By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 5 – Wells Fargo & Co. priced $858,000 of additional 0.125% optionally exchangeable notes due Feb. 21, 2020 exchangeable for a basket of common stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The $790,000 principal amount of additional notes priced at 108.72, which includes accrued interest from Feb. 23.

The original $5 million of notes priced on Feb. 13 at 110 for $5.5 million of proceeds. The total issue size is now $5.79 million for $6.36 million of proceeds.

The basket components are Schlumberger NV with a 60% weight and Halliburton Co. with a 40% weight.

Interest is payable semiannually.

Each security is exchangeable at any time for a number of shares of each basket stock equal to its exchange ratio. The issuer can settle exchanges in shares or cash.

Beginning Feb. 21, 2018, the securities will be callable at any time.

The payout at maturity or upon redemption will be the greater of par and parity, which on any day is the Schlumberger exchange ratio multiplied by its closing share price plus the Halliburton exchange ratio multiplied by its closing share price. On the reopening date, parity was $901.78.
