BFA Law Urges Mister Car Wash Shareholders to Contact Firm About Takeover Investigation

Leading securities law firm announces probe into potential breaches of fiduciary duties by Mister Car Wash board and controlling shareholder LGP

Mar. 3, 2026 at 12:39am

Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP has launched an investigation into Mister Car Wash, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: MCW) board of directors and its controlling stockholder, LGP, for potential breaches of their fiduciary duties to shareholders in connection with a potential take-private sale of Mister Car Wash that would cash out every public stockholder for $7 per share.

Why it matters

As the largest owner of Mister Car Wash stock, holding over 66% of the company's common stock, LGP owes fiduciary duties to the public stockholders of Mister Car Wash. The investigation will look into whether LGP and the Mister Car Wash board have breached these duties in the proposed $7 per share buyout, which may represent an unfairly low price for public shareholders.

The details

On February 18, 2026, Mister Car Wash announced it had agreed to be acquired by Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. ('LGP') for $7.00 per share. LGP, as the controlling stockholder, has already used its shares to approve the take-private sale, and the company does not plan to solicit any further votes from public stockholders. BFA Law is investigating whether LGP and the Mister Car Wash board have breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders in connection with the contemplated transaction.
