**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On May 3, 2026, WEX Inc. ("WEX" or the "Company") entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the "Cooperation Agreement"), by and between WEX and Impactive Capital Master Fund LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (collectively with its affiliates, "Impactive").

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Board of Directors of WEX (the "Board") will (i) set the size of the Board to eleven directors as of the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), (ii) supplement the Company's proxy statement for the Annual Meeting to include Kurt Adams and Ellen Alemany (the "Independent Director Nominees") and Lauren Taylor Wolfe (the "Impactive Designee," and together with the Independent Director Nominees, the "New Director Nominees") as nominees of the Board for election at the Annual Meeting, and (iii) nominate each of the New Director Nominees, Daniel Callahan, Aimee Cardwell, David Foss, James Groch, Derrick Roman, Melissa Smith, Stephen Smith and Susan Sobbott for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting (collectively, the "2026 Slate").

Further, the Cooperation Agreement provides that at the first regular meeting of the Board after the Annual Meeting (the "Board Meeting"), the Board will take necessary steps to separate the roles of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. At the Board Meeting, the Board will also determine the composition of the Audit Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Leadership Development and Compensation Committee, Technology and Cybersecurity Committee and the Finance Committee and select new committee chairs for each of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee. At the Board Meeting, the Board will appoint (i) Ms. Taylor Wolfe to the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Audit Committee, (ii) Ms. Alemany to the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Finance Committee, and (iii) Mr. Adams to the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee and the Technology and Cybersecurity Committee.

Until the earlier of the Nomination Termination Date and the Impactive Principal Termination Date (each as defined below) and as long as Impactive's Net Long Position (as defined in the Cooperation Agreement) remains at or above the lesser of (x) three percent of the then-outstanding shares of WEX's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") and (y) 1,040,044 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and recapitalizations), in the event that any of the New Director Nominees is no longer able to serve as a director of WEX, Impactive would be entitled to designate a replacement candidate, subject to the approval of the Board (such replacement, a "Replacement Director").

The Cooperation Agreement also contains customary voting commitment, standstill, non-disparagement and expense reimbursement provisions.

The Cooperation Agreement will terminate on the date that is the later of (i) the date that is thirty days prior to the advance notice deadline for director nominations for election to the Board at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Nomination Termination Date") and (ii) the date that is ten days after the Impactive Designee or any Replacement Director ceases to serve as a director on the Board (the "Impactive Principal Termination Date"), unless earlier terminated by mutual written agreement.

The Cooperation Agreement further provides that the Board will postpone the Annual Meeting, but will convene the Annual Meeting as promptly as possible, and in any event, prior to the Board Meeting.

The foregoing description of the Cooperation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

## Exhibit 10.1

**Exhibit 10.1**

**COOPERATION AGREEMENT**

This COOPERATION AGREEMENT (this "<u>Agreement</u>") is made and entered into as of May 3, 2026, by and between WEX Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>") and Impactive Capital Master Fund LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (together with its Affiliates, "<u>Impactive</u>"). The Company and Impactive are each herein referred to as a "<u>party</u>" and collectively, the "<u>parties</u>." Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in <u>Section 15</u> of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, Impactive currently beneficially owns 1,707,253 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "<u>Common Stock</u>"), constituting approximately 4.9% of the shares of outstanding Common Stock;

WHEREAS, on February 9, 2026, Impactive provided notice to the Company of its intent to nominate four candidates for election to the board of directors of the Company (the "<u>Board</u>") at the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the "<u>2026 Annual Meeting</u>") (such notice, the "<u>Notice</u>");

WHEREAS, on March 6, 2026, Impactive made a demand for a stockholder list and other books and records of the Company (the "<u>Stockholder List Demand</u>");

WHEREAS, on March 30, 2026, Impactive provided notice of the withdrawal of one of its candidates for election to the Board;

WHEREAS, on April 3, 2026, Impactive provided a record date supplement to the Notice (the "<u>Supplemental Notice</u>" and collectively with the Notice, the "<u>Impactive Notices</u>");

WHEREAS, the Company and Impactive have determined to come to an agreement with respect to the foregoing and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

**1. <u>Board Composition and Related Matters</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Impactive hereby irrevocably withdraws each of the Impactive Notices and the Stockholder List Demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall take all necessary actions to (i) set the size of the Board to eleven (11) directors as of the 2026 Annual Meeting, (ii) supplement the Company's proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting to include Kurt Adams and Ellen Alemany (the "<u>Independent Directors</u>") and Lauren Taylor Wolfe (the "<u>Impactive Designee</u>" and together with the Independent Directors, the "<u>New Directors</u>") as nominees of the Board, and (iii) nominate solely each of the New Directors, Daniel Callahan, Aimee Cardwell, David Foss, James Groch, Derrick Roman, Melissa Smith, Stephen Smith and Susan Sobbott for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting (collectively, the "<u>2026 Slate</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In connection with the 2026 Annual Meeting, the Company shall recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of each nominee on the 2026 Slate in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company recommends, supports and solicits proxies for the election of any other nominee. Impactive shall use its reasonable efforts to support the election of each member of the 2026 Slate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) At the first regular meeting of the Board following the 2026 Annual Meeting (the "<u>Board Meeting</u>"), the Board shall take all necessary actions to separate the roles of Chair of the Board (the "<u>Chair</u>") and Chief Executive Officer. In connection with such separation of the roles, the Board shall dissolve the position of Lead Independent Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Board shall postpone the 2026 Annual Meeting to permit the mailing of revised proxy materials to the Company's stockholders; *provided*, the Board shall convene the 2026 Annual Meeting as promptly as possible and in any event, prior to the Board Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) At the Board Meeting, the Board shall determine the composition of the Audit Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Leadership Development and Compensation Committee, Technology and Cybersecurity Committee, and the Finance Committee (each, a "<u>Committee</u>" and collectively, the "<u>Standing Committees</u>") and select new committee chairs for each of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Board Meeting, the Board shall appoint (i) Ms. Taylor Wolfe to the Nominating and Governance Committee as well as the Audit Committee, (ii) Ms. Alemany to the Nominating and Governance Committee as well as the Finance Committee and (iii) Mr. Adams to the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee as well as the Technology and Cybersecurity Committee. Immediately following the Board Meeting, the Nominating and Governance Committee shall consist of five (5) members. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no cap on the size of any Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Board shall appoint at least one of the New Directors to any new committee of the Board formed prior to the Termination Date (each, a "<u>New Committee</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The Board shall, in accordance with its customary governance processes, give each of the New Directors the same due consideration for membership on each Standing Committee and any New Committee as any other independent director with similar relevant expertise and qualifications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Until the earlier of the Nomination Termination Date and the Impactive Principal Termination Date, provided that Impactive's Net Long Position remains at or above the lesser of (x) three percent (3.0%) of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock and (y) 1,040,044 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in each case for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and recapitalizations), in the event that any of the New Directors is no longer able to serve as a director of the Company for any reason, Impactive shall be entitled to propose a Qualified Candidate for the replacement of such director and, subject to the approval of the Board (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Board shall appoint such Qualified Candidate as promptly as practicable (such replacement, the "<u>Replacement Director</u>"); *provided*, *however*, that if the Board does not approve such Replacement Director to the Board pursuant to this <u>Section 1(i)</u>, the parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this <u>Section 1(i)</u> until a Replacement Director is appointed to the Board. A Replacement Director who is appointed to the Board shall be considered a New Director for purposes of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, "<u>Qualified Candidate</u>" means an individual who (i) qualifies as an "independent director" under the applicable rules of the SEC, the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company is traded and the applicable governance policies of the Company, (ii) unless such individual is proposed as a replacement for the Impactive Designee or any Replacement Director thereof pursuant to this <u>Section 1(i)</u>, is not a current or former principal, employee, Affiliate or Associate of Impactive, and (iii) meets all other qualifications required for service as a director set forth in the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "<u>Charter</u>"), the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (the "<u>By-Laws</u>"), committee charters, corporate governance guidelines and similar governance documents applicable to the current directors (collectively, the "<u>Governance Documents</u>").

**2. <u>Voting Commitment</u>.** Until the Termination Date, Impactive shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, appear in person or by proxy at each Stockholder Meeting (including the 2026 Annual Meeting) and to vote, or deliver consents or consent revocations with respect to, all of the shares of Common Stock, beneficially owned by Impactive and over which Impactive has voting power, in accordance with the Board's recommendations with respect to all proposals submitted to stockholders at each such Stockholder Meeting, in each case as the Board's recommendation is set forth in the applicable definitive proxy statement, consent solicitation statement or revocation solicitation statement filed by the Company in respect of such Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in the event that Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. ("<u>ISS</u>") or Glass Lewis & Co., LLC ("<u>Glass Lewis</u>") issues a voting recommendation that differs from the Board's recommendation with respect to any proposal submitted to the stockholders at any Stockholder Meeting (other than proposals to elect or remove directors), Impactive shall be permitted to vote in accordance with such ISS or Glass Lewis recommendation for such proposal (and only such proposal), and (b) Impactive shall be permitted to vote in its sole discretion on any proposal(s) on any Extraordinary Transaction that is subject to a vote of the Company's stockholders. Impactive shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including by calling back any loaned out shares so long as the Company has provided Impactive with at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of the record date) to ensure that Impactive has voting power for each share beneficially owned by it on the record date for and through each Stockholder Meeting.

**3. <u>Standstill</u>.** Prior to the Termination Date, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Board, Impactive shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Associates not to, in each case, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, in any manner:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) sell, assign, or otherwise transfer or dispose of Common Stock, or any rights decoupled from such shares, beneficially owned by them, other than in open market sale transactions where the identity of the purchaser is not known or in underwritten widely-dispersed public offerings, to any Third Party that, to Impactive's knowledge (after reasonable due inquiry in connection with a private, non-open market transaction), would result in such Third Party, together with its Affiliates and Associates, beneficially owning, in the aggregate, more than four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time or would increase the beneficial ownership of any Third Party who, together with its Affiliates and Associates, has a beneficial or other ownership interest of, in the aggregate, more than four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time (except in each case in a transaction approved by the Board or to Schedule 13G filers that are mutual funds, pension funds, index funds or investment fund managers with no known history of activism or known plans to engage in activism);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) (i) nominate, recommend for nomination or give notice of an intent to nominate or recommend for nomination a person for election at any Stockholder Meeting at which the Company's directors are to be elected; (ii) initiate, knowingly encourage or participate in any solicitation of proxies, consents or consent revocations in respect of any election contest or removal contest with respect to the Company's directors; (iii) submit, initiate, make or be a proponent of any stockholder proposal for consideration at, or bring any other business before, any Stockholder Meeting; (iv) initiate, knowingly encourage or participate in any solicitation of proxies, consents or consent revocations in respect of any stockholder proposal for consideration at, or other business brought before, any Stockholder Meeting; (v) call or seek to call, or request to call, alone or in concert with others, any Stockholder Meeting, whether or not such a meeting is permitted by the Company's Charter or By-Laws, including any "town hall meeting," or initiate, knowingly encourage or participate in any stockholder action by written consent; or (vi) initiate, knowingly encourage or participate in any "withhold" or similar campaign with respect to any proposal for consideration at, or other business brought before, any Stockholder Meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) form, join or in any way participate in or with any group or agreement of any kind with respect to any voting securities of the Company, including in connection with any election or removal contest with respect to the Company's directors or any stockholder proposal or other business brought before any Stockholder Meeting (other than with the members of Impactive or one or more of their Associates who are instructed to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) deposit any voting securities of the Company in any voting trust or subject any Company voting securities to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting thereof (other than (i) any such voting trust, arrangement or agreement solely among members of Impactive, (ii) depositing securities in customary brokerage accounts, margin accounts, prime brokerage accounts or similar account and (iii) as otherwise in accordance with this Agreement);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) seek publicly, alone or in concert with others, to amend any provision of the Governance Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) demand an inspection of the Company's books and records;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) make any proposal with respect to, or make any statement or otherwise seek to encourage, advise or assist any person in so encouraging or advising: (i) any change in the composition, number or term of directors serving on the Board or the filling of any vacancies on the Board, (ii) any change in the capitalization or dividend policy or share repurchase programs or practices of the Company, (iii) any other change in the Company's management, governance, corporate structure, business, operations, strategy, affairs or policies, (iv) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from, or to cease to be authorized to be quoted on, any securities exchange, or (v) causing a class of equity securities of the Company to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) initiate, make, offer, propose to effect or in any way participate, directly or indirectly, in any Extraordinary Transaction or make, directly or indirectly, any proposal, either alone or in concert with others, to the Company or the Board that would reasonably be expected to require a public announcement or disclosure regarding any such matter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) effect or seek to effect, offer or propose to effect, cause or participate in, or in any way assist or facilitate any other person to effect or seek to effect, offer or propose to effect, cause or participate in, any Extraordinary Transaction; *provided*, *however*, that the foregoing shall not restrict Impactive from stating how it intends to vote and the reasons therefor on any Extraordinary Transaction that the Impactive Designee (or any Replacement Director thereto) voted "against" in his or her capacity as a director and has been publicly submitted for the approval of the Company's stockholders, subject to the limitations set forth in <u>Section 4</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) enter into any negotiations, agreements or understandings with any Third Party with respect to any of the foregoing, or advise, assist, encourage or seek to persuade any Third Party to take any action that is prohibited under this <u>Section 3</u>, or otherwise take or cause any action inconsistent with any of the foregoing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) publicly make or in any way advance publicly any request or proposal that the Company or the Board amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement; or

*provided, however*, that the restrictions in this <u>Section 3</u> shall not prohibit or restrict Impactive or its Representatives from (i) making (A) any factual statement or public disclosure to the extent required by applicable legal process, subpoena or legal requirement from any governmental authority with competent jurisdiction over the party from whom information is sought (so long as such request did not arise as a result of action by Impactive or its Representatives) or (B) any private or confidential communication to or with the Board or any officer or director of the Company or legal counsel regarding any matter that is not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, trigger or require any public disclosure of such communications for any of the parties, (ii) tendering shares, receiving payment for shares or otherwise participating in any transaction approved by the Board on the same basis as the other stockholders of the Company, subject to the other terms of this Agreement and (iii) making or sending private communications to existing or prospective investors in Impactive or any of its Affiliates, provided that any statements or communications (x) include only publicly available information, (y) are not reasonably expected to be publicly disclosed and are understood by all parties to be confidential communications and (z) are not intended to effect, or influence any other person to undertake or suggest to others that they undertake, any of the actions prohibited by <u>Sections 3</u> or <u>4</u> or that otherwise violate or are inconsistent with this Agreement. Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit the exercise in good faith by the New Directors of their fiduciary duties in their capacities as a director of the Company. Impactive shall comply with the requirements of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and upon reasonable written notice from the Company to Impactive, Impactive shall provide written confirmation that it is in compliance with said requirements.

Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to the parties under this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction or otherwise and specific performance of the provisions hereof upon satisfying the requirements to obtain such relief without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, if a party or any of its Representatives breaches or threatens to breach any provision of this Agreement.

**WEX and Impactive Capital Announce Cooperation Agreement**

*Company to Nominate Three New Independent Directors – Kurt Adams, Ellen Alemany, and Lauren <br> Taylor Wolfe – for Election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders*

 

*2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders Rescheduled to May 14, 2026*

PORTLAND, Maine, May 4, 2026-- WEX (NYSE: WEX) ("WEX" or the "Company"), a global leader in intelligent payment solutions, today announced that it has entered into a cooperation agreement with Impactive Capital Master Fund LP ("Impactive").

Under the terms of the agreement, WEX and Impactive have established a refreshed slate including three new independent directors – Kurt Adams, Ellen Alemany, and Lauren Taylor Wolfe (the "New Directors") – for election to the WEX Board of Directors (the "Board") at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). In addition to the New Directors, WEX will nominate Daniel Callahan, Aimee Cardwell, David Foss, James Groch, Derrick Roman, Melissa Smith, Stephen Smith and Susan Sobbott. As of the Annual Meeting, the Board will include 11 directors.

In addition, following the Annual Meeting, WEX will separate the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer. Melissa Smith will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer, President, and a member of the Board.

Impactive will withdraw its nomination notice in light of the agreed slate and will support the revised Board at the Annual Meeting. The New Directors will serve on the Board's Nominating and Governance, Leadership Development and Compensation, Technology and Cybersecurity, Finance and Audit Committees. The agreement also contains customary standstill and non-disparagement provisions and voting commitments.

The Company will file additional proxy materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") reflecting the revised slate of 11 director nominees. Shareholders who have voted on Impactive's white proxy card will need to submit new voting instructions on the Company's revised proxy card, which will be distributed to shareholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting. To provide shareholders sufficient time to evaluate the updated materials, the Annual Meeting has been rescheduled to May 14, 2026.

"We are pleased to have reached a resolution with Impactive, which will allow the Board and management team to remain focused on executing our strategy, strengthening the business and positioning WEX for continued long-term growth," said Melissa Smith, CEO of WEX. "This outcome reflects our commitment to constructive dialogue and effective governance. We look forward to working with Kurt, Ellen and Lauren toward our common goal of enhancing value for all shareholders."

"We believe in the strength of WEX's businesses and the Company's opportunity to create meaningful long-term value for shareholders," said Lauren Taylor Wolfe, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Impactive. "The new directors joining the Board bring valuable, complementary skillsets – particularly in the areas of governance, capital allocation and operational efficiency. We are confident these additions will benefit the Company as we work closely with Melissa, the management team and the Board to help WEX realize its full potential. We look forward to supporting the newly composed slate of director nominees at the upcoming Annual Meeting."

Attn: Lauren Taylor Wolfe

**Re: <u>Confidentiality Agreement</u>**

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement shall become effective upon the appointment of Lauren Taylor Wolfe (the "<u>Impactive Designee</u>") to the Board of Directors (the "<u>Board</u>") of WEX Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2026 (the "<u>Cooperation Agreement</u>"), by and among the Company, on the one hand, and Impactive Capital Master Fund LP (collectively with its Affiliates "<u>Impactive</u>"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Cooperation Agreement.

Upon the terms of, and subject to the conditions in, this letter agreement, Impactive and its Representatives may receive certain Confidential Information (as defined herein) about the Company and its Affiliates from the Impactive Designee obtained in her capacity as a director of the Company, the disclosure of which could harm the Company or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding any provisions in (or required approval pursuant to) any of the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or Corporate Governance Guidelines to the contrary, the Company understands and agrees that, upon the terms of, and subject to the conditions in, this letter agreement, the Impactive Designee may disclose Confidential Information to Impactive or its Representatives, and that such disclosure on the terms of, and subject to the conditions in, this letter agreement shall not constitute a breach of or failure to comply with the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended and as may be further amended from time to time), the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws (as amended and as may be further amended from time to time), committee charters, corporate governance, ethics, conflict of interest, confidentiality, and similar governance documents that are generally applicable to the Company's directors.

1. The Impactive Designee and Impactive understand and agree that the Impactive Designee, when acting in
her capacity as a director of the Company, shall be subject in all cases to the fiduciary duties owed to the Company and its stockholders
imposed by Delaware law. It is understood and agreed that the Impactive Designee shall not disclose to any person or entity outside the
Company or to Impactive or its Representatives (a) any confidential or proprietary information of any third party in the possession
of the Company or any of its Affiliates, that the Company or any of its Affiliates is prohibited from disclosing pursuant to a contractual,
fiduciary or other legal obligation or duty of confidentiality; and (b) any legal advice or information that is specifically
identified to the Impactive Designee, prior to such disclosure, as protected by the Company's or any of its Affiliates' attorney-client
privilege, attorney work-product privilege or any other applicable privilege (both with respect to internal or external legal counsel).
The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably possible and in good faith, respond to any request by the Impactive Designee for guidance
as to whether any particular Confidential Information is not to be disclosed by the Impactive Designee in accordance with clause (a) or
(b) above, or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. Accordingly, and in furtherance of the foregoing, Impactive agrees not to claim
or contend that the Company has waived any attorney client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege by permitting
the proffer of information pursuant to this letter agreement. The term " <u>Representatives</u> " shall mean (i) with respect
to the Company, members of the Board, officers, financial advisers and attorneys and (ii) with respect to Impactive, any of its controlled
Affiliates and its and their partners, directors, officers or employees (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any member of the Board).

2. For purposes of this letter agreement, the term " <u>Confidential Information</u> " includes
all non-public information (whether or not material to the Company), concerning or relating to the Company that is furnished directly
or indirectly by the Company or any of its Representatives on or after the effective date hereof and prior to the termination of this
letter agreement, whether or not marked as confidential, whether oral, written or electronic, and regardless of the manner in which it
is furnished, together with any notes, reports, summaries, analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies, interpretations, memoranda or other
materials that contain, reference, reflect or are based upon, in whole or in part, any such information. In addition to information regarding
Board and committee meetings, discussions, deliberations and decisions, Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, non-public
information that might be of use to competitors or harmful to the Company, its customers, suppliers or other stakeholders if disclosed,
including but not limited to: (a) non-public information about the Company's financial condition, forecasts, prospects or plans,
its marketing and sales programs and research and development information, as well as information relating to mergers and acquisitions,
stock splits and divestitures; (b) non-public information concerning possible transactions with other companies or information about the
Company's customers, suppliers or joint venture partners, which the Company is under an obligation to maintain as confidential;
and (c) non-public information about discussions, deliberations and decisions relating to business issues between and among the Company's
employees, officers and directors. The term "Confidential Information" does not include information that (i) was within
Impactive's possession or the possession of any of its Representatives prior to the information being furnished to the Impactive
Designee by the Company or the Company's Representatives; (ii) is or becomes available to Impactive or its Representatives
from a source other than the Company or the Company's Representatives; (iii) is or becomes generally available to the public;
or (iv) has been or is independently developed by Impactive or its Representatives without the use of the Confidential Information
or in violation of the terms of this letter agreement; *provided*, *however*, that, in the case of <u>clauses (i)</u>, <u>(ii)</u> and <u>(iii)</u> above, such information was not known by Impactive or its Representatives to have been provided in violation of any contractual,
fiduciary or other legal obligation of confidentiality owed to the Company or an Affiliate thereof; *provided further* that, in the
case of <u>clauses (ii)</u> and <u>(iii)</u> above, such information becomes available other than as a result of a disclosure by Impactive
or its Representatives in violation of this letter agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, specific aspects or details of Confidential
Information shall not be deemed to be within the public domain or in Impactive's possession on a non-confidential basis merely because
Confidential Information is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in Impactive's possession prior to the
date hereof. Further, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public domain or in Impactive's
possession on a non-confidential basis merely because individual elements of such Confidential Information are in the public domain or
are in Impactive's possession prior to the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the term "Confidential Information"
shall only include information furnished to the Impactive Designee, or to Impactive or its Representatives (other than by the Impactive
Designee), while the Impactive Designee is serving on the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall, and
shall direct each other person acting on its behalf (other than the Impactive Designee) to, use reasonable best efforts not to provide
Impactive or its Representatives (other than the Impactive Designee) with any information that, to the Company's knowledge, constitutes,
or would reasonably be expected to constitute, material non-public information concerning any public company other than the Company.

3. As a condition to Impactive or any of its Representatives being furnished with the Confidential Information,
Impactive agrees to treat as confidential, and to instruct its Representatives to treat as confidential, any Confidential Information
that is furnished to Impactive or its Representatives by or on behalf of the Impactive Designee, the Company or the Company's Representatives
in accordance with the provisions of this letter agreement and to take or abstain from taking, and to instruct its Representatives to
take or abstain from taking, certain other actions as set forth herein. Impactive further agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information
solely for the purpose of monitoring and evaluating Impactive's investment in the Company; *provided*, *however*, that
Impactive may disclose the Confidential Information (a) to any of its Representatives who need to know such information for the purpose
of monitoring and evaluating their investment in the Company or (b) as the Company may otherwise consent in writing. Impactive shall
(i) inform any such Representative of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and (ii) direct such Representative
to keep the Confidential Information strictly confidential according to the terms of this letter agreement. Impactive agrees to be responsible
for any breaches of any of the provisions of this letter agreement by any of its Representatives as if they were a party hereto (it being
understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy the Company may have against
Impactive's Representatives with respect to such breach).

4. Impactive hereby acknowledges that it is aware (and Impactive shall also advise each of its Representatives
that is provided with Confidential Information) (a) that the Confidential Information may contain material non-public information
concerning the Company and (b) that U.S. securities laws and regulations may restrict any person who has material, non-public
information concerning an issuer from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or communicating such information to any other person
under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities. Impactive agrees
that it and its Representatives in possession of material non-public information concerning the Company shall refrain from trading in
the securities of the Company in violation of U.S. securities laws and regulations while in possession of any such material non-public
information. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Company acknowledges that nothing in this letter agreement shall
be deemed to create any duty by either Impactive or any of its Representatives to the Company or any of its affiliates under applicable
law that would restrain Impactive or any of its Representatives from purchasing, selling or otherwise trading any securities of the Company
or any derivatives of such securities, in each case in accordance with applicable law, on and after the first Open Window Date (as defined
below) to occur after the date on which the Impactive Designee ceases to serve on the Board (and Impactive is either restricted from appointing,
or has irrevocably waived in writing its right to appoint, a Replacement Director pursuant to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement,
such date the " <u>Departure Date</u> "), in each case, in compliance with the Cooperation Agreement. Additionally, upon the
request of Impactive, the Company agrees to, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within two (2) business days, notify Impactive
in writing (email being sufficient) following such first Open Window Date to occur after the Departure Date that an Open Window Date has
occurred. Nothing herein shall constitute an admission that any Confidential Information disclosed hereunder includes material non-public
information concerning the Company or any of its affiliates. For purposes of this letter agreement, the term " <u>Open Window Date</u> "
means any date on which the Company (i) is in an open trading window pursuant to the Company's Insider Trading Policy, during which
members of the Board are not prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise engaging in transactions in the securities of the Company, (ii)
buys, sells or offers to sell securities of the Company in the public markets other than pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, or (iii) adopts
or amends a Rule 10b5-1 plan with respect to securities of the Company.

5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company understands and acknowledges that Impactive's
businesses include the analysis of, and investment in, securities, instruments, businesses and assets, and the Confidential Information
may serve to give such persons a deeper overall knowledge and understanding in a way that cannot be separated from their other knowledge,
and accordingly, the Company agrees that this letter agreement is not intended to restrict the use of such overall knowledge and understanding
solely for internal investment analysis purposes, including the purchase, sale, consideration of, and decisions related to, other investments.
Nothing in this letter agreement shall be understood to prohibit or otherwise limit Impactive from negotiating, evaluating and/or trading,
directly or indirectly, in any index fund, exchange traded fund, benchmark fund or other basket of securities which may contain, or otherwise
reflect the performance of, any securities of the Company.

6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this letter agreement, in the event Impactive or
any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to a Legal Requirement or is otherwise required pursuant to applicable law, regulation
or the rules of any governmental, national securities exchange or other regulatory authority to disclose all or any part of the Confidential
Information (as determined based on the advice of outside legal counsel), Impactive agrees, and agrees to instruct its Representatives,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) to promptly notify the Company of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding
such Legal Requirement or other requirement and (b) to reasonably cooperate with the Company, at the Company's sole expense,
in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no such notice shall be required in the case of disclosure required by a routine audit or regulatory or administrative review not specifically
related to the Confidential Information, the Company, or Impactive's interactions with the Company. In the event that such protective
order or other remedy is not obtained or not available or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, Impactive or
its Representatives, as the case may be, (i) may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which Impactive or its
Representatives are advised by its outside legal counsel, is legally required to be disclosed, (ii) shall inform the recipient of
such Confidential Information of the existence of this letter agreement and the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and
(iii) shall exercise reasonable efforts, at the Company's sole expense, to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will
be accorded to the Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that there shall be no Legal Requirement,
"applicable law," "regulation" or "rule" requiring any party or any of its Representatives to make
any disclosure of any kind solely by virtue of the fact that, absent such disclosure, such person would be prohibited from purchasing,
selling or engaging in voluntary transactions with respect to the securities of the Company or such person would be unable to file any
proxy materials or tender or exchange offer materials in compliance with Section 14 of the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder.

7. Within 10 days following the termination of this letter agreement in accordance with its terms and
at Impactive's option, Impactive and its Representatives shall either promptly (a) destroy or cause to be destroyed the Confidential
Information and any copies thereof or (b) return or cause to be returned to the Company all Confidential Information and any copies
thereof, and in either case, certify in writing to the Company that all such material has been destroyed or returned, as applicable, in
compliance with this letter agreement; *provided*, *however*, that Impactive and its Representatives shall be permitted
to retain Confidential Information (i) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, rule or regulation of any national securities
exchange or other governmental or regulatory authority, professional standards or generally applicable document retention policies of
Impactive or its Representatives or electronic backup and archival procedures maintained in the ordinary course of business or (ii) to
the extent disclosed pursuant to a Legal Requirement. To the extent any Confidential Information is retained pursuant to the preceding
sentence, Impactive and its Representatives shall continue to be bound by the obligations contained herein with respect to such Confidential
Information retained by Impactive or its Representatives for such period of time as Impactive and its Representatives shall possess such
Confidential Information.

8. Impactive agrees that it shall, at Impactive's sole expense, use its commercially reasonable efforts
to undertake all measures necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, court proceedings, (a) to restrain the Representatives
of Impactive from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of any Confidential Information and (b) to safeguard and protect the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information disclosed to Impactive or any of its Representatives and to prevent the use of any Confidential
Information in any way that would violate any applicable law or this letter agreement. Impactive shall notify the Company promptly, in
writing, of any misuse, misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of any Confidential Information which may come to Impactive's
attention. Impactive shall be responsible for any breach of this letter agreement by Impactive and any deemed breach of this letter agreement
by any of Impactive's Representatives and by any other person to whom Impactive discloses any Confidential Information, whether
or not such disclosure is permitted hereunder, as if such Representatives or other persons were parties hereto and had Impactive's
obligations hereunder, and Impactive shall indemnify the Company for all damages arising from the foregoing.

9. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other party would be irreparably injured by an actual breach
of this letter agreement and that monetary remedies would be inadequate to protect such party against any actual or threatened breach
or continuation of any breach of this letter agreement. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to either
party under this letter agreement, the Company and Impactive shall each be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction or otherwise
and specific performance of the provisions hereof upon satisfying the requirements to obtain such relief, without the necessity of posting
a bond or other security, if the other party or any of its Representatives breach or threaten to breach any provision of this letter agreement.
Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for a breach of this letter agreement but shall be in addition to all other
remedies available at law or equity to the non-breaching party.

10. Impactive agrees that (a) none of the Company or its Representatives shall have any liability to
Impactive or any of its Representatives resulting from the selection, use or content of the Confidential Information by Impactive or its
Representatives and (b) none of the Company or its Representatives makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to
the accuracy or completeness of any Confidential Information. This letter agreement shall not create any obligation on the part of the
Company or its Representatives to provide Impactive or its Representatives with any Confidential Information, nor shall it entitle Impactive
or its Representatives to participate in any meeting of the Board or any committee thereof. All Confidential Information shall remain
the property of the Company and its Affiliates. Neither Impactive nor any of its Representatives shall by virtue of any disclosure of,
and/or Impactive's or its Representatives' use of, any Confidential Information acquire any rights with respect thereto; all
such rights shall remain exclusively with the Company and its Affiliates.

11. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this letter agreement and the obligations and restrictions hereunder
shall terminate 15 months from the Departure Date; *provided, however,* that any liability for breach of this letter agreement
prior to termination under this <u>Section 11</u> shall survive such termination.

12. No failure or delay by any party or any of its Representatives in exercising any right, power or privilege
under this letter agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no modification hereof shall be effective, unless in writing and signed
by Impactive and the Company.

13. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision hereof under the laws of any jurisdiction
shall not affect its legality, validity or enforceability under the laws of any other jurisdiction, nor the legality, validity, or enforceability
of any other provision hereof.

14. This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
without giving effect to conflict of laws principles that would require the application of laws of another jurisdiction. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive institution and resolution of any Legal Proceeding with respect to or
arising out of this letter agreement brought by any party hereto in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such Court does
not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or, if jurisdiction is vested exclusively in the federal
courts of the United States, the Federal courts of the United States sitting in the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from any
such state or Federal court. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any
Legal Proceeding with respect to or arising out of this letter agreement in such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives
and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Legal Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such dispute shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suits
on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS LETTER AGREEMENT.

15. In addition, in the event of a Legal Proceeding relating to this letter agreement or the Cooperation Agreement
between the Company and Impactive, if the Impactive Designee incurs any legal or other fees, costs or expenses in her capacity as a deponent,
witness or other nonparty, the breaching party shall promptly, upon demand therefor from the Impactive Designee, reimburse the Impactive
Designee for all such reasonable fees, costs and expenses.

16. Any notice or other communication required or permitted under this letter agreement to the Company or
Impactive shall be provided pursuant to Section 12 of the Cooperation Agreement.

17. Other than the Cooperation Agreement (including the exhibits thereto), this letter agreement constitutes
the only agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this letter agreement supplements,
modifies or amends the standstill restrictions, the entirety of which are contained in Section 3 of the Cooperation Agreement. This letter
agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing executed by the Company and Impactive.

18. This letter agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Except for any assignment to any acquirer of the Company or of all, or substantially all, of the Company's

**WEX and Impactive Capital Announce Cooperation Agreement**

*Company to Nominate Three New Independent Directors – Kurt Adams, Ellen Alemany, and Lauren <br> Taylor Wolfe – for Election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders*

 

*2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders Rescheduled to May 14, 2026*

PORTLAND, Maine, May 4, 2026-- WEX (NYSE: WEX) ("WEX" or the "Company"), a global leader in intelligent payment solutions, today announced that it has entered into a cooperation agreement with Impactive Capital Master Fund LP ("Impactive").

Under the terms of the agreement, WEX and Impactive have established a refreshed slate including three new independent directors – Kurt Adams, Ellen Alemany, and Lauren Taylor Wolfe (the "New Directors") – for election to the WEX Board of Directors (the "Board") at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). In addition to the New Directors, WEX will nominate Daniel Callahan, Aimee Cardwell, David Foss, James Groch, Derrick Roman, Melissa Smith, Stephen Smith and Susan Sobbott. As of the Annual Meeting, the Board will include 11 directors.

In addition, following the Annual Meeting, WEX will separate the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer. Melissa Smith will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer, President, and a member of the Board.

Impactive will withdraw its nomination notice in light of the agreed slate and will support the revised Board at the Annual Meeting. The New Directors will serve on the Board's Nominating and Governance, Leadership Development and Compensation, Technology and Cybersecurity, Finance and Audit Committees. The agreement also contains customary standstill and non-disparagement provisions and voting commitments.

The Company will file additional proxy materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") reflecting the revised slate of 11 director nominees. Shareholders who have voted on Impactive's white proxy card will need to submit new voting instructions on the Company's revised proxy card, which will be distributed to shareholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting. To provide shareholders sufficient time to evaluate the updated materials, the Annual Meeting has been rescheduled to May 14, 2026.

"We are pleased to have reached a resolution with Impactive, which will allow the Board and management team to remain focused on executing our strategy, strengthening the business and positioning WEX for continued long-term growth," said Melissa Smith, CEO of WEX. "This outcome reflects our commitment to constructive dialogue and effective governance. We look forward to working with Kurt, Ellen and Lauren toward our common goal of enhancing value for all shareholders."

"We believe in the strength of WEX's businesses and the Company's opportunity to create meaningful long-term value for shareholders," said Lauren Taylor Wolfe, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Impactive. "The new directors joining the Board bring valuable, complementary skillsets – particularly in the areas of governance, capital allocation and operational efficiency. We are confident these additions will benefit the Company as we work closely with Melissa, the management team and the Board to help WEX realize its full potential. We look forward to supporting the newly composed slate of director nominees at the upcoming Annual Meeting."

The foregoing summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC.
