The company expects to purchase approximately 4.9 million shares at a price of $154 per share, totaling an aggregate cost of $744.6 million.

The company has also announced plans to launch the tender offer on February 26, 2025, contingent upon securing at least $750 million in debt financing. Analysts have noted that this move is part of WEX's broader strategy to strengthen its financial position and drive long-term growth.
