Impactive Capital Master Fund LP and affiliates, holding approximately 4.9% of WEX Inc., have filed a definitive proxy statement to elect three director nominees at the 2026 annual meeting scheduled for May 5, 2026. Impactive contends that the WEX Board has failed to exercise adequate oversight, contributed to persistent underperformance, and created a widening valuation gap compared to competitor Corpay. The activist is soliciting proxies on a WHITE universal proxy card for nominees Kurt Adams, Ellen Alemany, and Lauren Taylor Wolfe, citing the need for board change to improve governance, operational execution, and capital allocation.
