        <footnote id="F1">Number of shares represents a Restricted Share Right (&quot;RSR&quot;) vesting on 7/1/2013. Original grant date was 2/24/2009. This vesting represents 30% of the original amount of RSRs granted (plus dividend equivalents reinvested in additional RSRs).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Total reflects a transfer of 3,177 shares from the reporting person's direct holdings to her trust.  The transfer was not reportable under Rule 16a-13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Reflects share equivalent of units in Wells Fargo ESOP Fund of 401(k) Plan as of June 28, 2013, as if investable cash equivalents held by Plan were fully invested in Wells Fargo &amp; Company (the &quot;Company&quot;) common stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Each RSR represents a contingent right to receive one share of Company common stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">RSRs vest in three installments:  30% on July 1, 2012, 30% on July 1, 2013, and 40% on July 1, 2014, subject to certain exceptions related to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.  As a condition to receiving the grant, the reporting person agreed to hold, while employed by the Company and for at least one year after retirement, shares of Company common stock equal to at least 50% of the after-tax shares (assuming a 50% tax rate) acquired upon vesting of the RSRs.</footnote>
