WEX Acquires 4,870,130 Shares at $154.00 Per Share

PORTLAND, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 31, 2025-- WEX Inc. (NYSE: WEX), the global commerce platform that simplifies the business of running a business, today announced the final results of its modified “Dutch auction” tender offer, which expired at one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.

Based on the final count by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the tender offer, a total of 4,891,736 shares of WEX’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (each share of WEX’s common stock, a “Share,” and collectively, the “Shares”), were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or below the final purchase price of $154.00 per Share.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer, WEX accepted for purchase a total of 4,870,130 Shares, representing approximately 12.5% of the Shares issued and outstanding as of March 25, 2025, at the final purchase price of $154.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $750,000,000.00, excluding fees and expenses relating to the tender offer.

Because the number of Shares tendered at or below the final purchase price of $154.00 per Share would have exceeded the aggregate purchase price of the tender offer, Shares were accepted for purchase on a pro rata basis, except for tenders of “odd lots,” which were accepted in full, and conditional tenders that were automatically regarded as withdrawn because the condition was not satisfied. WEX has been informed by the depositary that the final proration factor for the tender offer is approximately 99.55%. The depositary will promptly pay for all the Shares accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer and will return all other Shares tendered and not purchased.
