Certain statements in this proxy statement, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may appear throughout this report. When used in this proxy statement, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future opportunity,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “would,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially, including: the susceptibility of our industry and the markets addressed by our, and our customers’, products and services to economic downturns, including as a result of widespread illness such as COVID-19; the scope and severity of COVID-19; and risks and uncertainties identified in Item 1A of our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2020. In addition, descriptions of historic performance and performance targets may not be indicative of future performance in light of these risks and uncertainties.

Our nominees to serve as Class III directors this year are:
•
Susan Sobbott
•
Stephen Smith
•
James Groch
Michael Dubyak, Rowland Moriarty, Susan Sobbott, and Stephen Smith currently serve as Class III directors. Susan Sobbott, who has served as a member of our Board since December 2018, and Stephen Smith, who has served as a member of our Board since September 2019, are standing for reelection at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. Michael Dubyak and Rowland Moriarty will retire at the end of their terms and will not be standing for reelection at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. James Groch is a nominee for election as a Class III director for his first term on the Board. Susan Sobbott, Stephen Smith and James Groch have consented to serve a three-year term expiring at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.
The Corporate Governance Committee has recommended Susan Sobbott, Stephen Smith and James Groch.

We recommend a vote

these nominees.
|
|
|
|
FINANCE, ACCOUNTING, OR REPORTING EXPERIENCE
— Directors with an understanding of finance and financial reporting processes are valued on our Board because of the importance we place on accurate financial reporting and robust financial controls and compliance. We also seek to have a number of directors who qualify as audit committee financial experts.
|
|
LEGAL OR REGULATORY EXPERIENCE
— Directors who have had legal or regulatory experience provide insights into addressing significant legal and public policy issues, particularly in areas related to our Company’s business and operations. Because our Company’s business requires compliance with a variety of regulatory requirements across a number of countries, our Board values directors with relevant legal or regulatory experience.
|
|
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND M&A EXPERIENCE
— Directors with a background in business development and in M&A provide insight into developing and implementing strategies for growing our business. Useful experience in this area includes skills in analyzing the “fit” of a proposed acquisition with a company’s strategy, the valuation of transactions, and assessing management’s plans for integration with existing operations.
|
|
MARKETING OR PUBLIC RELATIONS EXPERIENCE
— Directors who have had relevant experience in marketing, brand management, and public relations, especially on a global basis, provide important insights to our Board.
|
|
RISK MANAGEMENT
— Directors with experience overseeing the management of operational and financial risks, including those presented by new, strategic opportunities, provide valuable stewardship.
|
|
GLOBAL OR INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
— Because our Company is a global organization, directors with broad international exposure provide useful business and cultural perspectives. We seek directors who have had relevant experience with multinational companies or in international markets.
|
|
LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
— We believe that directors who have held significant leadership positions over an extended period, especially CEO positions, provide the Company with unique insights. These people generally possess extraordinary leadership qualities, and the ability to identify and develop those qualities in others. They demonstrate a practical understanding of organizations, processes, strategy and risk management, and know how to drive change and growth.
|
|
TECHNOLOGY EXPERIENCE
— As a technology company and leading innovator, we seek directors with backgrounds in technology because our success depends on developing, investing in and protecting new technologies and ideas. We also target directors who can help guide the Company in advancing our strategy into new payment industries.
|
|
INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
— We seek directors with experience in the payments industry generally and fleet, travel and healthcare payments specifically.

Build the best-in-class growth engine.
We seek to drive organic growth across our segments by maintaining a continual focus on go-to-market effectiveness. We achieve this through superior product capability, sales and marketing productivity, and disciplined revenue management practices. During 2019, we experienced significant revenue growth in each of our segments. Additionally, WEX was recognized by Fortune Magazine in its 2019 list of the 100 fastest growing publicly traded companies. Our organic growth is complemented by our acquisition strategy, which brings further scale and differentiation to our offerings. In January 2019, we closed the acquisition of Noventis, Inc., which expands our reach as a corporate payments supplier and provides more channels to billing aggregators and financial institutions. In February 2019, we acquired Pavestone Capital, a recourse factoring company that provides working capital to businesses. This acquisition complements our existing fleet factoring business.
In March 2019, we closed the acquisition of Discovery Benefits, Inc., an employee benefits administrator that provides our partners and customers with a more comprehensive suite of products and services and opens go-to-market channels to include consulting firms and brokers. In July 2019, we closed the acquisition of Go Fuel Card, strengthening our position in the European fuel market.
|
|
•
|
Cement a reputation for flawless execution.
We stand apart in our segments by reliably delivering the best solutions to our partners and customers. We are continually optimizing our customer service and cost structure, and capturing new revenue synergies across our lines of business. Gains in operational efficiency simplify our business, making us more nimble to meet customer needs and capture market opportunities as they arise.
|
|
•
|
Invest in our people.
We prioritize our ability to attract, develop, and retain top-tier talent across all lines and support functions of our business. The Company was certified as a Great Place to Work® in the U.S. in 2019 for the third consecutive year and was named #4 on Vault.com’s “100 Best Internships of 2020” list. The Company has continued to expand its Employee Resource Groups across the globe, currently counting seven groups with over 250 active members and allies.
|
|
•
|
Lead through superior technology.
As our markets evolve, our ability to deliver superior technological solutions continues to set us apart from our peers. We continue to develop innovative technological capabilities to accelerate our digital transformation and differentiate ourselves in the marketplace. The Company’s continued focus on building new capabilities in the cloud and transitioning existing platforms to cloud environments reflects our Cloud First development strategy and positions us well for future growth. During 2019, we successfully migrated our North American fleet technology platform to a secure private cloud. In addition, we continue to migrate our U.S. travel operations onto an internal cloud-based virtual card platform that we acquired as part of the AOC acquisition. We expect that these moves will allow us to improve performance, stability and scalability, increase the pace of product development and deliver cost savings. Investment in technological innovation with a focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning has yielded results through expanded reporting, analysis and fraud detection capabilities. We expect continued development of enterprise-wide data management tools and investment in artificial intelligence and machine learning to continue to drive innovation across the Company.

What We Do
|
|
What We Don’t Do
|
|
•
Directly link pay to performance outcomes, operational results and stockholder returns
•
Link incentive plan performance measures to short- and mid-term operating objectives and delivery of long-term value to stockholders
•
Target total direct compensation (base/cash bonus/long-term incentives) within a competitive range of the market median
•
Maintain a cap on CEO and other NEO incentive compensation payouts for short-term incentive plan (STIP) and PSU awards (200% of target)
•
Have stock ownership guidelines for NEOs, including a retention requirement until stock ownership guidelines are achieved
•
Provide double-trigger change-in-control severance benefits
•
Review share utilization annually
•
Devote time to management succession and leadership development efforts
•
Use an independent compensation consultant
•
Anti-hedging policy
•
Anti-pledging policy
•
Clawback policy
|
|
•
No payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on unearned RSUs or PSUs
•
No excise tax gross-ups upon a change-in-control
•
No re-pricing of underwater stock options without stockholder approval
•
No excessive severance or change-in-control benefits
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Generally, we target total direct compensation (salary/cash bonus/long-term incentives) within a competitive range of the market median.
|
|
•
|
Pay will vary above or below target based primarily on corporate and business unit and, to a lesser degree individual, quantitative performance outcomes.

Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”)
Payout can range from 0-200% of target based on financial goals:
1. Compensation Adjusted Operating Income (60%) and
2. Compensation Adjusted Revenue (40%)
For NEOs leading a business unit, corporate goals are weighted 40% and business unit goals are weighted 60%.
The funded payout may be adjusted for each NEO through an individual performance modifier, down to 75% or up to 125%, with no payout greater than 200% of target. The adjustment is made based on an assessment of performance versus pre-defined, often quantitative individual goals. The Committee has further discretion to eliminate any funded bonus payout at its discretion, should circumstance warrant.
|
STIP funding was 85.6% of target, on an overall corporate basis, based on objective performance against predefined enterprise-wide quantitative goals.
Individual modifiers (±) were applied to NEO STIP payments for 2019, ranging from 95% to 114%, or -5% to +14%, based on success versus pre-defined individual goals. For the NEO group, this increased net STIP funding to 98.8% of target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”)
Our target long-term incentive mix during 2019 for our CEO was 60% PSUs, 25% Stock Options, and 15% RSUs; target mix for our other NEOs, was 60% PSUs, 20% options and 20% RSUs.
PSUs:
•
Payout can range from 0-200% of target with cliff vesting on third anniversary of grant
•
3-year performance period based on cumulative corporate financial goals Compensation Adjusted Net Income Earnings Per Share (60%), and Compensation Revenue (40%)
Stock Options:
•
3-year ratable vesting requirement
•
Reward long-term stockholder value creation
RSUs:
•
3-year ratable vesting requirement
•
Reward long-term stockholder value creation and encourage retention
|
PSUs granted in 2017 with a performance period of 2017-2019 paid out at 200% of target, based on objective performance against predefined enterprise-wide quantitative goals.
The Compensation Revenue metric recognizes the importance of revenue diversification for our business, given the impact that volatile fuel prices may have on our business results.

Basic severance benefit is payable in the case of the executive officer resigning for “good reason” or if the executive officer is terminated “without cause,” each as defined in the WEX Inc. Executive Severance Pay and Change in Control Plan.
|
|
(2)
|
“Change in Control” means, in summary: (i) an acquisition of 50 percent or more of either the then-outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company excluding certain specified acquisitions; (ii) a change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who constitute the Board at that point in time cease to constitute a majority of the Board; (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the acquisition of shares or assets of another company excluding certain specified transactions; or (iv) the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. If an executive terminates and receives benefits under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan and 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan, and then is rehired, subsequent benefits may not be paid and/or reimbursement of a portion of benefits already paid can be required.
|
|
(3)
|
Upon a “Change in Control” of the Company, if the surviving entity does not agree to assume the obligations set forth in the equity award agreement, then the equity award shall become immediately and fully vested, subject to any terms and conditions set forth in the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan and 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan or imposed by the Committee.
|
|
(4)
|
In connection with any separation of employment by an executive officer, the officer shall execute and not timely revoke a separation agreement and release, in a form acceptable to the Company, in order to receive the basic severance and/or change in control severance benefits described. Each separation agreement shall include terms relating to non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement and non-disclosure, as well as a release of claims. To the extent there is a violation of the restrictions or obligations in the separation agreement, the Company may cease future payments, obtain injunctive or other equitable relief or seek reimbursement of previously paid amounts, as well as any other remedies available to the Company under the WEX Inc. Executive Severance Pay and Change in Control Plan or applicable law.
|
|
(5)
|
Each of the executive officers has agreed to provisions which restrict the executive officer from performing any acts which advance the interests of any existing or prospective competitors of WEX during the period specified above.
|
|
(6)
|
Each of the executive officers has agreed to provisions which restrict the executive officer from soliciting customers or employees to terminate their relationship with the Company.
|
|
(7)
|
Each of the executive officers has agreed to provisions which restrict the executive officer from making any statements or performing any acts intended or reasonably calculated to advance the interest of any existing or prospective competitor or in any way to injure the interests of or disparage the Company.
|
|
(8)
|
Each of the executive officers has agreed to provisions which restrict the executive from disclosing confidential information as defined in the agreement.

The 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan permits the award of incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSUs, director awards, other stock-based and cash-based awards and performance awards. The 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan authorizes a number of shares for issuance equal to the sum of (i) 3,700,000 shares of common stock and (ii) such additional number of shares of common stock (up to 1,501,676) as is equal to (a) the number of shares of the common stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan that remained available for grant under that plan immediately prior to May 9, 2019 and (b) the number of shares of common stock subject to awards granted under the Company’s 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan, which awards expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right. To the extent a share that is subject to an award granted under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan that counted as 1.53 shares against such plan’s share reserve is made available for the award of future grants under the 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan, the share reserve of the 2019 Plan will be credited with 1.53 shares. Otherwise, each share of common stock subject to an award under the Prior Plan that becomes available for grant under the 2019 Plan will increase the 2019 Plan’s share reserve by one share. Under the 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan, any award of restricted stock, RSU, or other stock-based award with a per share price or per unit purchase price lower than 100% of the fair market value per share of common stock on the date of grant shall be counted against share limits as 1.7 shares for each one share of applicable award. The Board may not make new awards under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan.
