Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 21, 2009, Wright Express Corporation (the “Company” or “Wright Express”) entered into an
interest rate swap arrangement (the “Swap”) with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”).
The Swap with SunTrust is for a notional amount of $50,000,000, with an effective date of July 22,
2009 and a maturity date of July 22, 2011 and a fixed interest rate of 1.35% per annum.
The Swap
was designed as a cash flow hedge intended to reduce a portion of the variability of the
future interest payments on our credit agreement. The Swap fixes the interest payments on a portion
of our variable rate revolving 2007 credit facility.
The variable rate of the Swap is based upon the 1-month USD-LIBOR-BBA with the rate resetting and
the Swap settling on the 22nd of each month (or the following business day if the 22nd of the month
is not a business day).
