By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 2 - Wells Fargo & Co. priced $3.91 million of 0% market-linked notes due Oct. 7, 2019 linked to a basket of exchange-traded funds, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust with a 65% weight, the iShares MSCI EAFE index fund with a 25% weight and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets index fund with a 10% weight.

If the final basket level is greater than the initial basket level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the basket return. If the final basket level is less than or equal to the initial basket level, the payout will be par.

The initial basket level will be 100. The final basket level will be 100 plus an amount equal to one plus the sum of (a) 65% of the return of the SPDR S&P 500, (b) 25% of the return of the iShares MSCI EAFE and (c) 10% of the return of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets.

When calculating a basket component's return, its final share price will be the average of its closing share prices on the last trading day of each March, June, September and December from December 2012 through September 2019.

Wells Fargo Securities LLC is the agent.
