New Issue: Wells Fargo sells $3 million access securities linked to index basket

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, June 15 - Wells Fargo & Co. priced $3 million of 0% access securities due Dec. 17, 2012 based on a basket of four indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the S&P 500 index with a 40% weight, the MSCI EAFE index with a 30% weight, the Russell 2000 index with a 20% weight and the MSCI Emerging Markets index with a 10% weight.

A knock-in event occurs if the basket ever falls to or below 80% of the initial price.

If the basket finishes above its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus any gain, up to a maximum payout of $1,250 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

If the basket finishes at or below its initial price, the payout will be par unless a knock-in event occurs, in which case investors will be exposed to any losses.
