Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend Item 1.01 to correct a typographical error in the expiration date of the purchased put option contracts and sold call option contracts (the “Contracts) on the Form 8-K filed by Wright Express Corporation on October 18, 2010 (the “Form 8-K”). In the Form 8-K, the contracts were incorrectly identified as expiring through the first quarter of 2010. They are, in fact, expiring through the first quarter of 2012. Other than the correction to that date, the Form 8-K is unchanged. This Form 8-K/A is limited in scope to Item 1.01 and does not amend, update, or change any other items or disclosures contained in the Form 8-K. For convenience, we have included in this filing the entirety of the original filing, as amended, to correct the typographical error.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 12, 2010, Wright Express Corporation (the “Company”) purchased put option contracts and sold call option contracts, designed to be a costless collar, on the wholesale price of gasoline with Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc. and the retail price of diesel fuel with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Contracts”). The Contracts have an aggregate notional amount of approximately 11,431,557 million gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel and will expire on a monthly basis during the last two quarters of 2011 and first quarter of 2012. The settlement of the Contracts is based upon the New York Mercantile Exchange’s New York Harbor Reformulated Gasoline Blendstock for Oxygen Blending and the U.S. Department of Energy’s weekly retail on-highway diesel fuel price for the month. The Contracts lock in a weighted average retail floor price of approximately $2.91 per gallon and a weighted average retail ceiling price of approximately $2.97 per gallon.

On October 18, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing this transaction.
