### Board Structure and Operations
Our Board Leadership Structure

Wells Fargo has an independent Board Chair. The Board believes that its current leadership structure provides appropriate leadership and oversight for our Company and our Board given our current priorities. In reviewing and considering any changes to this structure, the Board, including the GNC, would consider the structure that best serves the interests of our shareholders.

Additionally, 12 of the 13 director nominees are independent under the Director Independence Standards adopted by our Board, which include the NYSE’s corporate governance rules, and all members of our standing Board committees are independent.

The Board has adopted, and annually reviews and approves, well-defined authority and responsibilities of the independent Chair, as reflected in the chart below.
