By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., March 24 – Wells Fargo & Co. priced $5.23 million of 0.125% equity basket-linked notes due March 29, 2021 linked to a basket of stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes Celgene Corp. with a 40% weight, Amgen Inc. with a 20% weight, Gilead Sciences, Inc. with a 20% weight and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. with a 20% weight.

The notes, each with a principal amount of $1,000, were priced at $1,100 each for total proceeds of $5,747,500.

Interest will be payable semiannually.

The notes are callable at any time beginning on March 29, 2019.

The payout upon redemption or at maturity will be the greater of par and parity.
