WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter
called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                                         
                          DOLLARS
($                 ) on May 19, 2023 (the “Stated Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon from May 19, 2015 or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for quarterly on each February 19, May 19, August 19 and November 19, commencing August 19, 2015 and at Maturity (each, an “Interest
Payment Date”), at the rate per annum specified below until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest next preceding such Interest Payment Date. The Regular Record
Date for an Interest Payment Date shall be one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, interest on this Security shall be payable on the next day that is a Business Day, with the same
force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and without any interest or other payment with respect to the delay. “Business Day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a
day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in New York, New York. 
 Except
as described below for the first Interest Period, on each Interest Payment Date, interest will be paid for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding 

 
Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding that Interest Payment Date. This period is referred to as an “Interest Period.” The first Interest

 The interest rate on this Security that will apply during an Interest
Period will be as follows:

ending May 18, 2019
		 	2.00% per annum

		 	4.00% per annum	  
	 Commencing May 19, 2022 and

ending May 18, 2023
		 	5.50% per annum	  

 Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to
the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

Payment of interest on this Security will be made in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of
the Company, payment of interest may be paid by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s last address as it appears in the Security Register or by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated by such Person.
Payment of principal of and interest on this Security at Maturity will be made against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for so long as this Security is a Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary, payments of principal and interest on this Security will be made to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 

This Security is redeemable at the option of the Company at any time on or after May 19, 2019, in whole or in part, on
any Interest Payment Date at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Security to be redeemed, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 5
but not more than 30 days before the applicable Redemption Date to the Holder hereof. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on or after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on this Security or the portion
hereof called for redemption.

repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to May 19, 2023. This Security may be subject to repayment if requested by an authorized representative of a beneficial owner of this Security as described on the reverse hereof. This Security
is not entitled to any sinking fund. 
 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.

 [Reverse of Note] 

WELLS FARGO & COMPANY 

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K 

Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 

Notes due May 19, 2023 

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 time Outstanding of all series to be affected, acting together as a class. The Indenture also contains 

  
 5 

 
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. 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 

Section 403 and Article Fifteen of the Indenture and the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 401(1)(B) of the
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. 
 Authorized
Denominations 
 This Security is issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any
amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. 
 Repayment upon Exercise of Survivor’s Option 

The Company has agreed to repay beneficial ownership interests in this Security, if requested by the authorized representative
of the beneficial owner of such beneficial ownership interest following the death of the beneficial owner, so long as the beneficial ownership interest in this Security was acquired by the beneficial owner at least six months prior to the request
(the “Survivor’s Option”). 
 Upon the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option and the proper
tender of a beneficial ownership interest in this Security for repayment, the Company will repay such beneficial ownership interest in this Security, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the deceased beneficial
owner’s beneficial interest in this Security, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repayment. 
 To be
valid, the Survivor’s Option must be exercised by or on behalf of the Person who has authority to act on behalf of a deceased beneficial owner of this Security under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the
personal representative of or the executor of the estate of the deceased beneficial owner or the surviving joint owner with the deceased beneficial owner). 

A beneficial owner of this Security is a Person who has the right, immediately prior to such Person’s death, to receive
the proceeds from the disposition of such beneficial owner’s interest in this Security, as well as the right to receive the principal amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s interest in this Security plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon. 

  
 6 

 The death of a Person holding a beneficial ownership interest in this Security as
a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety with another Person, or as a tenant in common with the deceased holder’s spouse, will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of that beneficial ownership interest in this Security, and the entire
principal amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s interest in this Security held in this manner will be subject to repayment by the Company upon exercise of the Survivor’s Option. However, the death of a Person holding a beneficial
ownership interest in this Security as tenant in common with a Person other than such deceased holder’s spouse will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner only with respect to such deceased Person’s interest in this Security, and only
the deceased beneficial owner’s percentage interest in that beneficial ownership interest in the principal amount of this Security will be subject to repayment. 

The death of a Person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership interests
in this Security will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of this Security for purposes of the Survivor’s Option, regardless of whether that beneficial owner was the registered holder of this Security, if the beneficial ownership
interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent. A beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act,
community property, or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife. In addition, the beneficial ownership interest in this Security will be deemed to exist in custodial and trust arrangements where one Person has all of the
beneficial ownership interest in this Security during his or her lifetime. In the case of a joint trust, the joint tenant rules above will apply to the respective beneficial ownership interests. 

The Company has the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of this Security as to which exercises of the
Survivor’s Option will be accepted by the Company in any calendar year to an amount equal to the greater of $2,500,000 or 2.5% of the principal amount of this Security outstanding as of the end of the most recent calendar year. The Company also
has the discretionary right to limit the aggregate amount of this Security as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option will be accepted by the Company from the authorized representative for any individual deceased beneficial owner of this
Security in any calendar year to an amount equal to $300,000. In addition, the Company will not permit the exercise of the Survivor’s Option for any portion of this Security with a principal amount of less than $1,000, and the Company will not
permit the exercise of the Survivor’s Option if such exercise will result in this Security having a principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000. 

An otherwise valid election to exercise the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn. An election to exercise the
Survivor’s Option will be accepted in the order that it was received by the Paying Agent, except for any beneficial ownership interest in this Security the acceptance of which would contravene the limitations described above. Beneficial
ownership interests in this Security accepted for repayment through the exercise of the Survivor’s Option normally will be repaid on the first Interest Payment Date that occurs 10 or more calendar days after the date of the acceptance. Each
tendered beneficial ownership interest in this Security that is not accepted in a calendar year due to the application of the limitations described in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order
in which all such beneficial interests were originally tendered. If a beneficial ownership interest in this Security tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not accepted, the Paying Agent will

  
 7 

 
deliver a notice by first-class mail to the registered holder, at that registered holder’s last known address as indicated in the Security Register, that states the reason that the
beneficial ownership interest in this Security has not been accepted for repayment. 
 Since this Security is a Global
Security, DTC, as depository, or its nominee will be treated as the holder of this Security and will be the only entity that can exercise the Survivor’s Option. To obtain repayment of this Security pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s
Option, the deceased beneficial owner’s authorized representative must provide the following items to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in this Security is held by the deceased beneficial owner: 

 

	 	●	 	 appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent that: 

 

	 	(a)	 the deceased was a beneficial owner of this Security at the time of death and his or her interest in this Security was acquired by the deceased
beneficial owner at least six months prior to the request for repayment, 

  

	 	(b)	 the death of the beneficial owner has occurred and the date of death, and 

 

	 	(c)	 the representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner; 

 

	 	●	 	 if the beneficial interest in this Security is held by a nominee or trustee of, or custodian for, or other Person in a similar capacity to, the
deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Paying Agent from the nominee, trustee, custodian or similar Person attesting to the deceased’s beneficial ownership in this Security; 

 

	 	●	 	 a written request for repayment signed by the authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner with the signature guaranteed by a member
firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States; 

 

	 	●	 	 if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement; 

 

	 	●	 	 tax waivers and any other instruments or documents that the Paying Agent reasonably requires in order to establish the validity of the beneficial
ownership in this Security and the claimant’s entitlement to payment; and 

  

	 	●	 	 any additional information the Paying Agent requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of the Survivor’s Option or to
document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause the repayment of this Security. 

 In turn,
the broker or other entity will deliver each of these items to the Paying Agent and will certify to the Paying Agent that the broker or other entity represents the deceased beneficial owner.
