IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONALD SIEMERS, individually and on

behalf of all others similarly situated,

Plaintiff,

 v.

WELLS FARGO & CO.; WELLS FARGO

FUNDS MANAGEMENT, LLC; WELLS

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.; H.D.

VEST INVESTMENT SERVICES; WELLS

FARGO INVESTMENTS, LLC; STEPHENS,

INC.; and WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST,

Defendants. /

No. C 05-04518 WHA

ORDER TO CLARIFY

SUBMISSION

By 4:00 p.m. today, plaintiff’s counsel shall file a statement on the following:

1. With respect to plaintiff’s statement that “Defendants have told the NASD,

however, that the total averaged $18 million per year” (Br. 2), does this mean $18 million paid

by the Wells Fargo Funds to anyone versus paid by the Wells Fargo Funds to Wells Fargo

Investments versus received by Wells Fargo Investments from all funds?

2. Plaintiff’s quotation from Harden v. Raffensperger, Hughes & Co., 933 F. Supp.

763, 771 (S.D. Ind. 1996), to support the argument that certain defendants “are strictly liable

. . . under section 12,” is most misleading. The passage referenced dealt solely with Section 11,
