Insights
5.00% fixed coupon over a 10-year term with issuer call annually; investor yield depends on purchase price.
The notes pay a 5.00% fixed annual interest rate and mature on March 23, 2036, with semi-annual payments beginning September 23, 2026. Wells Fargo may redeem the notes in whole on annual optional redemption dates starting March 23, 2028, at 100% of principal plus accrued interest.
Because certain investors may pay between $987.00 and $1,000.00 per note, actual investor yield will vary by purchase price. The notes are unsecured senior debt and subject to Wells Fargo credit risk; secondary-market liquidity is not expected because the notes will not be listed.
Standard legal and tax framing: notes treated as debt; disclosures emphasize credit and liquidity risks.
Counsel opines the notes are debt instruments for U.S. federal tax purposes and not issued with original issue discount based on the representations cited. The pricing supplement references the prospectus supplement dated February 13, 2026 for full tax and legal risk discussion.
Distribution terms show an agent discount up to $13.00 per note and disclose potential hedging profits for affiliates. Any redemption may be subject to regulatory approval, and holders have limited acceleration rights.
