Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 4, 2005, Wright Express Corporation (the “Company”) purchased put option contracts and sold call option contracts, designed to be a costless collar, on the price of gasoline and diesel fuel with J. Aron & Company (collectively, the “Contracts”). The Contracts have an aggregate notional amount of approximately 13 million gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel and will expire on a monthly basis during the last three quarters of 2007. The settlement of the Contracts is based upon the U.S. Department of Energy’s weekly retail on-highway national U.S. average diesel price and the New York Mercantile Exchange nearby unleaded gasoline contracts for the settlement period. The Contracts lock in a weighted average floor price of approximately $2.30 per gallon and a weighted average ceiling price of approximately $2.37 per gallon.

We have previously filed the forms of Contracts as Exhibits 10.18 and 10.19 to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on October 27, 2005, File No. 001-32426. Those forms of Contracts are incorporated into this Item 1.01.
