Explanation of Responses:
1. Shares of Wells Fargo & Company (the "Company") common stock acquired under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan.

These transfer restrictions will terminate upon the earlier of the end of the Restriction Period or the date of the reporting person's death or disability.
2. Includes 43,498 shares from vested Restricted Share Rights whose receipt has been deferred; subject to withholding for state and federal income taxes upon final delivery.
3. Reflects shares equivalent of units in the Wells Fargo ESOP Fund of 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2009, as if investable cash equivalents held by the Plan were fully invested in Wells Fargo & Company Common Stock.
