The Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the date of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, based on the Issuer’s internal pricing models, is expected to be between $941.30 and $951.10 per security. While the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date may differ from the estimated value set forth above, the Issuer does not expect it to differ significantly absent a material change in market conditions or other relevant factors. The final pricing supplement relating to the securities will set forth the Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the pricing date, which will not be less than $941.30 per security. The estimated value of the securities is not an indication of actual profit to the Issuer or to any of the Issuer’s affiliates, nor is it an indication of the price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or any other person may be willing to buy the securities from you at any time after issuance. See “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.

Investing in the securities involves significant risks. See “Selected Risk Considerations” in this term sheet and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.

This introductory term sheet does not provide all of the information that an investor should consider prior to making an investment decision.

Investors should carefully review the preliminary pricing supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus before making a decision to invest in the securities.
