Amendment Description European Wax Center, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2026, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2026 (the “Original Filing”), to include Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of Form 10-K. Pursuant to General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, we incorporated the above-referenced items in our Form 10-K by reference to our definitive proxy statement, expecting to file such statement within 120 days after our fiscal year-end. We are filing this Amendment to provide the information required in Part III of Form 10-K because we have now determined that we will not file a definitive proxy statement containing that information within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by our Original Filing. For purposes of this Amendment, and in accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Amendment amends and restates in their entirety Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of our Original Filing. The cover page of our Original Filing is also amended to delete the reference to the incorporation by reference to our definitive proxy statement. No other changes have been made to the Form 10-K other than those described above and in the immediately preceding paragraph. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Form 10-K or modify or update the financial statements, consents or any other items or disclosures made in the Form 10-K in any way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and the Company’s other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to this Amendment.
