Wells Fargo Announces Transition Information for Outstanding U.S. Dollar LIBOR-Linked Instruments

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) (“Wells Fargo”) and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries have issued debt securities, certificates of deposit, trust preferred securities and preferred stock and related depositary shares that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month tenor. The instruments addressed in this press release are governed by U.S. law or the laws of a U.S. State.

Debt Securities, Certificates of Deposit and Trust Preferred Securities

Wells Fargo is issuing this press release to advise that in accordance with (i) the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act and the final rule adopted by the Federal Reserve or (ii) the terms of such instruments, as applicable, after June 30, 2023 Three-month USD LIBOR in applicable debt securities, certificates of deposit, and trust preferred securities (the “Specified Instruments”) will be replaced with the CME Term SOFR Reference Rate published for a three-month tenor plus a spread adjustment of 0.26161%. The replacement of Three-month USD LIBOR with Three-month CME Term SOFR plus the spread adjustment will be effective for determinations made under the terms of the Specified Instruments after June 30, 2023. Additional information regarding the Specified Instruments will be made available through the LIBOR Benchmark Replacement Index solution through DTCC’s Legal Notice System.

Preferred Stock and Related Depositary Shares

Each series of Wells Fargo’s Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Class A Preferred Stock is governed by the terms of a certificate of designation (each, a “Certificate”) and will not transition to Three-month CME Term SOFR by operation of law or otherwise. The Certificate for each series specifically defines Three-month LIBOR to be a set rate (the “Set Rate”), as shown for each series in the table below, for a dividend period beginning on the date (the “Commencement Date”), as shown for each series in the table below, if Three-month LIBOR cannot otherwise be determined as provided in the applicable Certificate. In accordance with this definition of Three-month LIBOR, the dividend rate that will apply to any dividend payment date occurring after the applicable Commencement Date will be an annual rate equal to the Set Rate + the spread set forth in the Certificate for each series.
