Item 8.01    Other Events.
On July 29, 2024, WEX Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan”) to repurchase an aggregate of $300 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, under the Company's existing $1.05 billion amended share repurchase authorization, which was announced in February 2024.

Under the ASR, the Company will make an initial payment of $300 million to JPMorgan and will receive an initial delivery of approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock, based on the $180.44 closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on July 26, 2024 representing approximately 80% of the total shares WEX expects to repurchase under the ASR. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount and subject to customary adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR agreement. The final settlement of the ASR is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter, subject to acceleration at JPMorgan’s discretion.
