WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT) (&#147;WisdomTree&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;), a global financial innovator, today confirmed receipt of notice from WisdomTree stockholder ETFS Capital Limited (&#147;ETFS Capital&#148;) of its intent to nominate
three individuals to stand for election to the Company&#146;s Board of Directors (&#147;Board&#148;) at WisdomTree&#146;s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (&#147;2023 Annual Meeting&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Frank Salerno, Chair of the WisdomTree Board of Directors said, &#147;For some time now, we have been engaging with ETFS Capital and its Chairman, Graham
Tuckwell, in a good faith effort to avoid a distracting and costly proxy contest. We have met with ETFS Capital multiple times in the past month, and regularly since the beginning of 2022, to try to understand their concerns and intentions. In an
effort to take control of WisdomTree, Mr.&nbsp;Tuckwell demanded that our Board agree to replace four incumbent directors with three new directors of his own choosing and one director mutually agreed upon, all while refusing to disclose whom he
wished to add. Given WisdomTree&#146;s strong operating results, strong stock performance and recent stock upgrade by UBS, we view this level of wholesale Board change as unjustified and an unwarranted risk to our stockholders. We have completed a
significant level of Board refreshment over the past few years, and our current Board members possess extensive experience relevant to WisdomTree&#146;s business strategy, including global financial, accounting and compliance expertise, and many
years in senior leadership positions in the investment management and financial services industry.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Salerno continued, &#147;Contrary to
Mr.&nbsp;Tuckwell&#146;s misleading claims, WisdomTree&#146;s strategy is clearly leading to strong performance results. In fact, we announced yesterday that we have surpassed $90&nbsp;billion in global AUM for the first time and achieved our 10<SUP
STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP> consecutive quarter of net inflows. Additionally, WisdomTree stock outperformed the market and was a top performing stock in relation to its identified peer group of traditional asset managers in
2022 and YTD 2023.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Salerno concluded, &#147;Despite repeatedly articulating to Mr.&nbsp;Tuckwell our willingness to review possible new
directors and consider their suitability and ability to add value to the Board, he refused to identify the director nominees he had in mind. He continued to demand that the Board first agree to the extreme and self-serving &#145;framework&#146; he
proposed, asking in effect for a blank check to change the composition of the Board to suit his own preferences. Mr.&nbsp;Tuckwell continues to put his own personal agenda above the interests of all WisdomTree stockholders. Nevertheless, the Board
will continue to follow its established protocols to evaluate the Board nominees that ETFS Capital has finally divulged and will continue to, in accordance with our fiduciary duty, act in the best interests of all stockholders.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board and its Nominating and Governance Committee will present the Board&#146;s recommendation regarding director nominees in the Company&#146;s
definitive proxy statement, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) and mailed to all WisdomTree stockholders eligible to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting. The date of the 2023 Annual Meeting has not yet
been announced. WisdomTree stockholders are not required to take any action at this time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Advisors </B></P>
