IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2020

The proxy materials listed below are available to you at www.proxyvote.com. You will need your 12-digit control number found on your proxy card, voter instruction form or Notice of Internet Availability to access these materials:

Among other things, this proxy statement contains information regarding (i) the date, time and location of the meeting; (ii) a list of the matters being submitted to our shareholders; and (iii) information concerning voting for these matters at the meeting.

This proxy statement is furnished to the shareholders of World Fuel Services Corporation in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors, or the "Board", for the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders, or the "Annual Meeting". The terms "World Fuel", "Company," "we," "our" and "us" used in this proxy statement refer to World Fuel Services Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.

We are utilizing the Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC", rule allowing companies to furnish proxy materials to their shareholders over the Internet. In accordance with this rule, on or about April 9, 2020, we sent our shareholders as of the close of business on March 30, 2020 a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting, which we refer to as the "Notice". The Notice contains instructions on how to access our proxy statement and annual report and vote online. If you received a Notice and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials from us instead of downloading a printable version from the Internet, please follow the instructions included in the Notice for requesting such materials at no charge.

Our Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, May 22, 2020, at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at our offices located at 9800 Northwest 41st Street, Miami, Florida 33178. We currently intend to hold the Annual Meeting in person. However, we are actively monitoring the coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic and are sensitive to the public health and travel concerns that our shareholders may have, as well as protocols that federal, state, and local governments may impose. If it is not possible or advisable to hold the Annual Meeting in person, we will announce alternative arrangements for the meeting as promptly as practicable, which may include switching to a virtual meeting format, or changing the time, date or location of the Annual Meeting. Any such change will be announced via press release and will be available on our website at: www.wfscorp.com in the Investor Relations section and filed as definitive additional soliciting materials with the SEC.

At the Annual Meeting you will be asked to vote on the following four proposals. Our Board recommendation for each of these proposals is set forth below:

You will also be asked to consider and act upon such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on March 30, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. At the close of business on the record date, 65,504,262 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding.

What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the "shareholder of record."

If your shares are held by a brokerage firm, bank, trustee, other agent or record holder, each sometimes referred to as a "nominee," you are considered the "beneficial owner" of shares held in street name. The Notice has been forwarded to you by your nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote your shares by following their instructions for voting by telephone or on the Internet or, if you specifically request a copy of the printed materials, you may use the voting instruction card included in such materials.

Our shareholders have one vote per share of our common stock owned on the record date for each matter properly presented at the Annual Meeting. For example, if you owned 100 shares of our common stock at the close of business on March 30, 2020, you can cast 100 votes for each matter properly presented at the Annual Meeting. Holders of our common stock have no cumulative voting rights.

A quorum will be present at the Annual Meeting if holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock on the record date are represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, we expect to postpone or adjourn the Annual Meeting to solicit additional proxies. Abstentions and broker non-votes (as described below) will be counted as shares present and entitled to vote for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum.

A "broker non-vote" occurs when a bank, broker, trustee, agent or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner withholds its vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for such proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. If your broker is the shareholder of record, your broker is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not give instructions to your broker, the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or "NYSE", allow brokers the discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to "routine" matters but not "non-routine" matters.

The table below sets forth, for each proposal on the ballot, whether a broker can exercise discretion and vote your shares absent your instructions. If they cannot, such broker non-vote will not be counted as a vote cast and will therefore have no impact on the approval of the proposal.

If other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting and they are not considered routine under the applicable NYSE rules, shares held by a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner will not be voted on such non-routine matters by that holder unless that holder has received voting instructions. As stated above, broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast in the final tally of votes with regard to Proposals 1, 2 and 3. Therefore, abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of these proposals. Proposal 4 (Approval of the 2020 Omnibus Plan) is subject to NYSE shareholder approval rules which provide that abstentions are counted as votes cast. Therefore abstentions will have the effect of a vote "AGAINST" Proposal 4. As stated above, abstentions will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, they may be voted by the bank, broker or other holder of record with respect to "routine" matters (as described above under the caption "What are "broker non-votes" and how are they treated?") even if you do not give the bank, broker or other holder of record specific voting instructions. If you are a shareholder of record and hold your shares directly in your own name, your shares will not be voted unless you provide a proxy or fill out a written ballot in person at the Annual Meeting.

You can vote by proxy whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. To vote by proxy, you have a choice of voting over the Internet, by telephone or by using a traditional proxy card.

To reduce our administrative and postage costs, we ask that you vote through the Internet or by telephone, both of which are available 24 hours a day. To ensure that your vote is counted, please remember to submit your vote by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, May 21, 2020.

If your shares are registered in your name, you must bring a valid photo identification and deliver your completed proxy card or ballot in person.

If you hold your shares in "street name," you will need to bring a valid photo identification to the Annual Meeting and obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee to vote the shares that are held for your benefit, attach such legal proxy to your completed proxy card and deliver it in person.

Yes. Casting your vote in advance does not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting. If you vote in advance and also attend the Annual Meeting, you do not need to vote again at the Annual Meeting unless you want to change your vote.

Proposal		Description of Votes Needed

Election of Directors		The eight nominees for election as directors will be elected by a "plurality" of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This means that the eight nominees who receive the highest number of "FOR" votes will be elected as directors, even if those nominees do not receive a majority of the votes cast. "Withhold" votes will not be counted as votes cast either for or against the election of a director and will have no effect on the results of the election of directors, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. See page 24 of this proxy statement for additional information about our director resignation policy in uncontested elections.
Non-Binding, Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation		The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal is required for the approval of the non-binding, advisory vote with respect to executive compensation.
Ratification of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm		The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal is required for the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent auditor for the 2020 fiscal year.
Approval of the 2020 Omnibus Plan		The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal is required for the approval of the 2020 Omnibus Plan.

The enclosed proxy designates Michael J. Kasbar, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Paul H. Stebbins, Director and Chairman Emeritus, to hold your proxy and vote your shares. Messrs. Kasbar and Stebbins will vote all shares of our common stock represented by properly executed proxies received in time for the Annual Meeting in the manner specified by the holders of those shares. Messrs. Kasbar and Stebbins intend to vote all shares of our common stock represented

by proxies that are properly executed by the record holder but that otherwise do not contain voting instructions as follows:

Other than the items of business described above, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy to the proxy holders named in the attached proxy card, such persons will vote in accordance with the recommendation of our Board, "FOR" or "AGAINST" such other matters.

Voting by telephone, over the Internet or by mailing a proxy card does not preclude a shareholder from voting in person at the Annual Meeting. A shareholder may revoke a proxy, whether submitted via telephone, the Internet or mail, at any time prior to its exercise by (i) filing with our Corporate Secretary a duly executed revocation of proxy, (ii) properly submitting, either by telephone, mail or Internet, a proxy to our Corporate Secretary bearing a later date or (iii) appearing at the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not itself constitute revocation of a proxy.

If you are a shareholder of record, you will need to bring with you to the Annual Meeting any proxy card that is sent to you and valid photo identification. Otherwise, you will be admitted only upon other verification of record ownership at the admission counter.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, bring with you to the Annual Meeting your most recent brokerage statement or a letter from your bank, broker, trustee, agent or other record holder indicating that you beneficially owned shares of our common stock on March 30, 2020 and valid photo identification. We can use that to verify your beneficial ownership of common stock and admit you to the Annual Meeting. If you intend to vote at the Annual Meeting, you also will need to bring to the Annual Meeting a legal proxy from your bank, broker, trustee, agent or other holder of record that authorizes you to vote the shares that the record holder holds for you in its name.

We will announce the results for the proposals voted upon at the Annual Meeting and publish final detailed voting results in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

If you have additional questions about this proxy statement or the Annual Meeting or would like additional copies of this proxy statement or our annual report, please contact: World Fuel Services Corporation at 9800 Northwest 41st Street, Miami, Florida 33178, Attention: Corporate Secretary, Telephone: (305) 428-8000.

Eight individuals have been nominated to serve as our directors for the ensuing year and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. All nominees are presently directors. One of our existing independent directors, Mr. Stephen J. Gold will not be standing for re-election to the Board following the Annual Meeting.

The persons named as proxies in the accompanying proxy card have advised management that unless authority is withheld in the proxy, they intend to vote for the election of the individuals identified as nominees below. We do not contemplate that any nominee named below will be unable or will decline to serve. However, if any nominee is unable to serve or declines to serve, the persons named in the accompanying proxy card may vote for another person, or persons, in their discretion, unless our Board chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board. In accordance with our By-Laws, the Board may consist of four to ten directors, and the Board may increase or decrease the number of directors by amending our By-Laws. The Board presently consists of nine directors and will be reduced to eight following the Annual Meeting.

We believe that each of our nominees possesses the experience, skills and qualities to fully perform his or her duties as a director and to contribute to our success. In addition, each of our nominees is being nominated because they each possess the highest standards of personal integrity, are accomplished in their field, have an understanding of the interests and issues that are important to our shareholders and are able to dedicate sufficient time to fulfilling their obligations as a director. Our nominees as a group complement each other and each other's respective experiences, skills and qualities.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE ABOVE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

The Board regularly considers the appropriate leadership structure for us and does not have a formal policy with respect to the separation of the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Rather, the Board believes that different Board leadership structures may be appropriate for us at different times, and that it should have the flexibility to make this decision based on its evaluation of current circumstances. When making this decision, the Board considers factors such as:

Mr. Kasbar currently serves as Chairman of the Board in addition to his role as President and Chief Executive Officer. Our Board believes that our Chief Executive Officer is in the best position to most effectively serve as the Chairman of the Board given that he has the primary responsibility for managing our day-to-day operations and therefore has a detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing us and our businesses. The Board also believes that the Chief Executive Officer serving as Chairman of the Board further promotes information flow between management and the Board and enhances the quality of the Board's overall decision-making process.

In making its decision to combine the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, the Board considered that its leadership structure was appropriate given the following strong governance structures and processes in place to ensure the independence of the Board, eliminate conflicts of interest and prevent the dominance of the Board by senior management:

Our independent directors annually elect our lead independent director. Consistent with best practices, our lead independent director:

Currently, Mr. Roddenberry serves as our lead independent director. The Board believes that having a lead independent director benefits us and our shareholders by providing leadership and an organizational structure for the independent directors.

We regularly engage with our shareholders to better understand their perspectives on our Company, including our business strategies, financial performance, and matters of corporate governance and executive compensation. This dialogue has helped inform the Board's decision-making and ensure our interests remain well-aligned with those of our shareholders. In recent years, these engagements have covered governance issues, such as majority voting, board leadership and director nomination processes, and compensation and capital allocation policies. During 2019, we interacted with the 18 largest holders of our common stock, representing approximately 50% percent of our outstanding shares. We believe that these engagements provide valuable feedback and this feedback is shared regularly with the Board and its relevant committees. As a result of the feedback we received from our shareholders in the past few years, we have, among other things:

During 2019, the Board met four times. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by each of the Board committees on which he or she served. In addition, it is our policy that each director should attend all meetings of shareholders, absent extenuating circumstances. All of our directors that were standing for election at the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders attended the meeting.

All of our independent directors meet in executive session (without management present) during each scheduled Board meeting and at other times as they may deem necessary. Mr. Roddenberry currently serves as the Presiding Director over all executive sessions of the independent directors.

Our Corporate Governance Principles require that a majority of our directors meet the standards for independence required by the listing standards of the NYSE. In addition, members of our Audit Committee must meet the independence standards for audit committee members adopted by the SEC. Members of the Audit Committee must also have no relationship with us that interferes with their exercise of independent judgment. Members of our Compensation Committee must meet the definition of "non-employee director" contained in Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and meet the independence requirements under the NYSE listing standards. The Board may also consider other factors in making its determination that a director has no material relationship with us that could compromise that director's independence.

Our Corporate Governance Principles provide that no more than two members of management shall serve on the Board. Mr. Kasbar is the only member of management currently serving on our Board. All of our other directors, Messrs. Bakshi, Benitez, Gold, Kassar, Manley, Presby, Roddenberry, Stebbins and Ms. Cherwoo, are independent of us and our management under NYSE listing standards, and our Audit Committee members and Compensation Committee members are independent under the standards applicable to membership in such committees. In making this determination, our Board considered that Mr. Kassar is the first cousin of Mr. Kasbar, and the Board determined that the familial relationship between Messrs. Kasbar and Kassar was not material because it would not adversely affect Mr. Kassar's ability to exercise his independent judgment as our director. Mr. Kasbar is not deemed to be an independent director because of his employment relationship with us and therefore he is precluded from sitting on any of our committees.

Each year, our Board and its committees conduct self-evaluations to ensure they are performing effectively and to identify opportunities to improve Board and committee performance. The Governance Committee annually reviews the format and scope of our Board's evaluation process in light of general corporate governance developments and best practices and recommends changes it believes are appropriate. Each chair of our Board's committees also reviews and updates, as appropriate, a separate self-evaluation of committee performance, which is provided to the members of each committee for comment and feedback. Once the format and content of the evaluation is approved, a Board self-assessment is conducted under the oversight of the Governance Committee and for each committee, led by the committee chair. As part of the assessment, a written questionnaire is circulated which is designed to solicit feedback on a range of issues, including Board and committee structure, process and dynamics, the flow of information from management, and agenda topics. The feedback received from the evaluations is discussed during a review session led by the Governance Committee and the individual committees, as appropriate.

In addition to these annual self-assessments, the Board evaluates and modifies its oversight of our business operations on an ongoing basis. During their executive sessions, the independent directors consider agenda topics that they believe deserve additional focus and raise new topics to be addressed in future meetings.

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Principles, which are amended from time to time to incorporate certain current best practices in corporate governance. The Corporate Governance Principles describe our corporate governance practices and policies and provide a framework for our Board governance. The topics addressed in our Corporate Governance Principles include, among other things:

Our Corporate Governance Principles are available on our website at www.wfscorp.com by clicking on Investor Relations and then Corporate Governance. Copies of this document may also be obtained by any shareholder, without charge, by writing to our Corporate Secretary.

Our Board has five standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Governance Committee, the Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee and the Technology & Operations Committee. The following table illustrates the current membership of each of our Board's committees, which are composed entirely of independent directors:

Director	Audit	Compensation	Governance	Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility	Technology & Operations


Ken Bakshi		Chair
Jorge L. Benitez				Chair	Chair
Sharda Cherwoo
Stephen J. Gold
Richard A. Kassar
John L. Manley	Chair
Stephen K. Roddenberry			Chair
Paul H. Stebbins

As discussed above, Mr. Gold will not be standing for re-election at the 2020 Annual Meeting, thus the size of the Governance Committee will be reduced to six members and the size of the Technology & Operations Committee will be reduced to five members.

Each of the Board's committees operates under a written charter adopted by our Board which addresses the purpose, duties and responsibilities of the committee. Each committee reviews its charter at least annually and recommends charter changes to the Board as appropriate. During 2019, each of the committees in existence at the time reviewed and revised its charter. The Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee was formed in March 2020 and its initial charter was adopted by the Board upon the committee's inception. A current copy of each committee charter can be found on our website at www.wfscorp.com by clicking on Investor Relations and then Corporate Governance.

The Governance Committee believes that the Board should collectively possess a broad range of skills, knowledge, business experience and diversity of backgrounds that provides effective oversight of our business. The Governance Committee has established a matrix of skills and experience which it has determined would be beneficial to have represented on our Board based on a number of factors, including our current operating requirements, business strategy, and the long-term interests of our shareholders. The following table highlights certain of the skills and experience of our Board (additional details are set forth in their individual biographies beginning on page 7 of this proxy statement):

The Board's objective is to maintain a diverse membership that can best further the success of our business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience and perspectives. The Governance Committee periodically assesses the skills and experience required of directors, comparing our needs in Board composition and the individual skills and experience of our directors. This assessment enables the Governance Committee to update the skills and experience it seeks in the Board, as a whole and in individual directors, as our needs evolve over time in order to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capabilities. As a result of such periodic assessment, the Governance Committee evaluates current directors and potential director nominees and will recommend any changes to Board size or composition that it believes is necessary to create a balanced and effective Board.

To the extent that the Governance Committee believes that specific skills or experience needs to be added to the Board, the committee initiates a search for a Board nominee, seeking input from board members and senior management. The Governance Committee may retain professional search firms to identify director candidates and maintains the authority to approve the fees and other retention terms of any such firm. The criteria for evaluating director nominees takes into account the candidate's intellect, integrity, judgment, experience and background, including diversity, such as race, gender and ethnicity, as well other factors deemed appropriate in adding value to the composition of the Board, such as public service. Further, as set forth in our Corporate Governance Principles, the Governance Committee is committed to actively seeking highly qualified women and minority candidates, as well as candidates with diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences, as part of the search process for new director candidates. The Governance Committee believes that it has been able to attract and appoint directors of diverse backgrounds in the past using these criteria.

Finally, in order to ensure that our independent directors have sufficient time to devote to overseeing the Company, our Corporate Governance Principles prohibit our directors from serving on the board of directors of more than three other publicly traded companies, unless the Board determines that such service will not impair the ability of such director to effectively perform his or her obligations as our director.

We believe the Governance Committee has a sound director evaluation process and that such process is an effective method for determining whether a director is fit to serve on the Board. Our Governance Committee welcomes candidates recommended by shareholders and, assuming a submission is in proper form as provided under our By-Laws, it will apply the same standards described above to the evaluation of a shareholder nominee as it applies to all nominees, including those recommended by current directors, employees and others. The procedural and disclosure requirements of our By-Laws provide that shareholders who would like to propose a Board nominee for consideration by the Governance Committee must deliver written notice to our Corporate Secretary, including disclosure of: (i) the relationship between the nominating shareholder and the underlying beneficial owner, if any, and such parties' stock holdings and derivative positions in our securities; (ii) information we deem appropriate to ascertain the nominee's qualifications to serve on the Board, including disclosure of compensation arrangements between the nominee, the nominating shareholder and the underlying beneficial owner, if any; and (iii) any other information required to comply with the proxy rules and applicable law. These requirements are more fully described in Article I, Section 7 of our By-Laws, a copy of which will be provided without charge to any shareholder upon written request to our Corporate Secretary at World Fuel Services Corporation, 9800 Northwest 41st Street, Miami, Florida 33178.

We have adopted a director resignation policy for the election of directors in an uncontested election, which is generally defined as an election in which the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected at the meeting. In uncontested elections of directors, such as this election, any director nominee who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" from his or her election than votes "for" his or her election must promptly tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee will recommend to the Board whether the Board should accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board will publicly disclose its decision regarding the tendered resignation within 90 days after certification of the election results. The director whose resignation is under consideration will not participate in the recommendation of the Governance Committee or deliberations of the Board with respect to his or her resignation. If a director's resignation is not accepted by the Board, the director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. A copy of our director resignation policy, included in our Corporate Governance Principles, is available on our website at www.wfscorp.com. Our website and information contained on our website are not part of this proxy statement and are not incorporated by reference in this proxy statement.

We believe that conducting our operations in a safe and responsible manner, while maintaining the trust that we have built up among our key stakeholders, is vital to growing our business and continuing our success in a sustainable manner. This includes the protection of people, respect for individual rights, engaging with our communities, and working to reduce our overall impact on the environment through increased efficiency in our operations. We are committed to fostering a corporate culture of safety and conducting our business in a manner that respects the environment, benefits the communities in which we operate and promotes collaboration with our key stakeholders to develop sustainable programs that minimize the impact of our activities.

Over the last several years, we have reinforced our focus on environmental, health and safety, sustainability, diversity and other social responsibility issues and impacts (collectively, "Sustainability Matters"), through various enhancements to our policies and processes as well as our governance structure. In 2019, we took a number of significant steps to further strengthen our commitment to operating in a sustainable manner and proactively working with the communities in which we operate, including becoming a signatory to the United Nations ("UN") Global Compact, the world's largest corporate responsibility initiative. The UN Global Compact provides a universal framework for sustainability in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. We aim to incorporate the UN Global Compact and its principles in our strategy, culture and operations and intend to support and engage in collaborative projects to advance the broader UN goals, with a special focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that are in line with our mission and values. As part of our participation, starting in late 2020 we will provide an annual "Communication on Progress" report, setting forth our actions to implement the UN Global Compact principles and our progress in these key areas.

In addition, in 2019 we commenced the development of a multi-year sustainability and corporate responsibility program designed to:

We are currently working on completing the assessment phase of this program and developing recommendations for review and consideration by our executive leadership and our Board.

Finally, to further illustrate our commitment to increasing transparency on Sustainability Matters, we have also enhanced our Investor Relations website located at: www.wfscorp.com and launched a dedicated area for information regarding our principles, policies and actions relating to sustainability and corporate responsibility matters that we believe are relevant to our business and meet the overall needs of our shareholders and other stakeholders. Our efforts in this area will continue to evolve in the future and we welcome any shareholder feedback as we continue on our sustainability journey.

As we have progressed in our approach to sustainability and corporate responsibility, our governance and oversight structure has also evolved. At the Board level, we began in 2018 by enhancing the responsibilities of our Governance Committee, which already included oversight of our corporate governance policies and practices, to also include oversight of our policies and programs related to environmental and social matters. We also established a cross-functional Sustainability Management Committee, which includes senior leaders and subject matter experts from across the Company who collaborate to identify priorities, set goals and drive the implementation of our strategy and objectives with respect to Sustainability Matters. This committee is also responsible for developing and implementing our multi-year sustainability and corporate responsibility program currently underway.

Furthermore, as a reflection of our commitment to embedding sustainability and corporate responsibility as an integral part of our business strategy for long-term value creation, in March 2020 our Board established the Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee as a standing committee of the Board responsible for overseeing the environmental and social matters previously overseen by the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee will continue to be responsible for the oversight of our corporate governance policies and practices.

The Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee is comprised solely of independent directors and responsible for overseeing and reviewing our programs, policies, risks and initiatives with respect to all Sustainability Matters not otherwise overseen by the other committees of the Board. These duties include reviewing and providing input on our strategy, goals and integration of Sustainability Matters into strategic and tactical business activities across the Company. The committee is also responsible for monitoring our progress against our goals and reviewing any disclosures

regarding our position, approach and reporting of Sustainability Matters. Our Board's governance structure for the oversight of Sustainability Matters is reflected below and described in the "Corporate Governance" section beginning on page 12 of this proxy statement.

Environmental stewardship is at the core of our business operations and we continuously strive to identify opportunities to make a positive contribution to protecting our environment and reducing the impact of our global business operations. We are also working to create sustainability solutions for our customers and offer renewable energy and sustainable fuel products to support our customers in managing their energy needs while reducing their environmental impact.



		Highlights of "Our Environmental Stewardship" Programs and Efforts
		Getting to Zero. In September 2019, we joined the "Getting to Zero Coalition", a global alliance of private and public stakeholders within the maritime, energy, infrastructure and finance sectors focused on developing fuels, energy solutions and technology necessary to develop commercially viable deep-sea zero emission vessels powered by zero emission fuels by 2030. The Getting to Zero Coalition is a partnership between the Global Maritime Forum, the Friends of Ocean action, and the World Economic Forum.
		Reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions. As a member of the Coalition of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), we continue to support the business aviation industry's goal to reduce carbon emissions 50% by 2050. For example, in May 2019 we provided sustainable aviation jet fuel (SAF) at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition held at TAG Farnborough Airport in the United Kingdom. Our supply of SAF was used for a demonstration showcasing the capability of SAF and the aviation industry's support for the development and adoption of sustainable fuels.
		Sustainability Products and Services. As an energy management company, we have been focused on investing in and expanding our portfolio of sustainability products and services across the energy product spectrum to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals. Through our World Kinect Energy Services business, we offer sustainability solutions that incorporate a carbon footprint reporting tool, renewable energy solutions, alternative fuels and energy efficiency measures to lessen customers' environmental impact and reduce their carbon footprint. We have also focused on promoting the use of sustainable and renewable fuels in the aviation, marine and land transportation industries where we operate.

The passion and expertise of our people differentiate us. We firmly believe the power of our differences fuel innovation and investing in our people is of upmost priority. We strive to provide our employees with an environment where they can learn and grow, build their careers, take care of their families and support their communities. We also place a high value on cultivating growth and offer opportunities to learn and development programs across every level of our organization.



		Highlights of "Our People" Programs and Efforts
		Diversity & Inclusion. We have continued to focus on embedding diversity and inclusion throughout our talent acquisition, management and development practices. From recent graduates to experienced hires, we seek to attract and develop top talent to continue building a unique blend of cultures, background, skills and beliefs that mirrors the world we live in. We have focused on creating an environment that embraces diversity and encourages each employee to thrive.
		ITWomen. We have partnered with ITWomen, a non-profit organization founded in 2002 to narrow the gender gap in technology and increase the potential for innovation and economic growth through gender equality. The programs are geared to ignite a passion for technology in the next generation by reaching out to girls in middle school, high school, and college. Our technology leaders contribute their time in the ITWomen speaker series to share experiences that encourage girls in high school to pursue technology and engineering careers, including hosting them at our headquarters to experience IT careers in the corporate environment. For the fifth year in a row, we hosted a group of more than 60 high school girls at our headquarters in 2019 to participate in an interactive journey through the Agile lifecycle, where they were able to experience first-hand how a global company leverages technologies such as cloud and artificial intelligence.

We believe that sustainable growth is about conducting our business to promote a healthy environment and strengthen the local communities where we operate in order to foster sustainable economic growth. We believe that this approach will enable us to deliver long-term value to all our stakeholders. As a signatory to the UN Global Compact, we endeavor to implement its key social principles, including the protection of employees, respect for individual rights, and engagement with local communities. We also respect the rights and dignity of all people and are committed to preventing modern slavery in our operations and supply chains.



		Highlights of "Our Community" Programs and Efforts
		Human Rights. Our commitment to human rights is embodied in our corporate values and our policies and processes. We are a strong advocate of various human rights initiatives, such as the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, and comply with various national and multinational efforts to enforce labor protections and individual rights, such as the United Kingdom Modern Slavery Act. We have various policies, procedures and public statements in place that support these principles. These resources, many of which have been translated into multiple languages, include our Code of Conduct, Anti-Corruption Policy and Business Partner Code of Conduct.
		Track My Electricity^TM. Track my Electricity^TM is a platform developed by our World Kinect Energy Services business that enables businesses to not only significantly reduce their organizational carbon footprint by sourcing 100% renewable energy, but to also support vulnerable communities in developing countries by combating energy poverty. For every MWh of clean energy sourced through the platform, a portion goes towards funding renewable energy projects in remote, off-grid areas to eliminate energy poverty and build sustainable communities. We have also participated in funding projects through this program. One such project included the installation of renewable energy solar panels in a community center in Mae Sot, Thailand to support around-the-clock powered activities, enabling access to educational opportunities within the community center, freshly prepared food and a safe environment to socialize. The solar panels that were installed also increased safety and visibility at night by powering streetlights in the area.

The role of the Board is to understand the nature of the material risks we face and, based upon the information brought to its attention by management and our risk management processes, policies and procedures, evaluate whether such processes, policies and procedures are reasonably designed to respond to and mitigate the risks we face. Throughout the year, the Board and its committees receive periodic reports from management identifying and explaining key areas of risk applicable to us and an explanation of the processes, policies and procedures in place to monitor and assess those risks.

The Board and each of its committees oversee the risks pertaining to their principal areas of focus as described in the table below:



		Board or Committee		Area of Risk Oversight
		Board		• Considers strategic and operational risks associated with the annual operating plan and other current matters that may present material risks to our operations, plans, prospects or reputation and risks associated with acquisitions.
		Audit		• Considers risks associated with the financial reporting and disclosure process, major litigation, cybersecurity and related information technology risks, and regulation and legal compliance; and
				• Discusses the guidelines and policies that govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken in accordance with its charter and NYSE rules.
		Compensation		• Considers risks associated with our compensation programs, policies and practices.
		Governance		• In conjunction with the Compensation Committee, considers risks associated with management development and succession.
		Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility		• Considers the risks and initiatives regarding our environmental, health and safety, sustainability, diversity and other social responsibility issues and impacts.
		Technology & Operations		• Considers risks related to technology and operations initiatives, including regulatory, environmental and other significant technology-related risks; and
				• Consults with the Audit Committee regarding technology and operations systems and processes that relate to or affect our internal control systems, information security, fraud and cybersecurity risks.

Each committee also provides periodic reports to the Board on the risks pertaining to their principal areas of focus so that the Board is informed of our risk profile.

Periodically, we also perform risk management assessments, both in specific areas of our business or on an enterprise wide basis. The principal purposes of these assessments are to:

The results of these risk assessments are regularly communicated to the Board. In addition, each year management conducts, and the Compensation Committee oversees, a risk assessment of our compensation policies and practices with respect to all employees, including NEOs. The employee population is segmented into groups based on commonalities across their reward programs. Each program is then evaluated using the key design features of the program and the applicable risk mitigation features that exist in such programs. Once the assessment is completed, management reviews the assessment data, methodology and findings with the Compensation Committee. A key goal of this process is to ensure that there are controls in place to (i) safeguard us from unwarranted exposure to particular risks that individual employees might choose to take and (ii) avoid any inadvertent incentives for employees to take inappropriate business risks by making decisions that may be in their best interests but not in the best interests of our shareholders.

All of our employees, officers (including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers) and directors are held accountable for adherence to our Code of Conduct. Our Code of Conduct is designed to help us meet our responsibility of conducting our business in compliance with laws and good ethical practice. Our Code of Conduct is available in multiple languages on our website at www.wfscorp.com, either by clicking on About Us and then Ethics & Compliance, or by clicking on Investor Relations and then Corporate Governance. We intend to disclose any substantive amendments to our Code of Conduct and any waivers with respect to our Code of Conduct granted to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers on our website at www.wfscorp.com. We have also established a separate Business Partner Code of Conduct outlining our standards and expectations of our suppliers and other business partners, which can also be found in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.wfscorp.com.

Related person transactions can create actual or potential conflicts of interests and can create the appearance that certain decisions may not be in the best interest of us or our shareholders. Therefore, our Board has adopted a written policy with respect to related person transactions. It is our policy that, as a general matter, we should avoid related person transactions except in circumstances where the transaction is consistent with our best interests, such as obtaining products or services that are not readily available from alternative sources or when the transaction meets the standards that apply to similar transactions with unrelated third parties.

For purposes of our policy, we review all of the following relationships and transactions between us and:

Pursuant to our policy, the Governance Committee will review any transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we (including any of our subsidiaries) were, are or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The foregoing rule will not be applied to those transactions exempt under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, such as the employment of an executive officer or compensation of a director if such executive officer's or director's compensation is required to be, or otherwise would be required to be, reported under the SEC's compensation disclosure requirements, any transaction with another entity where the related person's only relationship is as a beneficial owner of less than 1% of that corporation's publicly traded securities, or any transaction where the related person's interest arises solely from the ownership of our common stock and where all shareholders received the same benefit on a pro rata basis (e.g. dividends). In addition, the Governance Committee has determined that the following types of transactions, which involve ordinary course business transactions shall not be deemed to create or involve a direct or indirect "material" interest for a Related Person, even if the aggregate amount involved exceeds $120,000: (1) a transaction in which the related person's interests arises solely based on his or her position as an employee or executive officer of the other entity and (i) the related person was not involved in the transaction, (ii) the transaction was entered into in our ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons, and (iii) the transaction does not involve the greater of $500,000 or 2% of the recipient's total annual revenues and (2) any charitable contributions if the related person's interest arises only from (i) the person's or the person's immediate family member's position as an employee (other than an executive officer) or other position that does not involve policy-making decisions or (ii) the person's or person' immediate family member's position as an executive officer or director and the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the lesser of $1,000,000 or 2% of the charitable organization's total annual receipts.

If the Chairman of the Governance Committee determines that a proposed transaction is a related person transaction, it will submit the proposed transaction to the Governance Committee for approval. The Governance Committee reviews any related person transactions that are not among the types described above, and determines whether to approve or ratify any such transaction. The Governance Committee will analyze the following factors, in addition to any other factors the Governance Committee deems appropriate, in determining whether to approve a related person transaction:

The Governance Committee will only approve or ratify related person transactions that are consistent with our best interests and those of our shareholders. The Governance Committee's approval is not a directive to enter into the related person transaction, rather it is evidence that the Governance Committee does not object to the transaction based on relatedness issues. The Governance Committee will regularly review any ongoing related person transactions to determine whether it remains in our best interests and those of our shareholders to continue, modify or terminate the transactions.

Non-management directors earn fees for their services that are paid in cash on an annual basis. If a non-management director does not serve a full year in a position, such fees are paid on a pro-rated basis. The current fee structure for our non-management directors serving during the 2019-2020 term is as follows:

Our non-management directors are also reimbursed by us for their travel, food, lodging and related expenses incurred in connection with attending Board, committee and shareholder meetings, as well as continuing education programs.

In 2019, the Board granted each non-management director $150,000 worth of restricted stock units ("RSUs") for board service and to each member of the Governance Committee, an additional $10,000 in RSUs as the fee for service on the committee. This resulted in each non-management director (other than Mr. Stebbins) receiving 5,321 RSUs and Mr. Stebbins, who does not serve on the Governance Committee, receiving 4,989 RSUs. In addition, beginning in May 2019, the Chair of each Committee was also granted $5,000 in RSUs as a portion of their fee for serving as Chair, provided, however, that where a director served as Chair of more than one committee, only one additional $5,000 equity grant was made. This resulted in each of Messrs. Bakshi, Benitez, Manley and Roddenberry receiving an additional 167 RSUs. As described in greater detail above, although Messrs. Bakshi and Benitez serve as Chair of two committees, they only received one equity grant for such service.

The RSUs vest on the earlier of: (i) the day prior to the Annual Meeting that next follows the grant date or (ii) one year from the grant date. Upon vesting of the RSUs, 100% of the underlying shares will be issued.

Our 2016 Omnibus Plan includes limits on equity awards that may be granted to non-management directors. The table below summarizes the compensation paid by us to our non-management directors for services rendered in 2019. Directors who are employed by us do not receive additional compensation for serving as directors.

Each non-management director is required to accumulate, over a period of five years following election to the Board, a minimum of five times the annual fee for service on the Board, or $425,000, in our common stock. All of our non-management directors, with the exception of Ms. Cherwoo, who joined the Board on February 5, 2020, have achieved stock ownership levels in excess of the amount required. Vested RSUs and stock units that a director has elected to defer until retirement are included in the calculation of whether the minimum ownership requirement has been achieved.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis is designed to provide our shareholders with a clear understanding of our compensation philosophy and objectives, compensation-setting process, and the 2019 compensation of our named executive officers, or NEOs. As discussed in Proposal 2 of this proxy statement, we are conducting a Say-on-Pay vote this year that requests your approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our NEOs as described in this section and in the tables and accompanying narrative contained below under "Executive Compensation". To assist you with this vote, you should review our compensation philosophy, the design of our executive compensation programs and how, we believe, these programs contribute to our financial performance.

Please note that the decisions with respect to the targets and incentive compensation program described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis were made in the normal course in early 2019 and the resulting payments were thereafter made in early 2020 for the corresponding amount. The Committee is monitoring and will continue to consider the business and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, our shareholders, employees and other stakeholders in evaluating 2020 performance throughout the year and into early 2021.

Our compensation program is designed to attract and retain executives and motivate them to deliver strong financial results. We structure our compensation program to directly align our compensation levels with current and future performance that creates value for our shareholders, employees, customers and other stakeholders. As a result, a significant percentage of the total target compensation for our NEOs in 2019 was a combination of short- and long-term performance-based equity awards such that the ultimate realizable value would be highly contingent upon our future operating results and stock price.

For 2019, the portion of the total target direct compensation that was variable or "at-risk" for our Chief Executive Officer was 83% and averaged to 71% for our other NEOs, reflecting our commitment to linking compensation to Company performance and strategy.

What We Do

No payment of dividends on unvested equity awards

In 2019, our management team continued to successfully advance our key objectives of sharpening our portfolio, driving aggressive organic growth and increasing operating leverage. We further rationalized our portfolio of businesses, exiting certain non-core business activities in our land segment, and continued to focus on our core competencies, shifting towards businesses and opportunities that we believe are capable of producing more ratable, sustainable and scalable profits that will ultimately deliver greater shareholder value over the long-term. Our marine segment also performed exceptionally well, generating some of its strongest results in years that were largely attributable to our management's efforts to right-size the business, refine the portfolio and focus on driving stronger returns. Our technical expertise also enabled us to help customers navigate increased fuel price volatility, as well as the risks related to product availability and logistics that arose as a result of the implementation of the International Maritime Organization's low sulfur fuel regulations that went into effect on January 1, 2020.

In addition, the cost discipline and restructuring activities that began at the end of 2017 yielded improvements in our operating leverage and market segmentation, which enabled an increase in gross profit despite a decline in volume. Our aviation segment delivered a solid increase in year-over-year results, driven by a strong contribution from government-related activity and strength in our core commercial and general aviation offerings. This was further supported by our management's focus on improving our global logistics capability, expanding our fuel operations footprint and making further enhancements to our non-fuel service offerings.

All of the foregoing ultimately contributed to a significant increase in our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for 2019 as compared to the previous year, which resulted in our NEOs earning higher payouts under our annual incentive compensation program, consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy.

At our 2019 annual meeting of shareholders, we sought and received approval from 93.6% of votes cast (excluding abstentions), on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the 2018 compensation of our NEOs. We regularly engage with our shareholders to understand better their perspectives on our compensation programs. As discussed above under "Shareholder Engagement" on page 13, during 2019 we interacted with 18 of the 25 largest holders of our common stock, representing approximately 50% percent of our shares outstanding. In the past, shareholder feedback has led to changes to our incentive compensation program, such as modifying our long-term incentive compensation program to enhance predictability and shareholder alignment through the adoption of annual grants of equity with multi-year performance periods.

A guiding principle of our compensation philosophy is that the compensation of our NEOs should be closely linked with, and reasonable in relation to, the level of shareholder value created through the Company's financial, operating and strategic performance. The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") believes that the use of incentive compensation, particularly equity-based awards, together with stock ownership and retention guidelines are effective methods for motivating our executives and aligning their interests with those of our shareholders.

Consistent with our objective of rewarding shareholder value creation, we select performance metrics that we believe, if achieved, will translate into strong financial performance both in the short- and long-term, thereby resulting in higher share prices. As a result, we principally use annual financial metrics, such as our EBITDA and operating income ("Operating Income") for key "lines of sight", or LOS, to reward our NEOs. Our long-term incentive financial metrics consist of three-year growth in EPS ("EPS Growth") and beginning in 2019, as modified by our return on invested capital ("ROIC"). In addition, to a lesser extent, we reward achievement of individual performance strategic objectives that will drive long-term benefits and sustainable value. Due to the variability of business conditions within the industries in which we operate, we believe it is important that our compensation program be designed to measure and reward short-term, long-term and multi-year performance.

Ensuring Retention and Continued Engagement through Multi-Year Vesting Requirements

In order to promote retention of our NEOs and provide further incentive for creating shareholder value, we believe NEOs should be required to provide services over multi-year periods in

order to vest in equity-based awards. Consequently, all of the equity awards granted to our NEOs in 2019 vest over a three-year period.

To ensure continued alignment of compensation with Company performance and the creation of shareholder value without encouraging excessive risk-taking, our Committee has adopted strong compensation-related corporate governance policies, including the following:



		Negative Discretion on Annual Compensation		The Committee can use "negative discretion" to reduce payouts, such as in the event of a significant disconnect between compensation and Company and individual performance.
		Cap on Annual Incentive Awards		Annual cash and equity performance-based awards under our annual incentive program are subject to a maximum, which serves to limit the total direct compensation opportunity, or TDC, that can be earned by any of our NEOs.
		Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines		Our executive officers are subject to robust stock ownership guidelines. Our current stock ownership guidelines are as follows:
				• Chief Executive Officer 7x base salary
				• Chief Financial Officer and 5x base salary Chief Operating Officer
				• All other executive officers 3x base salary
				Furthermore, our executive officers are required to retain 50% of any net shares acquired pursuant to any equity award for three years after the shares are delivered (or until the individual ceases to be an executive officer, if earlier).
		Anti-Hedging Policy		We have a robust anti-hedging policy that prohibits all of our directors, executive officers, employees and their respective related persons from (1) engaging in hedging or monetization transactions, or any transaction that hedges or offsets, or is designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our securities, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds (which we refer to as "Hedging Transactions") or (2) buying or selling of publicly traded options based on our common stock or engaging in short sales of our securities.

The Committee also reviews comprehensive detailed historical compensation analysis to ensure that it is fully informed of all the compensation and benefits each NEO has received as an employee of the Company. This analysis includes information such as the aggregate amounts realized from prior years' compensation, the potential future payout scenarios at various levels of achievement taking into account any outstanding unearned performance-based awards, and the current value (as compared to the grant date fair value) of outstanding equity awards and of each NEO's shareholdings in the Company (what some commentators call an "accumulated wealth analysis"). However, the Committee does not specifically use the accumulated wealth analysis as a material factor in determining the NEO's compensation for a given year.

The Committee also considers the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation of our other executive officers. Following these reviews and assessments, the Committee determines the compensation packages for each NEO. This process is subjective and involves the exercise of discretion and judgment. While the Committee will review detailed financial models showing variations in compensation at differing levels of achievement, the Committee does not rely on a fixed formula but rather, it establishes the compensation packages based on the Committee's judgment as to what it believes is reasonable in relation to the levels of shareholder value created at each level of Company performance.

Evaluating Compensation Program Design Using Compensation Comparison Companies

We believe we have a unique business model and that there are few, if any, companies of a similar size and complexity engaged in our same lines of business on a global scale. However, in order to ensure that the Committee has a comprehensive view of market trends in executive compensation, the Committee approved a group of compensation comparison companies that reflects multiple aspects of our complex business model and it uses this group to benchmark our executive compensation program. In forming the group, the Committee considered companies in the industry sectors listed below, taking into account their relative financial size (with a specific focus on net income and market capitalization), and maintaining a reasonable expectation these companies will have some consistency in terms of ongoing industry sector membership.

The Committee used data derived from the compensation comparison companies group shown below to inform its decisions about NEO compensation including amounts, design and mix of pay components. For 2019, the Committee maintained the same compensation comparison companies group as was utilized in 2018.



		2019 Comparison Companies
		• Anixter International Inc.		• Noble Energy, Inc.
		• Arrow Electronics, Inc.		• Owens & Minor, Inc.
		• Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc.		• Performance Food Group, Inc.
		• C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc.		• Ryder System, Inc.
		• Expeditors International of Washington, Inc.		• Sysco Corporation
		• FleetCor Technologies, Inc.		• Tech Data Corporation
		• Henry Schein, Inc.		• United Natural Foods, Inc.
		• Hub Group, Inc.		• W.W. Grainger, Inc.
		• J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.		• WESCO International, Inc.
		• Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated		• WEX Inc.
		• Kirby Corporation		• XPO Logistics, Inc.
		• Landstar System, Inc.

Although the Committee believes comparison compensation and performance data can be useful, the Committee does not believe that any comparison group company, whose composition is based solely on our industry classification, revenues, net income and/or market capitalization, is fully reflective of the markets in which we compete for talent. Consequently, the Committee does not set the executives' target total direct compensation, or any of the target components of such compensation, at any specific percentile of the comparison group. Rather, it considers, as part of the overall compensation discussion, base salary, as well as the target and actual short- and long-term incentive compensation of the NEOs against the 50^th percentile of the comparison group.

In connection with the setting of 2019 executive compensation, the Committee engaged and received advice and assistance from Compensation Strategies, Inc. ("Compensation Strategies"), its independent compensation consultant. Compensation Strategies provides services solely to the Committee and reports directly and exclusively to the Committee. The Committee has assessed the independence of Compensation Strategies pursuant to SEC and NYSE rules and the guidelines of its Charter and concluded that Compensation Strategies' work for the Committee does not raise any conflict of interest and that it is independent.

For 2019, Compensation Strategies provided assistance to the Committee as follows:

The Committee uses a variety of compensation elements to establish individual compensation programs for each of its NEOs. The table below sets forth the compensation elements that the Committee uses in its programs and the objective of each of these elements.

In addition to the compensation elements set forth above, the Committee may grant additional equity awards, including sign-on awards, special retention awards or other discretionary awards from time to time. The Committee uses these awards to attract, reward, incentivize and retain key executives that it believes are integral to our overall long-term success, as well as to promote business continuity, drive achievement and growth and ensure proper focus on achieving our long-term strategic objectives.

In 2019, the Committee used each of the compensation elements described above in establishing the executive compensation programs for Messrs. Kasbar, Birns, Smith, Crosby and Rau and determined the amounts that could be earned for each of these elements in accordance with our pay-for-performance philosophy. Base salary was the only fixed portion of the NEOs' direct compensation. The remainder of the direct compensation for our NEOs was variable and designed to reward: (1) each of our NEOs for achieving specified levels of EBITDA, EPS and ROIC, (2) each of our NEOs for achievement of strategic operational and organizational objectives that the Committee believes would contribute to our long-term growth, and (3) for Messrs. Crosby and Rau, for achieving specified levels of Operating Income in their respective lines of sight.

For 2019, the Committee continued the performance-based components of our annual incentive program that were first introduced in 2018. Specifically, the Committee continued the use of targeted levels of EBITDA, which we define as income from operations, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization and adjusted for non-operational items as appropriate, for the annual incentive program. The Committee decided that based on our current strategic focus, EBITDA was the appropriate metric as it is a better indicator of our business' financial performance and each NEO can more directly impact the result. Further, it is aligned with the metrics being provided to our investors as measurements of our future operational success. Threshold, target and maximum levels were set based on the achievement of specified levels of growth in EBITDA over the previous year as well as our internal budgets. While each of these performance levels were based on EBITDA, the Committee intended, and did, adjust the actual results for items that are considered to be non-operational and are not representative of our core business, such as those associated with acquisition-related charges and restructuring-related costs.

The Committee also continued to utilize the multi-year Performance Share Program ("PSP") in the form of Performance SSARs to serve as an overlay to the core compensation program. As in prior years, this long-term incentive was based on three-year growth in EPS. However, due in part on our shareholder engagement initiatives, including conversations with investors, the Committee decided to alter the PSP performance metric by adding our ROIC as a modifier to adjust, positively or negatively, the number of Performance SSARs earned from EPS Growth during the performance period at each level of EPS. The Committee believes that while growth in EPS reflects execution of the strategy to grow the Company, ROIC measures the efficiency with which our NEOs allocate capital resources to drive that growth, taking into account the quantity of earnings, the quality of earnings and investments that drive sustainable growth.

Base salary is the only fixed portion of our compensation program for our NEOs. The base salary for each NEO is based on various factors, including position, responsibility, experience, tenure and capacity for growth. In March 2019, the Committee reviewed the base salaries for our NEOs and determined to increase Mr. Rau's salary by $50,000 to gradually make his compensation more competitive with industry levels and to reflect his experience, tenure and contribution to the Company. No other changes to NEO base salaries were made in 2019.

The Committee's design of the annual incentive compensation program is intended to promote investments in near-term and long-term growth opportunities, as well as motivate and reward annual performance. As such, the annual incentive program for each of Messrs. Kasbar, Birns, Smith, Crosby and Rau consisted of a mix of performance-based incentive awards based on annual EBITDA growth

and, for Messrs. Crosby and Rau, also growth in Operating Income for their respective lines of sight. Each NEO was also provided the opportunity to earn a strategic objective cash incentive award based on the individual's performance against certain strategic operational and organizational objectives.

In 2019, our performance-related incentive awards were structured so that they are aligned with each NEO's responsibilities. Accordingly, Messrs. Kasbar, Birns and Smith's compensation was based on EBITDA growth at the consolidated level. The Committee believes that this metric is appropriate because Messrs. Kasbar, Birns and Smith have roles that directly affect the strategic direction of the Company and our overall performance on a consolidated basis. For Messrs. Crosby and Rau, who each individually oversee a component of our operations, the Committee decided to award a portion of their performance-related incentive award based on EBITDA achievement and a portion based on the Operating Income for select lines of sight for which they have responsibility and for which the Committee believes they can impact achievement levels.

As in prior years, the performance-related incentive award for 2019 was payable in cash and equity with the Committee establishing threshold levels at which each component would begin to be earned. The Committee then established the amount of cash and equity that would be earned at target and maximum performance levels. The Committee believes that awarding a portion of the annual performance-related incentive award in equity that vests over time once earned further aligns our NEOs interests with the interests of our shareholders and encourages executive decision-making that maximizes value creation over the long-term and leads to share price appreciation.

In March of the subsequent year, the Committee determines the extent to which the level of financial performance was achieved and thereafter the dollar value of any cash or equity earned by each NEO. In the event that growth falls anywhere between the specified performance levels, linear interpolation is applied to determine the appropriate payout. The amount of equity awarded is calculated by dividing the dollar amount earned by the NEO for EBITDA Growth by the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of issuance in March of the year following the performance year. Once issued, the equity vests ratably in equal annual installments over the following three years, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.

For 2019, the Committee established the following threshold, target and maximum opportunities for our performance-related incentive awards and the amounts that would be paid in cash and equity. As in prior years, the Committee chose to use RSUs for the equity portion of the annual performance-related incentive award rather than restricted stock based on tax considerations.


Bonus Opportunity – EBITDA

Kasbar	Equity	$	100,000	$	600,000	$	3,492,500
	Cash		70,000		900,000		2,857,500

	Total		150,000		500,000		1,750,000

The Committee then determined the performance levels of EBITDA at which the performance-related incentive awards could be earned by our NEOs, beginning with our income from operations calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, excluding depreciation, amortization and adjusting for non-operational items to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee. The following EBITDA performance levels for 2019 were based on growth over the previous year and our internal budgets, with the threshold, target and maximum performance levels representing significant growth over the previous year.

For each of Messrs. Crosby and Rau, a portion of their performance-related incentive award was also based on the Operating Income of select parts of our business for which they had responsibility. For Mr. Crosby, this amount was based on the Operating Income of our government-related physical operations ("Physical Operations LOS") and the Operating Income of our land segment, excluding our payment processing operations and Physical Operations LOS ("Land LOS"). For Mr. Rau, this amount was based on the combined Operating Income of our marine segment and our aviation segment, excluding our payment processing operations and Physical Operations LOS ("Aviation/Marine LOS").

For 2019, the Committee set the following threshold, target and maximum cash bonus opportunities for the Operating Income of Messrs. Crosby's and Rau's respective lines of sight.

The Committee established the threshold, target and maximum performance levels for each line of sight based on our confidential operating plan. The threshold was set above the prior year's performance, while the target level represented significant growth and the maximum performance level was intended to be extremely challenging, representing extraordinary annual growth.

As part of its annual incentive program, the Committee also rewards NEOs based on the achievement of certain strategic objectives that support key strategic and operational areas of focus for the year. In 2019, these objectives related to a number of Company initiatives, including sharpening the portfolio, digitizing the business to, among other things, enhance the customer experience and increase efficiencies, developing talent and fostering a culture of innovation, as well as driving operational efficiencies and increasing operating leverage. The Committee sets the maximum cash incentive at the beginning of the year and determines in March of the following year the percentage of cash compensation that will be awarded based on each NEO's individual achievement of their respective objectives. For 2019, the Committee set the following maximum cash incentive for each NEO based on the Committee's review of the objectives as whole and each individual NEO's contribution to achieving those objectives.

As discussed above, the Committee utilized the PSP equity award in 2019 based on the achievement of EPS Growth during the three-year performance period, as modified by our ROIC, in order to incentivize long-term growth. Under the PSP, executives are granted an opportunity each year to earn a fixed-dollar target award of equity (the "PSP Opportunity") which is issued at the beginning of a three-year performance period. The PSP Opportunity can be earned based on the achievement of a specified level of EPS Growth, as modified by our ROIC, for the three-year performance period beginning January 1st of the first year of the performance period and ending on December 31st of the

third year of the performance period. The corresponding payout for the level of EPS Growth achieved will then be modified upwards or downwards within a specified range based on our ROIC over the same three-year performance period.

The PSP award is designed to provide our executives with appropriate incentives to balance the objectives of maximizing earnings with a minimum amount of dilution, while at the same time ensuring an effective use of our capital resources. Once a three-year performance metric is set, it cannot be changed. At the beginning of the year following the end of the three-year performance period, the Committee will determine the level of EPS Growth achieved based on our financial results, and the corresponding payout will then be modified upwards or downwards within the specified range based on our ROIC percentage for the same three-year performance period. The executive will thereafter be delivered any earned equity in March of the year following the performance period.

Similar to 2018, the Committee utilized Performance SSARs in 2019 rather than RSUs. The exercise price of the Performance SSARs was set at $29.68 per share, which was the closing stock price on the grant date. The PSP Opportunity was then divided by the fair value of the Performance SSAR on the date of the award (based on Black Scholes) to calculate the number of SSARs to be issued. The Committee determined the threshold, target, excellence and maximum EPS Growth performance levels for the three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, as modified by our ROIC over that period, based on our internal targets, with the maximum performance set at a level that could only be attained when applicable results are exceptional and justify the higher bonus payout. Once earned, the applicable number of earned Performance SSARs would vest in March 2022, the third anniversary of the grant date, and expire in March 2024, the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

The Committee believes that this layering approach to long-term equity (1) is consistent with the practices of our compensation comparison companies and the broader market and (2) provides executives a consistent and continuous incentive to focus on our long-term growth in EPS and to share in increases in our market value, while maintaining effective use of our capital resources. For 2019, the PSP Opportunity and the target number of Performance SSARs granted by the Committee to each of our NEOs is set forth below.


	Performance SSARs

NEO	Target Grant Date	Target Number
	Dollar Value	of Performance SSARs
Kasbar	$ 1,000,000	109,290
Birns	500,000	54,645
Smith	500,000	54,645
Crosby	300,000	32,787
Rau	300,000	32,787

The Committee then established the following EPS Growth performance levels. The number of Performance SSARs earned in respect of the level of EPS Growth achieved for the three-year performance period will be adjusted upwards or downwards within the ranges set forth below based on our ROIC percentage for that period:

In the event that growth falls anywhere between the foregoing performance levels, linear interpolation will be applied to determine the appropriate payout.

During the evaluation of our NEO's 2019 compensation, the Committee determined to provide additional incentive for Mr. Kasbar to drive shareholder value and long-term sustained growth and awarded Mr. Kasbar a service-based SSAR award. The Committee concluded that such incentive would be appropriate to effectively motivate, reward and retain Mr. Kasbar while further aligning his interests with our shareholders. Consequently, in March 2019, the Committee granted Mr. Kasbar service-based SSARs with a grant date fair value of $1,000,000, which vests on the third anniversary of the grant date and expires on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. For more information about the SSARs, see the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards" table below.

In early March of 2020, the Committee determined our financial metrics achieved and the extent to which each of our NEOs achieved their strategic objectives. As part of this determination, the Committee could use its discretion to determine on a case-by-case basis the extent to which recognition or charges to EBITDA or Operating Income are to be included or excluded from the determination of the performance level achieved. For example, the Committee could adjust for non-operational items and one-time benefits that the Committee does not believe reflect our on-going business or the efforts of the NEOs. In addition, the Committee could exercise negative discretion on the prescribed incentive awards in accordance with the terms of the 2016 Omnibus Plan, as it deemed appropriate.

Company Profitability. The Committee evaluated our 2019 actual financial results and decided, consistent with the foregoing, to make adjustments for certain non-operational items, such as those associated with acquisition-related charges and restructuring-related costs, which the Committee believed did not adequately reflect the on-going business and financial performance of the Company or economic trends. Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Committee determined that our EBITDA performance was above the target level, totaling $409.2 million, or 109% of target. As a result, our NEOs received the following payouts under the cash and equity portions of the annual incentive awards:


	2019 Annual Incentive Award Payout EBITDA

NEO	Cash	Equity*
Kasbar	$ 1,868,903	80,815
Birns	734,614	31,766
Smith	734,614	31,766
Crosby	535,629	20,391
Rau	535,629	20,391

Line of Sight Profitability. The Committee also determined that (i) the Operating Income for the Aviation/Marine LOS was between the target and maximum level, (ii) the Operating Income for the Physical Operations LOS exceeded the maximum level and (iii) the Operating Income for the Land LOS did not meet the threshold level. Consequently, for this component of Messrs. Crosby and Rau's annual performance-based cash incentive awards, Mr. Crosby earned the maximum of $300,000 for the

Physical Operations component and zero for the Land component and Mr. Rau earned $612,319 for the Aviation/Marine component.

Strategic Objectives. The NEOs were successful in accomplishing several of their 2019 objectives, including successfully divesting of certain non-core business activities, digitizing several aspects of our back office functions to improve efficiencies and reduce cost, launching the myWorld portal in several lines of business to allow customers to manage their fuel purchases online using automated functionality, and expanding our talent development program through, among other things, the implementation of various rotational and internship opportunities. However, the Committee determined that the strategic objectives had not been fully accomplished to some degree by each of the NEOs. Accordingly, the Committee decided to exercise its negative discretion by reducing the value of the strategic objective cash incentive awards, such that Mr. Kasbar received $525,000, Mr. Birns received $240,000, Mr. Smith received $195,000, Mr. Crosby received $82,500 and Mr. Rau received $120,000.

Performance Share Plan. The 2019 financial year was the final year of the three-year performance period for the PSP award granted to Messrs. Kasbar, Birns, Crosby and Rau in 2017 (the "2017 PSP"). The Committee determined that the EPS Growth for the 2017 PSP, including adjustments for non-operational items such as acquisition-related charges, restructuring-related costs, and gains or losses on business dispositions or extinguishment of debt, had been met between the threshold and target levels as set forth below:

Consequently, the Committee determined that the NEOs had earned 81% of the RSUs granted under the 2017 PSP awards. The three-year performance periods for the 2018 and 2019 PSP awards have not yet passed, therefore, the Committee did not make a determination with respect to our EPS Growth for those awards.

We provide only standard employee benefits and limited perquisites to our NEOs. These are described below and reflected in the "All Other Compensation" column of the "Summary Compensation Table" and the accompanying footnote. The total amount of employee benefits and executive perquisites provided to the NEOs during 2019 represents only a small percentage of each NEO's total compensation and are comprised of those benefits which we believe are necessary to attract and retain executives. We believe that these benefits and perquisites are competitive in our industry and consistent with our overall compensation philosophy

We maintain the World Fuel Services Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, or our 401(k) Plan, to enable eligible employees to save for retirement through a tax-advantaged combination of elective employee contributions and our matching contributions. The 401(k) Plan allows eligible employees, including our NEOs, to elect to contribute a percentage of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis, up to the maximum dollar amounts permitted by law. In 2019, the maximum employee elective contribution to the 401(k) Plan was $19,000, plus an additional $6,000 for employees who were at least 50 years old in 2019. For 2019, we matched 50% of the first 6% of eligible compensation that each eligible participant elected to contribute to the 401(k) Plan.

We do not maintain any pension, supplemental executive retirement plan or other defined benefit retirement plans for our NEOs. However, we do permit that our NEOs participate in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan, or NQDC, that we offer to other senior employees based in the United States ("U.S."). As discussed under "Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation" later in this proxy, pursuant to the NQDC, participants may defer up to 75% of their base salary and up to 90% of any annual bonus, on a pre-tax basis, and an additional amount equal to any "excess contributions" that are refunded to them from the 401(k) Plan. We do not match any participant deferrals under the NQDC. During 2019, only Mr. Smith contributed to the NQDC. In addition, Mr. Kasbar also has a deferred compensation balance which arose as a result of his prior employment agreement that provided that any bonus payable to him that would not be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code ("Section 162(m)") for the year earned would be deferred until a fiscal year in which it would be deductible. Payment of the deferred bonus would be made in all events in the year in which Mr. Kasbar's employment terminates or the employment agreement expires. Any amount deferred in this manner is being credited with interest at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal.

Our NEOs are eligible for the same health and welfare benefits as are available to all our eligible employees during active employment. These benefits include medical, dental, vision, short- and long-term disability and term life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment coverage. Our NEOs receive additional individual disability insurance coverage and are eligible for additional executive life insurance coverage. We pay the entire cost of coverage of the term life insurance and executive life insurance as well as short-term disability and for Messrs. Kasbar and Birns, a portion of the cost of coverage for medical and dental insurance. Messrs. Kasbar, Birns, Crosby and Rau are also provided with a country club membership to be used for business entertainment purposes and to facilitate business meetings. Mr. Smith was also provided relocation services for a period of two years when he joined the Company in November 2017 and transitioned to our headquarters in Miami, Florida.

Our Committee believes that it is important to protect our intellectual capital. Accordingly, we have agreements and an executive severance policy with respect to our NEOs that provide consideration for, and thus ensure the effectiveness of, important non-compete and other restrictive covenants and consulting obligations applicable under such agreements or policy following termination of employment. The Committee believes that these arrangements serve to encourage the continued attention and dedication of the executives to their assigned duties and mitigate the uncertainty and questions a potential change of control may raise among executives. The Committee also believes these arrangements are appropriate and necessary to attract and retain these executives.

Our Committee generally views the potential payments and benefits payable under a termination or change of control scenario as a separate compensation element because such payments and benefits are not expected to be paid in a particular year and serve a different purpose for the executive than other elements of compensation. Accordingly, those payments and benefits do not significantly affect decisions regarding other elements of compensation. See "Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment or Change of Control" beginning on page 60 of this proxy statement for a discussion of these arrangements and certain compensation and benefits that will be provided in the event of the termination of the employment of our NEOs.

Our equity grant policy provides that equity grants made to NEOs related to prior year performance will be effective on March 15 of each year. Retention, promotion and performance share awards are typically granted in March of each year on the 15th or 31st. Annual grants of equity awards to directors are made on the date that the director is elected or re-elected to the Board. Grants made to new hires or existing employees (excluding executive officers) are made effective on one of the following quarterly dates per year: February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10.

Under the terms of the 2016 Omnibus Plan, we are not permitted to cancel outstanding stock options or SSARs for the purpose of re-pricing or otherwise replacing or re-granting such options or SSARs with an exercise or conversion price that is less than the exercise or conversion price of the original stock option or SSAR without shareholder consent. We do not have a program, plan or practice of timing equity award grants in order to benefit our executive officers or in coordination with the release of material non-public information.

Section 162(m) generally limits the U.S. federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to each of our NEOs to a maximum of $1 million in any calendar year (the "Deduction Limit"). For fiscal years prior to 2018, we were also permitted to deduct compensation to our NEOs in excess of the Deduction Limit (other than our Chief Financial Officer, who prior to 2018 was not subject to the Deduction Limit), if the compensation qualified as "performance-based" as defined under Section 162(m). To qualify as performance-based, certain pre-established objective performance goals or certain other conditions were required to be met. The Committee generally sought to structure incentive awards for our NEOs in a manner that preserved the tax deductibility of the compensation under the performance-based exemption. However, with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, the performance-based exception was eliminated, other than with respect to payments made pursuant to certain grandfathered arrangements. We believe that the 2017 PSP awards earned by the NEOs in 2019 qualify as performance-based compensation under the applicable grandfathering rules.

While the Committee considers tax implications as a factor in determining executive compensation, the Committee will continue to link pay with performance and consider other factors as noted above, including the long-term interests of our shareholders and other stakeholders. Accordingly, the Committee retains the flexibility to structure, where appropriate, compensation arrangements that are consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program, even if the awards are not deductible for tax purposes.

Before granting equity-based compensation awards, the Committee considers the accounting impact of the award, including the compensation cost and the grant date fair value, as structured and under various other scenarios in order to analyze the expected impact of the award. We expense the cost of our NEOs' equity-based compensation in accordance with the fair value method contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC)—"Compensation—Stock Compensation".

The Committee has adopted robust stock retention requirements and stock ownership guidelines to align the interests of our NEOs with those of our shareholders and ensure that the executives responsible for overseeing operations have an ongoing financial stake in the Company's success.

Our NEOs are required to retain at least 50% of any shares acquired (net of any shares that would need to be withheld or sold to satisfy any applicable income and employment taxes relating to the award) pursuant to any equity award granted after they become an executive officer for three years after the shares are delivered (or until the individual ceases to be an executive officer of the Company, if earlier). All our NEOs are in compliance with these retention requirements.

Our NEOs are subject to the stock ownership guidelines set forth below, which are expressed as a multiple of base salary determined by leadership level.

The stock ownership guidelines provide that executive officers must attain the applicable ownership requirement within five years of the date such individual becomes an executive officer. Equity vehicles that count towards compliance with the ownership requirement include: common stock, unvested time-based RSUs and the earned portion of performance-based awards. Unexercised stock options or stock appreciation rights, the unearned portion of performance-based awards and any shares of common stock that are pledged as collateral do not count towards the requirement.

The Committee uses the three-year average closing stock price on the last trading day of each fiscal year to determine compliance and to manage against the risk of the NEOs falling out of compliance due to volatility in the stock price. The Committee has discretion to determine the penalties for non-compliance, including: requiring the payment of cash incentives in equity, instituting a higher equity retention requirement and reducing or eliminating incentive compensation. Furthermore, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide waivers, additional time to regain compliance or other appropriate relief on a case-by-case basis due to hardships, dispositions due to court-ordered domestic relations orders ("DROs") or in the event of extreme volatility in the Company's stock price. All of our NEOs are in compliance with the policy, although one NEO was granted temporary relief for 2019 due

to a required disposition of shares pursuant to a DRO. As of the date of this proxy statement, however, such NEO is in full compliance with the policy.

Our directors are also subject to stock ownership requirements as described on page 33 of this proxy statement under "Director Stock Ownership Guidelines."

We prohibit our directors, executive officers, employees and their respective related persons from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions, or any transaction that hedges or offsets, or is designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company's securities, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds. We also do not allow our directors, executive officers, and employees to buy or sell publicly traded options based on our common stock or to engage in short sales of our securities. The purpose of these policies is to align the interests, including the economic risk of ownership, of directors, executive officers, employees and shareholders.

We also discourage our directors, executive officers and employees from holding our common stock in a margin account or pledging our common stock as collateral for a loan. Any directors or executive officers who wish to pledge shares must first obtain the prior approval of our Chief Legal Officer and the Governance Committee. As noted above, any shares pledged as collateral will not count towards any executive officer's respective stock ownership requirement.

The Committee is responsible for establishing and administering the executive compensation programs of the Company. The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement on Schedule 14A.

The following table summarizes the "total compensation" of our named executive officers for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 according to the rules promulgated by the SEC.

(1): The amounts shown represent the estimated aggregate grant date fair value of the awards made in each fiscal year relating to RSUs and SSARs granted to the NEOs. The estimated grant date fair value of these awards is based on the grant date market value of our common stock as defined in the 2016 Omnibus Plan and is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used in determining the aggregate grant date fair value of awards are set forth in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years presented in Item 15 of the respective annual reports on Form 10-K.
(2): For 2019, the Stock Awards column for Messrs. Kasbar, Birns, Smith, Crosby and Rau reflects the RSUs issued in connection with the 2018 annual incentive program based on EBITDA Growth that were awarded in March 2019. For 2019, the Option Awards column reflects the three-year Performance SSARs that were awarded in March 2019 under the PSP program. A determination of the amount of the Performance SSARs, if any, that will be earned will be made in March 2022. See "Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table" for more information.
(3): This amount reflects an annual cash incentive award earned by each NEO based on EBITDA Growth in 2019 as well as strategic objective cash incentive awards earned by each of the NEOs based upon their achieving a portion of their 2019 strategic objectives.
(4): Reflects interest accrued in connection with a portion of the bonus earned by Mr. Kasbar for the 2002 fiscal year, which was deferred pursuant to a provision of his previous employment agreement that provided that any amount so deferred would be credited with interest at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (the "Kasbar Accrued Interest"). The portion reflected in this column is the portion of the Kasbar Accrued Interest that constitutes "above market earnings" within the meaning of the applicable SEC rules. The full amount of the Kasbar Accrued Interest is reflected in the "Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table" on page 60 of this proxy statement.
(5): Details of the 2019 amounts set forth in this column are included in the "2019 All Other Compensation Table" on page 56 of this proxy statement. For Mr. Kasbar, the 2018 and 2017 amounts in this column previously included the full amount of the Kasbar Accrued Interest for such years in the amount of $10,070 and $8,027, respectively. The "above market earnings" portion of the Kasbar Accrued Interest for such years is now reflected in the "Change in Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Earnings" column of this table.
(6): This amount includes the grant date fair value of a service-based award to Mr. Kasbar of 109,290 SSARs, which vest in March 2022.
(7): This amount also includes an annual cash incentive award earned by Messrs. Crosby and Rau based on Operating Income growth for their respective LOS in the amount of $300,000 and $612,319, respectively.

ending on December 31, 2021. Depending on the percentage of ROIC achieved for the period, the range of payout based on EPS Growth will be as follows: (i) threshold—40% to 60% of target, (ii) target—80% to 120% of target, (iii) maximum—160% to 200% of target. For purposes of this table, the lowest level of the threshold range, the mid-point of the target range and the highest level of the maximum range is assumed. Please see the discussion regarding the compensation programs for the NEOs beginning on page 44 of this proxy statement for additional information.

(2): The amounts shown reflect the RSUs issued as the 2018 annual performance-related equity incentive awards based on our 2018 adjusted EBITDA of $360.3 million. These RSUs are thereafter subject to service-based vesting and vest one-third annually beginning March 2020.
(3): The amount shown reflects a service-based SSAR award that will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date in March 2022. Please see the discussion regarding this award on page 49 of this proxy statement for additional information.
(4): The amounts shown reflect the estimated aggregate grant date fair value of the stock awards. The estimated aggregate fair value of our stock awards is based on the grant date market value of our common stock, as defined in the 2016 Omnibus Plan and is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.
(5): The amounts shown reflect the threshold, target and maximum payouts that could have been earned as 2019 annual performance related cash incentive awards. For 2019, our adjusted EBITDA was $409.2 million and as a result, Mr. Kasbar earned $1,868,903, Messrs. Birns and Smith each earned $734,614 and Messrs. Crosby and Rau each earned $535,629 for the EBITDA component of their annual incentive compensation program. For Messrs. Crosby and Rau, this also includes cash incentive awards that could be earned based on Operating Income growth for the respective LOS for which they are responsible. For 2019, the Operating Income for the Physical Operations LOS exceeded the maximum level and the Operating Income for the Land LOS did not meet the threshold level. Accordingly, Mr. Crosby earned the maximum of $300,000 for the Physical Operations component and zero for the Land component. The Operating Income for the Aviation/Marine LOS was between the target and maximum level and therefore Mr. Rau earned $612,319 for this component. Please see the discussion regarding the compensation programs for the NEOs beginning on page 44 of this proxy statement for additional information.
(6): The amounts shown include the threshold and maximum payouts that could have been earned as strategic objective cash incentive awards. For 2019, the NEOs achieved only a portion of their strategic objectives and therefore the Committee reduced the amounts payable to the NEOs. Please see the discussion regarding the compensation programs for the NEOs beginning on page 44 of this proxy statement for additional information.

The following table sets forth the outstanding equity awards at fiscal year-end, or December 31, 2019, for our named executive officers.

The following table sets forth the stock vested during the year ended December 31, 2019 for our named executive officers.

The following table sets forth non-qualified deferred compensation during the year ended December 31, 2019 for the named executive officers set forth below.

We offer our executives and other senior employees based in the U.S. an opportunity to defer compensation under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, or NQDC. Pursuant to the NQDC, participants may defer up to 75% of their base salary and up to 90% of any annual bonus, on a pre-tax basis, and an additional amount equal to any "excess contributions" that are refunded to them from the 401(k) Plan. We do not match any participant deferrals under the NQDC. Participants can elect from a variety of investment choices for their deferred compensation and gains and losses on these investments are credited to their respective accounts. Participants may elect, depending on whether their termination is in connection with retirement or otherwise, to receive deferred amounts in a lump sum, in annual installments over a period of up to ten years, or in a partial lump sum with the balance paid in installments. However, these payments are accelerated upon a change in control or the death of the participant.

(1): Mr. Kasbar's prior employment agreement provided that any bonuses payable to him that would not be deductible under Section 162(m) for the year earned would be deferred until a fiscal year in which it would be deductible (or until the year in which Mr. Kasbar's employment terminates or the employment agreement expires), and that any amount so deferred would be credited with interest at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. A portion of the bonus earned by Mr. Kasbar for the 2002 fiscal year, equal to $109,375, was deferred pursuant to that provision of his employment agreement and remains unpaid. The portion of these earnings in the last fiscal year that constitute "above market earnings" within the meaning of the applicable SEC rules, is reflected in the "Summary Compensation Table" on page 55 of this proxy statement.
(2): Represents the amount Mr. Smith contributed to the NQDC during 2019. For more information on the NQDC, see "Retirement and Deferred Compensation" on page 51 of this proxy statement.

Our employment agreement with Mr. Kasbar (the "Kasbar Agreement") and executive severance agreement with Mr. Birns (the "Birns Agreement") each provides for the payment of certain compensation and benefits in the event of the termination of the executive's employment, the amount of which varies depending upon the reason for such termination. In lieu of entering into separate executive severance agreements with each of Messrs. Crosby and Rau in connection with their promotions to executive officers, our Board adopted an Executive Severance Policy ("ESP") applicable to Messrs. Crosby and Rau and other executives that the Committee may subsequently designate as participating executives. Upon his appointment as our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in October 2017, Mr. Smith was designated a participating executive. The ESP provides for the payment of certain severance payments and benefits in the event of a termination of such executives' employment in certain specified circumstances.

Each of the Kasbar Agreement, the Birns Agreement and the ESP provides for certain benefits (1) if the NEO's employment is terminated due to Death or Disability, (2) if the NEO's employment is

terminated by the Company without "Cause" (as that term is defined in the relevant agreement or arrangement) or (3) if the NEO terminates his employment with "Good Reason" (as that term is defined in the relevant agreement or arrangement, which for Messrs. Crosby and Rau is within two (2) years after a Change of Control has occurred). If the employment of any of the four covered NEOs is Terminated without Cause or for Good Reason within two (2) years after a Change of Control then the severance benefits are slightly higher. The actual amounts of such payments are set forth in the table below the relevant definitions.

Kasbar Agreement—Under the Kasbar Agreement, "cause" means (i) any act of fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement or material dishonesty by Mr. Kasbar, which results in his personal enrichment at our expense; (ii) willful misconduct that results in material economic harm to us; (iii) a felony conviction or conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude; (iv) the willful and continued material failure of Mr. Kasbar to perform his duties under the Kasbar Agreement; (v) a willful and material breach by Mr. Kasbar of his non-compete, non-solicitation, non-disparagement or cooperation obligations under the Kasbar Agreement (and in the case of (i) through (v) the failure to cure such breach); or (vi) a material breach by Mr. Kasbar of our Code of Conduct, Securities Trading Policy or any other related corporate and personnel policies generally applicable to our executives or employees.

Birns Agreement—Under the Birns Agreement, "cause" means (i) the willful, material failure by Mr. Birns to perform the duties consistent with his position or to comply with the obligations of the Birns Agreement, or his willful, material failure to carry out the reasonable and lawful directions of our CEO, President or Board and not curing such failure; (ii) any willful and material breach of our Code of Conduct or any other Company policy; (iii) Mr. Birns' gross negligence or willful misconduct which is harmful to us, monetarily or otherwise, including but not limited to fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement; (iv) use of alcohol, drugs or other similar substances during work hours, other than at a Company sanctioned event, or at any time in a manner that adversely affects his work performance; (v) being charged with a criminal offense that is a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or (vi) a material breach of the Birns Agreement that cannot be cured.

ESP—Under the ESP, "cause" means (i) the failure by the executive to perform, in a reasonable manner, his or her duties as assigned by the Company or any subsidiary (or any successor company); (ii) any violation or breach by the executive of his or her employment agreement, consulting or other similar agreement with the Company or any subsidiary (or successor company), if any; (iii) any actual or threatened violation or breach by the executive of any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure and/or other similar agreement with the Company or any subsidiary (or successor company); (iv) any violation or breach by the executive of any Company policy; (v) any act by the executive of dishonesty or fraud that injures the reputation or business of, or causes harm to, the Company or any subsidiary (or successor company); (vi) the conviction of, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; or (vii) the executive's impeding of, interfering with, or failing to reasonably cooperate with an investigation authorized by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate. In the event of a change of control, upon and during the two years following such change of control, clauses (i)-(v) above will be deemed to have the term "materiality" inserted as a qualifier to each instance of violation, breach or other misconduct by the executive.

None of the agreements or arrangements provide for any payment of severance or other benefits in the case of a Termination With Cause, although our Deferred Compensation Plan requires repayment of prior earnings that have been deferred irrespective of the basis for employment being terminated and our paid-time-off policy provides that all employees are entitled to their accrued but unused vacation upon termination.

Kasbar Agreement—Under the Kasbar Agreement, "good reason" means (i) any reduction in the annual base salary of Mr. Kasbar to a level that is less than 85% of Mr. Kasbar's base salary for the immediately preceding year or our failure to pay or provide any material compensation or benefit other than an insubstantial and inadvertent reduction that is remedied by us; (ii) following a change of control, our failure to provide Mr. Kasbar his total annual cash compensation, including bonus, total aggregate value of perquisites, total aggregate value of benefits or total aggregate value of long-term compensation equal to or higher than the highest level received by Mr. Kasbar in the preceding 6 months or 1 year, in certain cases, other than an insubstantial and inadvertent failure that is remedied by us; (iii) if we require Mr. Kasbar to be based at a location outside of Miami-Dade County, Florida; (iv) our failure to obtain any successor's agreement to perform and assume the Kasbar Agreement; (v) without the express prior written consent of Mr. Kasbar, assigning Mr. Kasbar any duties that are materially inconsistent with his current position (including titles and reporting relationships) or making any other material adverse change in his position, authority, responsibilities or status; and (vi) a voluntary termination by Mr. Kasbar for any reason within 30 days following the first anniversary of a change of control.

Birns Agreement—The definition of "good reason" in the Birns Agreement means the occurrence of any of the following (i) the assignment to the executive of any duties materially inconsistent with his position, authority, duties or responsibility or any other action by us that results in a material diminution in his position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding any action not taken by us in bad faith that is remedied; (ii) any reduction in, or failure to pay the executive's base salary other than a reduction or failure remedied by us; (iii) within two years after the occurrence of a change of control, any failure by us to provide the executive his bonus and equity opportunities, or employee benefits and perquisites in the aggregate, that are not less than those provided to the executive in the calendar year immediately preceding the change of control, other than a failure not occurring in bad faith that is remedied by us; or (iv) if we require the executive to be based at any office or location outside of Miami-Dade or Broward County.

ESP—The definition of "good reason" under the ESP is substantially the same as the definition included in the Birns Agreement, except that the events have to have occurred within two years after a "Change of Control" (as defined in the ESP). Specifically, an executive will have the ability to terminate his employment with "Good Reason" upon the happening of any of the following within two years after a "Change of Control": (i) the assignment to the executive of any duties materially inconsistent with his position, authority, duties or responsibility or any other action by us that results in a material diminution in his position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding any action not taken by us in bad faith that is remedied; (ii) any reduction in, or failure to pay the executive's base salary other than a reduction or failure remedied by us; (iii) any failure by us to provide the executive his bonus and equity opportunities, or employee benefits and perquisites in the aggregate, that are not less than those provided to the executive in the calendar year immediately preceding the change of control, other than a failure not occurring in bad faith that is remedied by us; or (iv) if we require the executive to be based at any office or location outside of Miami-Dade or Broward County.

Under the Kasbar Agreement, the Birns Agreement and the ESP, a "change of control" is deemed to have occurred if (i) any person or "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), excluding any employee benefit plans, becomes the beneficial owner of at least (a) 30% (in the case of the ESP) or (b) 20% (in the case of the Kasbar Agreement or the Birns Agreement) of the combined voting power of our outstanding common stock; (ii) we merge, consolidate, reorganize or carry out any similar event which results in the holders of our common stock prior to the event owning less than 51% of the total voting power of the capital stock of the surviving company; (iii) our current Board ceases to make up at least ²/3 of our Board, the board of the surviving company or the board of the controlling company, as the case may be, with the exception that any director approved by a vote of at least ²/3 of our current Board will be considered to be a member of our current Board; or (iv) we are liquidated or dissolved or we sell all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, the Kasbar Agreement provides that a change of control is deemed to have occurred if we enter into an agreement or our Board passes a resolution to do any of the items listed in (i)-(iv) above and Mr. Kasbar's employment is terminated after the execution of any such agreement or the passage of any such resolution, but before the event takes place.

Kasbar Agreement—As set forth in the table below, upon the occurrence of a termination by Mr. Kasbar for good reason, by the Company without cause, following a change of control or non-renewal, we will make the following payments:

Upon the occurrence of a termination by Mr. Kasbar without good reason, by the Company for cause or by the Company due to Mr. Kasbar's death or disability, Mr. Kasbar will be entitled to the payments specified in (i) above.

Birns Agreement and ESP—As set forth in the table below, under the Birns Agreement and the ESP, upon the occurrence of a termination by the Company without Cause or by the executive for good reason we will make the following payments:

Upon the occurrence of a termination due to death or disability, Mr. Birns will be entitled to the payments specified in (i)-(iii) above and, under the ESP, Messrs. Smith, Crosby and Rau will be entitled to the payments specified in (i)-(iv) above.

The estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to each of the NEOs pursuant to their respective agreements or the ESP, as the case may be, as a result of (1) Termination by Company for Cause or by Executive Without Good Reason, (2) Termination by Company Without Cause, (3) Termination by Executive for Good Reason, (4) Termination by Company Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason within two (2) years of a Change of Control, and (5) Termination of employment due to death or disability are set forth in the table below. Calculations for this table are based on the assumption that the termination took place on December 31, 2019. In order to receive the benefits set forth below, an executive must satisfy certain restrictive covenants for a specified period of time after the termination event before any cash severance payment is made. We have the right to

not pay or provide these benefits or discontinue the payment and provision of these benefits if the executive fails to satisfy such obligations.

(1): The amounts in this column are the severance payments payable to our NEOs upon the occurrence of the relevant event. For Messrs. Birns, Smith, Crosby and Rau, this represents a severance payment equal to a multiple of their base salary as of the termination date (based on their actual salary as of December 31, 2019), payable over a 24-month period.
(2): The amounts in this column are the bonuses payable to the executive, prorated through the date of termination. Amounts are paid when, and to the extent that, they would have been paid had the executive's employment not terminated. For Messrs. Kasbar and Birns, this amount reflects the amounts earned by the executive for the year-ended December 31, 2019. For Messrs. Smith, Crosby, and Rau this amount reflects the amounts earned by the executive for the year-ended December 31, 2019, other than any bonuses that may be earned based on achievement of non-financial objectives, which are payable at

target only in the case of Death or Disability or upon a Termination without Cause or for Good Reason within the two-year period following a Change of Control.

(3): Each executive is entitled to receive continuation of his medical benefits generally for 18 months following the date of termination. This column reflects the current cost of COBRA premiums for such period and for purposes of this table, we have assumed the maximum premiums would be paid. Mr. Kasbar is also entitled to be reimbursed for the cost of obtaining comparable private health insurance coverage until the age of 65 up to a maximum of $150,000. Mr. Kasbar will turn 65 in 2021 and therefore his amount only reflects the cost of COBRA premiums until such time.
(4): The totals in this column do not include (i) additional amounts payable to the executive under the Company's other employment programs that are applicable to all employees and (ii) any amounts that may be realized upon acceleration of outstanding equity to the extent that such executive is terminated, including after a change in control. Specifically, in accordance with the Company's policies, upon any termination, all employees are entitled to certain accrued obligations including salary earned through the date of termination, unreimbursed business expenses incurred in accordance with Company policy and a payment for unused paid time off. In addition, Mr. Kasbar is entitled to receive his non-qualified deferred compensation from a previously earned bonus upon any separation from us. Please see "Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation" table beginning on page 60 for an explanation of this amount.
(5): If Mr. Kasbar's employment agreement is not renewed at the end of its term, Mr. Kasbar is entitled to the same amount of payments and benefits as if he were terminated without Cause.
(6): As discussed above, our ESP defines "Good Reason" to have occurred only if certain events have happened within two years after a Change of Control has occurred. Consequently, for Messrs. Smith, Crosby, and Rau, any termination by him of his employment absent a Change of Control will be deemed a Termination without Good Reason.

Our outstanding equity awards are subject to a "double trigger" in the event of a Change of Control where the awards are replaced or substituted by the acquiror. Consequently, in addition to the amounts set forth in the table above, outstanding equity held by each of the NEOs would only accelerate to the extent that such executive was terminated in the two years following a Change of Control. Specifically, (i) our outstanding service-based SSARs would vest and be exercisable until the earlier of (a) two years plus 90 days following the termination date or (b) the expiration date, (ii) our service-based RSUs would vest and (iii) our outstanding RSUs and SSARs granted under the PSP would vest at either target or actual, as determined by the Committee, depending on the date of termination. The PSP SSARs are thereafter exercisable until the earlier of: (a) one year after the termination date, or (b) the expiration date. With respect to any of the SSARs that vest as set forth above, the executive would be entitled to receive shares with a value equal to the difference between the conversion price of the SSAR, which ranges from $27.52 and $57.48, and the closing price of our common stock on the date of exercise.

Our equity award agreements further provide that the outstanding equity awards held by our NEOs will pro-rata accelerate upon a Termination without Cause or upon death or disability. In addition, Mr. Kasbar's employment agreement provides that, in addition to the conditions for acceleration set forth above, the outstanding equity held by Mr. Kasbar will accelerate upon a Termination with Good Reason or upon the non-renewal of his employment agreement.

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, Michael J. Kasbar.

As of December 31, 2017, our employee population consisted of approximately 5,225 individuals working at the Company and our subsidiaries, of which approximately 2,501 were located in the U.S. (and approximately 2,724 were located outside the U.S.). We selected December 31, 2017, the last day of our fiscal year, as the determination date for identifying the median employee. In connection with this analysis, we excluded 49 employees, which were all of our employees located in Sweden.

In 2017, we identified the median employee by calculating the amount of annual total cash compensation (salary plus bonus, commissions, and the portion of long-term cash awards paid in 2017) paid to all of our employees (other than our CEO). We did not make any cost-of-living or other adjustments in identifying the median employee. Based on this methodology, the median employee in 2017 was a full-time, salaried employee in the U.S.

There have been no material changes in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements in that would significantly impact the process that we used to identify the median employee for the 2017 compensation. However, the median employee identified for 2017 was not employed by us on December 31, 2019. Therefore, as permitted by the SEC rules, we replaced the 2017 median employee's compensation with that of another employee whose compensation was substantially similar to that of the 2017 median employee. For 2019, the median employee is also a full-time, salaried employee in the U.S.

Once we identified our 2019 median employee, we then calculated the 2019 annual total compensation for such employee in accordance with the requirements of the executive compensation rules for the Summary Compensation Table (Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K). Under this calculation, the median employee's annual total compensation in 2019 was $59,716. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the "Total" column of the Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement. The resulting ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of the median employee was 119 to 1.

Introduction

The Board recognizes that executive compensation is an important matter for our shareholders. The guiding principles of our executive compensation philosophy and practice continue to be to: (i) attract, motivate and retain the exceptional management talent required to achieve above average growth and profitability, (ii) focus on rewarding the types of performance that increase shareholder value, (iii) link executive compensation to our long-term strategic objectives and (iv) align executives' interests with those of our shareholders.

Pursuant to amendments to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our shareholders to vote to approve or not approve, on an advisory basis, the executive compensation philosophy, policies and procedures described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 36 of this proxy statement, and the compensation of our NEOs, as disclosed in this proxy statement. As an advisory vote, the results of this vote will not be binding on us, our Board or the Compensation Committee. However, our Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders, and will consider the outcome of this vote when making future decisions on the compensation of our NEOs and evaluating our executive compensation principles, policies and procedures.

The Board believes that our executive compensation programs follow the guiding principles stated above. In order to align the interests of our senior executives with those of our shareholders, our executive compensation framework emphasizes the following:

This framework has resulted in compensation for our NEOs that is commensurate with our financial results, as demonstrated by the higher payouts in 2019 as compared to the previous year. Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to vote, in an advisory manner, "FOR" the adoption of the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to our NEOs, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion above is hereby APPROVED."

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal is required for the approval of the non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NEOS, AS DISCLOSED PURSUANT TO ITEM 402 OF REGULATION S-K, INCLUDING THE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, COMPENSATION TABLES AND NARRATIVE DISCUSSION CONTAINED
ABOVE IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

The Audit Committee appoints, compensates, retains and oversees our auditors. The Committee engages in an annual evaluation of the independent registered certified public accounting firm, or "independent auditor," qualifications, performance and independence and considers the advisability and potential impact of selecting a different independent registered certified public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee has selected PwC to serve as our independent auditor for 2020. In accordance with SEC rules and PwC policies, audit partners are subject to rotation requirements to limit the number of consecutive years an individual partner may provide audit service to us. For lead and concurring review audit partners, the maximum number of consecutive years of service in that capacity is five years. The process for selection of our lead audit partner pursuant to this rotation policy includes meetings between the Chairman and the members of the Audit Committee and the candidates for the role, as well as discussion by the full committee with input from management.

The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of PwC as our independent auditor is in our best interests and those of our shareholders, and we are asking our shareholders to ratify the selection of PwC as our independent auditor for 2020. Although the Board is submitting the selection of PwC to our shareholders for ratification, the Audit Committee is not required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal. If our shareholders do not ratify the selection of PwC as our independent registered certified public accounting firm, other independent registered certified public accounting firms will be considered by our Audit Committee, but the Audit Committee may nonetheless choose to engage PwC. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered certified public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interest of us and our shareholders.

Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire and will be available to respond to questions.

The following table presents aggregate fees for professional audit services rendered by PwC for the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and fees billed for other services rendered by PwC during those periods.

Consistent with requirements of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee (i) appoints, (ii) negotiates and sets the compensation of and (iii) oversees the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a pre-approval policy for all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by our independent auditors to ensure that providing such services does not impair the auditors' independence. There are two types of pre-approval under the policy, general and specific. Under the general type of pre-approval, proposed services are pre-approved on a categorical basis for up to 12 months and must be detailed as to the particular services provided and sufficiently specific and objective so that no judgments by management are required to determine whether a specific service falls within the pre-approved category. The Audit Committee reviews the general pre-approval categories on a periodic basis and approves the fee levels for each category annually. Under the specific type of pre-approval, proposed services, such as the annual audit engagement terms and fees, are approved on a case-by-case basis. Any services that have not been generally pre-approved or that exceed the approved fee levels must be specifically pre-approved. Specific pre-approval must be obtained from the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee has delegated the authority to the Chairman of the Audit Committee to pre-approve audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered certified public accounting firm so long as such services: (a) involve fees of less than $100,000, and (b) are subsequently reported to and approved by the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee approved all services provided by, and all fees paid to, PwC. The Audit Committee has considered the services provided by PwC as described above and has determined that such services are compatible with maintaining PwC's independence.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and with the independent registered certified public accounting firm the audited consolidated financial statements for the 2019 fiscal year. The Audit Committee has also performed the other reviews and duties set forth in its charter. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered certified public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communication with Audit Committees, as adopted by the PCAOB.

Additionally, the Audit Committee has: (i) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered certified public accounting firm required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered certified public accounting firm's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence; (ii) considered whether the provision of tax and accounting research and other non-audit services by our independent registered certified public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining their independence; and (iii) discussed with the independent registered certified public accounting firm their independence from us and our management.

In reliance on the foregoing reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2019 fiscal year for filing with the SEC.

In determining whether to reappoint PwC as our independent registered certified public accounting firm for 2020, the Audit Committee considered the qualifications, performance and independence of the firm and the audit engagement team, together with the following factors:

In light of the Audit Committee's views on the performance of PwC, it is the Audit Committee's belief that continuing to retain PwC is in our best interest and those of our shareholders. Consequently, the Audit Committee has appointed PwC as our independent registered certified public accounting firm for fiscal year 2020 and recommends that shareholders ratify the appointment at the Annual Meeting.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act that might incorporate future filings, including this proxy statement, in whole or in part, the Report of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee Report above shall not be incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
"FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP
AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
FOR THE 2020 FISCAL YEAR

On March 12, 2020, the Board approved the adoption of the World Fuel Services Corporation 2020 Omnibus Plan (the "2020 Plan" or the "Plan"), subject to approval by our shareholders. The Board of Directors adopted the 2020 Plan as a flexible omnibus incentive compensation plan that would allow the Company to use different forms of compensation awards to attract new employees, executives and directors, to further the goal of retaining and motivating employees and directors and to further align such individuals' interests with those of our shareholders.

The use of equity as part of our compensation program is important because it fosters a pay-for-performance culture, which is an essential element of our overall compensation philosophy. We believe that equity compensation motivates individuals to create shareholder value since the value they ultimately realize from such compensation is based on our stock performance. As described in greater detail below, the Board believes that the effective use of equity-based compensation and performance-based compensation has been integral to our success in the past and is a key component of our ability to drive strong performance in the future. Accordingly, the Board is seeking shareholder approval of the 2020 Plan. The summary that follows represents the terms of the 2020 Plan in the event it is approved by the shareholders.

The following information regarding the 2020 Plan is being provided to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the approval of the adoption of the 2020 Plan. The following description of the 2020 Plan is a summary only and does not purport to be complete. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2020 Plan. The text of the 2020 Plan is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement. You are urged to read the 2020 Plan.

The 2020 Plan is intended to replace our 2016 Omnibus Plan (the "2016 Plan"). No new awards will be granted under the 2016 Plan upon approval of the 2020 Plan by our shareholders, however, outstanding awards under the 2016 Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 2016 Plan until exercised, settled, expired or otherwise terminated or canceled. If the 2020 Plan is approved, the number of shares of our common stock (the "Stock") that will be available for issuance under the 2020 Plan pursuant to any form of equity awards permitted under the 2020 Plan will be equal to the sum of (a) 1,550,000 shares of Stock plus (b) any shares of Stock remaining available for future awards under the 2016 Plan on the date the 2020 Plan is approved by the Company's shareholders (of which there were 2.4 million shares of Stock remaining available for future awards under the 2016 Plan as of March 30, 2020); plus (c) any shares of Stock with respect to awards that were granted under the 2020 Plan, the 2016 Plan or our 2006 Omnibus Plan (the "2006 Plan" and together with the 2016 Plan, the "Prior Plans") that are forfeited or canceled (e.g., due to the recipient's failure to satisfy applicable service or performance conditions) after the 2020 Plan is approved by the Company's shareholders. However, shares of Stock with respect to awards under the 2020 Plan or the Prior Plans that are withheld or tendered or not issued to the Participant to satisfy tax withholding obligations or to pay the exercise price of an award under the 2020 Plan or any award under a Prior Plan would not become available for issuance pursuant to the 2020 Plan.

In its determination to recommend that the Board approve the 2020 Plan, the Compensation Committee reviewed a summary of the 2020 Plan terms and the share usage, overhang and dilution metrics set forth below, as well as market practices and trends and the cost of the 2020 Plan. The following table summarizes the number of shares (in millions) that were authorized for issuance related

to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans and available for future awards under the 2016 Plan as of March 30, 2020 (in millions).

Our Board recognizes the impact of dilution on our shareholders and has evaluated this impact carefully in the context of the need to attract, retain, motivate and ensure that our leadership team and key employees are focused on our strategic priorities and their interests are aligned with those of our shareholders. We had approximately 65.5 million shares outstanding as of March 30, 2020.

The aggregate total of 6.4 million shares represents a fully-diluted overhang of approximately 8.9% of our shares of Stock outstanding as of March 30, 2020. If the 2020 Plan is approved, the 1.55 million newly authorized shares requested would increase the overhang to approximately 10.8%. Overhang is calculated as the total of (a) shares underlying outstanding awards plus shares available for issuance under future equity awards, divided by (b) the total number of shares outstanding, shares underlying outstanding awards and shares available for issuance under future equity awards. Our Board believes that the proposed share reserve represents a reasonable amount of potential equity dilution to accommodate our long-term strategic and growth priorities.

We believe we have demonstrated our commitment to sound equity compensation practices. For example, as set forth in the table below, our average three-year burn rate for 2017, 2018 and 2019 is 1.69%. Our average three-year burn rate is calculated as the number of shares granted under the 2016 Plan in each fiscal year, including SSARs, PSSARs, RSAs, RSUs, and performance-based RSUs ("PSUs"), divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Management and our Board are cognizant of the expense attributable to compensatory stock awards, as well as dilution, and strive to maintain both at appropriate levels.

The 2020 Plan and our equity grant practices are designed to reflect leading corporate governance practices and protect shareholder interests:

FEATURE/PRACTICE				DESCRIPTION


No Liberal Share Recycling				Neither shares of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations or in payment of the exercise price of an award either under the 2020 Plan or a Prior Plan nor any shares of Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of an award under the 2020 Plan or Prior Plan paid to the Company by or on behalf of the Participant would be available again for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery under the 2020 Plan. Each share of Stock with respect to which a SAR is exercised would be counted as one share of Stock against the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan, regardless of the number of shares of Stock actually delivered upon settlement of such SAR.

No Evergreen Provision				The Plan does not contain an "evergreen" feature that automatically replenishes the shares available for future grants under the 2020 Plan.

No Automatic Grants				The Plan does not provide for automatic grants to any participant.

No Tax Gross-Ups				The Plan does not provide for any tax gross-ups.

No Discounted Options or SARs				Options and SARs may not be granted with exercise prices lower than the market value of the underlying shares on the grant date.

Explicit "No Repricing" Provisions				Subject to certain adjustment provisions, the Plan expressly provides that the terms of Options or SARs may not be amended, substituted or replaced or re-granted, without shareholder approval, to (1) reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or SARs or (2) cancel outstanding options or SARs in exchange for Options or SARs with a lower exercise price.

Minimum Vesting/ Minimum Retention				Stock-based awards are subject to a minimum vesting period of one year, subject to a de minimis exception and a further exception in connection with a participant's death or disability. In addition, as discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement, our stock ownership and retention guidelines require our NEOs to retain 50% of any net after-tax shares acquired pursuant to any equity award for three years after the shares are delivered (or until the individual ceases to be an executive officer, if earlier) and own shares of our Stock with a total value equal to a specified multiple of their base salary, based on level.

Individual Limits on Awards				The Plan limits the number of shares of Stock underlying performance compensation awards that may be granted to a participant in a calendar year. There are further limits on the number of shares underlying awards that may be granted to independent directors.

FEATURE/PRACTICE				DESCRIPTION


No discretionary authority to accelerate upon termination				The Committee does not have discretionary authority to accelerate vesting of an award in the event of a participant's termination of employment other than in connection with the participant's death or disability.

Double-trigger vesting of awards upon a Change of Control				Awards do not accelerate upon a Change of Control (as defined below), unless the employee is terminated without Cause (as defined below) within 12 months following the Change of Control or the awards are not assumed by the acquiror. For performance awards outstanding at the Change of Control, (i) the performance period would end on the date immediately prior to such Change of Control, (ii) the Committee would determine the actual level of achievement of performance goals based upon the Company's audited or unaudited financial information or other information then available as the Committee deems relevant and (iii) the earned amount of performance awards will continue to be subject to any service-based vesting conditions that remain in place.

No liberal Change of Control definition				The definition of Change of Control would require consummation, not only shareholder approval, of a merger or similar corporate transaction.

No Dividends on Unvested Awards, Stock Options or SARs				The Plan prohibits the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on Options and SARs. Where permitted for other awards, dividends or dividend equivalent rights, if any, will be subject to the same vesting requirements and risk of forfeiture as the underlying award and will only be paid at the time those vesting requirements are satisfied.

Seven-year expiration				No Option or SAR is permitted to be exercisable after the seven-year anniversary of the date of grant.

Independent Administration				The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which is composed entirely of directors which are "independent" within the meaning of the NYSE independence requirements and "non-employee directors" as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

Under the NYSE rules, approval of the Plan requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast on the proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
"FOR" APPROVAL OF THE WORLD FUEL SERVICES CORPORATION 2020 OMNIBUS PLAN

The Plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board, which is comprised exclusively of non-management independent directors, who serve at the discretion of the Board. In the absence of the Committee, the Plan is administered by the Board. The Committee would also be permitted to delegate its responsibilities and powers to any director, officer or employee it chooses, and such delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time, provided that such persons may not take any action with respect to (i) awards held by "officers" of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) or independent directors, (ii) take any action inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code, or (iii) take any action inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act.

Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee is authorized to (i) select eligible recipients, (ii) determine the terms and conditions of the awards, (iii) construe and interpret the Plan and awards, (iv) grant replacement awards in specified circumstances, (v) establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration and (vi) cancel awards. The Committee would not, however, have discretionary authority to accelerate vesting of an award in the event of a participant's termination of employment other than in connection with the participant's death or disability. Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee, and any decision made by the Committee under the Plan, is binding and conclusive on all persons. In no event would the Committee have the power to reprice options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the original exercise price, unless such action is approved by the Company's shareholders. Any awards granted to an independent director of the Board is administered by the Board, and the Board would have all the powers of the Committee in such circumstances.

Any current or prospective employee, officer or member of the Board of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any individual consultant or other person who performs services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is eligible for selection by the Committee to receive awards and participate in the Plan. The Company currently expects that awards would be generally granted to approximately 275 employees and non-employee directors (of whom there are currently eight non-employee directors.)

Subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization, the maximum total number of shares of Stock that may be delivered to participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan is equal to the sum of (a) 1,550,000 shares of Stock plus (b) any shares of Stock remaining available for future awards under the 2016 Plan on the date the 2020 Plan is approved by the Company's shareholders; plus (c) any shares of Stock with respect to awards that were granted under the 2020 Plan or Prior Plans that are forfeited or canceled (e.g., due to the recipient's failure to satisfy applicable service or performance conditions) after the 2020 Plan is approved by the Company's shareholders. However, shares of Stock with respect to awards under the 2020 Plan or the Prior Plans that are withheld or tendered or not issued to the Participant to satisfy tax withholding obligations or to pay the exercise price of any such award would not become available for issuance pursuant to the 2020 Plan. In addition, any shares of Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of an award under the 2020 Plan or Prior Plan paid to the Company by or on behalf of the Participant would also not become available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

Upon exercise of a SAR, each share of Stock with respect to which such SAR is exercised is counted as one share of Stock against the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be

delivered pursuant to awards granted under the Plan, regardless of the number of shares of Stock actually delivered upon settlement of such SAR. If and to the extent that shares of Stock are not delivered because an award is settled in cash, those shares would not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan. Shares of Stock issued pursuant to awards granted in substitution for awards previously granted by a company acquired by the Company or subsidiary, or with which the Company or any subsidiary combines, would not reduce the limit on shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan.

Under the Plan, the Committee is authorized to grant stock options, SARs, SSARs, stock unit awards, performance compensation awards, RSAs, RSU awards, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards.

The Committee is authorized to grant incentive stock options ("ISOs"), which can result in potentially favorable tax treatment to the participant, non-qualified stock options and SARs, which entitle the participant to receive the amount by which the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price of the SAR. The exercise price per share subject to an option and the exercise price of a SAR is determined by the Committee, but may not be less than the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of grant. For purposes of the Plan, the fair market value of a share of Stock as of any given date is the closing sales price per share of Stock as reported on the principal securities exchange or market on which Stock is then listed or admitted to trading on the date that the award is granted or, if the grant date is not a trading day, the fair market value is the closing sales price per share of Stock on the most recent trading prior to the date the award was granted. The maximum term of each option or SAR, the times at which and the manner in which each option or SAR will be exercisable, and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised options or SARs at or following termination of employment generally is fixed by the Committee, provided, however, that in no event may an option or SAR remain exercisable after the seven-year anniversary of the date of grant.

Stock-based awards (other than Options and SARs) would consist of: (1) stock unit awards, which are vested awards that entitle the participant to receive shares of Stock in the future; (2) RSAs, which are shares of Stock that are subject to forfeiture or other restrictions that would lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service, performance or other objectives; (3) RSU awards, which entitle the participant to receive shares of Stock in the future subject to the achievement of one or more goals, relating to completion of certain service, performance or other objectives; and (5) other stock-based awards, which are awards (other than Options, SARs, stock unit awards, RSAs or RSU awards), that is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Stock. Cash incentive awards would entitle the participant to receive a designated dollar value amount of cash and is subject to the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service, performance or other objectives

The Committee is authorized to designate any award granted under the 2020 Plan as a performance compensation award that is contingent on the achievement of performance measures during a performance period as determined by the Committee upon the grant of the performance

compensation award. Performance compensation awards may be settled by delivery of cash, shares or other property, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee.

The Committee may establish the performance measures for awards under the Plan which may be based on the achievement of one or more of the following business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, or for any Subsidiary, or for business or geographical units of the Company or any Subsidiary (except with respect to the shareholder return measures and earnings per share criteria),: (1) earnings per share or diluted earnings per share; (2) revenues or margins; (3) cash flow; (4) gross or net profitability/profit margins (including profitability of a product or service); (5) return measures (including return on net assets, investment, capital, equity, or sales); (6) economic value; enterprise value; (7) direct contribution; (8) net income; (9) pretax earnings; (10) earnings before interest and taxes; (11) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (12) earnings after interest expense and before non-recurring or special items; (13) operating income; (14) income before interest income or expense, unusual items and income taxes, local, state, federal or foreign and excluding budgeted and actual bonuses which might be paid under any ongoing bonus plans of the Company; (15) working capital; (16) costs or expenses (including specified types or categories thereof); (17) identification and/or consummation of investment opportunities or completion of specified projects, including strategic mergers, acquisitions or divestitures; (18) shareholder return measures; share price; (19) debt reduction or borrowing levels; (20) improvements in capital structure; (21) sales or product volume; days sales outstanding; (22) market share (in the aggregate or by segment); (23) ratios (including operating, leverage, combined); (24) book, economic book or intrinsic book value (including book value per share); (25) entry into new markets, either geographically or by business unit; (26) customer retention and satisfaction; (27) safety and accident rates; (28) strategic plan development and implementation, including turnaround plans; (29) funds from operations, (30) any other financial or operational metric selected by the Committee; or (31) any other criteria as the Committee determines in its discretion.

Any of the above goals may be determined on an absolute or relative basis (e.g. growth in earnings per share) or as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index or a group of companies that are selected by the Committee. The Committee may adjust the impact of one or more events or occurrences as the Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, (i) acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, discontinued operations, and other unusual or non-recurring charges, (ii) an event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or any of its affiliates, Subsidiaries, divisions, segments or operating units or not within the reasonable control of the Company's management, or (iii) a change in accounting standards required by generally accepted accounting principles.

In the event of a Change of Control, unless otherwise provided in the applicable award or an individual employment agreement, all awards that are outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to a Change of Control would remain outstanding and unvested, provided that for any outstanding performance compensation awards, (i) the performance periods that would be in effect on the date the Change of Control occurs would instead end on the date immediately prior to such Change of Control, (ii) the Committee would determine the actual level of achievement of the performance goals with respect to each such performance period as of the most recent practicable date prior to such Change of Control based upon the Company's audited or unaudited financial information or other information then available as the Committee deems relevant and (iii) to the extent earned, such performance awards will continue to be subject to any service-based vesting conditions that remain in place. If, however, (A) within two years following a Change of Control, the participant's employment with the Company and its affiliates is terminated without Cause or (B) in connection with the Change of Control, no provision is made for assumption, continuation or substitution of awards in a manner that preserves the material terms and conditions of the awards, then any awards that are unexercisable, unvested or subject to restrictions would automatically become exercisable and vested and all restrictions would lapse as of the date of such termination or immediately prior to the Change of Control, as applicable.

The term "Change of Control" is defined in the Plan to mean any one of the following events:

Unless defined otherwise in the award or individual employment agreement, the term "Cause" is defined in the Plan to mean:

The good faith determination by the Committee of whether the participant's employment or service was terminated for Cause is final and binding for all purposes.

Subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued as a result of the exercise of ISOs is 2,500,000. Furthermore, with respect to awards that are performance compensation awards, the maximum number of shares of Stock that is available to be granted to any one individual in any fiscal year in respect of stock-settled awards, is no more than 600,000, multiplied by the number of fiscal years (and fractions thereof) over which the performance

criteria are measured. In the case of such awards that are cash-settled based upon the fair market value of a share of Stock, the maximum amount of cash that may be paid to any one individual in any fiscal year is equal to 600,000 shares of Stock multiplied by the fair market value as of the relevant vesting, payment or settlement date, multiplied by the number of fiscal years (and fractions thereof) over which the performance criteria are measured. In the case of all other performance compensation awards, the maximum amount of cash and other property (valued at its fair market value) other than shares of Stock that may be paid or delivered pursuant to such awards granted to any one individual in any fiscal year is equal to $10,000,000 multiplied by the number of complete fiscal years (and fractions thereof) over which the performance criteria are measured.

Subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization, with respect to awards granted to independent directors, in the case of such stock-settled awards, the maximum number of shares of Stock that is available to be granted to any one independent director in any fiscal year is 60,000. In the case of such awards that are cash-settled based on the fair market value of a share of Stock, the maximum amount of cash that may be paid to any one independent director in any fiscal year is equal to 60,000 shares of Stock multiplied by the per share fair market value as of the relevant vesting, payment or settlement date. In the case of all other awards granted to independent directors, the maximum amount of cash and other property (valued at its fair market value) other than shares of Stock that may be paid or delivered pursuant to such awards to any one independent director in any fiscal year is $500,000.

All equity-based awards granted under the 2020 Plan would be subject to a minimum vesting period of one (1) year from the date of grant (excluding, for this purpose, any substitute awards and shares of Stock issued pursuant to a participant's election to receive shares of Stock in lieu of cash compensation), provided that (i) up to five percent (5%) of the shares of Stock available under the Plan may be granted free of any vesting requirements, (ii) the restriction does not apply to the Committee's discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any award upon the death or disability of a participant and (iii) the minimum vesting period would be deemed satisfied with respect to any award granted to an independent director if such award vests on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual shareholder meeting.

In the event of any equity restructuring of the Company, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, reverse stock split, split-up, rights offering, recapitalization or non-recurring cash dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of shares of Stock, other securities or other property), the Committee would adjust each award to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of the holders with respect to outstanding awards. In addition, in the event of any merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or any similar corporate transaction (including any Change of Control), the Committee is permitted to make other adjustments in order to preserve the benefits and potential benefits of outstanding awards. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, adjustments to the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan, the annual per participant limits, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding award, and the exercise price of any outstanding Options or SARs, as well as any other appropriate adjustments it deems necessary.

The Board is permitted, at any time, to amend or terminate the Plan, and the Board or the Committee is permitted, at any time, to amend any award outstanding thereunder, provided that no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent by the affected participant (or the

participant's beneficiary if the participant is no longer living), materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant or beneficiary granted under the Plan prior to the date that the amendment is adopted by the Board, unless such amendment is made to comply with applicable law, or with tax, security exchange or accounting rules. The Board is permitted to so amend the Plan without further shareholder approval, except to the extent shareholder approval is required by law or regulation or under the rules of any securities exchange or quotation system on which shares of Stock are then listed or quoted. Thus, shareholder approval would not necessarily be required for every amendment to the Plan which might increase the cost of the Plan or alter the eligibility of persons to receive awards.

The Plan would remain in effect as long as any award under it is outstanding. However, no awards is permitted to be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan was approved by our shareholders.

The Plan would not be qualified under the provisions of section 401(a) of the Code and would not be subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

A non-qualified stock option results in no taxable income to the participant or deduction to the Company at the time it is granted. A participant exercising a non-qualified stock option will, at that time, realize taxable income (subject to withholding and employment taxes) in the amount equal to the excess, if any, of the then fair market value of the shares over the option exercise price. Subject to the applicable provisions of the IRC, the Company will be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes in the year of exercise in an amount equal to the taxable income realized by the participant. The participant's tax basis in shares received upon exercise is equal to the sum of the option exercise price plus the taxable income recognized by him or her upon exercise.

Any gain (or loss) upon subsequent disposition of the shares will be a long- or short-term capital gain (or loss) to the participant, depending upon the holding period of the shares. If a non-qualified option is exercised by tendering previously owned shares in payment of the option price, then, instead of the treatment described above, the following will apply: a number of new shares equal to the number of previously owned shares tendered will be considered to have been received in a tax-free exchange; the participant's basis and holding period for such number of new shares will be equal to the basis and holding period of the previously owned shares exchanged. The participant will have taxable income equal to the fair market value on the date of exercise of the number of new shares received in excess of such number of exchanged shares; the participant's basis in such excess shares will be equal to the amount of such taxable income, and the holding period in such shares will begin on the date of exercise.

An incentive stock option results in no taxable income to the participant or a deduction to the Company at the time it is granted or exercised. However, upon exercise, the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired over the option exercise price is an item of adjustment in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of the participant, if applicable. If the participant holds the stock received as a result of an exercise of an incentive stock option until the later of two years from the date of the grant and one year from the date of exercise, then the gain realized on disposition of the shares is treated as a long-term capital gain. If the shares are disposed of during this period, however (i.e., a "disqualifying disposition"), then the participant will realize taxable income for the year of the

disposition in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares, upon exercise of the option over the option exercise price (or, if less, the excess of the amount realized upon disposition of the shares over the option exercise price). Any additional gain or loss recognized upon the disposition will be recognized as a capital gain or loss by the participant. In the event of a disqualifying disposition, the Company will generally be entitled to a deduction, in the year of such a disposition, in an amount equal to the taxable income realized by the participant. The participant's tax basis in the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is equal to the option exercise price paid, plus any amount includible in his or her income as a result of a disqualifying disposition.

Generally, if a participant receives a stock award under the Plan, the participant would recognize ordinary compensation income at the time the stock is received equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock received over any amount the participant paid in exchange for the stock. If, however, the stock is not vested when it is received under the Plan (for example, if the participant is required to work for a period of time in order to have the right to sell the stock), the participant generally would not recognize income until the stock becomes vested, at which time the participant would recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date it becomes vested over any amount the participant paid in exchange for the stock. The participant may, however, file an election with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the participant's receipt of the stock award, to recognize ordinary compensation income, as of the date the participant received the stock award, equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date the other stock award is granted over any amount the participant paid in exchange for the stock. If the participant is an employee of the Company, the ordinary compensation income the participant recognizes is subject to federal and state income and employment tax withholding.

Generally, the recipient of a stand-alone SAR will not recognize taxable income at the time the stand-alone SAR is granted. The value received by an employee (in cash or stock) from the exercise or settlement of a SAR will be taxed as ordinary income to the employee in the year of exercise or settlement. In general, there will be no federal income tax deduction allowed to the Company upon the grant or termination of SARs. However, upon the exercise or settlement of a SAR, the Company will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income the recipient is required to recognize as a result of the exercise or settlement.

Cash incentive awards entitle the participant to receive a cash award and, upon payment of the cash award, the participant recognizes ordinary income equal to the cash award. Generally, the Company would be entitled to a deduction for Federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of ordinary income taxable to the participant.

Section 162(m) of the Code generally limits a public company's federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to "covered employees" (in general, the CEO, the CFO, and the three other most highly compensated executive officers for any year beginning with fiscal year 2017) in each fiscal year to $1 million. Thus, certain compensation, including compensation attributable to awards granted under the 2020 Plan, paid by the Company to any NEO (and to any person who was a named executive

officer for any year beginning with fiscal year 2017) may be nondeductible to the Company due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code.

If any award constitutes a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" under Section 409A of the Code (a "Section 409A Plan"), then the award is subject to certain additional requirements discussed in the Plan, if and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Any award agreement for any award that the Committee believes may constitute a Section 409A Plan, and the provisions of the Plan applicable to that award, is construed in a manner consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 409A, and the Committee, in its sole discretion and without the participant's consent, may amend any award agreement (and the provisions of the Plan applicable thereto) if and to the extent that the Committee determines that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In the event of a Change of Control, any outstanding awards that constitute deferred compensation is paid in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. If any award agreement or award is deemed not to comply with Section 409A of the Code, then neither the Company, the Committee nor its or their designees or agents is liable to any participant or other person for actions, decisions or determinations made in good faith.

The information set forth above is a summary only and does not purport to be complete. It is for general information only and is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. It is based on the U.S. federal income tax laws currently in effect and does not address state, local or foreign tax consequences. This summary also does not purport to deal with all material aspects of U.S. federal taxation that may be relevant to a participant's personal investment circumstances and does not discuss the tax consequences of those participants who are subject to special treatment under any country's income tax laws. Participants are strongly urged to consult with their tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences (including the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences) that may affect participants in the Plan and of potential changes in applicable tax laws.

A new plan benefits table for the Plan and the benefits or amounts that would have been received by or allocated to certain participants for the last completed fiscal year under the Plan if the Plan was then in effect, as described in the federal proxy rules, is not provided because all awards made under the Plan will be made at the Board's or Committee's discretion, as applicable. Therefore, the benefits and amounts that would be received or allocated under the Plan are not determinable at this time. However, please refer to the Summary Compensation Table, which includes certain information regarding awards granted to our NEOs during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Equity grants to our non-employee directors are described under "Director Compensation".

(2): The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by each person has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.

Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes or table, each person or entity has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown as beneficially owned. The number of shares of common stock that could be obtained on exercise of SSARs is calculated by (a) multiplying the number of outstanding SSARs which can be exercised within 60 days of the Reporting Date, by the difference between the closing price of $23.65 for our common stock on the Reporting Date and the SSAR exercise price and (b) dividing such number by $23.65. The percentages shown are based on 65,504,262 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the Reporting Date.

Lake and Stebbins.

Proposals for Inclusion in the Proxy Statement. The date by which shareholder proposals must be received by us for inclusion in proxy materials relating to the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders, or the "2021 Annual Meeting," is December 10, 2020. Upon receipt of any such proposal, we will determine whether or not to include such proposal in the proxy materials in accordance with SEC regulations governing the solicitation of proxies.

Proposals not Included in the Proxy Statement and Nominations for Director. Shareholder proposals not included in our proxy statement and shareholder nominations for director may be brought before an annual meeting of shareholders in accordance with the advance notice procedures described in our By-Laws. In general, notice must be received by the Corporate Secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting (i.e., May 22, 2021) and must contain specified information concerning the matters to be brought before such meeting and concerning the shareholder proposing such matters. For the 2021 Annual Meeting, the Corporate Secretary must receive notice of the proposal on or after the close of business on January 23, 2021 and no later than the close of business on February 24, 2021. Shareholder proposals must be in proper written form and must meet the detailed disclosure requirements set forth in our By-Laws, including a description of the proposal, the relationship between the proposing shareholder and the underlying beneficial owner, if any, and such parties' stock holdings and derivative positions in our securities. If we hold the 2021 Annual Meeting more than 30 days earlier or more than 60 days later than such anniversary date, we must receive your notice not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

Our By-Laws also require that shareholder proposals concerning nomination of directors provide additional disclosure, including information we deem appropriate to ascertain the nominee's qualifications to serve on the Board, disclosure of compensation arrangements between the nominee, the nominating shareholder and the underlying beneficial owner, if any, and other information required to comply with the proxy rules and applicable law.

The specific requirements of these advance notice provisions are set forth in Article I, Sections 6 and 7 of our By-Laws, a copy of which is available upon request. Such request and any shareholder proposals or director nominations should be sent to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices.

The names of shareholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at our corporate office for a period of 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting and continuing through the Annual Meeting.

We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from our shareholders, including preparing, printing and mailing the Notice and this proxy statement. In addition to solicitations by mail, our directors, officers and employees, and those of our subsidiaries and affiliates, may solicit proxies from shareholders by telephone or other electronic means or in person but will receive no additional compensation for soliciting such proxies. We will cause banks and brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of our common stock held of record by such banks, brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries. We may reimburse such banks, brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in doing so. We may also retain the services of a solicitor to assist in soliciting proxies and pay them a fee as well as other costs and expenses.

Any interested party can contact our Board, any Board committee, our presiding director, our lead independent director, the non-management directors as a group or any individual director by (i) writing to any of them, c/o Corporate Secretary, at our principal office at 9800 Northwest 41st Street, Miami, Florida 33178, (ii) calling the WFS Anonymous Compliance Hotline at 1-888-549-0965 (US toll-free) or at any of the other country-specific toll-free numbers found at www.wfscompliance.com; or (iii) submitting a report or request online using the intake portal found at www.wfscompliance.com. Such communications may be submitted on an anonymous or confidential basis. Any communications received from interested parties in the manner described above will be collected and organized by our Corporate Secretary and will be periodically, but in any event prior to each regularly-scheduled Board meeting, reported and/or delivered to the appropriate director or directors.

We maintain an Internet website at www.wfscorp.com. Copies of the Committee charters of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Governance Committee, Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility Committee and Technology & Operations Committee, together with other corporate governance materials, such as our Corporate Governance Principles and Code of Conduct, can be found under the Investor Relations—Corporate Governance section of our website located at www.wfscorp.com, and such information is also available in print to any shareholder who requests it by writing to our Corporate Secretary at the address below.

We will furnish without charge to each person whose proxy is being solicited, upon request of any such person, a copy of our 2019 annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, including the financial statements and schedules thereto. In addition, such report is available, free of charge, through the Investor Relations—Corporate Governance section of our Internet website, located at www.wfscorp.com. You should direct a request for a copy of this report to World Fuel Services Corporation, 9800 Northwest 41st Street, Miami, Florida 33178, Attention: Corporate Secretary. We will forward you a copy of any exhibit to the 2019 annual report on Form 10-K when you send a written request to Investor Relations.

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, we are furnishing our proxy materials to our shareholders over the Internet and providing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials, which include our proxy statement and annual report. This process has allowed us to expedite our shareholders' receipt of proxy materials, lower the costs of distribution and reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. All shareholders receiving the Notice will have the ability to access the proxy materials over the Internet and receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail at no charge upon request.

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called "householding." Under this procedure, shareholders of record who have the same address and last name will receive only one copy of our Notice, unless one or more of these shareholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees.

If you are eligible for householding, but you and other shareholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple copies of the Notice, or if you hold stock in more than one account, and in either case you wish to receive only a single copy of the Notice for your household, please contact our transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services (in writing: P.O. Box 64854, St. Paul, MN 55164-0854, or by telephone: (800) 468-9716 or (651) 450-4064).

If you participate in householding and wish to receive a separate copy of the Notice, or if you do not wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive separate copies of the Notice in the future, please contact EQ Shareowner Services as indicated above. Beneficial shareholders can request information about householding from their broker, bank, trustee, agent or other record holder.

1.1 Purpose. The World Fuel Services Corporation 2020 Omnibus Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the "Plan") has been established by World Fuel Services Corporation (the "Company"), a Florida corporation, to: (a) attract and retain persons eligible to participate in the Plan; (b) motivate Participants, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals; (c) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other similar companies; and (d) further align Participants' interests with those of the Company's other shareholders through compensation that is based on the Company's common stock; and thereby promote the long-term financial interest of the Company and the Subsidiaries, including the growth in value of the Company's equity and enhancement of long-term shareholder return.

1.2 Participation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company shall determine and designate, from time to time, from among the Eligible Persons, those persons who will be granted one or more Awards under the Plan, and thereby become "Participants" in the Plan.

1.3 Operation, Administration, and Definitions. The operation and administration of the Plan, including the Awards made under the Plan, shall be subject to the provisions of Section IV (relating to operation and administration). Capitalized terms in the Plan shall be defined as set forth in the Plan (including the definition provisions of Section IX of the Plan).

(a) An "Option" is a right that entitles the Participant to purchase shares of Stock at an Exercise Price established by the Committee. Any Option granted under this Section II may be either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option, as determined in the discretion of the Committee. An "Incentive Stock Option" is an Option that is intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an "incentive stock option" described in Section 422(b) of the Code. Only Employees of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be eligible to be awarded Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. A "Non-Qualified Stock Option" is an Option that is not intended to be an "incentive stock option" as that term is described in Section 422(b) of the Code.

(b) A "Stock Appreciation Right" or "SAR" is a right that entitles the Participant to receive, in cash or Stock (as determined in accordance with Section 4.7), value equal to (or otherwise based on) the excess of: (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the time of exercise; over (ii) an Exercise Price established by the Committee.

2.2 Exercise Price. The "Exercise Price" of each share of Stock purchasable under an Option and each SAR shall be determined by the Committee, provided that such Exercise Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant of the Option or SAR and shall not, in any event, be less than the par value of a share of Stock on the date of grant of the Option or SAR. If an Eligible Person owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules

applicable under Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively) and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such person, the Exercise Price of such Incentive Stock Option (to the extent required by the Code at the time of grant) shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date that the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

2.3 Exercise. Each Option and SAR shall become exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions and during such periods as may be established by the Committee, but in no event shall the Option or SAR remain exercisable after the seven-year anniversary of the date of grant.

2.4 Payment of Option Exercise Price. The payment of the Exercise Price of an Option granted under this Section II shall be subject to the following:

(a) Subject to the following provisions of this Section 2.4, the full Exercise Price for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option shall be paid at the time of such exercise (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement described in Section 2.4(c), payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise).

(b) The Exercise Price shall be payable in cash or, in the discretion of the Committee, either by tendering shares of Stock (by actual delivery of shares or by attestation), or by the withholding of shares of Stock that otherwise would have been delivered as a result of the exercise of the Option, in each case valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise, or in any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee.

(c) The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to pay the Exercise Price upon the exercise of an Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

2.5 Settlement of Award. Settlement of Options and SARs is subject to Section 4.7.

(a) A "Cash Incentive Award" is a grant of a right to receive a designated dollar value amount in cash that is not calculated by reference to the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock and is subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service by the Participant, or achievement of performance or other objectives, as determined by the Committee.

(b) An "Other Stock-Based Award" is any Award other than an Option, SAR, Stock Unit Award, Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award, that is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Stock (including without limitation any award of shares of Stock that is not subject to any vesting or other restrictions and any awards of shares of Stock in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under any other plan or compensatory arrangements).

(c) A "Performance Compensation Award" is the grant of any Award designated by the Committee as a Performance Compensation Award pursuant to Section 3.3 that is contingent on the

achievement of Performance Goals or other performance objectives as determined by the Committee, during a Performance Period.

(d) A "Restricted Stock Award" is a grant of shares of Stock with such shares of Stock subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service by the Participant, or achievement of performance or other objectives, as determined by the Committee.

(e) A "Restricted Stock Unit Award" is the grant of a right to receive shares of Stock, cash, other securities or other Awards (as determined in accordance with Section 4.7) in the future, with such right to future delivery of such shares of Stock, cash, other securities or other Awards subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service by the Participant, or achievement of performance or other objectives, as determined by the Committee.

(f) A "Stock Unit Award" is the grant of a right to receive shares of Stock in the future, which right is not subject to future vesting conditions.

3.2 Restrictions on Awards. Each Stock Unit Award, Performance Compensation Award, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award, Other Stock-Based Award and Cash Incentive Award shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(e)(ii) (relating to the limitations on the maximum amount of specified Awards), the Committee may designate any Award as a Performance Compensation Award, the grant or vesting of which is conditioned on the achievement of one or more "Performance Goals." The Committee may establish one or more of the following business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or for any Subsidiary, or for business or geographical units of the Company and/or any Subsidiary (except with respect to the shareholder return measures and earnings per share criteria), as the Performance Goals for such Performance Compensation Awards: (1) earnings per share or diluted earnings per share; (2) revenues or margins; (3) cash flow; (4) gross or net profitability/profit margins (including profitability of a product or service); (5) return measures (including return on net assets, investment, capital, equity, or sales); (6) economic value; enterprise value; (7) direct contribution; (8) net income; (9) pretax earnings; (10) earnings before interest and taxes; (11) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (12) earnings after interest expense and before non-recurring or special items; (13) operating income; (14) income before interest income or expense, unusual items and income taxes, local, state, federal or foreign and excluding budgeted and actual bonuses which might be paid under any ongoing bonus plans of the Company; (15) working capital; (16) costs or expenses (including specified types or categories thereof); (17) identification and/or consummation of investment opportunities or completion of specified projects, including strategic mergers, acquisitions or divestitures; (18) shareholder return measures; share price; (19) debt reduction or borrowing levels; (20) improvements in capital structure; (21) sales or product volume; days sales outstanding; (22) market share (in the aggregate or by segment); (23) ratios (including operating, leverage, combined); (24) book, economic book or intrinsic book value (including book value per share); (25) entry into new markets, either geographically or by business unit; (26) customer retention and satisfaction; (27) safety and accident rates; (28) strategic plan development and implementation, including turnaround plans; (29) funds from operations; (30) any other financial or operational metric selected by the Committee; or (31) any other criteria as the Committee shall determine in its discretion.

(b) Any of the above Performance Goals may be determined on an absolute or relative basis or as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index or a group of companies that are selected by the Committee. The Committee may adjust the impact of one or more events or occurrences as the Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, (i) acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, discontinued operations, and other unusual or non-recurring charges or extraordinary items, (ii) an event either not directly related to the operations of the Company or any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries, divisions, segments or operating units (to the extent applicable to such Performance Goal) or not within the reasonable control of the Company's management, including any macroeconomic or market-driven events or (iii) a change in accounting standards required by generally accepted accounting principles.

(c) No Participant shall receive any payment under the Plan that is subject to this Section 3.3 unless the Committee has certified, by resolution or other appropriate action in writing, that the Performance Goals and any other material terms previously established by the Committee, have been satisfied.

4.1 Effective Date; Term of Plan. The Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect as long as any Awards under it are outstanding; provided, however, that no Awards may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

4.2 Shares Subject to Plan. The shares of Stock for which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following:

(a) The shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares currently authorized but unissued or currently held or subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares, including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.

(b) Subject to the following provisions of this Section 4.2, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered to Participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan shall be equal to the sum of: (i) 1,550,000; plus (ii) any shares of Stock remaining available for future awards under a Prior Plan on the Effective Date; plus (iii) any shares of Stock with respect to Awards and Prior Plan Awards that are forfeited, canceled, expire unexercised, or are settled in cash following the Effective Date. Upon shareholder approval of the Plan, no further awards will be made under any Prior Plans.

(c) To the extent provided by the Committee, any Award may be settled in cash rather than Stock. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, none of the following shares of Stock shall be available again for delivery under the Plan: (i) any shares of Stock with respect to Awards or Prior Plan Awards that are withheld or tendered (by actual delivery or by attestation) to the Company or not issued to the Participant, in either case, to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation or in payment of the exercise price of such Award or Prior Plan Award, or (ii) any shares of Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of an Award or Prior Plan Award paid to the Company by or on behalf of the Participant.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the full number of shares of Stock with respect to an Award or Prior Plan Award originally granted (rather than the net number of shares of Stock actually delivered) shall count against the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan. Upon exercise of a stock-settled SAR, each such stock-settled SAR originally granted shall be counted as one share of Stock against the maximum aggregate number of

shares of Stock that may be delivered pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan as provided in Section 4.2(b), regardless of the number of shares of Stock actually delivered upon settlement of such stock-settled SAR.

(e) Subject to Section 4.2(f), the following additional maximums are imposed under the Plan.

(f) In the event of any equity restructuring, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, reverse stock split, split-up, rights offering, recapitalization or non-recurring cash dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of shares of Stock, other securities or other property), the Committee shall adjust each Award, in such manner as the Committee shall determine, to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of the holders with respect to outstanding awards. In addition, in the event of any merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or other similar corporate transaction (including any Change of Control), the Committee may make other adjustments to outstanding Awards (and to any limitations on the number or kind of Awards that may be granted under the Plan in the future) to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the Awards. Action by the Committee pursuant to this Section 4.2(f) may include, to the extent that the Committee determines to be appropriate: (i) adjustment to the number or kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan, including but not limited to, increases in the limitations set forth in subsection (b) above and paragraphs (i) through (iii) of subsection (e) above; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the Exercise Price of outstanding Options and SARs; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable or appropriate, including but not limited to, (A) a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in consideration for the cancelation of such Award, including, in the case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash payment to the holder of such Option or SAR in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the shares of Stock subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price of such Option or SAR and (B) cancel and terminate any Option or SAR having a per share Exercise Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock subject to such Option or SAR without any payment or consideration therefor.

4.3 General Restrictions. Delivery of shares of Stock or other amounts under the Plan shall be subject to the following:

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no liability to deliver any shares of Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

(b) To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Stock, the issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any securities exchange.

(a) All equity-based Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of one (1) year from the date of grant (excluding, for this purpose, any Substitute Awards and shares of Stock issued to Eligible Persons pursuant to their election to receive shares of Stock in lieu of cash compensation); provided that up to five percent (5%) of the shares of Stock available under the Plan may be granted free of any vesting requirements.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restriction does not apply to the Committee's discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any Award upon the death or disability of a Participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the Award Agreement. In addition, the minimum vesting period shall be deemed satisfied with respect to any Award granted to an Independent Director if such Award vests on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual shareholder meeting.

4.5 Grant and Use of Awards. In the discretion of the Committee, a Participant may be granted any Award permitted under the provisions of the Plan, and more than one Award may be granted to a Participant. Awards may be granted as alternatives to or replacement of awards granted or outstanding under the Plan, or any other plan or arrangement of the Company or a Subsidiary (including a plan or arrangement of a business or entity, all or a portion of which is acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary). Subject to the overall limitation on the number of shares of Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the Committee may use available shares of Stock as the form of payment for compensation, grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company or a Subsidiary, including the plans and arrangements of the Company or a Subsidiary assumed in business combinations.

4.6 Dividends and Dividend Equivalents in Unvested Awards. In no event shall dividends or dividend equivalents be paid with respect any Option or SAR. At the discretion of the Committee, an Award (other than an Option or SAR) may provide the Participant with the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the Stock subject to any such Award for dividends declared during the period that an Award is outstanding, provided, that, any such dividends or dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and risk of forfeiture as the underlying Award. Subject to the foregoing, any such dividends or dividend equivalents may be credited to an account for the Participant and may be settled in cash or Stock, as determined by the Committee. Any such settlements, and any such crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents or reinvestment in shares of Stock, may be subject to such further conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall establish, including the reinvestment of such credited amounts in Stock equivalents or the withholding of such amounts, in each case subject to the same vesting conditions and risk of forfeiture as the underlying Award.

4.7 Settlement of Awards. The obligation to make payments and distributions with respect to Awards may be satisfied through cash payments, the delivery of shares of Stock, the granting of replacement Awards, or combination thereof as the Committee shall determine. Satisfaction of any such obligations under an Award, which is sometimes referred to as "settlement" of the Award, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. The Committee may permit or require the deferral of any Award payment, subject to applicable law, the terms of the Plan and such rules and procedures as the Committee may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or dividend equivalents, and may include converting such credits into deferred Stock equivalents, in each case subject to the same vesting conditions and risk of forfeiture as the underlying Award. Each Subsidiary shall be liable for payment of cash due under the Plan with respect to any Participant to the extent that such benefits are attributable to the

services rendered for that Subsidiary by the Participant. Any disputes relating to liability of a Subsidiary for cash payments shall be resolved by the Committee.

4.8 Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, Awards under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that in no case may any Award be transferred for value.

4.9 Form and Time of Elections. Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification, or revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with the Committee or its designee at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee or its designee shall require.

4.10 Agreement with Company. An Award under the Plan shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, prescribe. The terms and conditions of any Award to any Participant shall be reflected in such form of written document as is determined by the Committee. A copy of such document shall be provided to the Participant, and the Committee may, but need not require that the Participant sign a copy of such document. Such document is referred to in the Plan as an "Award Agreement" regardless of whether any Participant signature is required.

4.11 Clawback. Awards shall be subject to any clawback policy maintained by the Company, as it may exist or be amended from time to time, subject to the discretion of the Committee. Furthermore, if required by Company policy, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 or any Securities and Exchange Commission rule or other applicable laws, each Participant's Award shall be conditioned on repayment or forfeiture in accordance with such applicable laws, Company policy, and any relevant provisions in the related Award Agreement. Nothing in the Plan shall prevent a Participant from exercising any legally protected whistleblower rights, including pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act or the rules thereunder.

4.12 Action by Company or Subsidiary. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary regarding the Plan shall be by resolution of the Committee, or by action of one or more members of the Board (including a committee of the Board) who are duly authorized to act for the Board, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of any securities exchange) by one or more duly authorized officers of the Company.

5.1 Change of Control. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(f) (relating to the adjustment of shares), unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or an individual employment agreement, in the event of a Change of Control, all Awards that are outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to a Change of Control (after giving effect to any action by the Committee pursuant to Section 4.2(f) or Section 5.3) shall remain outstanding and unvested immediately thereafter, provided, however, that if within 12 months following a Change of Control, a Participant's employment or services, as applicable, with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated without Cause, then:

5.2 Substitution or Assumption. Notwithstanding Section 5.1 and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or an individual employment agreement, in the event of a Change of Control, unless provision is made in connection with the Change of Control for assumption or continuation of Awards previously granted or substitution of such Awards for new awards covering shares of a successor corporation or its "parent corporation" (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or "subsidiary corporation" (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and, if applicable, Exercise Prices, that the Committee determines will preserve the material terms and conditions of such Awards as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control (including, without limitation, with respect to the vesting schedules, the intrinsic value of the awards (if any) as of the Change of Control, and transferability of the shares underlying such Awards) then, subject to Section 5.3:

(a) all outstanding Options or SARs then held by Participants that are unexercisable or otherwise unvested shall automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested, as the case may be, as of immediately prior to such Change of Control; and

(b) all other outstanding Awards (i.e., other than Options and SARs) then held by Participants that are unvested or still subject to restrictions or forfeiture shall automatically be deemed vested and all restrictions and forfeiture provisions related thereto shall lapse as of immediately prior to such Change of Control.

To the extent practicable, any actions taken by the Committee under this Section 5.2 shall occur in a manner and at a time which allows affected Participants the ability to participate in the Change of Control transaction with respect to the shares of Stock subject to their Awards or Prior Plan Awards, if any.

5.3 Effect on Performance Compensation Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or an individual employment agreement, with respect to outstanding Performance Compensation Awards in the event of a Change of Control:

(a) any Performance Periods that would be in effect on the date the Change of Control occurs shall instead end on the date immediately prior to such Change of Control;

(b) the Committee shall determine the actual level of achievement of the Performance Goals with respect to each such Performance Period as of the most recent practicable date prior to such Change of Control based upon the Company's audited or unaudited financial information or other information then available as the Committee deems relevant; and

(c) to the extent earned, such Performance Compensation Awards shall continue to be subject to any service-based vesting conditions that remain in place.

5.4 Section 409A and Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or an individual employment agreement, if any amount payable pursuant to an Award constitutes deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, in the event of a Change of Control, to the extent provided in Section 5.2, any unvested but outstanding Awards shall automatically vest as of the date of such Change of Control and shall not be subject to the forfeiture restrictions following such Change of Control; provided that in the event that such Change of Control does not qualify as an event described

in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code or to the extent that payment upon such Change of Control would otherwise violate Section 409A of the Code, such Awards (and any other Awards that constitute deferred compensation that vested prior to the date of such Change of Control but are outstanding as of such date) shall not be settled until the earliest permissible payment event under Section 409A of the Code following such Change of Control.

6.1 Administration. The authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Committee in accordance with this Section VI. The Committee shall be selected by the Board, and shall be comprised solely of two or more members of the Board, each of whom, to the extent required under applicable laws and rules, shall be (i) "independent", within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or, if the shares of Stock are not listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, under the rules of the applicable securities exchange on which the shares are listed or quoted and (ii) a "Non-Employee Director", within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 as promulgated and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act (each an "Independent Director"). If the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board, the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee; provided, however, that in that event, any such action taken by the Board shall require the approval of at least a majority of the Independent Directors.

6.2 Powers of Committee. The Committee's administration of the Plan shall be subject to the following:

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and applicable law, and in addition to the other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Committee by the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and plenary authority to administer the Plan, including the authority (i) to select from among the Eligible Persons those persons who shall receive Awards, (ii) to determine the time or times of receipt, (iii) to determine the types of Awards and the number of shares or dollar value covered by the Awards, (iv) to establish the terms, conditions, performance and vesting criteria, restrictions, terms of exercise and settlement and other provisions of the Awards, (v) to interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any default in and/or supply any omission in, the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or Award made under, the Plan, (vi) grant a replacement Award for an Award previously granted under the Plan if, in its sole discretion, the Committee determines that (A) the tax consequences of such Award to the Company or the Participant differ from those consequences that were expected to occur on the date the Award was granted or (B) clarifications or interpretations of, or changes to, tax law or regulations permit Awards to be granted that have more favorable tax consequences than initially anticipated and (vii) subject to the restrictions imposed by Section VII, to cancel or suspend Awards; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.2, the Committee shall not have the authority to accelerate vesting of an Award in the event of a Participant's termination of employment other than in connection with the Participant's death or disability.

(b) The Committee shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of any countries in which the Company or any Subsidiary may operate to ensure the viability of the benefits from Awards granted to Participants employed or providing services in such countries, to meet the requirements of local laws that permit the Plan to operate in a qualified or tax-efficient manner, to comply with applicable foreign laws and to meet the objectives of the Plan; provided, however, that no such action taken pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) shall result in a "material revision" of the Plan under applicable securities exchange governance rules.

(c) The Committee will have full and complete authority and discretion to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of any Award Agreement made pursuant to the Plan, and to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan; it being the intention of the Plan that the Committee have the utmost authority and discretion permitted by law in making decisions and performing its other functions under the Plan.

(d) Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it under the Plan is final and binding on all persons.

(e) In controlling and managing the operation and administration of the Plan, the Committee shall take action in a manner that conforms to the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, and applicable state corporate law.

6.3 No Repricing or Exchange. Notwithstanding the authority set forth in Section 6.2, in no event shall the Committee have the power to cancel outstanding Options or SARs for the purpose of repricing, substituting for another Award, or otherwise replacing or re-granting such Options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option or SAR, unless such action is approved by the Company's shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment to the Exercise Price made in accordance with Section 4.2(f) or as a result of a substitution pursuant to Section V shall not be considered a re-pricing for purposes of this Section 6.3.

(a) Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a securities exchange, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it, including a subcommittee consisting of one or more members of the Board or officers or employees of the Company to grant Awards to persons who are not "officers" of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) or Independent Directors, subject to such restrictions and limitations as the Committee may specify and to the requirements of the Florida Business Corporation Act. The acts of any such delegates shall be treated hereunder as acts of the Committee and such delegates shall report regularly to the Committee regarding the delegated duties and responsibilities and any Awards so granted.

(b) The Committee may also delegate the administration of the Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Company, and such administrator(s) may have the authority to administer the Plan, including to: (i) execute and distribute Award Agreements, (ii) maintain records relating to Awards, (iii) process or oversee the issuance of Stock under Awards, (iv) interpret and administer the terms of Awards, and (v) take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan and of Awards under the Plan. In no event shall any such administrator be authorized to (w) grant Awards under the Plan (except in connection with any delegation made by the Committee pursuant to Section 6.4(a), (x) take any action with respect to Awards held by "officers" of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) or Independent Directors, (y) take any action inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code, or (z) take any action inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act. Any action by any such administrator within the scope of its delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been taken by the Committee and, except as otherwise specifically provided, references in this Plan to the Committee shall include any such administrator.

(c) Any of the allocations or delegations described in this Section 6.4 may be revoked by the Committee at any time. In the event of any delegations described in this Section 6.4, the term "Committee", as used herein, shall include any persons so delegated to the extent of such delegation.

6.5 Awards to Independent Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards to Independent Directors or administer the Plan with respect to such Awards. In any such case, the Board shall have all the authority and responsibility granted to the Committee herein.

6.6 Information to be Furnished to Committee. The Company and Subsidiaries shall furnish the Committee with such data and information as it determines may be required for it to discharge its duties. The records of the Company and Subsidiaries as to an employee's or Participant's employment, termination of employment, leave of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive on all persons unless determined to be incorrect. Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the Committee such evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the terms of the Plan.

6.7 Limitation of Liability. The Committee, each member thereof, and any other person acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Committee shall be entitled, in good faith, to rely or act upon any report or other information furnished by any officer or employee of the Company, the Company's independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee or any other person acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Committee, and any officer or employee of the Company acting at the direction or on behalf of the Committee or other delegee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such action or determination.

6.8 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

(a) If any Award constitutes a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" under Section 409A of the Code (a "Section 409A Plan"), then the Award shall be subject to the following additional requirements, if and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code:

(b) Any Award Agreement for any Award that the Committee reasonably determines to constitute a Section 409A Plan, and the provisions of the Plan applicable to that Award, shall be construed in a manner consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 409A, and the Committee, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Participant, may amend any Award Agreement (and the provisions of the Plan applicable thereto) if and to the extent that the Committee determines that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Further, in the event that the Plan, any Award Agreement or any Award shall be deemed not to comply with Section 409A of the Code, then neither the Company, the Committee nor its or their designees or agents shall be liable to any Participant or other person for actions, decisions or determinations made in good faith.

The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, and the Board or Committee may, at any time, amend any Award outstanding thereunder, provided that no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely affect the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board; and further provided that any amendment made to comply with applicable law, tax rules, securities exchange rules or accounting rules and adjustments pursuant to Section 4.2(f) shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations of this Section VII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, approval of the Company's shareholders shall be required for any amendment or alteration of the Plan if such shareholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation (including without limitation, Rule 16b-3

under the Exchange Act or the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Stock may then be listed or quoted). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any amendments to the Plan will apply prospectively only.

8.1 Tax Withholding. All distributions under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, and the Committee may condition the delivery of any shares or other benefits under the Plan on satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations. The Committee, in its discretion, and subject to such requirements as the Committee may impose prior to the occurrence of such withholding, may permit such withholding obligations to be satisfied through cash payment by the Participant, through the surrender of shares of Stock which the Participant already owns, through the withholding of shares of Stock that otherwise would have been delivered pursuant to the Award, or through the surrender of shares of Stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan.

(a) Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of participation in the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the Stock or amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

(b) The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give such Participant the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights.

8.3 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award.
