The transaction places $2,250,000,000 of senior unsecured notes due May 20, 2029, with a 4.577% fixed coupon through May 20, 2028 and a floating rate thereafter tied to Compounded SOFR plus 0.72%. The pricing implies a re-offer yield of 4.577% and an agent discount of 0.25%.

Redemption mechanics include a first par call on May 20, 2028, a make‑whole period commencing May 27, 2027 with a 0.10% make‑whole spread, and potential regulatory approval conditions for redemptions. Trading listing is None; secondary liquidity will depend on dealer activity.

Notes characterized as variable rate debt securities; OID possible depending on final issue terms.

Legal opinion states the notes should be treated as variable rate debt securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Although issued at par in expectation, rules governing combined fixed and qualified floating rates mean the notes could be issued with original issue discount (OID); determination occurs at issuance.

Holders seeking OID determination guidance are directed to the specified Wells Fargo Treasury Funding contact. Tax characterization affects accruals and reporting for U.S. holders; documentation and final issue terms will clarify whether OID applies.

Compounded SOFR financial
"floating rate tied to compounded SOFR plus +72 basis points"
Compounded SOFR is an interest rate benchmark calculated by taking the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) values over a set period and combining them to produce a single effective interest rate for that period. Think of it like rolling up many tiny daily interest charges into one total bill for the month or quarter; it determines the actual interest owed on floating-rate loans, bonds, and derivatives. Investors care because it directly affects borrowing costs, cash flows and the value of interest-sensitive securities, and it is widely used as a replacement for older benchmark rates.

Supplemental Plan of

Distribution:

  

On May 13, 2026, we agreed to sell to the Agents, and the Agents agreed to purchase, the notes at a purchase price of 99.75%, plus accrued interest, if any, from May 20, 2026. The purchase price equals the issue price of 100.00% less a discount of 0.25% of the principal amount of the notes.

 

  

To the extent any Agent that is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer intends to effect any offers or sales of any notes in the United States, it will do so through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers in accordance with the applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations.

 

United States Federal

Income Tax Considerations:

  

In the opinion of Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, the notes should be considered variable rate debt securities that provide for stated interest at a fixed rate in addition to a qualified floating rate. See “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders—Debt Securities—Variable Rate Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. Notwithstanding that we expect that the notes will be issued at par, under rules governing notes with a fixed rate in addition to a qualified floating rate, it is possible that the notes could be issued with OID. Whether the notes are issued with OID will be determined at the time of issue. Information regarding the determination of the amount of OID, if any, on the notes may be obtained by submitting a written request to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Treasury Funding Desk, N9310-060, 550 South Fourth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55415-1529.

 

  

Additional tax considerations are discussed under “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus.

Prohibition of Sales to United Kingdom Retail Investors

The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For these purposes:

  (ii)

a “qualified investor” as defined in paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to The Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024 (the “UK POATRs”); and

 

  (b)

the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means, presenting sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered, so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for those notes.

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of assimilated law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling packaged retail and insurance-based investment products or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the United Kingdom has been prepared, and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
