Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Impactive Capital filed a definitive proxy statement and WHITE universal proxy card seeking election of three director nominees to the WEX board to pursue governance change and a turnaround. Impactive argues WEX has underperformed peers on Total Shareholder Return and criticizes the combined CEO/Chair role and certain ROIC calculations.

The solicitation emphasizes replacing directors with nominees Ellen Alemany, Lauren Taylor Wolfe, and Kurt Adams to address capital allocation, regulatory oversight, and board independence; it directs shareholders to vote the WHITE proxy card and to review materials at www.WakeUpWex.com.

Insights

An activist proxy campaign targets board structure, accountability, and capital allocation.

Impactive argues WEX’s combined CEO/Chair role and capital-allocation practices correlate with multi-year underperformance, citing Total Shareholder Return comparisons and alternative ROIC calculations. The presentation emphasizes replacing directors to improve oversight, add banking/regulatory experience, and realign incentives.

Impact depends on shareholder support at the 2026 annual meeting; subsequent disclosures will show voting outcomes and any board responses. Timing is tied to the solicitation and the Annual Meeting.

Impactive’s campaign frames the contest as corrective governance rather than a narrow personnel dispute.

The materials stress TSR shortfalls (multiple comparative charts) and highlight alleged methodological issues in WEX’s ROIC reporting. Nominees are presented to address bank oversight, regulatory experience, and industry-specific operating gaps.

Key dependencies include shareholder vote results and whether incumbent directors or management provide counter-evidence; filings and vote tallies will clarify eventual governance changes.

Total Shareholder Return (TSR) financial
"WEX Total Shareholder Return versus Proxy Peers and Index"
Total shareholder return (TSR) measures how much an investment in a company's stock has grown over a specific period by combining the change in the share price and all dividends paid, expressed as a percentage. Think of it like tracking the total balance of a savings jar that increases both from added cash (dividends) and a rising sticker price on the jar (share price); investors use TSR to compare how well different stocks or managers deliver real, money-in-hand returns.
ROIC financial
"WEX’s calculation of ROIC is incorrect"
Return on invested capital (ROIC) measures how well a company turns the money it uses to run and grow the business into profit, expressed as a percentage. Think of it like how much fruit a tree yields for each seed and watering dollar invested: higher ROIC means management is extracting more value from each dollar put into the company. Investors use it to compare how efficiently different companies deploy capital and whether returns justify the risk of holding the stock.

Impactive’s focus is on the facts , the numbers, and what matters to shareholders. We will leave the personal attacks and innuendos to WEX. That is why in this presentation we are not seeking to rebut every point the Company has published – but rather prioritize addressing the most egregious misrepresentations while setting the record straight for shareholders. Our campaign’s strategic objective is to launch a turnaround at WEX that will reverse years of underperformance and help the Company reach its full value potential .

Board change is needed because WEX has dramatically and persistently underperformed peers, generating bottom decile returns under the current Chair and CEO. 1 The WEX Board’s response to shareholder concerns has been insufficient. Shareholders would be better served with separate CEO & Chair roles and greater shareholder alignment in the boardroom. Impactive’s nominees are the best candidates to effectuate the change that’s needed. Impactive’s Campaign is Simple 4 1.

WEX Annualized TSR, 2014 – Present, is based on annualized shareholder returns from 1/2/2014 through 2/6/2026, the last trading day before Impactive nominated candidates for the WEX Board. WEX fails to understand that capital has a cost, confirming the need for a shareholder representative on the Board and an independent Chair to oversee the data that the Board receives. WEX ROIC ex - costs GAAP ROIC WEX’s ROIC ignores the fact it owns a bank… … and excludes real expenses WEX’s calculation of ROIC is incorrect : • It ignores the fact that WEX owns a bank , which i s a real use of capital to shareholders. • A “proper calculation” does not include “addbacks” that are real costs - depreciation of PP&E, amortization of intangible assets, stock - based compensation, “other non - recurring expenses” - noticeably higher at WEX than at CPAY . • If WEX’s ROIC was actually similar to CPAY’s as claimed, WEX’s TSR would not be 45 points below CPAY’s since CEO/Chair roles combined .

 
 

WEX WEX Attempts to Mask Underperformance by Downplaying its Comparability to Corpay 9 CPAY’s outperformance in so - called “noncomparable” businesses is the direct result of superior capital allocation and operating decisions. Unsurprisingly, WEX underperformance versus CPAY has widened since the CEO & Chair roles were combined. • Four out of five of the industry - wide headwinds WEX listed also impact CPAY, which has still outperformed . • The “Business model transition of an OTA customer” is not an industry - wide headwind. It is a WEX - specific re - pricing event at an eNett customer 2 that the Board failed to identify during M&A due diligence . • Even the report from Jefferies 2 cited by WEX reveals that WEX’s growth significantly lags CPAY on any framework despite a significant ramp in Sales & Marketing investment over the past year.

Companies that Perform Don’t Fabricate a New Set of “Performance Peers” Every Year Source: WEX SEC filings. 10 uses a “shell game” of arbitrary and changing peers to avoid holding management accountable . uses a list of peers that is consistent with industry standards , comparing WEX shareholder returns to its own self - selected proxy peers, its two most direct competitors, and the market index. The Board ’s use of a moving target of cherry - picked “peers”, rather than a consistent Proxy Peer group, to avoid holding the CEO accountable underscores the need for enhanced oversight and independence in the boardroom. WEX IMPACTIVE “Performance Peers” tripled from 2024 to 2025 to include non - competitive companies.

WEX Ramp “Conflict of Interest” Critique Is a Red Herring Source: WEX SEC filings 12 • The Form 10 - K that WEX filed on February 13, 2026, contains a comprehensive list of more than two dozen competitors … but WEX has never identified Ramp as a competitor in this filing, any prior SEC filings, or past public investor presentations. • Five weeks after its SEC filed 10 - K, WEX’s April 2026 presentation claims that Ramp is not only a competitor, it is a “ principal competitor .” • Both of these statements cannot be true… • Ms. Taylor Wolfe’s husband has a minority interest in two funds managed by Lux Capital, a venture capital firm, that together own less than 1% of Ramp’s shares. His estimated total investment is less than $1 million. • This stake is completely passive, irrelevant to Ms. Taylor Wolfe’s ability to carry out her duties as a director, and far les s material than Impactive’s significant stake in WEX. How does WEX jump from never once identifying Ramp as a competitor in any filing to calling it a “principal competitor” just five weeks later? ? THE TRUTH This claim appears to be a last - minute defense tactic to manufacture a conflict of interest that does not exist.

 
 

WEX Should Focus on Its Own Potential Conflicts 13 Susan Sobbott Daniel Callahan O wned approximately 35,000 shares of AMEX , worth $3.5 million, according to a 1/2018 Form 4 filing (which may exclude unvested shares ). Joined the WEX Board in 2018. Owned 291,000 shares of Citigroup common stock and 4,170 shares of Citi 6.3% Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series S, worth over $22 million, according to his 2018 Form 4 and 2018 Citigroup Proxy statement on form DEF 14A. Joined WEX Board in 2019. American Express and Citi were identified by WEX as competitors consistently for years . • WEX Board members Daniel Callahan and Susan Sobbott have had long careers at American Express and Citi, owned significant stakes in Citi and Amex when they joined WEX’s board, and presumably still own shares in those companies. • The Board should disclose the process by which it evaluated the potential anti - competitive effects of Sobbott’s and Callahan’s holdings in those companies when they joined the WEX Board .

WEX’s Other Criticisms of Ms. Taylor Wolfe’s Candidacy Lack Merit and Only Serve to Distract from Underperformance 14 Reality WEX Board Claim x Ms. Taylor Wolfe always conducted herself with integrity and the best interest of all shareholders in mind. We have “not responded on the substance of these findings” because there is no substance to respond to, or findings, only vague innuendo from unname d sources. x Ms. Taylor Wolfe has sat on two public company boards. Envestnet Chairman, Jim Fox, asked to join her WEX Nominee slate and H D Supply Chairman Joe DeAngelo described her as “an exceptional board member.” x When the Board was offered Impactive Co - Founder Christian Asmar as an alternative, the Vice - Chair and Lead Independent Director seemingly rejected him without any consideration. It seems the Company’s true objections are to oversight and accountability generally, not Ms. Taylor Wolfe specifically. Ms. Taylor Wolfe’s “Questionable” Conduct x WEX falsely claimed that Impactive had an affirmative responsibility to reach out to the FDIC and UDFI where no such duty exi sts in a proxy solicitation like this one that does not involve a “change of control.” x WEX has gone to great lengths expending shareholder capital to try to stir a bank regulatory issue that it knows is irrelevan t t o Impactive’s proxy solicitation; all to further entrench longstanding directors and disingenuously build a narrative. x It is WEX’s current Board, not Impactive, that has displayed inattention to regulatory oversight — they’re subject to an FDIC cons ent order. No one on the Board or management has been held accountable for an FDIC consent order outstanding since 2022; in fact, CEO Sm ith has received $48mm in total compensation as this order has remained unresolved. x Impactive is cooperating fully with regulators and has no reason to believe any “change in control” application or notice wil l b e required. x Nominee Ellen Alemany brings deep banking and regulatory experience that’s highly relevant to proper Board oversight of WEX B ank . Lack of Attention to Regulation x We have owned several positions since inception 8 years ago, demonstrating extreme patience and a long time horizon. x To our knowledge, this is the first time an active shareholder has been attacked for owning a stock too long before demanding ch ange. x We are committed to realizing full value for all shareholders at WEX. Time Horizon This Board’s comfort with misleading, ad hominem, and counter - productive attacks illustrates Board entrenchment and fealty to management over fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders.

If WEX’s Claims Were True, then Shareholders Would Have Seen Better Results 18 Reality WEX Board Claims 1 x Since Ms. Smith began her tenure as CEO at the beginning of 2014, WEX has delivered 4% annual returns to shareholders. x Management’s focus on topline growth even when acquired with shareholder money is understandable, as Ms. Smith’s own compensation grew significantly despite delivering sub - market returns . x Shareholders aren’t paid on acquired growth, transactions, or SaaS accounts. They are paid on real profit, FCF and returns. ✘ “ Since Ms. Smith began her tenure as CEO at the beginning of 2014, WEX has delivered significant growth ” x In the last 10 years WEX has underperformed CPAY by 50%; i f WEX’s ROIC were truly comparable and growth was truly better, this would not be the case. x Cherry - picking dates, and specific metrics (and different metrics for different dates) does not change the plain fact that management has both underperformed and not been held accountable. ✘ “Our ROIC is comparable to Corpay ”… “ in the last ten years…WEX has outpaced Corpay’s growth ”, x Since Ms. Smith assumed her role as Chair/CEO, WEX has underperformed HQY by 60%. x Cherry - picking dates and specific metrics (and different metrics for different dates) does not change the plain fact that management has both underperformed and not been held accountable. x Shareholders aren’t paid on acquired growth or saas accounts. They are paid on real profit, free cash flow, and returns. ✘ “ We Have Outgrown Our Closest Peer in Benefits ”; [We have grown] “SaaS accounts faster than our most direct Benefits peer” x WEX is taking credit for overpaying for assets and then adjusting out the cost of those assets to claim that its EBITDA exceeded our 2022 forecast – we did not anticipate WEX could do M&A this badly. x Since 2022 WEX has generated 0% return; that WEX finds this result something to boast about is yet another reason to vote for a shareholder in the boardroom. x Since 2022, despite claiming $110mm of run rate savings, SG&A is up $61 million. ✘ We Exceeded Impactive’s Upside 2025 EBITDA case from 2022 1.

If WEX’s Claims Were True, then Shareholders Would Have Seen Better Results (cont’d) 19 Reality WEX Board Claims 1 x If management wishes to be paid like executives at their proxy peers, they need to be judged against those peers. x The Board’s willingness to re - engineer an expanded, changing group of “performance peers” to justify management’s compensation suggests the Board prioritizes its relationship with management over its obligation to shareholders . x This dynamic underscores the need for enhanced oversight and independence in the boardroom. “Outperformed the median of our 2025 and 2024 Performance Peers ” x If the headwinds are industry wide, rather than management led, why has WEX underperformed its proxy peers by ~350% since the CEO took over? x Four out of five of the industry - wide headwinds WEX cites also impact CPAY, which grows 2x to 3x as fast with double the margins. “We Have Faced Industry - Wide Headwinds.. But We Have Taken Decisive Action to Address Those Challenges” x WEX’s board waited 3 years to act on this value enhancing idea, and then only acted after public pressure. x WEX cites its reliance on the expertise of two independent global investment firms but refuses to share the basis for its conclusions … RELEASE THE FILES! x Shareholders paid for the business review from Bank of America and J.P. Morgan but the numbers don’t add up and the Board won’t show its work. “The Board conducted a comprehensive portfolio assessment” and concluded the businesses are stronger together x Paying the CEO and team only if the share price doubles creates shareholder alignment , a necessary step when the management team lacks enough confidence in its own strategy to refrain from regularly selling its shares. Impactive’s CEO “mega - grant” proposal would dilute shareholders and undermine our pay - for - performance framework x YES, EXACTLY ! That strategy and execution led to bottom decile returns… shareholders deserve better ! x These longstanding directors represent a troubling concentration of power and conflicts by virtue of interrelationships and a seeming unwillingness to hold management accountable for performance. x While the Board presents the veneer of refreshment, it has in fact entrenched itself by coalescing around incumbents who have overseen more than five years of underperformance. x WEX claims good faith settlement efforts, but every offer preserved the exact governance structure shareholders already voted against in 2025. The board has offered seat - level compromise without any structural concession. “Electing Impactive’s candidates would result in the removal of our Chair/CEO and two Committee Chairs who played a vital role in guiding strategy and execution” 1.
