On January 10, 2026, Shikhar Ghosh and Jack VanWoerkom each notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of WEX Inc. (the “Company”) that they intend to retire from the Board effective as of the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), and will therefore not stand for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Neither Mr. Ghosh’s nor VanWoerkom’s decision to retire was the result of any disagreement relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Subsequently, the Board voted that, effective as of the Annual Meeting, the number of seats on the Board will be reduced from twelve (12) to ten (10).

The Board has determined that David Foss will assume the roles of Vice Chair and Lead Independent Director following Mr. VanWoerkom’s retirement. Mr. Foss will receive additional compensation for his service as Lead Independent Director consistent with the Company’s non-employee director compensation program.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information in this item, including Exhibit 99.1, is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or otherwise subject to the liability of such section. Furthermore, the information in this item shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified as being incorporated by reference.
