    INTRODUCTION

    This Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Schedule 13E-3” or this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”), jointly by: (i) Mister Car Wash, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), (ii) Mister Car Wash Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Borrower”), (iii) MCW Parent, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent”), (iv) Boson Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), (v) Green Equity Investors VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“GEI VI”), (vi) Green Equity Investors Side VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“GEI Side VI”), (vii) LGP Associates VI-A LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Associates VI-A”), (viii) LGP Associates VI-B LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Associates VI-B” and, together with GEI VI, GEI Side VI and Associates VI-A, the “Principal Stockholders”), (ix) GEI Capital VI, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Capital VI”), (x) Peridot Coinvest Manager LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Peridot”), (xi) LGP Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LGPM”), and (xii) Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“LGP” and, together with Parent, Merger Sub, the Principal Stockholders, Capital VI, Peridot and LGPM, the “LGP Filing Persons”). The Company, Borrower, and the LGP Filing Persons are referred to collectively as the “Filing Persons.”

    This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 17, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and, solely for purposes of the Borrower Provisions (as defined in the Merger Agreement), Borrower. The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are more fully described in the information statement (the “Information Statement”) filed by the Company with the SEC under Regulation 14C of the Exchange Act concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement.

    At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock described in clauses (ii) or (iii) of this sentence) will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount per share equal to $7.00, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Price”), (ii) each share of Company Common Stock that is (a) held by the Company as treasury stock or (b) owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the shares of Company Common Stock held by the Principal Stockholders and the shares contributed to Parent by Company executives who execute a Management Rollover Agreement (as defined below), if any, will automatically be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor, and (iii) each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held of record by any stockholder of the Company (or beneficially owned by a “beneficial owner” of shares of Company Common Stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of the beneficial owner) who has not voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly and validly exercised his, her or its statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such share in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”, and such shares, “Dissenting Company Shares”) will not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Per Share Price, and will instead be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. All Dissenting Company Shares held or beneficially owned by stockholders or beneficial owners who fail to perfect or who effectively withdraw, waive or lose their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL will be deemed to be converted into, and to become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Price, without interest thereon.

    The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) established a special committee consisting only of directors that the Company Board determined to each be a “disinterested director” (as defined in Section 144 of the DGCL) with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Special Committee”) to, among other things, review and evaluate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, negotiate the Merger Agreement and recommend the Merger Agreement for approval by the Company Board or reject any proposals made by LGP or any of its affiliates or affiliated funds and alternatives thereto.

    The Special Committee unanimously (i) determined that the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”), including the Merger, are (a) fair to and in the best interests of the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders (which is defined as the stockholders of the Company, other than the Principal Stockholders and the executive officers of the Company) and (b) substantively and procedurally fair to the unaffiliated security holders (as defined in Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act); and (ii) recommended that the Company Board (a) determine that the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders (in their capacity as such), (b) determine that it is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders (in their capacity as such), and declare it advisable, to enter into the Merger Agreement and the other agreements, certificates, instruments or other documents entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement (the “Transaction Documents”) to which the Company is a party, (c) approve the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (d) recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement in accordance with the DGCL, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, and (e) direct that the Merger Agreement be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for their adoption upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement (the recommendations described in clause (ii), the “Special Committee Recommendation”).

    The Company Board, acting upon the Special Committee Recommendation at a meeting attended by each member of the Company Board other than the directors affiliated with LGP, by unanimous vote of all directors in attendance, (i) determined that the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, are (a) fair to and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders (in their capacity as such) and (b) substantively and procedurally fair to the unaffiliated security holders (as defined in Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act), (ii) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders (in their capacity as such), and declared it advisable, to enter into the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, (iii) approved the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (iv) recommended that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement in accordance with the DGCL, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, and (v) directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for their adoption upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement.

    Immediately prior to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Principal Stockholders, all of which are affiliates and/or affiliated funds of LGP and who as of the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company entitled to consent to the adoption of the Merger Agreement collectively held approximately 67% of the then-outstanding Company Common Stock, executed and delivered to the Company a written consent (the “Written Consent”). The Written Consent approved and adopted the Merger Agreement in accordance with the DGCL and became effective immediately following the execution of the Merger Agreement. No further approval of the Company’s stockholders is required to adopt the Merger Agreement or consummate the Merger.

    If the Merger is consummated, the Company Common Stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

    Neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, are required to consummate the Merger prior to April 20, 2026. Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote in accordance with the DGCL (which has been received through the Written Consent), (ii) the mailing of the Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), (iii) the expiration or termination of any waiting periods (and any extensions thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Merger pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the receipt of any clearance or other affirmative approvals applicable to the Merger under antitrust laws or foreign investment laws under certain specified jurisdictions and the expiration or termination of any mandatory waiting period related thereto; (iv) the absence of any law or order issued by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits, makes illegal or enjoins the consummation of the Merger; (v) the accuracy of the parties’ respective representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement, subject to specified materiality qualifications; (vi) the parties’ performance of and compliance with their respective pre-Closing covenants and obligations in the Merger Agreement in all material respects; and (vii) the delivery by each party to the other party of a certificate certifying compliance with the conditions described in clauses (v) and (vi).

    Concurrently with the execution and the delivery of the Merger Agreement, Green Equity Investors VI, L.P. and Green Equity Investors Side VI, L.P. (collectively, the “Guarantors”) each provided a limited guarantee in favor of the Company (the “Guaranty”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, each Guarantor has guaranteed, severally and not jointly, the due and punctual payment, performance and discharge of such Guarantor’s applicable percentage of the payment obligations of Parent and Merger Sub with respect to (i) the Parent Termination Fee (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) any filing fees paid to any Governmental Authority by the Company under any Antitrust Law or FDI Law (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (iii) certain reimbursement obligations for out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Company and interest accrued thereon; provided that the Guarantors’ aggregate liability under the Guaranty will not exceed $51,750,000, plus any amounts owed pursuant to the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), and, in each case, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Guaranty and the Merger Agreement.

    Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Principal Stockholders, the Company and Parent entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, each Principal Stockholder has agreed (i) to deliver a duly executed written consent approving and adopting any Specified Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (ii) that if a Parent Termination Fee is paid to the Company, then the Company may pay a dividend on each share of Company Common Stock in an aggregate amount (after taking account of the waiver mentioned below) equal to the Parent Termination Fee, and each Principal Stockholder waives its right to receive such dividend.

    The Support Agreement includes certain restrictions on the transfer of shares of Company Common Stock prior to the termination of the Support Agreement, as well as covenants regarding voting, waiver of right to appraisal, and public statements. The Support Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the mutual written agreement of the parties, (ii) the Effective Time, and (iii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, with certain obligations surviving the termination of the Support Agreement in certain circumstances, as described in the Support Agreement.

    Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Principal Stockholders entered into a rollover agreement with Parent (the “Principal Stockholder Rollover Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, each of the Principal Stockholders will, immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, contribute to Parent all shares of Company Common Stock held by such Principal Stockholder in exchange for equity interests of Parent.

    Parent has had preliminary discussions with certain executives of the Company regarding the opportunity to enter into a rollover agreement (each, a “Management Rollover Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things,

     

    3


    each executive of the Company who executes a Management Rollover Agreement will acquire direct or indirect equity interests of Parent, which may be effected by, among other actions, such executive contributing to Parent, immediately prior to and contingent upon the Closing, a number of shares of Company Common Stock as specified therein in exchange for direct or indirect equity interests of Parent. As of the date hereof, no Management Rollover Agreements have been executed or finalized and, accordingly, the actual terms of the Management Rollover Agreements, if any are executed, may differ from those described in the Information Statement. The Closing is not conditioned upon the execution of any Management Rollover Agreements.
