    We have engaged with you in good faith and accommodated many of your requests over the past two years: (1) we added two new Board members you proposed, (2) declassified our Board, and (3) formed a special committee of the Board to review the cost structure, margins and strategy of our entire business, including digital assets. After a thorough and deliberate review, the special committee found no reason to change our course and our Board unanimously reaffirmed support for our CEO and our strategy and plan for stockholder value creation.

    In 2023, we successfully defended against your proxy contest at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in which you tried to replace three of our Board nominees with three of your own, including yourself. Our stockholders voted to elect five of our six nominees, while rejecting your own candidacy, and approved a stockholder rights plan to protect our Company from your activism campaign.

    We are highly focused on corporate governance and, over the past three years, have substantially refreshed our Board, adding key additional experience and perspective, and rotated all committee chair positions. We have a diverse, independent and highly qualified Board that oversees WisdomTree’s strategy and performance with the best interests of all stockholders in mind. Currently, two of our nine Board members were nominated by you in connection with your 2022 and 2023 activism campaigns, respectively. One sits on all three Board committees and chairs the Audit Committee and the other, who joined the Board in June 2023, is an active member of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

    We believe that your letter presents an inaccurate picture of WisdomTree’s performance, strategy and value proposition.

    For example, while you claim that we should provide more visibility into current initiatives, we publicly provide detailed KPIs and set the highest standard for shareholder transparency. Your claim that management’s approach to shareholder communications does not resonate with investors is contradicted by the fact that, as the chart attached illustrates, WisdomTree’s total stockholder return (TSR) has significantly outperformed its relevant peers over each of the most recent 1, 2, 3 and 4-year time periods. WisdomTree’s stock price also has surpassed its 52-week high, and nears its 5-year high.
