set forth in the Stockholder Rights Agreement, dated March&nbsp;14, 2022, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer&nbsp;&amp; Trust Company, as Rights Agent (the &#147;Rights Agreement&#148;). The following description of the terms of the
Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement, the Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of (i)&nbsp;one Preferred Stock
Purchase Right (a &#147;Right&#148;) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;) and (ii) 1,000 Rights for each outstanding share of Series A
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Voting</FONT> Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the &#147;Series A Preferred Stock&#148;), to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March&nbsp;25, 2022 (the
&#147;Record Date&#148;). In addition, one Right will automatically attach to each share of Common Stock and 1,000 Rights will automatically attach to each share of Series A Preferred Stock, in each case, issued between the Record Date and the
earlier of the Distribution Date (as defined below) and the expiration date of the Rights. Each Right entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ten-thousandth</FONT>
of a share (a &#147;Unit&#148;) of Series&nbsp;B Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the &#147;Preferred Stock&#148;) at a cash exercise price of $27.00 per Unit (the &#147;Exercise
Price&#148;), subject to adjustment, under certain conditions specified in the Rights Agreement and summarized below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Initially, the
Rights are not exercisable and are attached to and trade with all shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of, and issued subsequent to, the Record Date. The Rights will separate from the Common Stock and Series A Preferred
Stock and will become exercisable upon the earlier of (i)&nbsp;the close of business on the tenth calendar day following the first public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an &#147;Acquiring Person&#148;) has
acquired beneficial ownership of 10% (or 20% in the case of a person or group which, together with all affiliates and associates of such person or group, is the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock of the Company representing less than 20% of

date of such announcement being referred to as the &#147;Stock Acquisition Date&#148;), or (ii)&nbsp;the close of business on the tenth business day (or such later day as the Board of Directors may determine) following the commencement of a tender
offer or exchange offer that could result upon its consummation in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being herein referred to as the &#147;Distribution Date&#148;). A person or group who beneficially owned 10%
or more (or 20% or more in the case of passive stockholders) of the Company&#146;s outstanding Common Stock prior to the first public announcement by the Company of the adoption of the Rights Agreement will not trigger the Rights Agreement so long
as they do not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional shares of Common Stock at a time when they still beneficially own 10% or more (or 20% or more in the case of passive stockholders) of such Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions as
set forth in the Rights Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For purposes of the Rights Agreement, beneficial ownership is defined to include ownership of

whether or not such holder has exercised the Subscription Right. Rights that are or were beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person may (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) become null and void. </P>

deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors) by the Board of Directors only until the earlier of (i)&nbsp;the time at which any person becomes an Acquiring Person or (ii)&nbsp;the expiration date of the Rights Agreement. Immediately upon the action

including the right to vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to stockholders or to the Company, stockholders may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the
Rights become exercisable for shares of Common Stock, other securities of the Company, other consideration or for common stock of an acquiring company. </P>

contingent. Among those characteristics are that it be: (i)&nbsp;a fully financed <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-cash</FONT> tender offer or an exchange offer offering shares of common stock of the offeror, or a combination thereof, for any
and all of the Common Stock; (ii)&nbsp;an offer whose per share offer price and consideration represent a &#147;reasonable premium&#148; over the highest reported per share market price of the Common Stock in the 24 months immediately preceding the
date on which the offer is commenced; (iii)&nbsp;an offer that, within 20 business days after the commencement date of the offer (or within 10 business days after any increase in the offer consideration), does not result in a nationally recognized
investment banking firm retained by the Board rendering an opinion to the Board that the consideration being offered to the holders of the Common Stock is either inadequate or unfair; and (iv)&nbsp;an offer that is otherwise in the best interests of
the Company&#146;s stockholders. The Rights Agreement provides additional characteristics necessary for an acquisition offer to be deemed a &#147;Qualifying Offer,&#148; including if the consideration offered in a proposed transaction is stock of

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the rights plan, WisdomTree declared a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right on each outstanding share of the Company&#146;s
common stock and 1,000 preferred share purchase rights on each outstanding share of the Company&#146;s Series A <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Voting</FONT> Convertible Preferred Stock. The record date for the dividend distribution is
March&nbsp;25, 2022. Initially, the rights will not be exercisable and will trade with the shares of WisdomTree common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. The rights generally will become exercisable if a person or group becomes an &#147;acquiring
person&#148; by acquiring 10% (or 20% in the case of passive stockholders) or more of the common stock of WisdomTree (which includes stock subject to a derivative transaction or an acquired derivative security) or if a person or group commences a
tender offer that could result in that person or group becoming an &#147;acquiring person.&#148; If a person or group becomes an &#147;acquiring person,&#148; each holder of a right (other than the acquiring person) would be entitled to purchase, at
the then-current exercise price, such number of shares of common stock (or, subject to the terms of the rights plan, shares of preferred stock that are equivalent to shares of WisdomTree common stock) having a value of twice the exercise price of
the right. If WisdomTree is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after any such event, each holder of a right would then be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, shares of the acquiring company&#146;s
common stock having a value of twice the exercise price of the right. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A person or group who beneficially owned 10% or more (or 20% or more in the case of
passive stockholders) of WisdomTree&#146;s outstanding common stock prior to the first public announcement by WisdomTree of the adoption of the rights plan will not trigger the rights plan so long as they do not acquire beneficial ownership of any
additional shares of common stock at a time when they still beneficially own 10% or more (or 20% or more in the case of passive stockholders) of such common stock, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the rights plan. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The rights plan will expire on the day after the 2022 Annual Meeting, unless approved by stockholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting, in which case it will expire
in one year, on March&nbsp;13, 2023. The date of the 2022 Annual Meeting has not yet been announced. The rights plan contains a qualifying offer clause that provides stockholders the ability to call a special meeting for purposes of exempting a
