United States Federal

Income Tax Considerations:

In the opinion of Faegre Baker Daniels LLP, the notes should be considered variable rate debt securities that provide for stated interest at a fixed rate in addition to a qualified floating rate. See “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders—Debt Securities—Variable Rate Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. Notwithstanding that the notes will be issued at par, under rules governing debt securities with a fixed rate in addition to a qualified floating rate, it is possible that the notes could be issued with OID. Whether the notes are issued with OID will be determined at the time of issue. Information regarding the determination of the amount of OID, if any, on the notes may be obtained by submitting a written request to Wells Fargo & Company, Treasury Funding
