Sources

Impactive Capital, holding approximately 4.9% of WEX Inc., has filed a definitive proxy statement to elect three director nominees—Lauren Taylor Wolfe, Kurt Adams, and Ellen R. Alemany—at the 2026 annual meeting. Glass Lewis endorsed two of Impactive's nominees and recommended withholding votes from CEO/Chair Melissa Smith and Compensation Committee Chair Stephen Smith, citing sustained underperformance and governance concerns. Impactive's campaign focuses on enhanced board oversight, improved capital allocation, and separation of the CEO and Chair roles.
