SEC Filing

Impactive Capital Master Fund LP and related entities filed a DFAN14A on April 20, 2026, nominating three director candidates (Lauren Taylor Wolfe, Ellen R. Alemany, and Kurt P. Adams) to the WEX Inc. board. The activist argues WEX has delivered only 4% annualized TSR since 2014 under CEO Melissa Smith, dramatically underperforming peers CPAY and HQY and the S&P 400 Index. Impactive's campaign objectives include separating the CEO and Chair roles, improving capital allocation, and increasing shareholder accountability.
