WEX (NYSE: WEX), a global leader in intelligent payment solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program under which up to $1 billion, plus any transaction expenses and excise taxes incurred, worth of WEX’s common stock may be repurchased.

“Our $1 billion share repurchase authorization reflects our Board’s conviction in the intrinsic value of our stock and commitment to returning capital to shareholders and further underscores our strong free cash flow and financial capacity. We remain focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet, investing for long-term growth and returning capital to shareholders,” said Melissa Smith, WEX’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Under the new share repurchase authorization, the Company may buy back stock on a discretionary basis from time to time through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, derivative transactions, issuer self-tender offers or otherwise. The timing and amount of any transaction is subject to WEX’s discretion based upon, among other things, market conditions and other opportunities that the Company may have for the use or investment of its cash balances. In addition, repurchases are subject to the availability of shares of stock for purchase, prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s stock, and the Company’s financial performance, among other things. The repurchase program does not obligate WEX to acquire any specific number of shares, has no expiration date and may be modified, discontinued, or suspended at any time. WEX currently intends that all instructions for the repurchase of shares under this program shall be in compliance with Rule 10b-18 as required or deemed appropriate and the covenants or provisions of any debt or other obligations then outstanding.
