Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 27, 2024, Mister Car Wash Holdings, Inc. (the "Borrower") entered into Amendment No. 5 to its Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement with Hotshine Intermediateco, Inc. ("Holdings"), other guarantors, lenders, and Bank of America, N.A. ("BofA") as the successor administrative agent and collateral agent. This amendment further modifies the existing credit agreement dated May 14, 2019 (as amended prior to the Amendment No. 5 the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as amended by Amendment No. 5, the “Credit Agreement”). Defined terms used herein and not defined have the meaning set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement provides for:
2024 Term Loans
The 2024 Term Loans have an interest rate of Term SOFR or Base Rate, at the Borrower's option, plus an applicable margin (3.00% for SOFR Loans or 2.00% for Base Rate Loans), subject to step-downs based on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. For SOFR Loans, the margin starts at 3.00% and can decrease to 2.75% and 2.50% based on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. For Base Rate Loans, the margin begins at 2.00% and can decrease to 1.75% and 1.50%, depending on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. The SOFR rate has a floor of 0.00%. Starting September 30, 2024, the loans will be amortized in equal quarterly installments at an annual rate of 1.00% of the original principal amount. The loans are scheduled to mature on March 27, 2031.
2024 Revolving Commitments
The Borrower can draw revolving loans under the 2024 Revolving Commitments until the earliest of March 27, 2029, permanent reduction of commitments to zero or termination of the commitment. The interest rate for these loans is Term SOFR or Base Rate, at the Borrower's option, plus an applicable margin (2.50% for SOFR Loans or 1.50% for Base Rate Loans), subject to step-ups and step-downs based on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. Any unused commitment fee is also payable based on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio.
The Credit Agreement requires the Borrower to maintain a Rent Adjusted Total Net Leverage Ratio no greater than 6.50 to 1.00, tested quarterly beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2024, for the benefit of lenders holding the 2024 Revolving Commitments. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, limiting the Borrower and its subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make acquisitions, suffer changes in control, make investments, pay dividends or distributions, repurchase or redeem stock, dispose of or transfer assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates, subject to agreed limitations and exceptions. In addition, a fee applies for not using the available loan amount, which is calculated based on the same leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement remains collateralized by substantially all personal property, real property and equity interests owned by the Borrower, which collateral package remains unchanged and as previously disclosed. In addition, various starter baskets that permit, among other things, debt, lien, and investment capacity have been upsized.
Except as described above, the material terms of the Existing Credit Agreement remain substantially unchanged and as previously disclosed.
The foregoing description of Amendment No. 5 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 5, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

TUCSON, Arizona, April 1, 2024 -- Mister Car Wash (the “Company”) (NYSE: MCW) today announced the completion of a series of related transactions in support of a comprehensive plan to refinance its capital structure. Through these transactions, the Company extended its debt maturities and improved liquidity to support continued Company growth.
Summary of Transactions
"We are thrilled with the execution and outcome of our recent debt amendment and extension. The transactions were well oversubscribed and priced favorably to our current deals. Both are a testament to Mister’s strong business and reputation in the capital markets. The transaction provides some added flexibility and liquidity to help drive our planned Mister brand expansion and profitable growth,” said Jed Gold, Chief Financial Officer at Mister Car Wash.
The $925 million Term Loan B facility, privately placed with institutional investors, will accrue interest at an annual rate of SOFR+300, subject to a leverage-based pricing grid, and will mature on March 27, 2031.
The $300 million Revolving Credit Facility will mature on March 27, 2029.
The Company will provide more details about the terms and conditions in a Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
