 our board of directors. There are no shares available for future issuance under the Rollover Plan or the 2014 Plan. CEO Pay Ratio In accordance with the requirements set forth by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to disclose the median of the annual total compensation of our employees, the annual total compensation of our CEO, John Lai, and the ratio of these two amounts. In accordance with SEC rules requiring the identification of a new median employee every three years, Mister Car Wash has identified the median employee for 2024 using the methodology established in 2023. Our methodology to identify the median of the annual total compensation of all employees in 2024 included the following calculations, assumptions, adjustments, and estimates: • As wash operations rely on many part-time hourly employees and turnover and job changes among those positions is consistently high, the methodology for calculating total annual compensation relies on the annualization of crew members’ available work history in their job as of the snapshot date selected. • We annualize 2024 pay for all full-time and part-time permanent employees who were actively employed as of December 31, 2024. Our entire workforce is exclusively US-based. • The median employee selected was within +/- 1% of the median total compensation and had at least 3 years of tenure with the company. The median employee’s total 2024 compensation was $32,357. • The 2024 annual total compensation of the CEO was $6,671,229.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

• The ratio of the 2024 annual total compensation of the CEO to the 2024 annual total compensation of the median employee was 206 to 1. Our CEO pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules. These rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to exclude up to 5% of their workforce and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that may impact their employee populations. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above. Other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.
