment relationship, there are no transactions in which Ms. Tremblay has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with Ms. Tremblay’s appointment as Vice President, Principal Accounting Officer, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved (1) an increase in her annual base salary to $400,000, effective September 17, 2026, and (2) an equity award under the Zillow Group, Inc. 2020 Incentive Plan in the form of stock options, restricted stock units, or a combination of both, subject to Ms. Tremblay’s election. The equity award will be calculated by dividing $500,000 by the average closing price of Zillow’s Class C capital stock measured over the 20-consecutive trading days prior to September 16, 2026, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The equity award will be granted on September 18, 2026 and will vest over four (4) years in sixteen (16) substantially equal quarterly installments.
Ms. Tremblay will enter into the Company’s standard form indemnification agreement providing contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement and reimbursement to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act, substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 10.9 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K12B filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2015, and incorporated herein by reference.
