WisdomTree Investments, Inc. announced that Board will be increased to nine members, and two new independent directors, Lynn S. Blake and Deborah A. Fuhr, will be appointed to the Board, effective immediately. After conducting further interviews with Ms. Fuhr and gaining a better understanding of her other commitments, the Board is now satisfied that they do not prevent her from serving as a WisdomTree director.
