scheduled Determination Date is not a Trading Day, the Determination Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Trading Day. The Determination Date is also subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event. If a Market
Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Underlier on the Determination Date, such Determination Date will be postponed to the first succeeding Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event has not occurred and is not
continuing; however, if such first succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth Trading Day after the originally scheduled Determination Date, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Determination Date. If the Determination
Date has been postponed eight Trading Days after the originally scheduled Determination Date and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Underlier on such eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the

 Market Disruption Events

 A “Market Disruption Event” means any of the following events as determined by the Calculation
Agent in its sole discretion: 
  

	 	(A)	 The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by the Relevant Stock Exchange or otherwise relating to
the shares (or other applicable securities) of the Underlier or any Successor Underlier (as defined below) on the Relevant Stock Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on such day, whether by reason of

	 	(B)	 The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by any Related Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise in
futures or options contracts relating to the shares (or other applicable securities) of the Underlier or any Successor Underlier on any Related Futures or Options Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on
that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the Related Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise. 


  

	 	(C)	 The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in
general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, shares (or other applicable securities) of the Underlier or any Successor Underlier on the Relevant Stock Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of
Trading on that day. 


  

	 	(D)	 The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in
general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, futures or options contracts relating to shares (or other applicable securities) of the Underlier or any Successor Underlier on any Related Futures or Options Exchange at any time
during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on that day. 


  

	 	(E)	 The closure of the Relevant Stock Exchange or any Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to the Underlier or any Successor Underlier
prior to its Scheduled Closing Time unless the earlier closing time is announced by the Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, 



  
 4 









	 	 
at least one hour prior to the earlier of (1) the actual closing time for the regular trading session on such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable,
and (2) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, system for execution at the Close of Trading on that day. 



 

	 	(F)	 The Relevant Stock Exchange or any Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to the Underlier or any Successor Underlier fails to open for
trading during its regular trading session. 


 For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption
Event has occurred: 
  

	 	(1)	 “Close of Trading” means the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange with respect to the Underlier or any Successor
Underlier; and 


  

	 	(2)	 the “Scheduled Closing Time” of the Relevant Stock Exchange or any Related Futures or Options Exchange on any Trading Day for the
Underlier or any Successor Underlier means the scheduled weekday closing time of such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange on such Trading Day, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside the regular trading

 Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating to the Underlier; Alternate Calculation 

Anti-dilution Adjustments 

The Calculation Agent will adjust the Adjustment Factor with respect to the Underlier as specified below if any of the events
specified below occurs with respect to the Underlier and the effective date or ex-dividend date, as applicable, for such event is after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Determination Date. 

The adjustments specified below do not cover all events that could affect the Underlier. The Calculation Agent may, in its
sole discretion, make additional adjustments to any terms of this Security upon the occurrence of other events that affect or could potentially affect the market price of, or shareholder rights in, the Underlier, with a view to offsetting, to the
extent practical, any such change, and preserving the relative investment risks of this Security. In addition, the Calculation Agent may, in its sole discretion, make adjustments or a series of adjustments that differ from those described herein if
the Calculation Agent determines that such adjustments do not properly reflect the economic consequences of the events specified herein or would not preserve the relative investment risks of this Security. All determinations made by the Calculation
Agent in making any adjustments to the terms of this Security, including adjustments that are in addition to, or that differ from, those described herein, will be made in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner, with the aim of ensuring an
equitable result. In determining whether to make any adjustment to the terms of this Security, the Calculation Agent may consider any adjustment made by the Options Clearing Corporation or any other equity derivatives clearing organization on
options contracts on the Underlier. 

  
 5 








 For any event described below, the Calculation Agent will not be required to
adjust the Adjustment Factor unless the adjustment would result in a change to the Adjustment Factor then in effect of at least 0.10%. The Adjustment Factor resulting from any adjustment will be rounded up or down, as appropriate, to the nearest
one-hundred thousandth. 
  

	 	(A)	 Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits 


  

	 	    	 If a stock split or reverse stock split has occurred, then once such split has become effective, the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted to equal
the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and the number of securities which a holder of one share (or other applicable security) of the Underlier before the effective date of such stock split or reverse stock split would have owned or been
entitled to receive immediately following the applicable effective date. 


  

	 	(B)	 Stock Dividends 


  

	 	    	 If a dividend or distribution of shares (or other applicable securities) to which this Security is linked has been made by the Underlier ratably to
all holders of record of such shares (or other applicable security), then the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date to equal the prior Adjustment Factor plus the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and the number of shares
(or other applicable security) of the Underlier which a holder of one share (or other applicable security) of the Underlier before the ex-dividend date would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following that date; provided, however,
that no adjustment will be made for a distribution for which the number of securities of the Underlier paid or distributed is based on a fixed cash equivalent value. 



 

	 	(C)	 Extraordinary Dividends 


  

	 	    	 If an Extraordinary Dividend (as defined below) has occurred, then the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date to equal the
product of the prior Adjustment Factor and a fraction, the numerator of which is the Closing Price per share (or other applicable security) of the Underlier on the Trading Day preceding the ex-dividend date, and the denominator of which is the
amount by which the Closing Price per share (or other applicable security) of the Underlier on the Trading Day preceding the ex-dividend date exceeds the Extraordinary Dividend Amount (as defined below). 



 

	 	    	 For purposes of determining whether an Extraordinary Dividend has occurred: 



 

	 	(1)	 “Extraordinary Dividend” means any cash dividend or distribution (or portion thereof) that the Calculation Agent determines, in
its sole discretion, is extraordinary or special; and 


  

	 	(2)	 “Extraordinary Dividend Amount” with respect to an Extraordinary Dividend for the securities of the Underlier will equal the
amount per share (or other applicable security) of the Underlier of the applicable cash 



  
 6 









	 	 
dividend or distribution that is attributable to the Extraordinary Dividend, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. 



 

	 	    	 A distribution on the securities of the Underlier described below under the section entitled “—Reorganization Events” below that
also constitutes an Extraordinary Dividend will only cause an adjustment pursuant to that “—Reorganization Events” section. 


  

	 	(D)	 Other Distributions 


  

	 	    	 If the Underlier declares or makes a distribution to all holders of the shares (or other applicable security) of the Underlier of any non-cash
assets, excluding dividends or distributions described under the section entitled “—Stock Dividends” above, then the Calculation Agent may, in its sole discretion, make such adjustment (if any) to the Adjustment Factor as it deems
appropriate in the circumstances. If the Calculation Agent determines to make an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, it will do so with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any change in the economic position of a holder of this
Security that results solely from the applicable event. 


  

	 	(E)	 Reorganization Events 


  

	 	    	 If the Underlier, or any Successor Underlier, is subject to a merger, combination, consolidation or statutory exchange of securities with another
exchange traded fund, and the Underlier is not the surviving entity (a “Reorganization Event”), then, on or after the date of such event, the Calculation Agent shall, in its sole discretion, make an adjustment to the Adjustment
Factor or the method of determining the Cash Settlement Amount or any other terms of this Security as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on this Security of such event, and determine the effective date of
that adjustment. If the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the Calculation Agent may deem such event a Liquidation Event (as defined below). 



Liquidation Events 

If the Underlier is de-listed, liquidated or otherwise terminated (a “Liquidation Event”), and a successor or
substitute exchange traded fund exists that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the Underlier, then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of that determination to the Trustee and the Company, any
subsequent Fund Closing Price for the Underlier will be determined by reference to the Fund Closing Price of such successor or substitute exchange traded fund (such exchange traded fund being referred to herein as a “Successor
Underlier”), with such adjustments as the Calculation Agent determines are appropriate to account for the economic effect of such substitution on the holder of this Security. 

If the Underlier undergoes a Liquidation Event prior to, and such Liquidation Event is continuing on, the date that any Fund
Closing Price of the Underlier is to be determined and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Underlier is available at such time, then the 

  
 7 








 
Calculation Agent will, in its discretion, calculate the Fund Closing Price for the Underlier on such date by a computation methodology that the Calculation Agent determines will as closely as
reasonably possible replicate the Underlier, provided that if the Calculation Agent determines in its discretion that it is not practicable to replicate the Underlier (including but not limited to the instance in which the sponsor of the index
underlying the Underlier discontinues publication of that index), then the Calculation Agent will calculate the Fund Closing Price for the Underlier in accordance with the formula last used to calculate such Fund Closing Price before such
Liquidation Event, but using only those securities that were held by the Underlier immediately prior to such Liquidation Event without any rebalancing or substitution of such securities following such Liquidation Event. 

If a Successor Underlier is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates the Fund Closing Price as a substitute for the
Underlier, such Successor Underlier or Fund Closing Price will be used as a substitute for the Underlier for all purposes, including for purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists. 

If any event is both a Reorganization Event and a Liquidation Event, such event will be treated as a Reorganization Event for
purposes of this Security unless the Calculation Agent makes the determination referenced in the last sentence of the section entitled “—Anti-dilution Adjustments—Reorganization Events” above. 

Alternate Calculation 

If at any time the method of calculating the Underlier or a Successor Underlier, or the Underlying Index, is changed in a
material respect, or if the Underlier or a Successor Underlier is in any other way modified so that the Underlier does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the price of the securities of the Underlier or such Successor
Underlier had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent may, at the close of business in New York City on the date that any Fund Closing Price is to be determined, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good
faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a Closing Price of an exchange traded fund comparable to the Underlier or such Successor Underlier, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been
made, and calculate the Fund Closing Price and the Cash Settlement Amount with reference to such adjusted Closing Price of the Underlier or such Successor Underlier, as applicable. 

Calculation Agent 

The Calculation Agent will determine the Cash Settlement Amount and the Final Underlier Level. In addition, the Calculation
Agent will (i) determine if adjustments are required to the Fund Closing Price and/or the Adjustment Factor under the circumstances described in this Security, (ii) if the Underlier undergoes a Liquidation Event, select a Successor
Underlier or, if no Successor Underlier is available, determine the Fund Closing Price of the Underlier, and (iii) determine whether a Market Disruption Event or non-Trading Day has occurred. 

  
 8 








 The Company covenants that, so long as this Security is Outstanding, there shall
at all times be a Calculation Agent (which shall be a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) with respect to this Security. 

All determinations made by the Calculation Agent with respect to this Security will be at the sole discretion of the
Calculation Agent and, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holder of this Security. 

Tax Considerations 

The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a beneficial ownership interest in this Security each Holder of this Security will be
deemed to have agreed (in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary), for United States federal income tax purposes to treat this Security as a prepaid derivative contract that is an “open
transaction.” 
 Redemption and Repayment 

This Security is not subject to redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior
to January 11, 2018. This Security is not entitled to any sinking fund. 
 Acceleration 

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to this Security shall occur and be continuing, the Cash
Settlement Amount (calculated as set forth in the next sentence) of this Security may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted
under the Indenture will be equal to the Cash Settlement Amount hereof calculated as provided herein as though the date of acceleration was the Determination Date. 
  

 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions
shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication
hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature or its duly authorized agent under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

WELLS FARGO & COMPANY 

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K 

Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the iShares® MSCI 

Emerging Markets ETF 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the
“Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of July 21, 1999, as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and
Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is
one of the series of the Securities designated as Medium-Term Notes, Series K, of the Company, which series is limited to an aggregate principal amount or face amount, as applicable, of $25,000,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in one or more
foreign or composite currencies. The amount payable on the Securities of this series may be determined by reference to the performance of one or more equity-, commodity- or currency-based indices, exchange traded funds, securities, commodities,
currencies, statistical measures of economic or financial performance, or a basket comprised of two or more of the foregoing, or any other market measure or may bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate. The Securities of this series may
mature at different times, be redeemable at different times or not at all, be repayable at the option of the Holder at different times or not at all and be denominated in different currencies. 

Article Sixteen of the Indenture shall not apply to this Security. 

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons and will be either
(a) book-entry securities represented by one or more Global Securities recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary or (b) certificated
securities issued to and registered in the names of, the beneficial owners or their nominees. 
 The Company agrees, to the
extent permitted by law, not to voluntarily claim the benefits of any laws concerning usurious rates of interest against a Holder of this Security. 

Modification and Waivers 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights
and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the 

  
 11 








 
time Outstanding of all series to be affected, acting together as a class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all
series at the time Outstanding affected by certain provisions of the Indenture, acting together as a class, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with those provisions of the Indenture. Certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences may be waived under the Indenture by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such
series. Solely for the purpose of determining whether any consent, waiver, notice or other action or Act to be taken or given by the Holders of Securities pursuant to the Indenture has been given or taken by the Holders of Outstanding Securities in
the requisite aggregate principal amount, the principal amount of this Security will be deemed to be equal to the amount set forth on the face hereof as the “Face Amount” hereof. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Security. 
 Defeasance

Indenture, relating to defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and certain Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein,
shall not apply to this Security. The remaining provisions of Section 401 of the Indenture shall apply to this Security.

Indenture and subject to the limitations provided therein and to the limitations described below, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

No Personal Recourse 

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the Cash Settlement Amount, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect
hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of
any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.
