NEW YORK, May 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ETFS Capital Limited (“ETFS Capital”), the largest combined owner of common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), and Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) of WisdomTree, Inc. (“WisdomTree” or the “Company”) (NYSE: WT), with ownership of approximately 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, which together with its Series A Preferred Stock would represent approximately 18% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock on an as-converted basis, today published a presentation detailing its analysis that WisdomTree trades at a significant discount to the value of its core ETF business, and concludes that the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) must run a truly independent strategic review process with a reputable bank to evaluate all options to unlock value for stockholders.

“We became the largest stockholder in WisdomTree because we had faith in the Company and its future.
However, we and all stockholders have been badly let down by the Company’s management and Board.
We believe that with the proper leadership and attention to the core ETF business, the Company could unlock the significant value trapped within its shares.

We have tried repeatedly to work constructively and privately with the Board, but they would rather rage than engage. We don’t want to run a proxy contest; we just want a truly independent strategic review of the Company on how best to maximize value for stockholders. What exactly is the Board afraid of?” said ETFS Capital’s Chairman, Mr. Graham Tuckwell.
