Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 20, 2026, the Board of Directors of Wealthfront Corporation (the “Company”) approved the repurchase of up to an additional $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s share repurchase program. This authorization is an increase to the existing $100.0 million repurchase authorization, which was originally approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in March 2026, of which approximately $18.3 million remained available as of October 20, 2026.
Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other methods, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at the Company’s discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws, including within the pricing and volume conditions of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular dollar amount or number of shares of common stock and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company expects to fund repurchases with existing cash and cash equivalents and ongoing cash from operations.
