 to vote at the Annual Meeting.

#### How can I attend the Annual Meeting?
You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting if you were a stockholder as of the close of business on the Record Date, or hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting.

The Annual Meeting will be held entirely online. Stockholders may participate in the Annual Meeting by visiting the following website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FWRG2025. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card, on the notice you receive from your broker, bank or other intermediary or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted electronically during the Annual Meeting. A beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” may also attend the Annual Meeting, but because a beneficial owner is not a stockholder of record, you may not vote during the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the organization that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares during the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance by the Internet, telephone or mail, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting. You will find more information on the matters on which we are asking stockholders to vote on the following pages.

On the day of the Annual Meeting, stockholders may begin to log in to the virtual-only Annual Meeting 15 minutes prior to the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

To vote your shares without attending or having to attend the meeting, please follow the instructions for Internet or telephone voting on the Notice of Internet Availability. If you request printed copies of the of the proxy materials by mail, you may also vote by signing and submitting your proxy card and returning it by mail, if you are the stockholder of record, or by signing the voter instruction form provided by your bank or broker and returning it by mail, if you are the beneficial owner but not the stockholder of record.

What are the voting rights of First Watch stockholders?

Each stockholder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on each of the four Class I director nominees and one vote per share on each other matter properly presented at the Annual Meeting for each share of Common Stock owned by that stockholder on the Record Date.
