WisdomTree Sends Letter to Stockholders Outlining Board of Directors’ Essential Balance of Skillsets, Expertise and Institutional Knowledge

The Board of Directors of WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today issued a letter urging its stockholders to vote “FOR” all nine highly qualified members of WisdomTree’s Board of Directors on the WHITE proxy card at the upcoming 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 12, 2024.

ETFS Capital Limited is targeting three of WisdomTree’s directors who provide critical strategic vision, skillsets and institutional knowledge that our Board requires to effectively guide WisdomTree’s strategy and create value for stockholders. Six of WisdomTree’s nine directors joined the Board in the past three years and provide fresh perspectives – including the two directors previously nominated by ETFS Capital and elected to the Board. The remaining three directors whom ETFS Capital is targeting provide the right balance of board tenure and deep institutional knowledge that effective boards need to appropriately oversee a company and its performance. Without these three directors, the average director tenure of our Board would be only 1.6 years, which is not conducive to good corporate governance or company performance.

Vote “FOR” all nine director nominees using the WHITE proxy card, including Anthony Bossone, Win Neuger and Jonathan Steinberg, to ensure WisdomTree has the right mix of skillsets, expertise and institutional knowledge to oversee the Company’s growth. Send a message that enough is enough and repudiate ETFS Capital’s campaign to disrupt the Company’s momentum and upward trajectory.

Stockholders can find out more about the proxy vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting by visiting the WisdomTree investor relations website and navigating to the page entitled “2024 Annual Meeting”: https://ir.wisdomtree.com/2024-annual-meeting-proxy-vote.

Fellow WisdomTree stockholders:

As you likely know, WisdomTree (“WisdomTree” or the “Company”) has made extensive changes to its Board composition and corporate governance over the past three years, including refreshing the majority of our directors and fully declassifying the Board. We have engaged extensively with ETFS Capital Limited and, as noted in our two previous letters, have worked meaningfully with this stockholder despite its several efforts to disrupt our progress, while prioritizing the interests of all of the Company’s stockholders. Making further changes to our Board at this time would significantly disrupt the Company’s positive momentum and growth trajectory.
