***The following communication was shared with the members of EWC Management Holdco, LLC on April 13, 2026:***

European Wax Center, Inc.

5830 Granite Pkwy, 3<sup>rd</sup> Floor

Plano, TX 75024

April 13, 2026

Dear EWC Management Holdco, LLC Member,

Please refer to (i) the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of EWC Management Holdco, LLC dated as of August 4, 2021, by and between EWC Management Holdco, LLC ("**EWC Management Holdco**"), European Wax Center, Inc. (the "**Company**") and the parties thereto (the "**EWC Management Holdco LLCA**"), (ii) the Exchange Agreement dated as of August 4, 2021, by and among EWC Ventures, LLC ("**Opco**"), the Company and the holders party thereto (the "**Exchange Agreement**"), (iii) the Tax Receivable Agreement dated August 4, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Tax Receivable Agreement dated December 30, 2024, by and among the Company, EWC Management Holdco and the other parties thereto (the "**Tax Receivable Agreement**") and (iv) the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "**Merger Agreement**") dated February 9, 2026 by and between Glow Midco, LLC, Glow Merger Sub 1, Inc., Glow Merger Sub 2, LLC, the Company and Opco providing for (a) the merger of Glow Merger Sub 1, Inc. with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation, and (b) the merger of Glow Merger Sub 2, LLC with and into Opco, with Opco continuing as the surviving limited liability company (the "**Mergers**").

In connection with the Mergers and pursuant to the EWC Management Holdco LLCA, in order to facilitate closing of the Mergers and the sale of your interest, the Company requires that you redeem all of the common units you hold of EWC Management Holdco in exchange for Paired Interests (defined in the Exchange Agreement), each consisting of (i) one share of the Company's Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share and (ii) one common unit of Opco (the "**Redemption**"). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company also requires that you exchange all of the Paired Interests you receive in the Redemption for shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (such common stock, the "**Class A Common Stock**" and such exchange, the "**Exchange**"). Following the Redemption and Exchange and consummation of the Mergers, you will be entitled to receive $5.80 per share of Class A Common Stock, which is the same consideration as other holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock will receive in connection with the consummation of the Mergers.

In the event you do not participate in the Redemption and Exchange, EWC Management Holdco will receive consideration for the common units of Opco that it holds immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers and may distribute such consideration to any remaining members following such time. However, only members that participate in the Redemption and Exchange will receive the rights to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in respect of the Paired Interests issued to such holder in connection with the Redemption. As a result, the Company believes it is in the interest of members of EWC Management Holdco to participate in the Redemption and Exchange.

To effect the Redemption and Exchange, please fill out and execute each of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Exchange Election Notice in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Exchange, Redemption and Assignment Agreement in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B</u>,

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Joinder Agreement to the Exchange Agreement in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit C</u> and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Notice of Exchange in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit D</u>.

**Please leave these materials undated**. The Company will hold these materials in escrow and will effect the Redemption and Exchange immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers <u>unless</u> you instruct the Company to effect the Redemption and Exchange at an earlier time.

In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms and the Mergers do not occur, the Company will either destroy these materials or return them to you and will not effect the Redemption or the Exchange. **The Mergers do not limit your existing ability to effect voluntary redemptions and exchanges at any point prior to the Mergers or, if the Mergers do not occur, at any point following the termination of the Merger Agreement**.

Please return scanned, executed copies of the documents in each of <u>Exhibit A</u>, <u>Exhibit B</u>, <u>Exhibit C</u> and <u>Exhibit D</u> attached hereto to each of the following email addresses: <u>Thomas.Fraser@ropesgray.com</u>; [\*\*\*]; and [\*\*\*].

The tax treatment of the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement attributable to interests in Opco that would be cancelled and converted to the right to receive consideration under the Merger Agreement in connection with the Mergers is generally expected to be consistent with the description of tax treatment set forth within the Tax Receivable Agreement. Complex tax rules apply to the receipt of the entitlement to the Tax Receivable Agreement payments and to the receipt of the payments themselves, including the method in which an exchanging member may recover its tax basis with respect to its interests in Opco. As a result, we encourage you to consult with your tax advisors.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please reach out to our outside counsel, Tom Fraser, Ropes & Gray LLP at <u>Thomas.Fraser@ropesgray.com</u> or 617-951-7063.

If any part of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid by any court of law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and may be enforced in accordance with the provisions hereof. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement would be unenforceable then such provision will automatically be modified as may be enforceable, and, in addition, such court or arbitrator (as applicable) is hereby expressly authorized to so modify this Agreement and to enforce it as so modified.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) <u>Tax Treatment</u>. The Exchange and Redemption is intended to constitute a distribution of each Unitholder's membership interest in Holdco pursuant to Section 731 of the Code, without recognition of gain or loss, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes. The Parties shall report consistently with the foregoing intent and shall take no contrary position in a filed tax return or otherwise, unless required by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.
