Wells Fargo Common Stock Offering Raises $12.25 Billion through offer of 489.9 million shares

SAN FRANCISCO: Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) said today that underwriters in Wells Fargo's public offering of 426 million shares of common stock have fully exercised their option to purchase an additional 63.9 million shares. This represents 15 percent of the shares purchased in the original offering.

The combination of the original offering of 426 million shares of common stock plus the additional 63.9 million shares results in a total offering of 489.9 million shares of common stock valued at $12.25 billion.

"We are very pleased with the positive reception for this equity offering, and we appreciate the confidence investors have demonstrated in Wells Fargo's strength and future prospects," said Wells Fargo Chief Financial Officer Howard Atkins.

Under terms of the TARP redemption agreement approved by U.S. banking regulators, this increase in size eliminates the requirement to execute asset sales to generate $1.5 billion in equity.

The offering is expected to be complete and proceeds received December 18, 2009. The original offering was announced December 14 and priced December 15. Wells Fargo will use the proceeds of this offering to redeem its series D preferred stock from the U.S. Treasury for $25 billion, repaying in full the government's TARP investment.

Wells Fargo Securities and Goldman Sachs & Co. are acting as lead underwriters for the offering.

Copies of the registration statement (including the base prospectus), the prospectus supplement and other documents Wells Fargo has filed with the SEC containing more complete information about Wells Fargo and the offering are available for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, Wells Fargo, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send investors the prospectus if requested by contacting Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, 375 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10152-4077, toll-free telephone: 1-800- 326-5897, or by emailing equity.syndicate@wachovia.com or Goldman, Sachs & Co., Prospectus Department, 85 Broad Street, New York, NY 10004, toll-free telephone: 1-866-471-2526, facsimile: 1-212-902-9316, or by emailing prospectus-ny@ny.email.gs.com.
