WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST

WELLS FARGO MASTER TRUST

WELLS FARGO VARIABLE TRUST

 

RESOLVED, that the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, hereby determines, with due consideration to (i) the value of the aggregate assets of the Funds to which any person may have access, (ii) the terms of the arrangements made for the custody and safekeeping of such assets, (iii) the nature of securities in the Funds, and (iv) the amount of the bond and the premium of such bond, that such bond in the aggregate amount presented at this meeting $105 million is in reasonable form and amount; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Officers be, and each hereby is, authorized and directed to determine an appropriate increase in the fidelity bond coverage, based on assets under management, during the policy, if necessary; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, after taking all relevant factors into consideration, including, but not limited to, (i) the number of other parties, (ii) the amount of the joint insured bond, (iii) the amount of the premium for such bond, (iv) the ratable allocation of the premium among all parties as insured, and (v) the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to each Fund is less than the premium it would have had to pay if it had provided and maintained a single insured bond, hereby approves the portion of the premium to be paid by each Fund, which is a pro rata portion equal to the ratio of each Fund’s net assets to the aggregate net assets of all the parties; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Officers be, and each hereby is, authorized and directed to negotiate the final terms of the joint fidelity bond, and to execute and deliver on behalf of each Trust any and all documents related thereto, in such form and with such changes (including final premium amount) as such Officer deems appropriate or advisable with advice of counsel; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Joint Fidelity Bond Allocation Agreement among Funds Trust, Master Trust and Variable Trust, which provides for an equitable and proportionate share of any recovery under the joint fidelity bond, be, and it hereby is, reapproved.

Amended and Restated

May 1, 2006

 

WHEREAS, Wells Fargo Funds Trust (“Funds Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered as such under the 1940 Act, consisting of investment portfolios as detailed in Appendix A; and

 

WHEREAS, Wells Fargo Master Trust (“Master Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered as such under the 1940 Act, consisting of investment portfolios as detailed in Appendix A; and

 

WHEREAS, Wells Fargo Variable Trust (“Variable Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered as such under the 1940 Act, consisting of investment portfolios as detailed in Appendix A; and

 

WHEREAS, Funds Trust, Master Trust and Variable Trust are required to provide and maintain a fidelity bond pursuant to Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act; and

 

WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1(b) provides that the fidelity bond may be in the form of a joint insured bond covering Funds Trust, Master Trust and Variable Trust; and

 

WHEREAS, the Trustees of Funds Trust, Master Trust and Variable Trust, including a majority of such Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) have made the required determinations required by that Rule, including those provisions specifically applicable to a joint insured bond;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Funds Trust, Master Trust and Variable Trust hereby agree as follows:

 

1.        Each of Funds Trust, Master Trust and Variable Trust will pay a portion of the premiums for the joint insured fidelity bond which is allocated pro rata according to the percentage each of their net assets bear to the aggregate net assets of all the insured parties.

 

2.        In the event recovery is received under the joint insured bond as a result of a loss sustained by two or more of the insured parties, each party shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but at least equal to the amount which such party would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.

 

2

                       This agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
