Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
At the annual meeting of stockholders of WEX Inc. (the "Company") held on June 4, 2021, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "Amended 2019 Plan"), which had previously been adopted by the Company's Board of Directors subject to stockholder approval. The Amended Plan amends and restates the Company's 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "Original 2019 Plan") to state that (i) 4,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, reduced by the number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to awards granted under the Original 2019 Plan between March 21, 2021 and June 4, 2021, will be available for the issuance of new awards under the Amended 2019 Plan after the date of the Annual Meeting, (ii) 1,235,669 shares of the Company's common stock will be reserved for issuance in respect of awards granted under the Original 2019 Plan between May 9, 2019 and March 21, 2021, and (iii) the number of shares of the Company's common stock as is equal to the number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to awards granted under the Company's 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan, which awards expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company pursuant to a contractual repurchase right will be made available for the issuance of awards under the Amended  2019 Plan.
The description of the Amended 2019 Plan contained on pages 82 to 96 of the
Company's Proxy Statement
for the annual meeting of stockholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2021, is incorporated herein by reference. A complete copy of the Amended  2019 Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On June 9, 2021, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to (i) implement a phased-in declassification of the Company's Board of Directors, commencing with the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and resulting in the classified structure being fully phased-out commencing with the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Declassification"), (ii) provide that, effective immediately after the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders when the Board is no longer classified, directors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of capital stock outstanding and then entitled to vote at an election of directors (the "Director Removal"), (iii) remove inoperative provisions and (iv) conform regulatory ownership restrictions to current law.
The Board of Directors previously approved the Amended and Restated By-Laws to make changes conforming to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Declassification and the Director Removal, which Amended and Restated By-Laws were effective immediately following the filing and effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation on June 9, 2021.
As disclosed in Item 5.07 below, the stockholders of the Company voted to approve the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on June 4, 2021.
