**Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside** <br> **Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500**<sup>®</sup> **Index due July 5, 2030**<br>

**Estimated Value of the Securities**<br>

The original offering price of each security includes certain costs that are borne by you. Because of these costs, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be less than the original offering price. The costs included in the original offering price relate to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities, as well as to our funding considerations for debt of this type.

The costs related to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities include (i) the agent discount (if any), (ii) the projected profit that our hedge counterparty (which may be one of our affiliates) expects to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities and (iii) hedging and other costs relating to the offering of the securities.

Our funding considerations take into account the higher issuance, operational and ongoing management costs of market-linked debt such as the securities as compared to conventional debt of Wells Fargo & Company of the same maturity, as well as our and our affiliates' liquidity needs and preferences. Our funding considerations are reflected in the fact that we determine the economic terms of the securities based on an assumed rate that is generally lower than our internal funding rate, which is described below and is used in determining the estimated value of the securities.

If the costs relating to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities were lower, or if the assumed rate we use to determine the economic terms of the securities were higher, the economic terms of the securities would be more favorable to you and the estimated value would be higher. The estimated value of the securities as of the pricing date will be set forth in the final pricing supplement.

*Determining the estimated value*

Our affiliate, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC ("<u>WFS</u>"), calculated the estimated value of the securities set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement based on its proprietary pricing models. Based on these pricing models and related market inputs and assumptions referred to in this section below, WFS determined an estimated value for the securities by estimating the value of the combination of hypothetical financial instruments that would replicate the payout on the securities, which combination consists of a non-interest bearing, fixed-income bond (the "<u>debt component</u>") and one or more derivative instruments underlying the economic terms of the securities (the "<u>derivative component</u>").

The estimated value of the debt component is based on an internal funding rate that reflects, among other things, our and our affiliates' view of the funding value of the securities. This rate is used for purposes of determining the estimated value of the securities since we expect secondary market prices, if any, for the securities that are provided by WFS or any of its affiliates to generally reflect such rate. WFS determined the estimated value of the securities based on this internal funding rate, rather than the assumed rate that we use to determine the economic terms of the securities, for the same reason.

WFS calculated the estimated value of the derivative component based on a proprietary derivative-pricing model, which generated a theoretical price for the derivative instruments that constitute the derivative component based on various inputs, including the "derivative component factors" identified in "Selected Risk Considerations—Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market—The Value Of The Securities Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways." These inputs may be market-observable or may be based on assumptions made by WFS in its discretion.

The estimated value of the securities determined by WFS is subject to important limitations. See "Selected Risk Considerations—Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market—The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Determined By Our Affiliate's Pricing Models, Which May Differ From Those Of Other Dealers" and "—Our And The Guarantor's Economic Interests And Those Of Any Dealer Participating In The Offering Are Potentially Adverse To Your Interests."

*Valuation of the securities after issuance*

The estimated value of the securities is not an indication of the price, if any, at which WFS or any other person may be willing to buy the securities from you in the secondary market. The price, if any, at which WFS or any of its affiliates may purchase the securities in the secondary market will be based upon WFS's proprietary pricing models and will fluctuate over the term of the securities due to changes in market conditions and other relevant factors. However, absent changes in these market conditions and other relevant factors, except as otherwise described in the following paragraph, any secondary market price will be lower than the estimated value on the pricing date because the secondary market price will be reduced by a bid-offer spread, which may vary depending on the aggregate face amount of the securities to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the expected cost of unwinding any related hedging transactions. Accordingly, unless market conditions and other relevant factors change significantly in your favor, any secondary market price for the securities is likely to be less than the original offering price.

If WFS or any of its affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time up to the issue date or during the 4-month period following the issue date, the secondary market price offered by WFS or any of its affiliates will be increased by an amount reflecting a portion of the costs associated with selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities that are included in the original offering price. Because this portion of the costs is not fully deducted upon issuance, any secondary market price offered by WFS or any of its affiliates during this period will be higher than it would be if it were based solely on WFS's proprietary pricing models less the bid-offer spread and hedging unwind costs described above. The amount of this increase in the secondary market price will decline steadily to zero over this 4-month period. If you hold the securities through an account at WFS or any of its affiliates, we expect that this increase will also be reflected in the value indicated for the securities on your brokerage account statement.

If WFS or any of its affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities, WFS expects to provide those secondary market prices to any unaffiliated broker-dealers through which the securities are held and to commercial pricing vendors. If you hold your securities through an account at a broker-dealer other than WFS or any of its affiliates, that broker-dealer may obtain market prices for the securities from WFS (directly or indirectly), but could also obtain such market prices from other sources, and may be willing to purchase the securities at any given time at a price that differs from the price at which WFS or any of its affiliates is willing to purchase the securities. As a result, if you hold your securities through an account at a broker-dealer other than WFS or any of its affiliates, the value of the securities on your brokerage account statement may be different than if you held your securities at WFS or any of its affiliates.

The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system. Although WFS and/or its affiliates may buy the securities from investors, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the securities. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop.

**Investor Considerations** <br>

**The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ believe
that the closing value of the Underlier will be greater than or equal to the starting value on one of the call dates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ seek
the potential for a fixed return if the closing value of the Underlier on any call date is greater than or equal to the starting value
in lieu of full participation in any potential appreciation of the Underlier;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ are
willing to accept the risk that, if the closing value of the Underlier on each call date is less than the starting value, they will not
receive any positive return on their investment in the securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ are
willing to accept the risk that, if the securities are not automatically called and the ending value is less than the threshold value,
they will lose some, and possibly a significant portion, of the face amount per security at maturity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ understand
that the term of the securities may be reduced, and that they will not receive a higher call premium payable with respect to a later
call date if the securities are called on an earlier call date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ are
willing to forgo interest payments on the securities and dividends on the securities included in the Underlier; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ are
willing to hold the securities until maturity or automatic call.

**The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ seek
a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity or automatic call;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ require
full payment of the face amount of the securities at stated maturity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ believe
that the closing value of the Underlier on each call date will be less than the starting value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ seek
a security with a fixed term;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ are
unwilling to accept the risk that, if the closing value of the Underlier on each call date is less than the starting value, they will
not receive any positive return on the securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ are
unwilling to accept the risk that the securities may not be automatically called and the ending value may be less than the threshold
value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ are
unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price and that
may be as low as the lower estimated value set forth on the cover page;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ seek
current income over the term of the securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ are
unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Underlier;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ seek
exposure to the upside performance of the Underlier beyond the applicable call premiums;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ are
unwilling to accept the credit risk of Wells Fargo Finance LLC and Wells Fargo & Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ prefer
the lower risk of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

**The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the sections titled "Selected Risk Considerations" herein and "Risk Factors" in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities. For more information about the Underlier, please see the section titled "The Underlier" below.**

**Determining Timing and Amount of Payment on the Securities** <br>

Whether the securities are automatically called on any call date for the applicable call premium will be determined based on the closing value of the Underlier on the applicable call date as follows:

If the securities have not been automatically called, then on the stated maturity date, you will receive a cash payment per security (the maturity payment amount) calculated as follows:

**Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside** <br> **Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500**<sup>®</sup> **Index due July 5, 2030**<br>

**Selected Risk Considerations** <br>

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of the risks relating to the securities generally in the "Risk Factors" section of the accompanying product supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.

**<u>Risks Relating To The Securities Generally</u>**

**If The Securities Are Not Automatically Called And The Ending Value Is Less Than The Threshold Value, You Will Lose Some, And Possibly A Significant Portion, Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.**

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities at stated maturity. If the closing value of the Underlier on each call date is less than the starting value, the securities will not be automatically called, and you will receive a maturity payment amount that will be equal to or less than the face amount, depending on the ending value.

If the ending value is less than the threshold value, the maturity payment amount will be less than the face amount and you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the value of the Underlier in excess of the buffer amount, resulting in a loss of 1% of the face amount for every 1% decline in the Underlier in excess of the buffer amount. As a result, if the ending value is less than the threshold value, you will lose some, and possibly a significant portion, of the face amount per security at maturity. This is the case even if the value of the Underlier is greater than or equal to the starting value or the threshold value at certain times during the term of the securities.

If the securities are not automatically called, your return on the securities will be zero or negative, and therefore will be less than the return you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of Wells Fargo Finance LLC or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the same stated maturity date.

**The Potential Return On The Securities Is Limited To The Call Premium.**

The potential return on the securities is limited to the applicable call premium, regardless of the performance of the Underlier on the applicable call date. The Underlier on the applicable call date may appreciate by significantly more than the percentage represented by the applicable call premium from the pricing date through the applicable call date, in which case an investment in the securities will underperform a hypothetical alternative investment providing a 1-to-1 return based on the performance of the Underlier. Furthermore, if the securities are called on an earlier call date, you will receive a lower call premium than if the securities were called on a later call date, and accordingly, if the securities are called on one of the earlier call dates, you will not receive the highest potential call premium.

**No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities.** 

No periodic payments of interest will be made on the securities. However, if the agreed-upon tax treatment is successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service (the "<u>IRS</u>"), you may be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the securities. You should review the section of this pricing supplement entitled "United States Federal Tax Considerations."

**Higher Call Premiums Are Associated With Greater Risk.** 

The securities offer the potential to receive a call premium that reflects a per annum rate that is higher than the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities of the same maturity. These higher potential call premiums are associated with greater levels of expected risk as of the pricing date as compared to conventional debt securities, including the risk that the securities will not be automatically called and the risk that you may lose some, and possibly a significant portion, of the face amount per security at maturity. The volatility of the Underlier is an important factor affecting this risk. Volatility is a measurement of the size and frequency of daily fluctuations in the value of the Underlier, typically observed over a specified period of time. Volatility can be measured in a variety of ways, including on a historical basis or on an expected basis as implied by option prices in the market. Greater expected volatility of the Underlier as of the pricing date may result in higher call premiums, but it also represents a greater expected likelihood as of the pricing date that the closing value of the Underlier will be less than the starting value on each call date such that the securities will not be automatically called for the applicable call premium, and that the closing value of the Underlier will be less than the threshold value on the final calculation day such that you will lose some, and possibly a significant portion, of the face amount per security at maturity. In general, the higher the call premiums are relative to the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities, the greater the expected risk that the securities will not be automatically called and that you will lose some, and possibly a significant portion, of the face amount per security at maturity.

**You Will Be Subject To Reinvestment Risk.**

If your securities are automatically called early, the term of the securities may be reduced. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the securities are automatically called prior to maturity.

**The U.S. Federal Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Unclear.** 

There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, and we do not intend to request a ruling from the IRS. Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the securities as described in this pricing supplement under "United States Federal Tax Considerations" as well as "Risk Factors— General Risk Factors Relating To All Securities—The U.S. Federal Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Unclear" and "United States Federal Tax Considerations" in the accompanying product supplement. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities might be materially and adversely affected.

**The Stated Maturity Date May Be Postponed If The Final Calculation Day Is Postponed.**

The final calculation day will be postponed if the originally scheduled final calculation day is not a trading day or if the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing on the final calculation day. If such a postponement occurs, the stated maturity date may be postponed. For additional information, see "General Terms of the Securities—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Calculation Day— Securities Linked to a Single Market Measure" and "—Payment Dates" in the accompanying product supplement.

**<u>Risks Relating To An Investment In Wells Fargo Finance LLC's Debt Securities, Including The Securities</u>**

**The Securities Are Subject To Credit Risk.**

The securities are our obligations, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any other third party. Any amounts payable under the securities are subject to creditworthiness and you will have no ability to pursue any securities included in the Underlier for payment. As a result, our and the Guarantor's actual and perceived creditworthiness may affect the value of the securities and, in the event we and the Guarantor were to default on the obligations under the securities and the guarantee, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the securities.

**As A Finance Subsidiary, We Have No Independent Operations And Will Have No Independent Assets.**

As a finance subsidiary, we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of our securities and will have no independent assets available for distributions to the holders of our securities if they make claims in respect of such securities in a bankruptcy, resolution or similar proceeding. Accordingly, any recoveries by such holders will be limited to those available under the related guarantee by the Guarantor and that guarantee will rank *pari passu* with all other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantor. Holders will have recourse only to a single claim against the Guarantor and its assets under the guarantee. Holders of the securities should accordingly assume that in any such proceedings they would not have any priority over and should be treated *pari passu* with the claims of other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of the Guarantor, including holders of unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities issued by the Guarantor.

**Holders Of The Securities Have Limited Rights Of Acceleration.**

**Holders Of The Securities Could Be At Greater Risk For Being Structurally Subordinated If Either We Or The Guarantor Conveys, Transfers Or Leases All Or Substantially All Of Our Or Its Assets To One Or More Of The Guarantor's Subsidiaries.**

**The Securities Will Not Have The Benefit Of Any Cross-Default Or Cross-Acceleration With Other Indebtedness Of The Guarantor; Events Of Bankruptcy, Insolvency, Receivership Or Liquidation Relating To The Guarantor And Failure By The Guarantor To Perform Any Of Its Covenants Or Warranties (Other Than A Payment Default Under The Guarantee) Will Not Constitute An Event Of Default With Respect To The Securities.**

**<u>Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market</u>**

**The Estimated Value Of The Securities On The Pricing Date, Based On WFS's Proprietary Pricing Models, Will Be Less Than The Original Offering Price.** 

The original offering price of the securities includes certain costs that are borne by you. Because of these costs, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be less than the original offering price. The costs included in the original offering price relate to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities, as well as to our funding considerations for debt of this type. The costs related to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities include (i) the agent discount (if any), (ii) the projected profit that our hedge counterparty (which may be one of our affiliates) expects to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities and (iii) hedging and other costs relating to the offering of the securities. Our funding considerations are reflected in the fact that we determine the economic terms of the securities based on an assumed rate that is generally lower than our internal funding rate, which is described above under "Estimated Value of the Securities—Determining the estimated value." If the costs relating to selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities were lower, or if the assumed rate we use to determine the economic terms of the securities were higher, the economic terms of the securities would be more favorable to you and the estimated value would be higher.

**Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside** <br> **Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500**<sup>®</sup> **Index due July 5, 2030**<br>

**The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Determined By Our Affiliate's Pricing Models, Which May Differ From Those Of Other Dealers.** 

The estimated value of the securities was determined for us by WFS using its proprietary pricing models and related market inputs and assumptions referred to above under " Estimated Value of the Securities—Determining the estimated value." Certain inputs to these models may be determined by WFS in its discretion. WFS's views on these inputs may differ from other dealers' views, and WFS's estimated value of the securities may be higher, and perhaps materially higher, than the estimated value of the securities that would be determined by other dealers in the market. WFS's models and its inputs and related assumptions may prove to be wrong and therefore not an accurate reflection of the value of the securities.

**The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which WFS Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The Secondary Market.** 

The price, if any, at which WFS or any of its affiliates may purchase the securities in the secondary market will be based on WFS's proprietary pricing models and will fluctuate over the term of the securities as a result of changes in the market and other factors described in the next risk factor. Any such secondary market price for the securities will also be reduced by a bid-offer spread, which may vary depending on the aggregate face amount of the securities to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the expected cost of unwinding any related hedging transactions. Unless the factors described in the next risk factor change significantly in your favor, any such secondary market price for the securities is likely to be less than the original offering price.

If WFS or any of its affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time up to the issue date or during the 4-month period following the issue date, the secondary market price offered by WFS or any of its affiliates will be increased by an amount reflecting a portion of the costs associated with selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities that are included in the original offering price. Because this portion of the costs is not fully deducted upon issuance, any secondary market price offered by WFS or any of its affiliates during this period will be higher than it would be if it were based solely on WFS's proprietary pricing models less the bid-offer spread and hedging unwind costs described above. The amount of this increase in the secondary market price will decline steadily to zero over this 4-month period. If you hold the securities through an account at WFS or any of its affiliates, we expect that this increase will also be reflected in the value indicated for the securities on your brokerage account statement. If you hold your securities through an account at a broker-dealer other than WFS or any of its affiliates, the value of the securities on your brokerage account statement may be different than if you held your securities at WFS or any of its affiliates, as discussed above under "Estimated Value of the Securities—Valuation of the securities after issuance."

**The Value Of The Securities Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.**

The value of the securities prior to stated maturity will be affected by the then-current value of the Underlier, interest rates at that time and a number of other factors, some of which are interrelated in complex ways. The effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following factors, which we refer to as the "<u>derivative component factors</u>," and which are described in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, are expected to affect the value of the securities: performance of the Underlier; interest rates; volatility of the Underlier; time remaining to maturity; and dividend yields on the securities included in the Underlier. When we refer to the "<u>value</u>" of your securities, we mean the value you could receive for your securities if you are able to sell them in the open market before the stated maturity date.

In addition to the derivative component factors, the value of the securities will be affected by actual or anticipated changes in our and the Guarantor's creditworthiness. The value of the securities will also be limited by the automatic call feature because if the securities are automatically called, the return will not be greater than the applicable call premium. You should understand that the impact of one of the factors specified above, such as a change in interest rates, may offset some or all of any change in the value of the securities attributable to another factor, such as a change in the value of the Underlier. Because numerous factors are expected to affect the value of the securities, changes in the value of the Underlier may not result in a comparable change in the value of the securities.

**The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop.**

The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system. Although the agent and/or its affiliates may purchase the securities from holders, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the securities. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to sell your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which the agent is willing to buy your securities.

If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your securities prior to stated maturity. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the securities to stated maturity.

**<u>Risks Relating To The</u> <u>Underlier</u>**

**Whether The Securities Will Be Automatically Called And The Maturity Payment Amount Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Underlier And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.** 

● **Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In The Underlier.** Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the securities included in the Underlier. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the securities included in the Underlier for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid on those securities. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the securities included in the Underlier would have.

● **Historical Values Of The Underlier Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of The Underlier During The Term Of The Securities.** 

● **Changes That Affect The Underlier May Adversely Affect The Value Of The Securities, Whether The Securities Will Be Automatically Called And The Maturity Payment Amount.** 

● **We Cannot Control Actions By Any Of The Unaffiliated Companies Whose Securities Are Included In The Underlier.** 

● **We And Our Affiliates Have No Affiliation With The Underlier Sponsor And Have Not Independently Verified Its Public Disclosure Of Information.** 

**<u>Risks Relating To Conflicts Of Interest</u>**

**Our And The Guarantor's Economic Interests And Those Of Any Dealer Participating In The Offering Are Potentially Adverse To Your Interests.** 

You should be aware of the following ways in which our and the Guarantor's economic interests and those of any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities, which we refer to as a "<u>participating dealer</u>," are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. In engaging in certain of the activities described below and as discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the securities. Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may realize a profit from these activities even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return on the securities.

●  ***The calculation agent is our affiliate and may be required to make discretionary judgments that affect the return you receive on the securities.*** WFS, which is our affiliate, will be the calculation agent for the securities. As calculation agent, WFS will determine any values of the Underlier and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the securities. In making these determinations, WFS may be required to make discretionary judgments that may adversely affect any payments on the securities. See the sections entitled "General Terms of the Securities— Certain Terms for Securities Linked to an Index—Market Disruption Events," "—Adjustments to an Index" and "—Discontinuance of an Index" in the accompanying product supplement. In making these discretionary judgments, the fact that WFS is our affiliate may cause it to have economic interests that are adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities, and WFS's determinations as calculation agent may adversely affect your return on the securities.

●  ***The estimated value of the securities was calculated by our affiliate and is therefore not an independent third-party valuation.*** 

●  ***Research reports by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may be inconsistent with an investment in the securities and may adversely affect the value of the Underlier.*** 

●  ***Business activities of our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates with the companies whose securities are included in the Underlier may adversely affect the value of the Underlier.*** 

●  ***Hedging activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the value of the Underlier.*** 

●  ***Trading activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the value of the Underlier.*** 

●  ***A participating dealer or its affiliates may realize hedging profits projected by its proprietary pricing models in addition to any selling concession and/or other fee, creating a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the securities to you.***

**Hypothetical Examples and Returns** <br>

The payout profile, return tables and examples below illustrate hypothetical payments upon an automatic call or at stated maturity for a $1,000 face amount security on a hypothetical offering of securities under various scenarios, with the assumptions set forth in the table below. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent the actual starting value or threshold value. The hypothetical starting value of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting value. The actual starting value and threshold value will be determined on the pricing date and will be set forth under "Terms of the Securities" above. For actual historical data of the Underlier, see the historical information set forth herein. The payout profile, return table and examples below assume that an investor purchases the securities for $1,000 per security. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The actual amount you receive at stated maturity or upon automatic call and the resulting pre-tax total rate of return will depend on the actual terms of the securities.

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical closing value on first call date:** | 150.00 |

---

Because the hypothetical closing value of the Underlier on the first call date is greater than the hypothetical starting value, the securities are automatically called on the first call date and you will receive on the related call settlement date the face amount of your securities plus a call premium of 8.00% of the face amount. Even though the Underlier appreciated by 50.00% from its starting value to its closing value on the first call date in this example, your return is limited to the call premium of 8.00% that is applicable to that call date.

On the call settlement date, you would receive $1,080.00 per security.

**Example 2. The securities are not automatically called prior to the last call date (the final calculation day). The closing value of the Underlier on the final calculation day is greater than the starting value, and the securities are automatically called on the final calculation day:** 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **The Underlier** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical starting value:** | 100.00 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical closing value on call dates prior to the final calculation day**: | Various (all below starting value) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical closing value on final calculation day (i.e., the ending value):** | 120.00 |

---

Because the hypothetical closing value of the Underlier on each call date prior to the last call date (which is the final calculation day) is less than the hypothetical starting value, the securities are not automatically called prior to the final calculation day. Because the hypothetical closing value of the Underlier on the final calculation day is greater than the hypothetical starting value, the securities are automatically called on the final calculation day and you will receive on the related call settlement date (which is the stated maturity date) the face amount of your securities plus a call premium of 32.00% of the face amount.

On the call settlement date (which is the stated maturity date), you would receive $1,320.00 per security.

**Example 3. The securities are not automatically called. The ending value is less than the starting value, but greater than the threshold value and the maturity payment amount is equal to the face amount:** 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **The Underlier** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical starting value:** | 100.00 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical closing value on each call date prior to the final calculation day**: | Various (all below starting value) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical ending value:**  | 95.00 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical threshold value:**  | 92.50 |

---

Because the hypothetical closing value of the Underlier on each call date (including the final calculation day) is less than the hypothetical starting value, the securities are not automatically called. Because the hypothetical ending value is less than the hypothetical starting value, but not by more than the buffer amount, you would receive the face amount of your securities at maturity.

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000.00 per security.

**Example 4. The securities are not automatically called. The ending value is less than the threshold value and the maturity payment amount is less than the face amount:**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **The Underlier** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical starting value:** | 100.00 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical closing value on each call date prior to the final calculation day**: | Various (all below threshold value) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical ending value:**  | 50.00 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Hypothetical threshold value:**  | 92.50 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Performance factor:**  | 50.00% |

---

Because the hypothetical closing value of the Underlier on each call date (including the final calculation day) is less than the hypothetical starting value, the securities are not automatically called. Because the hypothetical ending value is less than the hypothetical starting value by more than the buffer amount, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive a maturity payment amount per security equal to:

= $1,000 × (performance factor + buffer amount)

= $1,000 × (50.00% + 7.50%)

= $575.00

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $575.00 per security.

**United States Federal Tax Considerations** <br>

You should review carefully the section entitled "United States Federal Tax Considerations" in the accompanying product supplement. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.

Generally, this discussion assumes that you purchased the securities for cash in the original issuance at the stated issue price and does not address other circumstances specific to you. Moreover, as discussed in the section entitled "United States Federal Tax Considerations" in the accompanying product supplement, we have not attempted to ascertain whether any issuer of any shares (or other equity interests) to which a security relates is a U.S. real property holding corporation or a passive foreign investment company. If any such issuer were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply, to a U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) in the case of a passive foreign investment company, or to a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) in the case of a U.S. real property holding corporation. You should consult your tax advisor regarding these issues, including the effect any circumstances specific to you may have on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your ownership of a security.

In the opinion of our counsel, it is reasonable to treat a security as a prepaid derivative contract that is an "open transaction" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as more fully described in "United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Securities Treated as Prepaid Derivative Contracts that are Open Transactions" in the accompanying product supplement. However, our counsel's opinion is based on market conditions as of the date of this preliminary pricing supplement and is subject to confirmation in the final pricing supplement.

By purchasing a security, you agree (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to this treatment. Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your securities should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your securities for more than a year and short-term capital gain or loss otherwise. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the securities could be materially and adversely affected.

Moreover, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. In addition, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential changes in applicable law.

*Non-U.S. Holders.* If you are a non-U.S. Holder, please also read the section entitled "United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders" in the accompanying product supplement.

Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder ("<u>Section 871(m)</u>") generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to non-U.S. holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to equities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each, an "<u>Underlying Security</u>"). An IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027, that do not have a delta of one with respect to any Underlying Security. Based on the terms of the securities and certain determinations made by us as of the date of this pricing supplement, we expect that the securities will not be treated as transactions that have a "delta" of one within the meaning of the regulations with respect to any Underlying Security. Therefore, we expect that the securities will not be subject to withholding tax under Section 871(m). However, the final determination regarding the treatment of the securities under Section 871(m) will be made as of the pricing date for the securities. A determination that the securities are not subject to Section 871(m) is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the securities.

In the event of any withholding on the securities, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.
