WisdomTree Sends Letter to Stockholders Outlining Board of Directors’ Essential Balance of Skillsets, Expertise and Institutional Knowledge - Seite 2

There is no case for change at WisdomTree – and that includes our Board of Directors. Change for the sake of change isn’t smart – it is destructive. With industry-leading results, including leading Total Stockholder Return (TSR) versus our U.S. publicly traded asset manager peers¹ (the “Publicly Traded Asset Manager Peer Group”) over 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-year time periods, there is zero basis to vote against any of WisdomTree’s directors. Additional change now, when our Company is delivering strong performance and creating value for its stockholders, would serve only as a disruption and hinder the Company’s industry-leading results and upward trajectory.

The WisdomTree Board contains a stable balance of directors with the strategic vision, industry experience, and institutional knowledge critical to guide the Company’s strategy as a leading global financial innovator.

Graham Tuckwell, Chairman of ETFS Capital, is currently campaigning against three directors – the only three directors who have been on the WisdomTree Board for more than four years – Anthony Bossone, Jonathan Steinberg and Win Neuger. Our Board – including the two directors previously nominated by ETFS Capital – unanimously agrees that these directors bring the stability, strategic vision and institutional knowledge critical to overseeing the Company’s strategy and advancing the best interests of all stockholders. The participation of these three directors on the Board provides the support the newer Board members need to familiarize themselves with and gain deeper insights about WisdomTree, its business and its history.

As part of his relentlessly disruptive campaign, Mr. Tuckwell instead believes that the entire Board should be comprised of new directors in his effort to disable the Board and force a sale of the Company. Not only would this be value destructive for our Company and for you, our stockholders, but his efforts to target our longer-tenured directors this year flies in the face of good corporate governance practices. None of the companies in our Publicly Traded Asset Manager Peer Group have a board of directors in which the longest tenured board member has served less than six years – which Mr. Tuckwell proposes happen here – demonstrating the recognized importance of institutional knowledge as an attribute of an effective board. Several of our peers continue to have their co-founders on their boards as well. In fact, the average tenure of WisdomTree’s independent directors is four years, which is lower than the majority of our peers. Without our three longer-tenured directors, the average director tenure of our Board would be only 1.6 years. Changing the Board’s composition and shortening average director tenure serves Mr. Tuckwell’s narrow interests at the expense of all stockholders and good corporate governance.
