Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant's Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

On May 17, 2013, the Board of Directors of WEX Inc. (the "Company" or "WEX") adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for the Company (the "Updated Code"), which will apply to all directors, officers, including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, and employees of the Company and will supersede and replace the Company’s prior Employee Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors, and Code of Ethics for Chief Executive and Senior Financial Officers, in their entirety. The Updated Code has been posted to the Company’s investor relations page on the Company’s internet website at www.wexinc.com, on the Corporate Governance page. The Updated Code clarifies, and provides more detailed explanations of, the standards of conduct that are expected of the Company’s directors, officers and employees. The Updated Code will also be published in both English and Brazilian Portuguese to serve the languages of countries in which the Company operates. Finally, the Updated Code reflects an updated format which uses greater comprehension aids including "Q&As," examples and directions to obtain further information.
