New Issue: Wells Fargo prices another $1.85 million 8% equity-linked securities tied to Lennar

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Feb. 4 - Wells Fargo & Co. priced a further $1,850,340 of 8% equity-linked securities due June 20, 2014 linked to the common stock of Lennar Corp., adding to the original $28,495,236 priced on June 27, 2013, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

The face amount of each security is equal to the initial share price.

The payout at maturity will be, at the issuer's option, a number of Lennar shares equal to the settlement amount divided by the final share price or an amount in cash equal to the settlement amount.

If the final share price is greater than the upside participation threshold, the settlement amount will be par plus (a) the 65% upside participation rate multiplied by the result of (b) the final share price minus the $43.2054 upside participation threshold. The upside participation threshold will be greater than the initial share price, and the upside participation rate will be less than 100%.

If the final share price is greater than or equal to the principal return threshold and less than or equal to the upside participation threshold, the settlement amount will be par. The $41.2626 principal return threshold is greater than the initial share price but less than the upside participation threshold.

If the final share price is less than the principal return threshold, the settlement amount will be the 0.8969 downside exchange ratio multiplied by the final share price, provided that the payout will not be less than the $26.5531 minimum repayment amount. The downside exchange ratio is the initial share price divided by the principal return threshold.
