Letter from Our

Chief Legal Officer

Dear Stockholders:

We invite you to attend the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Wealthfront Corporation, a Delaware corporation, which will be held virtually on Tuesday, June 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. You can attend the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/WLTH2026, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote your shares online during the meeting, just as you would at an in-person meeting. We believe that a virtual stockholder meeting makes it easier for stockholders to attend and participate fully and equally in the Annual Meeting. We will hold the Annual Meeting for the following purposes, which are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”):

1. To elect David Fortunato and Andrew S. Rachleff, the nominees for Class I directors, to serve until our 2029 annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, or removal; and

2. To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.

We will also consider any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. At this time, we are not aware of any other matters to be submitted for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

Our board of directors has fixed the close of business on April 27, 2026 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record on April 27, 2026 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available upon request for examination by any stockholder, during ordinary business hours at our headquarters, for any purpose relating to the Annual Meeting, for a period of ten (10) days ending the day before the Annual Meeting date. Further information regarding voting rights, the matters to be voted upon and instructions to attend the Annual Meeting is presented in the Proxy Statement.

The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access the Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 (the “Annual Report”) is first being mailed on or about May 11, 2026 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. You will be asked to enter the 16-digit control number located on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, your proxy card or the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials to attend the Annual Meeting.

Every stockholder vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please cast your vote as soon as possible via internet, telephone or mail to ensure your shares will be represented. Your vote by written proxy will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting regardless of whether you attend the Annual Meeting. Returning the proxy does not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. For additional instructions on attending the Annual Meeting or voting your shares, please refer to the section titled“Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and Our Annual Meeting” in the Proxy Statement.

Thank you for your ongoing support and continued interest in Wealthfront.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

Lauren Lin

Chief Legal Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary
