By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., April 2 - Wells Fargo & Co. priced $1.82 million of 0% market-linked securities with leveraged upside participation to a cap and fixed percentage buffered downside due Oct. 6, 2017 linked to a basket of unequally weighted exchange-traded funds, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket components are the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust with a 50% weight, iShares Russell 2000 ETF with a 20% weight, iShares MSCI EAFE ETF with a 15% weight and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF with a 15% weight.

If the basket return is positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus 150% of the gain, subject to a maximum return of 35%.

Investors will receive par if the basket decreases by up to 10% and will lose 1% for every 1% drop beyond the 10% buffer.
