Wix Announces $200 Million Increase to Share Repurchase Program

Wix.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: WIX) (“Wix,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”) today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized an increase to its program to repurchase the Company’s securities (ordinary shares and/or convertible notes) by an additional amount of $200 million, subject to the satisfaction of Israeli law requirements, and other market conditions, including capital availability. To the extent these and other terms are fulfilled, together with the previously authorized $400 million out of which $100 million has been utilized, the aggregate amount available under the repurchase program will be up to $500 million. Since the beginning of 2025, the Company has repurchased $300 million of its ordinary shares.

Under the Board authorized repurchase program, Company securities may be repurchased from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with U.S. securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  The Company may also, from time to time, enter into plans that are compliant with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act to facilitate repurchases of its securities under this authorization.  The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of securities, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.  Repurchases pursuant to the $200 million increase to the repurchase program may begin upon the satisfaction of applicable Israeli law requirements, and subject to the conclusion of the 30-day period for creditors of the Company to object to the Company’s intent to perform the distribution by way of repurchase in accordance with the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief for Public Companies Whose Securities are Traded on Stock Exchanges Outside of Israel), 5760-2000 and the Israeli Regulations (Approval of Distribution), 5761–2001.  The actual timing, number and value of securities repurchased depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares, general market, capital availability, and economic conditions, any objections received by the Company from its creditors, the Company’s financial results and liquidity, and other considerations.
