WisdomTree Urges Stockholders to Repudiate ETFS Capital’s Self-Serving Demands for a Strategic Review. There is No Case for Change – Enough is Enough
Vote “FOR” All Nine of WisdomTree’s Highly Qualified Director Nominees on WHITE proxy card
NEW YORK: WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today published a comprehensive presentation for stockholders ahead of WisdomTree’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 12, 2024. The presentation is available here on WisdomTree’s investor relations website.
The presentation outlines the disciplined execution of WisdomTree’s stated strategic plan to deliver record assets under management (“AUM”), as well as the Company’s continued organic growth and operating margin expansion – all of which are generating significant value for stockholders.
Our Board of Directors regularly reviews and evaluates the Company’s performance and is always open to value-maximizing opportunities. However, ETFS Capital’s demand for an independent strategic review appears to be motivated by a desire to liquidate its position in the Company, which is entirely self-serving and not in the best interests of all stockholders. WisdomTree’s stock price is up almost 40% year-to-date due to its strong financial results and ETFS Capital’s demands would sacrifice the Company’s long-term growth potential.
WisdomTree’s execution and success are highlighted in its presentation, summarized below:
The presentation also provides an in-depth review of WisdomTree’s refreshed and diverse Board, including the invaluable skillsets, expertise and institutional knowledge the Company’s longer-tenured directors bring to the successful oversight of WisdomTree.
Vote “FOR” all nine director nominees using the WHITE proxy card, including Anthony Bossone, Win Neuger and Jonathan Steinberg. Send a message that enough is enough and repudiate ETFS Capital’s self-serving campaign to disrupt WisdomTree’s positive momentum and trajectory.
