 policies prohibit retaliation of any kind against anyone for providing information in good faith or otherwise in accordance with applicable country‑specific laws. 
 When an allegation is made, our policies require us to thoroughly and objectively investigate it and take appropriate action, up to and including termination of any employee found to have engaged in inappropriate conduct.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
 We track allegations throughout their lifecycle, including the resulting outcomes, as part of our process for reviewing allegations in a timely manner. This process manages the investigation from intake of the allegation through closure.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
 Post-Allegation Reviews and Actions                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 To solicit feedback on the investigations process, the Employee Investigations team will from time to time survey parties involved in an investigation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
 We also complete post-allegation reviews and other actions. Where appropriate, this includes conducting root cause analyses to consider trends or themes, and from time to time, we may also conduct ad hoc deep dive analyses to assess trends.

#### 100Wells Fargo & Company

#### Shareholder Proposals
We believe the report requested by the proposal is unnecessary because our actions, disclosures in this Proxy Statement about our Board’s ongoing oversight of human capital risk and human capital management, and our current framework of comprehensive policies, procedures and programs related to preventing and addressing harassment and discrimination and employee conduct allegations are responsive to the requests of the proposal, and already address the priorities of our shareholders. Accordingly, we believe that the report requested by the proposal is not in the best interest of Wells Fargo or our shareholders, or other stakeholders.
