2010 Wright Express Corporation 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan
On May 21, 2010, at the annual meeting of stockholders of Wright Express Corporation (the “Company”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Wright Express Corporation 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), which had previously been adopted by the Company’s board of directors subject to stockholder approval. Following stockholder approval of the 2010 Plan, on May 21, 2010, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the 2010 Plan.

The 2010 Plan replaced the Company’s 2005 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which was scheduled to expire on July 27, 2007. No further awards will be made under the 2005 Plan.
