SUMMARY INFORMATION

This summary includes questions and answers that highlight selected information from this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus to help you understand the 0.25% Optionally Exchangeable Notes due June , 2022 (the “notes”). You should carefully read this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus to fully understand the terms of the notes as well as the tax and other considerations that are important to you in making a decision about whether to invest in the notes. You should carefully review the section “Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement, which highlights certain risks associated with an investment in the notes, to determine whether an investment in the notes is appropriate for you.

What are the notes?

The notes offered by this pricing supplement will be issued by Wells Fargo & Company and will mature on June , 2022. The notes are exchangeable for shares of the Class P common stock of Kinder Morgan, Inc. on the terms described in this pricing supplement.

As discussed in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the notes are debt securities and are part of a series of debt securities entitled “Medium-Term Notes, Series K” that we may issue from time to time. The notes will rank equally with all our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. For more details, see “Specific Terms of the Notes.”

Each note has a principal amount of $1,000. You may transfer only whole notes. We will issue the notes in the form of a global certificate, which will be held by The Depository Trust Company, also known as DTC, or its nominee. Direct and indirect participants in DTC will record your ownership of the notes.

What is the underlying stock?

The underlying stock is the Class P common stock of Kinder Morgan, Inc. (the “underlying stock issuer”).

The table below indicates the ticker symbol for the underlying stock, the primary national securities exchange on which the underlying stock is listed, the exchange ratio, the initial stock price of the underlying stock and strike parity.

Who is the underlying stock issuer?

According to publicly available information, Kinder Morgan, Inc. is an energy infrastructure company that owns an interest in or operates pipelines that transport natural gas, refined petroleum products, crude oil, condensate, CO2 and other products and terminals that transload and store petroleum products, ethanol and chemicals and handle such products as coal, petroleum coke and steel. Kinder Morgan, Inc. has disclosed that it also produces and transports CO2, which is utilized for enhanced oil recovery projects in North America. You should independently investigate the underlying stock issuer and decide whether an investment in the notes linked to the underlying stock is appropriate for you.

Because the underlying stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the underlying stock issuer is required to file periodically certain financial and other information specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Information provided to or filed with the SEC by the underlying stock issuer can be located by reference to its SEC file number and inspected at the SEC’s public reference facilities or accessed over the Internet through the SEC’s website. The SEC file number for the underlying stock issuer is 001-35081. The address of the SEC’s website is http://www.sec.gov. In addition, information

PS-1

regarding the underlying stock may be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other publicly disseminated information. We have not independently verified any such information. For further information, please see “The Underlying Stock” in this pricing supplement.

Will I receive interest on the notes?

The notes will bear interest on their principal amount at the rate of 0.25% per annum, payable semi-annually on the day of each June and December, commencing December , 2015 and ending on the stated maturity date (each, an “interest payment date”). Accrued but unpaid interest will not be paid upon any exchange or redemption of the notes. See “Description of Notes—Interest and Principal Payments” and “Description of Notes—Fixed Rate Notes” in the prospectus supplement for a discussion of the manner in which interest on the notes will be calculated, accrued and paid. If any scheduled interest payment date is not a business day, we will pay interest on the next business day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled interest payment date.

What will I receive upon stated maturity of the notes?

On the stated maturity date, if you have not previously exchanged your notes and we have not redeemed the notes, we will pay you for each note you hold an amount in cash equal to the greater of the principal amount of $1,000 and parity, as determined on the fifth trading day prior to the stated maturity date (the “final exchange date”), plus accrued and unpaid interest. On any trading day, “parity” equals the exchange ratio multiplied by the closing price of the underlying stock, each determined as of such trading day by the calculation agent.

How does the exchange right work?

Beginning July , 2015 to and including the earlier of (i) the redemption notice date, if applicable, and (ii) the final exchange date, you may exchange each note for a number of shares of the underlying stock equal to the exchange ratio as it may have been adjusted through the exchange settlement date (or, at our option, the cash value of a number of shares of the underlying stock equal to the exchange ratio as it may have been adjusted through the exchange notice date, based on the closing price of the underlying stock on the exchange notice date), subject to our right to redeem all of the notes on any day from and including June , 2018. See “Specific Terms of the Notes — Exchange Right” for a more detailed description of the exchange right.

The exchange ratio will be set on the date the notes are priced for initial sale to the public (the “pricing date”) and is a number of shares calculated by dividing strike parity by the initial stock price. The “initial stock price” is $ , which is based upon an intra-day price of the underlying stock on the pricing date. “Strike parity” is $ , which is equal to the exchange ratio on the pricing date multiplied by the initial stock price and is less than the original offering price of the notes. The exchange ratio for the underlying stock will remain constant for the term of the notes, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events relating to the underlying stock issuer, including changes in dividend payments. See “Specific Terms of the Notes — Adjustment Events.”

How do you exchange your notes?

When you exchange your notes, our affiliate Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, acting as the calculation agent (the “calculation agent”), will determine the exact number of shares of the underlying stock you will receive based on the principal amount of the notes you exchange and the exchange ratio as it may have been adjusted through the exchange settlement date. Since the notes will be held only in book-entry form, you may exercise your exchange right only by acting through your participant at DTC, whose nominee is the registered holder of the notes.

To exchange a note on any day, you must instruct your broker or other person with whom you hold your notes to take the appropriate steps through normal clearing system channels. Your book-entry interest in the notes must be transferred to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the paying agent for the notes, on the day we deliver your shares or pay cash to you, as described below. In addition, you must give us notice of exchange as follows:

—

fill out an Official Notice of Exchange, which is attached as Annex A to this pricing supplement; and

PS-2

—

deliver your Official Notice of Exchange to us before 11:00 A.M., New York City time on the day you notify us of your exercise of the exchange right (the “exchange notice date”).

Different firms may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, as a beneficial owner of notes, you should consult the participant through which you own your interest for the relevant deadline. If you give us your Official Notice of Exchange after 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on any trading day or at any time on a day that is not a trading day, your notice will not become effective until the next trading day, and such next trading day will be the exchange notice date; provided, however, that if you give us your Official Notice of Exchange after 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on any trading day and we exercise our right to redeem the notes on that trading day, your exchange notice will be void.

You must exchange your notes in $1,000 minimum principal amount increments at a time.

You will no longer be able to exchange your notes if we redeem the notes.

At our option, on the third business day after you fulfill all the conditions of your exchange (the “exchange settlement date”), we will either:

—

deliver to you shares of the underlying stock at the exchange ratio as it may have been adjusted through the exchange settlement date, or

—

pay to you the cash value of shares of the underlying stock at the exchange ratio as it may have been adjusted through the exchange notice date, based on the closing price of the underlying stock on the exchange notice date.

If you exchange some or all of your notes, you will not receive any accrued but unpaid interest on any notes you exchange.

If upon exchange of the notes we deliver shares of the underlying stock, we will pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of the underlying stock in an amount equal to the value of such fractional shares based on the closing price of the underlying stock as determined by the calculation agent on the trading day immediately preceding the exchange settlement date.

Will the notes be redeemable by us prior to maturity?

We may redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, for settlement on any day from and including June , 2018 to and including the stated maturity date (the “redemption date”), for an amount in cash per note equal to the greater of (i) the principal amount of $1,000 and (ii) parity determined by the calculation agent on the redemption notice date.

If we redeem the notes, we will specify the redemption date in our notice of redemption. The redemption date will be 10 days following the day on which we give our notice of redemption (the “redemption notice date”), unless the 10^th day following the redemption notice date is not a business day, in which case the redemption date will be the immediately following day that is a business day. If we redeem the notes, you will not receive any accrued but unpaid interest on the redemption date.

If we decide to redeem the notes, you will no longer be able to exercise your exchange right and, if (i) your Official Notice of Exchange is received on a trading day after 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such day and (ii) we exercise our right to redeem the notes on such trading day, your exchange notice will be void.

Who should or should not consider an investment in the notes?

We have designed the notes for investors who (i) want to receive the greater of 100% of the principal amount of their investment and the cash value of a specified number of shares of the underlying stock at stated maturity, (ii) want the right to exchange their notes prior to maturity for the shares of the underlying stock at the

PS-3

exchange ratio (or, at our option, the cash value of such shares), subject to our right to redeem the notes, (iii) accept the risk of receiving no positive return on the notes other than below-market interest payments if the underlying stock does not appreciate sufficiently during the term of the notes, (iv) understand that there is no assurance that they will receive the principal amount of their notes unless they hold them to maturity or unless we redeem the notes prior to maturity, (v) understand that we may redeem the notes on any day from and after June , 2018 and (vi) are willing to accept the credit risk of Wells Fargo & Company.

The notes are not designed for, and may not be a suitable investment for, investors who (i) prefer interest payments at a market rate, (ii) are unwilling to purchase notes with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price and that may be as low as the lower estimated value set forth on the cover page, (iii) are unwilling to accept the credit risk of Wells Fargo & Company or (iv) prefer the lower risk of conventional fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

What will I receive if I sell the notes prior to maturity?

The market value of the notes may fluctuate between the date you purchase them and the maturity date. Several factors and their interrelationship will influence the market value of the notes, including the market price of the underlying stock, the time remaining to maturity of the notes, interest and yield rates in the market and the volatility of the market price of the underlying stock. Depending on the impact of these factors, you may receive less than the original offering price of the notes in any sale of your notes. For more details, see “Risk Factors — The Value Of The Notes Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.”

What is the role of the underlying stock issuer in the notes?

The underlying stock issuer has no obligations relating to the notes or amounts to be paid to you, including no obligation to take our needs or your needs into consideration for any reason. The underlying stock issuer will not receive any of the proceeds of the offering of the notes, is not responsible for, and has not participated in, the offering of the notes and is not responsible for, and will not participate in, the determination or calculation of the amounts payable on the notes. We are not affiliated with the underlying stock issuer.

How has the underlying stock performed historically?

You can find historical closing price information about the underlying stock in the section entitled “The Underlying Stock — Historical Data” in this pricing supplement. We have provided this historical information to help you evaluate the behavior of the underlying stock in the recent past; however, past performance of the underlying stock is not indicative of how it will perform in the future.

What about taxes?

For a discussion of the material U.S. federal income and certain estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes see “United States Federal Tax Considerations.”

Will the notes be listed on a stock exchange?

No, the notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system.

Are there any risks associated with my investment?

Yes, an investment in the notes is subject to significant risks. We urge you to read the detailed explanation of risks in “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-7.

PS-4

What is the estimated value of the notes?

The original offering price of each note of $1,000 includes certain costs that are borne by you. Because of these costs, the estimated value of the notes on the pricing date will be less than the original offering price. The costs included in the original offering price relate to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the notes, as well as to our funding considerations for debt of this type.

The costs related to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the notes include the projected profit that our hedge counterparty (which may be one of our affiliates) expects to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes, as well as hedging and other costs relating to the offering of the notes.

Our funding considerations take into account the higher issuance, operational and ongoing management costs of market-linked debt such as the notes as compared to our conventional debt of the same maturity, as well as our liquidity needs and preferences. Our funding considerations are reflected in the fact that we determine the economic terms of the notes based on an assumed funding rate that is generally lower than the interest rates implied by secondary market prices for our debt obligations and/or by other traded instruments referencing our debt obligations, which we refer to as our “secondary market rates.” As discussed below, our secondary market rates are used in determining the estimated value of the notes.

If the costs relating to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the notes were lower, or if the assumed funding rate we use to determine the economic terms of the notes were higher, the economic terms of the notes would be more favorable to you and the estimated value would be higher. The estimated value of the notes as of the pricing date will be set forth in the final pricing supplement.

Determining the estimated value

Our affiliate, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), calculated the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement based on its proprietary pricing models. Based on these pricing models and related market inputs and assumptions referred to in this section below, WFS determined an estimated value for the notes by estimating the value of the combination of hypothetical financial instruments that would replicate the payout on the notes, which combination consists of a non-interest bearing, fixed-income bond (the “debt component”) and one or more derivative instruments underlying the economic terms of the notes (the “derivative component”).

The estimated value of the debt component is based on a reference interest rate, determined by WFS as of a recent date, that generally tracks our secondary market rates. Because WFS does not continuously calculate our reference interest rate, the reference interest rate used in the calculation of the estimated value of the debt component may be higher or lower than our secondary market rates at the time of that calculation. As noted above, we determine the economic terms of the notes based upon an assumed funding rate that is generally lower than our secondary market rates. In contrast, in determining the estimated value of the notes, we value the debt component using a reference interest rate that generally tracks our secondary market rates. Because the reference interest rate is generally higher than the assumed funding rate, using the reference interest rate to value the debt component generally results in a lower estimated value for the debt component, which we believe more closely approximates a market valuation of the debt component than if we had used the assumed funding rate.

WFS calculated the estimated value of the derivative component based on a proprietary derivative-pricing model, which generated a theoretical price for the derivative instruments that constitute the derivative component based on various inputs, including the “derivative component factors” identified in “Risk Factors—The Value Of The Notes Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.” These inputs may be market-observable or may be based on assumptions made by WFS in its discretion.

The estimated value of the notes determined by WFS is subject to important limitations. See “Risk Factors—The Estimated Value Of The Notes Is Determined By Our Affiliate’s Pricing Models, Which May Differ From Those Of Other Dealers” and “—Our Economic Interests Are Potentially Adverse to Your Interests.”

PS-5

Valuation of the notes after issuance

The estimated value of the notes is not an indication of the price, if any, at which WFS or any other person may be willing to buy the notes from you in the secondary market. The price, if any, at which WFS or any of its affiliates may purchase the notes in the secondary market will be based upon WFS’s proprietary pricing models and will fluctuate over the term of the notes due to changes in market conditions and other relevant factors. However, absent changes in these market conditions and other relevant factors, except as otherwise described in the following paragraph, any secondary market price will be lower than the estimated value on the pricing date because the secondary market price will be reduced by a bid-offer spread, which may vary depending on the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the expected cost of unwinding any related hedging transactions. Accordingly, unless market conditions and other relevant factors change significantly in your favor, any secondary market price for the notes is likely to be less than the original offering price.

If WFS or any of its affiliates makes a secondary market in the notes at any time up to the settlement date or during the 6-month period following the settlement date, the secondary market price offered by WFS or any of its affiliates will be increased by an amount reflecting a portion of the costs associated with selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the notes that are included in the original offering price. Because this portion of the costs is not fully deducted upon issuance, any secondary market price offered by WFS or any of its affiliates during this period will be higher than it would be if it were based solely on WFS’s proprietary pricing models less the bid-offer spread and hedging unwind costs described above. The amount of this increase in the secondary market price will decline steadily to zero over this 6-month period. If you hold the notes through an account at WFS or any of its affiliates, we expect that this increase will also be reflected in the value indicated for the notes on your brokerage account statement.

If WFS or any of its affiliates makes a secondary market in the notes, WFS expects to provide those secondary market prices to any unaffiliated broker-dealers through which the notes are held and to commercial pricing vendors. If you hold your notes through an account at a broker-dealer other than WFS or any of its affiliates, that broker-dealer may obtain market prices for the notes from WFS (directly or indirectly), but could also obtain such market prices from other sources, and may be willing to purchase the notes at any given time at a price that differs from the price at which WFS or any of its affiliates is willing to purchase the notes. As a result, if you hold your notes through an account at a broker-dealer other than WFS or any of its affiliates, the value of the notes on your brokerage account statement may be different than if you held your notes at WFS or any of its affiliates.

The notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system. Although WFS and/or its affiliates may buy the notes from investors, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the notes. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the notes is subject to the risks described below. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. Also, your notes are not equivalent to investing directly in the underlying stock to which your notes are linked. You should carefully consider whether the notes are suited to your particular circumstances.

The Notes Do Not Guarantee Any Positive Return In Excess Of Below-Market Interest Payments.

The notes pay interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the principal amount. This interest rate is lower than the interest rate that we would pay on non-exchangeable securities maturing at the same time as these notes. You will not receive any positive return on your investment in the notes in excess of these below-market interest payments unless (i) the value of the underlying stock appreciates from the initial stock price to such a degree that the value of the number of shares of underlying stock equal to the exchange ratio exceeds the original offering price and (ii) you exchange your notes or we redeem them or the final exchange date occurs at a time when the underlying stock has so appreciated. On the pricing date, the value of a number of shares of underlying stock equal to the exchange ratio will be significantly less than the original offering price of the notes. The underlying stock must appreciate by at least % from the initial stock price in order for the value of a number of shares of underlying stock equal to the exchange ratio to exceed the original offering price. If the underlying stock does not appreciate by at least % over the term of the notes or you do not exchange your notes or we do not redeem them at a time when the underlying stock has so appreciated, you will receive no return on your investment in the notes in excess of the below-market interest payments.

Even if the underlying stock appreciates sufficiently to enable you to earn a positive return on the notes in excess of the below-market interest payments on exchange or redemption or at maturity, your effective yield may nevertheless be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a standard senior debt security of Wells Fargo with the same issue price and the same maturity date. Your investment may not reflect the full opportunity cost to you when you take into account factors that affect the time value of money.

There Is No Assurance That You Will Receive The Principal Amount Unless You Hold Your Notes To Maturity.

You will be entitled under the notes to receive the principal amount only if you hold your notes to maturity (or earlier redemption). If you exchange or sell your notes at any time prior to maturity, you may receive shares or cash worth significantly less than the principal amount of your notes. The term of the notes is approximately seven years.

The Notes Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Notes To Develop.

The notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system. Although the agent and/or its affiliates may purchase the notes from holders, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the notes. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to sell your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which the agent is willing to buy your notes.

If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your notes prior to stated maturity. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the notes to stated maturity.

The Notes Are Subject To The Credit Risk Of Wells Fargo.

The notes are our obligations and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any amounts payable under the notes are subject to our creditworthiness, and you will have no ability to pursue the underlying stock for payment. As a result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness may affect the value of the

PS-7

notes and, in the event we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the notes.

The Estimated Value Of The Notes On The Pricing Date, Based On WFS’s Proprietary Pricing Models, Will Be Less Than The Original Offering Price.

The original offering price of the notes includes certain costs that are borne by you. Because of these costs, the estimated value of the notes on the pricing date will be less than the original offering price. The costs included in the original offering price relate to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the notes, as well as to our funding considerations for debt of this type. The costs related to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the notes include the projected profit that our hedge counterparty (which may be one of our affiliates) expects to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes, as well as hedging and other costs relating to the offering of the notes. Our funding considerations are reflected in the fact that we determine the economic terms of the notes based on an assumed funding rate that is generally lower than our secondary market rates. If the costs relating to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the notes were lower, or if the assumed funding rate we use to determine the economic terms of the notes were higher, the economic terms of the notes would be more favorable to you and the estimated value would be higher.

The Estimated Value Of The Notes Is Determined By Our Affiliate’s Pricing Models, Which May Differ From Those Of Other Dealers.

The estimated value of the notes was determined for us by WFS using its proprietary pricing models and related market inputs and assumptions referred to above under “Summary Information—What is the estimated value of the notes?” Certain inputs to these models may be determined by WFS in its discretion. WFS’s views on these inputs may differ from other dealers’ views, and WFS’s estimated value of the notes may be higher, and perhaps materially higher, than the estimated value of the notes that would be determined by other dealers in the market. WFS’s models and its inputs and related assumptions may prove to be wrong and therefore not an accurate reflection of the value of the notes.

The Estimated Value Of The Notes Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which WFS Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Notes From You In The Secondary Market.

The price, if any, at which WFS or any of its affiliates may purchase the notes in the secondary market will be based on WFS’s proprietary pricing models and will fluctuate over the term of the notes as a result of changes in the market and other factors described in the next risk factor. Any such secondary market price for the notes will also be reduced by a bid-offer spread, which may vary depending on the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the expected cost of unwinding any related hedging transactions. Unless the factors described in the next risk factor change significantly in your favor, any such secondary market price for the notes is likely to be less than the original offering price.

PS-8

The Value Of The Notes Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.

The market value of the notes will be affected by factors that interrelate in complex ways. It is important for you to understand that the effect of one factor may offset the increase in the market value of the notes caused by another factor and that the effect of one factor may exacerbate the decrease in the market value of the notes caused by another factor. The following paragraphs describe factors, which we refer to as the “derivative component factors,” that are expected to affect the value of the notes, and the expected impact on the market value of the notes given a change in a specific factor, assuming all other conditions remain constant.

The market price of the underlying stock is expected to affect the market value of the notes

We expect that the market value of the notes on any given date will depend substantially on the market price of the underlying stock at that time relative to the initial stock price. If you choose to sell your notes when parity is not sufficiently above strike parity, you may have to sell them at a substantial discount compared to the original offering price.

Changes in the volatility of the underlying stock are expected to affect the market value of the notes

Volatility is the term used to describe the size and frequency of price and/or market fluctuations. If the volatility of the underlying stock increases or decreases, the market value of the notes may be adversely affected.

Changes in the levels of interest rates are expected to affect the market value of the notes

We expect that changes in interest rates, even if they do not affect the market price of the underlying stock as described above, may affect the market value of the notes and may be adverse to holders of the notes.

The time remaining to maturity may affect the value of the notes

The value of the notes at any given time prior to maturity will likely be different from that which would be expected based on the then-current market price of the underlying stock. This difference will most likely reflect a discount due to expectations and uncertainty concerning the market price of the underlying stock during the period of time still remaining to the maturity date. In general, as the time remaining to maturity decreases, the value of the notes will approach the amount that could be payable at maturity based on the then-current market price of the underlying stock.

In addition to the derivative component factors, the value of the notes will be affected by actual or anticipated changes in our creditworthiness, as reflected in our secondary market rates.

Your Return On The Notes Could Be Less Than If You Owned The Underlying Stock.

Your return on the notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the underlying stock and received the dividends paid on the underlying stock.

You Will Not Have Any Shareholder Rights.

Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlying stock. As an investor in the notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying stock.

The Notes May Become Exchangeable Into The Common Stock Of A Company Other Than The Issuer Of The Underlying Stock.

Following certain corporate events relating to the underlying stock, such as a stock-for-stock merger where the underlying stock issuer is not the surviving entity, the shares of a successor corporation to the underlying stock

PS-9

issuer will be substituted for the underlying stock for all purposes of the notes. Following certain other corporate events relating to the underlying stock in which holders of the underlying stock would receive all of their consideration in cash and the surviving entity has no marketable securities outstanding or there is no surviving entity (including, but not limited to, a leveraged buyout or other going private transaction involving the underlying stock issuer, or a liquidation of the underlying stock issuer), the common stock of another company in the same industry group as the underlying stock issuer will be substituted for the underlying stock for all purposes of the notes. In the event of such a corporate event, the equity-linked nature of the notes would be significantly altered. We describe the specific corporate events that can lead to these adjustments and the procedures for selecting those other reference stocks in the section entitled “Specific Terms of the Notes — Adjustment Events.” The occurrence of such corporate events and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the market price of the notes.

We Cannot Control Actions By The Underlying Stock Issuer.

Actions by the underlying stock issuer may have an adverse effect on the price of its stock and the value of the notes. We are not affiliated with the underlying stock issuer. The underlying stock issuer is not involved in the offering of the notes and has no obligations with respect to the notes, including any obligation to take our interests or your interests into consideration for any reason. The underlying stock issuer will not receive any of the proceeds of the offering of the notes made hereby and is not responsible for, and has not participated in, the determination of the timing of, prices for, or quantities of, the notes to be issued. The underlying stock issuer is not involved with the administration, marketing or trading of the notes and has no obligations with respect to the amounts payable on the notes.

We And Our Affiliates Have No Affiliation With The Underlying Stock Issuer And Have Not Independently Verified Its Public Disclosure Of Information.

We and our affiliates are not affiliated in any way with the underlying stock issuer. This pricing supplement relates only to the notes and does not relate to the underlying stock. The material provided herein concerning the underlying stock issuer is derived from publicly available documents concerning such company. Neither we nor the agent has participated in the preparation of any of those documents or made any “due diligence” investigation or any inquiry of the underlying stock issuer. Furthermore, neither we nor the agent knows whether the underlying stock issuer has disclosed all events occurring before the date of this pricing supplement—including events that could affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents referred to above. Subsequent disclosure of any event of this kind or the disclosure of or failure to disclose material future events concerning the underlying stock issuer could affect the value of the notes and the amount payable on the notes. You, as an investor in the notes, should make your own investigation into the underlying stock issuer.

In addition, there can be no assurance that the underlying stock issuer will continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and will distribute any reports, proxy statements, and other information required thereby to its shareholders. In the event that the underlying stock issuer ceases to be subject to such reporting requirements and the notes continue to be outstanding, pricing information for the notes may be more difficult to obtain and the value and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected. Neither we nor the agent are responsible for the public disclosure of information by the underlying stock issuer, whether contained in filings with the SEC or otherwise.

You Have Limited Antidilution Protection.

The calculation agent will, in its sole discretion, adjust the exchange ratio for certain events affecting the underlying stock, such as stock splits and stock dividends, and certain other corporate actions involving the underlying stock issuer, such as mergers. However, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect the underlying stock. For example, the calculation agent is not required to make any adjustments to the exchange ratio if the underlying stock issuer or anyone else makes a partial tender or partial exchange offer for the underlying stock. Consequently, this could affect the market value of the notes. See “Specific Terms of the Notes— Adjustment Events” for a description of the general circumstances in which the calculation agent will make adjustments to the exchange ratio.

PS-10

Historical Performance Of The Underlying Stock Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of Its Future Performance During The Term Of The Notes.

It is impossible to predict whether the market price of the underlying stock will rise or fall. The underlying stock has performed differently in the past and is expected to perform differently in the future. The market price of the underlying stock will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that can affect the underlying stock issuer. Accordingly, any historical performance of the underlying stock does not provide an indication of the future performance of the underlying stock. See “The Underlying Stock” for a description of the underlying stock issuer and historical data on the underlying stock.

Our Economic Interests Are Potentially Adverse To Your Interests.

You should be aware of the following ways in which our economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. In engaging in certain of the activities described below, we and our affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the notes, and in so doing we and they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the notes. Our affiliates may realize a profit from these activities even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return on the notes.

—

We will exercise our rights under the notes without taking your interests into account. We may redeem the notes at our option beginning on June , 2018. If we exercise our right to redeem the notes, we will do so at a time that is favorable for us, even if it is not in your interests for us to redeem the notes at such time. Furthermore, if you exercise your exchange right, we will have the option either to deliver shares of the underlying stock to you or to pay you cash based on the value of such shares as determined on the exchange notice date. We will determine whether to deliver shares or cash without regard to your interests. If you exercise your exchange right and we pay you cash, the amount of cash you receive on the exchange settlement date may be less than the aggregate value of the number of shares of the underlying stock equal to the exchange ratio on the exchange settlement date; alternatively, if we deliver shares of the underlying stock to you, the shares may be worth less on the exchange settlement date than their aggregate cash value on the exchange notice date.

—

The calculation agent is our affiliate and may be required to make discretionary judgments that affect the return you receive on the notes. WFS, which is our affiliate, will be the calculation agent for the notes. As calculation agent, WFS will determine the closing price of the underlying stock on any applicable date of determination and may be required to make other determinations that affect the return you receive on the notes. In making these determinations, the calculation agent may be required to make discretionary judgments, including determining whether a market disruption event has occurred on the final exchange date, which may result in postponement of the final exchange date (solely for purposes of determining parity in determining the payment at stated maturity); determining the closing price of the underlying stock if the final exchange date is postponed to the last day to which it may be postponed and such day is not a trading day or a market disruption event occurs on that day; determining the closing price of the underlying stock if it is not otherwise available; adjusting the exchange ratio in certain circumstances; and if a replacement stock event occurs, selecting a replacement stock to be substituted for the underlying stock and making certain other adjustments to the terms of the notes. In making these discretionary judgments, the fact that WFS is our affiliate may cause it to have economic interests that are adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes, and WFS’s determinations as calculation agent may adversely affect your return on the notes.

—

The estimated value of the notes was calculated by our affiliate and is therefore not an independent third-party valuation. WFS calculated the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement, which involved discretionary judgments by WFS, as described under “Risk Factors—The Estimated Value Of The Notes Is Determined By Our Affiliate’s Pricing Models, Which May Differ From Those Of Other Dealers” above. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement is not an independent third-party valuation.

—

Research reports by our affiliates may be inconsistent with an investment in the notes and may adversely affect the price of the underlying stock. Our affiliates may, at present or in the future, publish research reports on the underlying stock or the underlying stock issuer. This research is modified from time to time

PS-11

without notice and may, at present or in the future, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the notes. Any research reports on the underlying stock or the underlying stock issuer could adversely affect the price of the underlying stock and, therefore, adversely affect the value of and your return on the notes. You are encouraged to derive information concerning the underlying stock from multiple sources and should not rely on the views expressed by us or our affiliates. In addition, any research reports on the underlying stock or underlying stock issuer published on or prior to the pricing date could result in an increase in the price of the underlying stock on the pricing date, which would adversely affect investors in the notes by reducing the exchange ratio.

—

Business activities of our affiliates with the underlying stock issuer may adversely affect the price of the underlying stock. Our affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in business with the underlying stock issuer, including making loans to the underlying stock issuer (including exercising creditors’ remedies with respect to such loans), making equity investments in the underlying stock issuer or providing investment banking, asset management or other advisory services to the underlying stock issuer. These business activities could adversely affect the price of the underlying stock and, therefore, adversely affect the value of and your return on the notes. In addition, in the course of these business activities, our affiliates may acquire non-public information about the underlying stock issuer. If our affiliates do acquire such non-public information, we are not obligated to disclose such non-public information to you.

—

Hedging activities by our affiliates may adversely affect the price of the underlying stock. We expect to hedge our obligations under the notes through one or more hedge counterparties, which may include our affiliates. Pursuant to such hedging activities, our hedge counterparty may acquire the underlying stock or listed or over-the-counter derivative or synthetic instruments related to the underlying stock. Depending on, among other things, future market conditions, the aggregate amount and the composition of such positions are likely to vary over time. To the extent that our hedge counterparty has a long hedge position in the underlying stock, or derivative or synthetic instruments related to the underlying stock, they may liquidate a portion of such holdings at or about the time of the exchange notice date, redemption notice date or final exchange date, as applicable. These hedging activities could potentially adversely affect the price of the underlying stock and, therefore, adversely affect the value of and your return on the notes.

—

Trading activities by our affiliates may adversely affect the price of the underlying stock. Our affiliates may engage in trading in the underlying stock and other instruments relating to the underlying stock on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these trading activities could potentially adversely affect the price of the underlying stock and, therefore, adversely affect the value of and your return on the notes.

PS-12

SPECIFIC TERMS OF THE NOTES

The notes are part of a series of debt securities, entitled “Medium-Term Notes, Series K,” that we may issue under the indenture from time to time as described in the accompanying prospectus. The notes are also “debt securities” as described in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

This pricing supplement summarizes specific terms that apply to the notes. Terms that apply generally to all Medium-Term Notes, Series K, are described in “Description of Notes” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The terms described here supplement those described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and, if the terms described there are inconsistent with those described here, the terms described here are controlling.

References herein to “holders” mean those who own notes registered in their own names, on the books that we or the trustee maintain for this purpose, and not indirect holders who own beneficial interests in notes registered in street name or in notes issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company. Please review the special considerations that apply to indirect holders in the accompanying prospectus supplement, under “Description of Notes – Book-Entry, Delivery and Form.”

We describe the terms of the notes in more detail below.

Interest

The notes will bear interest on the principal amount at the rate of 0.25% per annum, payable semi-annually on the day of each June and December, commencing December , 2015 and ending on the stated maturity date (each, an “interest payment date”). See “Description of Notes—Interest and Principal Payments” and “Description of Notes—Fixed Rate Notes” in the prospectus supplement for a discussion of the manner in which interest on the notes will be calculated, accrued and paid. If any scheduled interest payment date is not a business day, we will pay interest on the next business day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled interest payment date.

Parity

Parity on any trading day equals the exchange ratio multiplied by the closing price of the underlying stock, each determined as of such trading day by the calculation agent. The exchange ratio on the date the notes were priced for initial sale to the public (the “pricing date”) multiplied by the initial stock price (“strike parity”) is $ , which is less than the original offering price of the notes.

Underlying Stock

The “underlying stock” is the Class P common stock of Kinder Morgan, Inc. (the “underlying stock issuer”).

If, as a result of any event described under “ — Adjustment Events” below, the notes are exchangeable into equity securities other than the shares of the underlying stock, “underlying stock” shall include such other securities. For additional details on adjustments, see “ — Adjustment Events” below.

PS-13

Payment at Stated Maturity

On June , 2022 (the “stated maturity date”), if you have not previously exchanged your notes and we have not redeemed the notes, we will pay you for each note you hold an amount in cash equal to the greater of the principal amount of $1,000 and parity, as determined on the fifth trading day prior to the stated maturity date (the “final exchange date”), plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

If a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to the underlying stock on the final exchange date and you do not exercise your right to exchange your notes, such final exchange date, solely for purposes of determining parity as described in the immediately preceding paragraph, will be postponed to the first succeeding trading day on which a market disruption event has not occurred and is not continuing. If such first succeeding trading day has not occurred as of the eighth scheduled trading day after the scheduled final exchange date, that eighth scheduled trading day shall be deemed the final exchange date. If the final exchange date has been postponed eight scheduled trading days after the scheduled final exchange date and such eighth scheduled trading day is not a trading day, or if a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to the underlying stock on such eighth scheduled trading day, the calculation agent will determine the closing price of the underlying stock on such eighth scheduled trading day using its good faith estimate of the closing price that would have prevailed for the underlying stock on such date. For the avoidance of doubt, in no circumstances will you have the right to exercise your exchange right on any date following the originally scheduled final exchange date.

If a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing on the final exchange date and you do not exercise your right to exchange your notes, and such final exchange date, for purposes of determining parity, is postponed so that it falls less than three business days prior to the stated maturity date, the stated maturity date will be postponed to the third business day following the final exchange date as postponed.

Exchange Right

The “exchange ratio” is the number of shares of the underlying stock calculated by dividing strike parity by the initial stock price and is equal to on the pricing date. The “initial stock price” is $ , which is based upon an intra-day price of the underlying stock on the pricing date. The exchange ratio will remain constant for the term of the notes unless adjusted for certain corporate events relating to the underlying stock issuer. See “Specific Terms of the Securities — Adjustment Events”.

When you exchange your notes, the calculation agent will determine the exact number of shares of the underlying stock you will receive based on the principal amount of the notes you exchange and the exchange ratio as it may have been adjusted through the exchange settlement date. Since the notes will be held only in book-entry form, you may exercise your exchange right only by acting through your participant at DTC, whose nominee is the registered holder of the notes. Accordingly, as a beneficial owner of notes, if you desire to exchange all or any portion of your notes you must instruct the participant through which you own your interest to exercise the exchange right on your behalf.

—

fill out an Official Notice of Exchange, which is attached as Annex A to this pricing supplement; and

PS-14

—

deliver your Official Notice of Exchange to us before 11:00 A.M., New York City time on the day you notify us of your exercise of the exchange right (the “exchange notice date”).

In order to ensure that the instructions are received by us on a particular day, you must instruct the participant through which you own your interest before that participant’s deadline for accepting instructions from their customers. Different firms may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, as a beneficial owner of notes, you should consult the participant through which you own your interest for the relevant deadline. If you give us your Official Notice of Exchange after 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on any trading day or at any time on a day that is not a trading day, your notice will not become effective until the next trading day, and such next trading day will be the exchange notice date; provided, however, that if you give us your Official Notice of Exchange after 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on any trading day and we exercise our right to redeem the notes on that trading day, your exchange notice will be void. All instructions given to us by participants on your behalf relating to the right to exchange the notes will be irrevocable. In addition, at the time instructions are given, you must direct the participant through which you own your interest to transfer its book entry interest in the related notes, on DTC’s records, to the paying agent on our behalf. See “Description of Notes — Book-Entry, Delivery and Form” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

You must exchange your notes in $1,000 minimum principal amount increments at a time.

You will no longer be able to exchange your notes if we redeem the notes.

Upon any exercise of your exchange right, you will not be entitled to receive any cash payment representing any accrued but unpaid interest. Consequently, if you exchange your notes so that the exchange settlement date (as defined below) occurs during the period from the close of business on a record date (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) for the payment of interest and prior to the next succeeding interest payment date, the notes that you exchange must, as a condition to the delivery of the shares of the underlying stock or cash to you, be accompanied by funds equal to the interest payable on the succeeding interest payment date on the principal amount of notes that you exchange.

Upon any such exchange, we may, at our sole option, either deliver such shares of the underlying stock or pay an amount in cash equal to parity on the exchange notice date, as determined by the calculation agent, in lieu of the underlying stock.

We will, or will cause the calculation agent to, deliver such shares of the underlying stock or cash to the paying agent for delivery to you on the third business day after the exchange notice date, upon delivery of your notes to the paying agent. The “exchange settlement date” will be the third business day after the exchange notice date, or, if later, the day on which your notes are delivered to the paying agent.

The term “trading day” means a day, as determined by the calculation agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the principal trading market for the underlying stock (as determined by the calculation agent, in its sole discretion), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange and in the over-the-counter market for equity securities in the United States.

Redemption Right

We may redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, for settlement on any day from and including June , 2018, to and including the stated maturity date, for an amount in cash per note equal to the greater of (i) the principal amount of $1,000 and (ii) parity determined by the calculation agent on the redemption notice date.

PS-15

Closing Price

The closing price for one share of the underlying stock (or one unit of any other security for which a closing price must be determined) on any trading day means:

—

if the underlying stock (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, the official closing price on such day published by the principal United States securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act on which the underlying stock (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading; or

—

if the underlying stock (or any such other security) is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but is included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service (the “OTC Bulletin Board”) operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day.

If the underlying stock (or any such other security) is listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but the official closing price is not available pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the closing price for one share of the underlying stock (or one unit of any such other security) on any trading day will mean the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the over-the-counter market as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day.

If the official closing price or the last reported sale price, as applicable, for the underlying stock (or any such other security) is not available pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, then the closing price per share for any trading day will be the mean, as determined by the calculation agent, of the bid price for the underlying stock (or any such other security) obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the calculation agent. Bids of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or any of its affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is the highest of the bids obtained. The term “OTC Bulletin Board Service” will include any successor service thereto or, if the OTC Bulletin Board Service is discontinued and there is no successor service thereto, the OTC Reporting Facility operated by FINRA.

Market Disruption Event

A market disruption event means the occurrence or existence of any of the following events:

—

a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in the underlying stock on its primary market for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour before the close of trading in that market, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion;

—

a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in option or futures contracts relating to the underlying stock, if available, in the primary market for those contracts for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour before the close of trading in that market, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion;

—

the underlying stock does not trade on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global

PS-16

Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market or what was the primary market for the underlying stock, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion; or

—

any other event, if the calculation agent determines in its sole discretion that the event materially interferes with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to unwind all or a material portion of a hedge with respect to the notes that we or our affiliates have effected or may effect.

The following events will not be market disruption events:

—

a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading in the underlying stock in its primary market, but only if the limitation results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant market; and

—

a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the option or futures contracts relating to the underlying stock.

For this purpose, a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” in the applicable market will not include any time when that market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. In contrast, a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” in the applicable market for the underlying stock or option or futures contracts relating to the underlying stock, as applicable, by reason of any of:

—

a price change exceeding limits set by that market;

—

an imbalance of orders relating to the underlying stock or those contracts; or

—

a disparity in bid and asked quotes relating to the underlying stock or those contracts

will constitute a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” in the underlying stock or those contracts, as the case may be, in the applicable market.

Events of Default and Acceleration

In case an event of default with respect to any notes has occurred and is continuing, the amount payable to a beneficial owner of a note upon any acceleration permitted by the notes, with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of each note, will be equal to the greater of (i) the principal amount of $1,000 and (ii) parity determined by the calculation agent on the date of acceleration. If a bankruptcy proceeding is commenced in respect of Wells Fargo, the claim of the beneficial owner of a note may be limited to a lesser amount.

In case of default in payment of the notes, whether at their maturity or upon exchange, redemption or acceleration, the notes will not bear a default interest rate.

Adjustment Events

The exchange ratio is subject to adjustment by the calculation agent as a result of the dilution and reorganization events described in this section. The adjustments described below do not cover all events that could affect the underlying stock and, consequently, the value of your notes, such as a tender or exchange offer by the underlying stock issuer for the underlying stock at a premium to its market price or a tender or exchange offer made by a third party for less than all outstanding shares of the underlying stock. We describe the risks relating to dilution above under “Risk Factors — You Have Limited Antidilution Protection.”

How adjustments will be made

If one of the events described below occurs with respect to the underlying stock and the calculation agent determines that the event has a dilutive or concentrative effect on the market price of the underlying stock, the calculation agent will calculate a corresponding adjustment to the exchange ratio as the calculation agent deems

PS-17

appropriate to account for that dilutive or concentrative effect. For example, if an adjustment is required because of a two-for-one stock split, then the exchange ratio will be adjusted by the calculation agent by multiplying the existing exchange ratio by a fraction whose numerator is the number of shares of the underlying stock outstanding immediately after the stock split and whose denominator is the number of shares of the underlying stock outstanding immediately prior to the stock split. Consequently, the exchange ratio will be adjusted to double the prior exchange ratio, due to the corresponding decrease in the market price of the underlying stock. Adjustments will be made for events with an effective date or ex-dividend date, as applicable, from but excluding the pricing date to and including (i) if you exchange your notes and we deliver shares of the underlying stock to you on the exchange settlement date, the exchange settlement date or (ii) in all other circumstances, the exchange notice date, the redemption notice date or the final exchange date, as applicable (the “adjustment period”).

The calculation agent will also determine the effective date of that adjustment, and the replacement of the underlying stock, if applicable, in the event of a consolidation or merger or certain other events in respect of the underlying stock issuer. Upon making any such adjustment, the calculation agent will give notice as soon as practicable to the trustee and the paying agent, stating the adjustment to the exchange ratio. In no event, however, will an antidilution adjustment to the exchange ratio during the term of the notes be deemed to change the principal amount per note.

If more than one event requiring adjustment occurs with respect to the underlying stock, the calculation agent will make an adjustment for each event in the order in which the events occur, and on a cumulative basis. Thus, having made an adjustment for the first event, the calculation agent will adjust the exchange ratio for the second event, applying the required adjustment to the exchange ratio as already adjusted for the first event, and so on for any subsequent events.

For any dilution event described below, other than a consolidation or merger, the calculation agent will not have to adjust the exchange ratio unless the adjustment would result in a change to the exchange ratio then in effect of at least 0.10%. The exchange ratio resulting from any adjustment will be rounded up or down, as appropriate, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth.

If an event requiring an antidilution adjustment occurs, the calculation agent will make the adjustment with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any change in your economic position relative to your notes that results solely from that event. The calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, modify the antidilution adjustments as necessary to ensure an equitable result.

The calculation agent will make all determinations with respect to antidilution adjustments, including any determination as to whether an event requiring adjustment has occurred, as to the nature of the adjustment required and how it will be made or as to the value of any property distributed in a reorganization event, and will do so in its sole discretion. In the absence of manifest error, those determinations will be conclusive for all purposes and will be binding on you and us, without any liability on the part of the calculation agent. You will not be entitled to any compensation from us for any loss suffered as a result of any of these determinations by the calculation agent. The calculation agent will provide information about the adjustments that it makes upon your written request.

If any of the adjustments specified below is required to be made with respect to an amount or value of any cash or other property that is distributed by the underlying stock issuer organized outside the United States, such amount or value will be converted to U.S. dollars, as applicable, and will be reduced by any applicable foreign withholding taxes that would apply to such distribution if such distribution were paid to a U.S. person that is eligible for the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty, if any, between the United States and the jurisdiction of organization of such issuer, as determined by the calculation agent, in its sole discretion.

No adjustments will be made for certain other events, such as offerings of common stock by the underlying stock issuer for cash or in connection with the occurrence of a partial tender or exchange offer for the underlying stock by the underlying stock issuer or any other person.

PS-18

Ordinary Dividend Adjustments

In addition to any adjustments to the exchange ratio described elsewhere in this section, the exchange ratio will be adjusted for changes (whether positive or negative) in the regular quarterly cash dividend payable to holders of the underlying stock relative to the base quarterly dividend (as defined below). If the underlying stock issuer pays a regular quarterly cash dividend for which the ex-dividend date is within the adjustment period and the amount of such regular quarterly cash dividend (the “current quarterly dividend”) differs from the base quarterly dividend, the exchange ratio will be adjusted (an “ordinary dividend adjustment”) on such ex-dividend date so that the new exchange ratio will equal the prior exchange ratio multiplied by the ordinary dividend adjustment factor. If the underlying stock issuer declares that it will pay no dividend in any quarter, other than in connection with a payment period adjustment as discussed below, an adjustment will be made in accordance with this paragraph on the date determined by the calculation agent that, but for the discontinuation of the regular quarterly cash dividend in such quarter, would have been the ex-dividend date in such quarter, corresponding to the ex-dividend date in the immediately prior dividend payment period during which a regular quarterly cash dividend was paid (or, if such date is not a trading day, the next day that is a trading day). If a reorganization event occurs, no ordinary dividend adjustment will be made in respect of any new stock (other than spin-off stock), successor stock or replacement stock (each as defined below).

The “ordinary dividend adjustment factor” will equal a fraction, the numerator of which is the closing price of the underlying stock on the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date for the payment of the current quarterly dividend (such closing price, the “ordinary dividend base closing price”), and the denominator of which equals the ordinary dividend base closing price of the underlying stock on the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date minus the dividend differential. If the dividend differential is negative (because the current quarterly dividend is less than the base quarterly dividend), then the ordinary dividend adjustment factor will be less than 1, and the corresponding adjustment to the exchange ratio will result in a reduction of the exchange ratio.

The “dividend differential” equals the amount of the current quarterly dividend minus the base quarterly dividend.

The “base quarterly dividend” means a quarterly dividend of $0.49 per share; provided that (i) if there occurs any corporate event with respect to the underlying stock that requires an adjustment to the exchange ratio as described in this section “Adjustment Events” or (ii) if the underlying stock issuer effects a change in the periodicity of its dividend payments (e.g., from quarterly payments to semi-annual payments) (a “payment period adjustment”), then in each case the calculation agent will make an appropriate adjustment to the base quarterly dividend with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any change in your economic position relative to the notes that results solely from that event, and references in this section to a quarter or a quarterly dividend shall be deemed to refer instead to such other period or periodic dividend, as appropriate. In the event of a spin-off with respect to the underlying stock, the base quarterly dividend for the original underlying stock will remain unchanged and the base quarterly dividend with respect to the spin-off stock will be $0.00 per share.

Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits

A stock split is an increase in the number of a corporation’s outstanding shares of stock without any change in its stockholders’ equity. Each outstanding share will be worth less as a result of a stock split.

A reverse stock split is a decrease in the number of a corporation’s outstanding shares of stock without any change in its stockholders’ equity. Each outstanding share will be worth more as a result of a reverse stock split.

If the underlying stock is subject to a stock split or a reverse stock split, then once the split has become effective the calculation agent will adjust the exchange ratio to equal the product of the prior exchange ratio and the number of shares issued in such stock split or reverse stock split with respect to one share of the underlying stock.

PS-19

Stock Dividends

In a stock dividend, a corporation issues additional shares of its stock to all holders of its outstanding stock in proportion to the shares they own. Each outstanding share will be worth less as a result of a stock dividend.

If the underlying stock is subject to a stock dividend payable in shares of the underlying stock that is given ratably to all holders of shares of the underlying stock, then once the dividend has become effective the calculation agent will adjust the exchange ratio on the ex-dividend date to equal the sum of the prior exchange ratio and the product of:

—

the number of shares issued with respect to one share of the underlying stock, and

—

the prior exchange ratio.

The “ex-dividend date” for any dividend or other distribution is the first day on and after which the underlying stock trades without the right to receive that dividend or distribution.

No Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions

The exchange ratio will not be adjusted to reflect dividends, including cash dividends, or other distributions paid with respect to the underlying stock, other than:

—

ordinary dividend adjustments described above,

—

stock dividends described above,

—

issuances of transferable rights and warrants as described in “ — Transferable Rights and Warrants” below,

—

distributions that are spin-off events described in “ — Reorganization Events” below, and

—

extraordinary dividends described below.

An “extraordinary dividend” means each of (a) the full amount per share of the underlying stock of any cash dividend or special dividend or distribution that is identified by the underlying stock issuer as an extraordinary or special dividend or distribution, (b) the excess of any cash dividend or other cash distribution (that is not otherwise identified by the underlying stock issuer as an extraordinary or special dividend or distribution) distributed per share of the underlying stock over the immediately preceding cash dividend or other cash distribution, if any, per share of the underlying stock that did not include an extraordinary dividend (as adjusted for any subsequent corporate event requiring an adjustment as described in this section, such as a stock split or reverse stock split) if such excess portion of the dividend or distribution is more than 5.00% of the closing price of the underlying stock on the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date for the payment of such cash dividend or other cash distribution (such closing price, the “extraordinary dividend base closing price”) and (c) the full cash value of any non-cash dividend or distribution per share of the underlying stock (excluding marketable securities, as defined below).

If the underlying stock is subject to an extraordinary dividend, then once the extraordinary dividend has become effective the calculation agent will adjust the exchange ratio on the ex-dividend date to equal the product of:

—

the prior exchange ratio, and

—

a fraction, the numerator of which is the extraordinary dividend base closing price of the underlying stock on the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date and the denominator of which is the amount by which the extraordinary dividend base closing price of the underlying stock on the trading day preceding the ex-dividend date exceeds the extraordinary dividend.

PS-20

Notwithstanding anything herein, the initiation by the underlying stock issuer of an ordinary dividend on the underlying stock or any announced increase in the ordinary dividend on the underlying stock will not constitute an extraordinary dividend requiring an adjustment.

To the extent an extraordinary dividend is not paid in cash or is paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the value of the non-cash component or non-U.S. currency will be determined by the calculation agent, in its sole discretion. A distribution on the underlying stock that is a dividend payable in shares of underlying stock, an issuance of rights or warrants or a spin-off event and also an extraordinary dividend will result in an adjustment to the exchange ratio only as described in “—Stock Dividends” above, “—Transferable Rights and Warrants” below or “—Reorganization Events” below, as the case may be, and not as described here.

Transferable Rights and Warrants

If the underlying stock issuer issues transferable rights or warrants to all holders of the underlying stock to subscribe for or purchase the underlying stock at an exercise price per share that is less than the closing price of the underlying stock on the trading day before the ex-dividend date for the issuance, then the exchange ratio will be adjusted to equal the product of:

—

the prior exchange ratio, and

—

a fraction, (1) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of underlying stock outstanding at the close of trading on the trading day before the ex-dividend date (as adjusted for any subsequent event requiring an adjustment hereunder) plus the number of additional shares of underlying stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or warrants and (2) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of underlying stock outstanding at the close of trading on the trading day before the ex-dividend date (as adjusted for any subsequent event requiring an adjustment hereunder) plus the number of additional shares of underlying stock (referred to herein as the “additional shares”) that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of underlying stock so offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or warrants would purchase at the closing price on the trading day before the ex-dividend date for the issuance.

The number of additional shares will be equal to:

—

the product of (1) the total number of additional shares of underlying stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or warrants and (2) the exercise price of the rights or warrants, divided by

—

the closing price of the underlying stock on the trading day before the ex-dividend date for the issuance.

If the number of shares of underlying stock actually delivered in respect of the rights or warrants differs from the number of shares of underlying stock offered in respect of the rights or warrants, then the exchange ratio will promptly be readjusted to the exchange ratio that would have been in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of the number of shares of underlying stock actually delivered in respect of the rights or warrants.

Reorganization Events

Each of the following is a reorganization event:

—

the underlying stock is reclassified or changed (other than in a stock split or reverse stock split),

—

the underlying stock issuer has been subject to a merger, consolidation or other combination and either is not the surviving entity or is the surviving entity but all outstanding shares of the underlying stock are exchanged for or converted into other property,

PS-21

—

a statutory share exchange involving outstanding shares of the underlying stock and the securities of another entity occurs, other than as part of an event described above,

—

the underlying stock issuer sells or otherwise transfers its property and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another entity,

—

the underlying stock issuer effects a spin-off, other than as part of an event described above (in a spin-off, a corporation issues to all holders of its common stock equity securities of another issuer), or

—

the underlying stock issuer is liquidated, dissolved or wound up or is subject to a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or another entity completes a tender or exchange offer for all the outstanding shares of the underlying stock.

Adjustments for Reorganization Events

If a reorganization event occurs, then the calculation agent will adjust the exchange ratio to reflect the amount and type of property or properties—whether cash, securities, other property or a combination thereof—that a holder of one share of the underlying stock would have been entitled to receive in relation to the reorganization event. We refer to this new property as the “reorganization property.”

Reorganization property can be classified into two categories:

—

an equity security listed on a national securities exchange, which we refer to generally as a “marketable security” and, in connection with a particular reorganization event, “new stock,” which may include any tracking stock, any stock received in a spin-off (“spin-off stock”) or any marketable security received in exchange for the underlying stock; and

—

cash and any other property, assets or securities other than marketable securities (including equity securities that are not listed, that are traded over the counter or that are listed on a non-U.S. securities exchange), which we refer to as “non-stock reorganization property.”

For the purpose of making an adjustment required by a reorganization event, the calculation agent, in its sole discretion, will determine the value of each type of the reorganization property. For purposes of valuing any new stock, the calculation agent will use the closing price of the security on the relevant trading day. The calculation agent will value non-stock reorganization property in any manner it determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate. In connection with a reorganization event in which reorganization property includes new stock, for the purpose of determining the exchange ratio for any new stock as described below, the term “new stock reorganization ratio” means the product of (i) the number of shares of the new stock received with respect to one share of the underlying stock and (ii) the exchange ratio on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the reorganization event.

If a holder of shares of the underlying stock may elect to receive different types or combinations of types of reorganization property in the reorganization event, the reorganization property will consist of the types and amounts of each type distributed to a holder of shares of the underlying stock that makes no election, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion.

If any reorganization event occurs, then on and after the effective date for such reorganization event (or, if applicable, in the case of spinoff stock, the ex-dividend date for the distribution of such spinoff stock) the term “underlying stock” in this pricing supplement will be deemed to mean the following, and for each share of underlying stock, new stock and/or replacement stock so deemed to constitute underlying stock, the exchange ratio will be equal to the applicable number indicated:

(a)

if the underlying stock continues to be outstanding:

(1)

that underlying stock (if applicable, as reclassified upon the issuance of any tracking

PS-22

stock) at the exchange ratio in effect on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the reorganization event; and

(2)

if the reorganization property includes new stock, a number of shares of new stock equal to the new stock reorganization ratio;

provided that, if any non-stock reorganization property is received in the reorganization event, the results of (a)(1) and (a)(2) above will each be multiplied by the “gross-up multiplier,” which will be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the closing price of the underlying stock on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the reorganization event and the denominator of which is the amount by which such closing price of the underlying stock exceeds the value of the non-stock reorganization property received per share of underlying stock as determined by the calculation agent as of the close of trading on such trading day; or

(b)

if the underlying stock is surrendered for reorganization property:

(1)

that includes new stock, a number of shares of new stock equal to the new stock reorganization ratio; provided that, if any non-stock reorganization property is received in the reorganization event, such number will be multiplied by the gross-up multiplier; or

(2)

that consists exclusively of non-stock reorganization property:

(i)

if the surviving entity has marketable securities outstanding following the reorganization event and either (A) such marketable securities were in existence prior to such reorganization event or (B) such marketable securities were exchanged for previously outstanding marketable securities of the surviving entity or its predecessor (“predecessor stock”) in connection with such reorganization event (in either case of (A) or (B), the “successor stock”), a number of shares of the successor stock determined by the calculation agent on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization event equal to the exchange ratio in effect on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization event multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the non-stock reorganization property per share of the underlying stock on such trading day and the denominator of which is the closing price of the successor stock on such trading day (or, in the case of predecessor stock, the closing price of the predecessor stock multiplied by the number of shares of the successor stock received with respect to one share of the predecessor stock); or

(ii)

if the surviving entity does not have marketable securities outstanding, or if there is no surviving entity (in each case, a “replacement stock event”), a number of shares of replacement stock (selected as defined below) with an aggregate value on the effective date of such reorganization event equal to the value of the non-stock reorganization property multiplied by the exchange ratio in effect on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization event.

If a reorganization event occurs with respect to the shares of the underlying stock and the calculation agent adjusts the exchange ratio to reflect the reorganization property in the event as described above, the calculation agent will make further antidilution adjustments for any later events that affect the reorganization property, or any component of the reorganization property, comprising the new exchange ratio. The calculation agent will do so to the same extent that it would make adjustments if the shares of the underlying stock were outstanding and were affected by the same kinds of events. If a subsequent reorganization event affects only a particular component of the number of shares of the underlying stock, the required adjustment will be made with respect to that component as if it alone were the number of shares of the underlying stock.

For purposes of adjustments for reorganization events, in the case of a consummated tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction involving reorganization property of a particular type, reorganization property will be deemed to include the amount of cash or other property paid by the offeror in the tender or exchange offer with

PS-23

respect to such reorganization property (in an amount determined on the basis of the rate of exchange in such tender or exchange offer or going-private transaction). In the event of a tender or exchange offer or a going-private transaction with respect to reorganization property in which an offeree may elect to receive cash or other property, reorganization property will be deemed to include the kind and amount of cash and other property received by offerees who elect to receive cash.

Replacement Stock Events

Following the occurrence of a replacement stock event described in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) above or in “—Delisting of American Depositary Shares or Termination of American Depositary Receipt Facility” below, the amount of shares of the underlying stock or cash, as applicable, payable on each note upon exchange or redemption or at maturity will be determined by reference to a replacement stock and an exchange ratio (subject to any further antidilution adjustments) for such replacement stock as determined in accordance with the following paragraphs.

The “replacement stock” will be the stock having the closest “option period volatility” to the underlying stock among the stocks that then comprise the replacement stock selection index (or, if publication of such index is discontinued, any successor or substitute index selected by the calculation agent in its sole discretion) with the same GICS Code (as defined below) as the underlying stock issuer; provided, however, that a replacement stock will not include (i) any stock that is subject to a trading restriction under the trading restriction policies of Wells Fargo, the hedging counterparties of Wells Fargo or any of their affiliates that would materially limit the ability of Wells Fargo, the hedging counterparties of Wells Fargo or any of their affiliates to hedge the notes with respect to such stock or (ii) any stock for which the aggregate number of shares to be referenced (equal to the product of (a) the exchange ratio that would be in effect immediately after selection of such stock as the replacement stock and (b) the number of the notes outstanding) exceeds 25% of the ADTV (as defined in Rule 100(b) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act) for such stock as of the effective date of the replacement stock event (an “excess ADTV stock”).

If a replacement stock is selected in connection with a reorganization event, the exchange ratio with respect to such replacement stock will be equal to the number of shares of such replacement stock with an aggregate value, based on the closing price on the effective date of such reorganization event, equal to the product of (a) the value of the non-stock reorganization property received per share of the underlying stock and (b) the exchange ratio in effect on the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization event. If replacement stock is selected in connection with an ADS termination event (as defined below), the exchange ratio with respect to such replacement stock will be equal to the number of shares of such replacement stock with an aggregate value, based on the closing price on the change date (as defined below), equal to the product of (x) the closing price of the underlying stock on the change date and (y) the exchange ratio in effect on the trading day immediately prior to the change date.

The “option period volatility” means, in respect of any trading day, the volatility (calculated by referring to the closing price of the underlying stock on its primary exchange) for a period equal to the 125 trading days immediately preceding the announcement date of the reorganization event, as determined by the calculation agent.

“GICS Code” means the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) sub-industry code assigned to the underlying stock issuer; provided, however, if (i) there is no other stock in the replacement stock selection index in the same GICS sub-industry or (ii) a replacement stock (a) for which there is no trading restriction and (b) that is not an excess ADTV stock cannot be identified from the replacement stock selection index in the same GICS sub-industry, the GICS Code will mean the GICS industry code assigned to the underlying stock issuer. If no GICS Code has been assigned to the underlying stock issuer, the applicable GICS Code will be determined by the calculation agent to be the GICS sub-industry code assigned to companies in the same sub-industry (or, subject to the proviso in the preceding sentence, industry, as applicable) as the underlying stock issuer at the time of the relevant replacement stock event.

The “replacement stock selection index” means the S&P 500^® Index.

Delisting of American Depositary Shares or Termination of American Depositary Receipt Facility. If the underlying stock is an ADS and the underlying stock is no longer listed or admitted to trading on a U.S. securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act or included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service operated by the FINRA,

PS-24

or if the American depositary receipt facility between the underlying stock issuer and the depositary is terminated for any reason (each, an “ADS termination event”), then, on the last trading day on which the underlying stock is listed or admitted to trading or the last trading day immediately prior to the date of such termination, as applicable (the “change date”), a replacement stock event shall be deemed to occur.

PS-25

UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income and certain estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes. It applies to you only if you purchase a note for cash in the initial offering at the “issue price,” which is the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold to the public, and hold the note as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including alternative minimum tax consequences, or if you are an investor subject to special rules, such as:

—

a financial institution;

—

a “regulated investment company”;

—

a “real estate investment trust”;

—

a tax-exempt entity, including an “individual retirement account” or “Roth IRA”;

—

a dealer or trader subject to a mark-to-market method of tax accounting with respect to the notes;

—

a person holding a note as part of a “straddle” or conversion transaction or who has entered into a “constructive sale” with respect to a note;

—

a U.S. holder (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; or

—

an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds the notes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership holding the notes or a partner in such a partnership, you should consult your tax adviser as to the particular U.S. federal tax consequences of holding and disposing of the notes to you.

We will not attempt to ascertain whether the issuer of the underlying stock is treated as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code. If the issuer of the underlying stock were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply to you if you are a non-U.S. holder (as defined below) upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of the notes. You should refer to information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authorities and consult your tax adviser regarding the possible consequences to you if the issuer of the underlying stock is or becomes a USRPHC.

This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement may affect the tax consequences described herein, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address the effects of any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or the potential application of the Medicare tax on net investment income. The consequences of receipt, ownership or disposition of the underlying stock are also not discussed. You should consult your tax adviser concerning the application of the U.S. federal income and estate tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction.

General

In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the notes should be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the discussion herein is based on this treatment. Investors should consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes.

PS-28

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders

This section applies only to U.S. holders. You are a “U.S. holder” if you are a beneficial owner of a note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

—

a citizen or individual resident of the United States;

—

a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state therein or the District of Columbia; or

—

an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

Interest Accruals on the Notes. Pursuant to rules governing the tax treatment of contingent payment debt instruments (the “contingent debt regulations”), you will be required to accrue interest income on the notes on a constant yield basis, based on a comparable yield, as described below, regardless of whether you use the cash or accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, you generally will be required to include interest in your taxable income each year in excess of any stated interest payments actually received in that year.

Under the contingent debt regulations you must accrue an amount of ordinary interest income, as original issue discount (“OID”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, for each accrual period prior to and including the maturity date of the notes that equals the product of:

—

the adjusted issue price (as defined below) of the notes as of the beginning of the accrual period,

—

the comparable yield (as defined below) of the notes, adjusted for the length of the accrual period, and

—

a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the accrual period that you held the notes and the denominator of which is the number of days in the accrual period.

The “adjusted issue price” of a note is its issue price increased by any interest income previously accrued, and decreased by the projected amount of any payments (in accordance with the projected payment schedule described below) previously made with respect to the notes.

As used in the contingent debt regulations, the term “comparable yield” means the greater of (i) the annual yield we would pay, as of the issue date, on a fixed-rate, nonconvertible debt instrument with no contingent payments, but with terms and conditions otherwise comparable to those of the notes, and (ii) the applicable federal rate.

The contingent debt regulations require that we provide to U.S. holders, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a schedule of the projected amounts of payments (the “projected payment schedule”) on the notes. This schedule must produce a yield to maturity that equals the comparable yield. Although it is not clear how the comparable yield should be determined for notes (such as these) that provide for an exchange right and a redemption right, our counsel has advised that it is reasonable to determine the comparable yield based on the stated maturity date. U.S. holders may obtain the comparable yield and projected payment schedule by submitting a written request for this information to us at: Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Investment Solutions Group, 375 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10152.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, you are required under the contingent debt regulations to use the comparable yield and the projected payment schedule established by us in determining interest accruals and adjustments in respect of a note, unless you timely disclose and justify the use of a different comparable yield and projected payment schedule to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).

The comparable yield and the projected payment schedule will not be used for any purpose other than to determine your interest accruals and adjustments thereto in respect of a note for U.S. federal income tax purposes. They will not constitute a projection or representation by us regarding the actual amounts that will be paid on a note.

PS-29

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Retirement of Notes. You will recognize taxable gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a note equal to the difference between the amount received and your adjusted tax basis in the note. Any gain recognized will be treated as ordinary interest income and loss will be ordinary loss to the extent of previous interest inclusions and capital loss thereafter. The amount of gain or loss on a sale, exchange, redemption or retirement of a note will be equal to the difference between (a) the amount received (including the fair value of any underlying stock received) by you (the “amount realized”) and (b) your adjusted tax basis in the note.

Your adjusted tax basis in a note generally will be equal to your original purchase price for the note, increased by any interest income you previously accrued and decreased by the amount of any projected payments that previously have been scheduled to be made in respect of the notes.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies only to non-U.S. holders. You are a “non-U.S. holder” if you are a beneficial owner of a note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

—

an individual who is classified as a nonresident alien;

—

a foreign corporation; or

—

a foreign estate or trust.

You are not a non-U.S. holder for purposes of this discussion if you are (i) an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition, (ii) a former citizen or resident of the United States or (iii) a person for whom income or gain in respect of the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If you are or may become such a person during the period in which you hold a note, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the notes.

Treatment of Income and Gain on the Notes. Subject to the discussions above concerning Section 897 of the Code and below concerning FATCA, you will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of the notes, provided that:

—

you do not own, directly or by attribution, ten percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote;

—

you are not a controlled foreign corporation related, directly or indirectly, to us through stock ownership;

—

you are not a bank receiving interest under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and

—

you provide to the applicable withholding agent an appropriate IRS Form W-8 on which you certify under penalties of perjury that you are not a U.S. person.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax

Individual non-U.S. holders and entities the property of which is potentially includible in such an individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, a trust funded by such an individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers) should consider the U.S. federal estate tax implications of an investment in the notes. Absent an applicable treaty benefit, a note will be treated as U.S.-situs property subject to U.S. federal estate tax if payments on the note if received by the decedent at the time of death would have been subject to U.S. federal withholding tax (even if the IRS Form W-8 certification requirement described above were satisfied and not taking into account an elimination of such U.S. federal withholding tax due to the application of an income tax treaty). You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal estate

tax consequences of an investment in the notes in your particular situation and the availability of benefits provided by an applicable estate tax treaty, if any.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Information returns generally will be filed with the IRS with respect to amounts treated as interest on the notes and may be filed with the IRS in connection with the payment of proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition of the notes. If you fail to provide certain identifying information (such as an accurate taxpayer identification number if you are a U.S. holder) or meet certain other conditions, you may also be subject to backup withholding at the rate specified in the Code. If you are a non-U.S. holder that provides an appropriate IRS Form W-8, you will generally establish an exemption from backup withholding. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the relevant information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA Legislation

Legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” generally imposes a withholding tax of 30% on payments to certain non-U.S. entities (including financial intermediaries) with respect to certain financial instruments, unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements have been satisfied. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the non-U.S. entity’s jurisdiction may modify these requirements. Withholding under these rules (if applicable) applies to any payment on the notes of amounts treated as interest and, for dispositions after December 31, 2016, to payments of gross proceeds of the disposition (including upon retirement) of the notes. If withholding applies to the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of FATCA to the notes.

The preceding discussion constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of the notes.
