Exhibit 10.1

STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 26, 2012 by and between FleetCor Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the entities identified on Schedule 1 hereto (each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”).

Background

A. The Sellers own in aggregate 22,371,502 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and have agreed to transfer, assign, sell, convey and deliver a portion of those shares to the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

B. The Company has agreed to repurchase a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by the Sellers at the price and upon the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement (the “Repurchase”);

C. Promptly after the date hereof, the Sellers and the Company intend to commence an underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares of Common Stock held by the Sellers and certain other Company stockholders (the “Underwritten Shares”);

D. The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) formed a special committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”) comprised solely of independent directors to determine whether or not to authorize and to negotiate the terms of the Repurchase; and

E. The Special Committee has approved the Repurchase and related transactions that may be required in connection with the Repurchase.

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

Agreement

1. Repurchase.

(a) At the Closing (as defined below), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions and to the terms set forth in paragraph 1(b), each Seller, severally and not jointly, agrees to transfer, assign, sell, convey and deliver that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares sold by such Seller (plus any shares of Common Stock contributed by such Seller to charitable organizations prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below)) in the Public Offering (as adjusted to reflect any reduction in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with the third sentence of this Section 1(a), which reduction, if any, shall be made amongst all Sellers on a Pro Rata Basis) to the Company, subject to rounding adjustments (the “Repurchase Shares”). The per share purchase price for each Repurchase Share shall be equal to the per share price at which the Sellers sell the Underwritten Shares to the underwriters in the Public Offering (the “Per Share Purchase Price”).


Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the product of the Per Share Purchase Price and the aggregate number of Repurchase Shares is greater than $200 million, the number of Repurchase Shares shall be reduced to be equal to (i) $200 million divided by (ii) the Per Share Purchase Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The Company hereby agrees to purchase such Repurchase Shares from each such Seller at the Per Share Purchase Price. “Pro Rata Basis” shall mean the relative number of shares being sold by the Seller (plus any shares of Common Stock contributed by such Seller to charitable organizations prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below)) in the Public Offering compared to the total shares to be sold by the Sellers in the Public Offering.

(b) The obligations of the Company to purchase the Repurchase Shares shall be subject to the closing of the Public Offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement by and among the Company, the Sellers, certain other Company stockholders and the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”) no later than 10 business days from the date hereof.

(c) The closing of the sale of the Repurchase Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place on the same day as the closing of the Public Offering at the offices of the Company in Norcross, Georgia, or at such other time and place as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Sellers. At the Closing, each Seller shall deliver to the Company, or as instructed by the Company, duly executed stock powers relating to the Repurchase Shares, as applicable, and the Company agrees to deliver to the Sellers an amount equal to the product of the Per Share Purchase Price and the aggregate number of Repurchase Shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
