I.Purpose of the Plan

The Wells Fargo Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) is a discretionary annual incentive plan focused on appropriate risk management, employee performance and business outcomes and is aligned with Wells Fargo’s compensation principles: Pay for performance; Promote effective risk management; Attract and retain talent.

Awards paid out under the Plan, are not included when calculating any benefits based on salary. Awards are also not a component of salary due to the Participant at the end of the Participant’s employment with Wells Fargo. An Award under this Plan is not guaranteed, and payment of an Award for one Plan Year does not guarantee the payment of an Award in any subsequent Plan Year. In addition, Awards may be eliminated or reduced at the discretion of Wells Fargo, regardless of Participant eligibility or target award opportunity.

The Country Appendix included in this document addresses regulatory or country-specific requirements. To the extent a Participant works for a Wells Fargo entity in a jurisdiction covered by the Country Appendix, or otherwise is subject to additional remuneration requirements in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations, the provisions described in the Country Appendix or any supplemental document referred to therein shall govern the application of the applicable Plan provisions to the Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, references to “Country Appendix” in this Plan include supplemental documents referred to in the Country Appendix.

C.Employment Status

a.US Participants
A US Participant must be employed by Wells Fargo as of the Award Payment Date, in order to be eligible to be considered for an Award under the Plan, unless otherwise noted below.

i.Exceptions
Exceptions may be made if the Participant’s employment terminated prior to the Award Payment Date as a result of the Participant’s Retirement, death, a Corporate Transaction, or Displacement as set forth in Section VII .

ii.STAR Assignments
A US Participant on a STAR Assignment is eligible for pro-rated Award consideration provided their former job was Plan-eligible and Award Qualifiers and Service Requirements are met. The Award opportunity is based on the former job target as defined and duration of the Plan Year that the employee was in an eligible role and not during the STAR Assignment timeframe. The time in the STAR Assignment job does not apply to the determination of the opportunity target.

b.International Participants
An International Participant must be employed by Wells Fargo, and not serving out a period of notice either given by Wells Fargo or the Participant as of the Award Payment Date, in order to be eligible to be considered for an Award under the Plan, unless otherwise noted below.

i.Exceptions
Exceptions may be made if the Participant’s employment terminated prior to the Award Payment Date because of a “good leaver event” as set forth in Section VII (Employment Changes) (or, where applicable, Country Appendix) or death, despite the Participant not being employed on the Award Payment Date or serving out a period of notice.

D.Award Qualifiers

To be eligible for an Award under this Plan, the Participant is expected to meet the following Award qualifiers. Failure to meet one or more qualifiers may result in a reduction or elimination of Award opportunity.

a.Risk Management
A Participant is expected to effectively manage all risk associated with their position as set forth in Wells Fargo’s Risk Management Accountability Policy, including, but not limited to, compliance, model, operational, credit, interest rate, liquidity, reputation and strategic, as applicable.

b.Policy, Law and Regulatory Compliance
A Participant is expected to comply with all Applicable Laws and Policies including, but not limited to Wells Fargo’s employment policies, Work Rules, Standing Orders, Internal Labor Regulations, and/or Company Regulations (or documents with a similar purpose and intent, however named)1.





1 If a Participant has a question about the policies and procedures applicable to his/her role, the Participant should promptly contact his/her manager to understand where the Participant can find his/her group’s policies and procedures.

9    Wells Fargo Bonus Plan



c.Conduct
A Participant is expected to adhere to ethical and honest business practices. Violation of the terms or the spirit of the Plan and/or Wells Fargo’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, or other Applicable Laws and Policies, by the Participant, or Misconduct, are grounds for disciplinary action, including disqualification from participation in the Plan (including Awards payable under the terms of the Plan) and/or immediate termination of employment.

Conduct-related disciplinary or corrective action (such as a final notice or formal warning) will be considered in the evaluation of a Participant’s Award opportunity and, if warranted, will result in the Award being adjusted or denied. Other disciplinary or corrective action may also result in an adjustment or denial of a Participant’s Award opportunity, as warranted. Additional performance adjustment and/or forfeitures may be made to any deferred Awards. A Participant, who violates the spirit of the Plan by engaging in inappropriate behavior to receive incentive compensation under this Plan or increase their opportunity for incentive compensation under this Plan, as determined by the Plan Administrator, becomes immediately ineligible to participate in the Plan.

V.Awards
Awards under the Plan are made in the sole and absolute discretion of Wells Fargo and the Plan Administrator, with recommendations from business unit managers and approvals from senior management. There is no guarantee that an incentive of any amount will be awarded to any Participant.

A.Incentive Opportunity
a.Incentive Targets
i.Incentive targets are generally represented as a percentage of a Participant’s base salary. The minimum award opportunity is always zero.
ii.Incentive targets are defined by role and are subject to change at any time at the Company’s sole discretion.
iii.Exceptions to the defined target are only permitted with final approval of the Operating Committee Member for the Participant’s line of business and the Compensation Leader for the Participant’s line of business.

a.Pro-ration of Incentive Target
Under circumstances in which pro-ration is applied to the incentive target, it is determined based on the number of calendar months the Participant worked in an eligible role during the Plan Year. A calendar month is credited when one of two things occur:

Participant works from the 1st through the 15th of month; or
Participant starts on or before the 15th of a month and works through the end of the month.


B.Award Recommendation

The Participant’s manager is responsible for determining whether the Participant has met the Award Qualifiers and other terms of the Plan, prior to providing an incentive recommendation. The incentive recommendation should be primarily based on an evaluation of the performance of the Participant and in consideration of the performance of the line of business and the Company.


10    Wells Fargo Bonus Plan



C.Approvals

Award recommendations are subject to review and approval through the management hierarchy. Management may modify or deny the initial recommendation. Operating Committee Members must approve the aggregate value of Awards for that business upon the conclusion of the annual review cycle performed by the Participant’s line of business. Awards for Executive Officers are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors, HRC, or Wells Fargo Chief Executive Officer as required by charter and policy.

Individual Participant Award corrections and any changes resulting from the dispute review process that occur at a later date may be approved solely by the Head of Total Rewards Governance, Compensation Design & Delivery with the exception of those for Participants that are under the governance of the Board of Directors, HRC, or Wells Fargo Chief Executive Officer.

a.Without limiting the discretion of Wells Fargo or the Plan Administrator, a Participant’s incentive recommendation that is over 150% of target is subject to the Participant’s Award being approved by the Operating Committee Member for the Participant’s line of business and the Plan Administrator.
b.Notwithstanding the foregoing, Awards to Executive Officers are subject to the approval of the HRC.

VI.Award payment

A.Timing

a.US Participants
Awards for US Participants will be paid no later than two and one-half months into the calendar year following the end of the Plan Year.

b.International Participants
Awards for International Participants will be paid no later than the regularly scheduled payroll for the month of March of the calendar year following the end of the Plan Year, unless otherwise specified in the Country Appendix covering the Participant.

The determination of a Participant’s eligibility for, and payment of, an Award may be delayed if there is a formal investigation or review of the Participant’s conduct in progress on the Award Payment Date, the outcome of which may be dispositive of whether the Participant has met the Award Qualifiers, until such time that a decision that the Participant has met the Award Qualifiers and a final evaluation of the Participant’s performance is made.

i.Delivery

Awards may be paid in the form of short-term cash or long-term Awards (cash or equity), or a combination thereof, at the HRC’s discretion, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, or as required by applicable law, regulation or guidance. To the extent all or a portion of an Award is paid in the form of an equity-based Award under the LTICP, the equity-based Award is subject to the approval of and to terms and conditions as approved by the HRC in accordance with the provisions of the LTICP and as reflected in the applicable Award agreement. To the extent all or a portion of an Award is paid in the form of long-term cash, it will be provided under the LTCAP, subject to such terms and conditions of the appropriate LTCAP and as reflected in the applicable Award agreement.

11    Wells Fargo Bonus Plan



For International Participants, any cash Awards are determined and paid in local currency unless determined otherwise by the Company in its discretion. The exchange rate conversion to local currency will be determined at the complete discretion of Wells Fargo.

VII.Employment changes

A.Leaves of absence

If a Participant goes on a leave of absence (“Leave”) during the Plan Year and does not terminate their employment prior to the Award Payment Date, they may be considered for an Award.

When determining the Award for a Participant who is or was on leave during the Plan Year, the manager should take into consideration the Participant’s achievements and contributions to the team and business over the Performance Period.

B.Changes in employment status

a.Transfers
The following applies for a Participant who transitions between eligible and not eligible roles under the Plan. This applies to both non-eligible jobs and jobs that are eligible for other incentive plans.
The Participant must meet the criteria set forth in Section IV; and
The incentive target opportunity is pro-rated based on the number of calendar months the Participant was in the Plan-eligible role.
The following applies for a Participant who transitions between two or more eligible roles under the Plan:
The Participant must meet the criteria set forth in Section IV; and
The Participant’s incentive target opportunity would be reflective of the Incentive Targets for each eligible role and pro-rated based on time spent in each role.
In any situation in which the role transition involves a change in reporting manager, the current manager is responsible for making the Award recommendation and should consult with the former manager on the recommendation whenever possible.
b.Terminations – US Participants
A Participant whose employment is terminated prior to the Award Payment Date is not eligible to participate in the Plan, unless otherwise noted below. Other eligibility and service requirements as set forth in Section IV unrelated to employment status on Award Payment Date must be met. Award recommendations for a Participant whose employment is terminated under the following events will follow the normal course of payment timing and be based on Plan funding, target opportunity and pro-rated by the number of months worked during the Plan Year prior to termination.
i.Retirement
A Participant who retires prior to the Award Payment Date may be considered for an Award.
12    Wells Fargo Bonus Plan




ii.Displacements
A Participant who receives notice of a qualifying event under the Wells Fargo & Company Salary Continuation Pay Plan (“SCP Plan”) and whose position is eliminated prior to the Award Payment Date, may be considered for an Award. The Notice Period (as defined by the SCP Plan) is applied to the determination of both the Service Requirement and pro-ration calculation. The non-working portion of the Notice Period may not be considered to satisfy the “actively at work” requirement.

iii.Corporate Transactions
In the event of an involuntary termination due to a Corporate Transaction prior to the Award Payment Date, a Participant may be considered for an Award.

iv.Death
In the event of a Participant’s death, prior to the Award Payment Date, the Participant may be considered for an Award.
c.Terminations - International Participants

If a Participant is serving out a notice period (whether given by Wells Fargo or the Participant for any reason whatsoever) on the Award Payment Date or is otherwise no longer employed on the Award Payment Date, the Participant shall not be eligible to be considered for an Award.
However, if the reason for the Participant’s cessation of employment is a “Good Leaver Event”, then despite the Participant not being employed on the Award Payment Date, or serving out a period of notice, the Participant may be considered for a pro-rated Award.
i.“Good Leaver Events”
A “Good Leaver Event” means that the Participant has ceased to be an employee of Wells Fargo or an affiliate by reason of:

1.retirement – unless otherwise specified in the applicable Country Appendix, for purposes of participation in the Plan, a Participant is considered “retired” if the termination is entered in the HR system of record as a retirement;

2.injury, ill-health or disability causing the Participant to be absent from work for a period of 182 days (whether or not consecutive) in any period of twelve (12) months;

3.the Participant’s office or employment, by virtue of which the Participant is eligible for an Award, being transferred to a person or entity that is not an affiliated company of Wells Fargo; or

4.redundancy (i.e., where Wells Fargo or an affiliated company has determined that the Participant’s position or role shall be discontinued and is expressly dismissed by reason of redundancy. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant is not redundant if, in the view of Wells Fargo or the affiliated company, s/he has been offered reasonable alternative employment or if their employment is terminated without Cause in circumstances other than the discontinuance of the Participant’s position or role).

A Participant whose employment ends due to Cause, or where one of the reasons for the end of employment falls within the definition of Cause, shall not qualify for a Good Leaver Event.




13    Wells Fargo Bonus Plan




A Participant may be asked to furnish evidence to support a finding that there is a Good Leaver Event in respect of the Participant.
In addition to the Award Qualifiers identified in Section IV, Part D, a Participant will also be required (as a condition of Good Leaver Event treatment) to sign a release of all claims on terms acceptable to their Employer following termination of employment in order to be eligible for any Award under the Plan following the effective date of termination.

For the avoidance of doubt, this provision on Good Leaver Events does not give rise to any contractual right to receive an Award.

ii.Corporate Transactions
In the event of an involuntary termination due to a Corporate Transaction during the Plan Year or prior to the Award Payment Date, a Participant may be considered for an Award.

iii.Death
In the event of a Participant’s death, the Participant may be considered for an Award. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not give rise to any contractual right to receive an Award.
VIII.Plan administration

A.Plan Administrator

The Plan Administrator has full discretionary authority to administer and interpret the Plan and may, at any time, delegate to personnel of Wells Fargo such responsibilities as it considers appropriate to facilitate the day-to-day administration of the Plan. Except with respect to Executive Officers, the Plan Administrator’s authority includes approving, denying or adjusting a Participant’s Award amount, Award opportunity or Award recommendation and approving special discretionary payments for Participants who do not meet Service Requirement or Employment Status eligibility terms. The Plan Administrator will consult with such control function partners as appropriate prior to taking any action impacting a Plan Participant.

The HRC has the authority to make any and all decisions with respect to Awards under the Plan (including special discretionary payments) to Executive Officers.

Plan commitments or interpretations (oral or written) by anyone other than the Plan Administrator, the HRC, or a delegate appointed by either the Plan Administrator or HRC, are invalid and will have no force or effect upon the policies and procedures set forth in this Plan.

In the event of any conflict between the Plan and oral or written communications, summaries, or overviews of, the Plan, the specific terms of this Plan or any official amendments to this Plan will control.

B.Payments subject to Applicable Laws and Policies

The determination and payment of any Award under the Plan is subject to the conditions and restrictions imposed under any applicable law, rules and regulations. A Participant’s rights to or receipt of compensation under the Plan may be limited, modified, delayed, cancelled or recovered to ensure compliance with all such applicable laws, rules, regulations and guidance that may be issued from time to time.


14    Wells Fargo Bonus Plan




C.Disputes

If a Participant has a dispute regarding their Award under the Plan:

a.A US Participant should attempt to resolve the dispute with the manager of their business unit. If this is not successful, the Participant should prepare a written request for review addressed to Compensation Delivery. The request for review should include any facts supporting the Participant’s request as well as any issues or comments the Participant deems pertinent. Written requests may be submitted via email to: compensationdelivery@wellsfargo.com

Compensation Delivery sends a written response documenting the outcome of this review to the Participant no later than 60 days following the date of the Participant’s written request. (If additional time is necessary, the Participant will be notified in writing.) The determination of this request will be final and conclusive upon all persons.

b.An International Participant should attempt to resolve the dispute with the manager of their business unit. If this is not successful, the Participant should refer to the local grievance or dispute resolution procedure applicable to other employment-related grievances at the Participant’s work location. If a formal grievance or dispute resolution procedure does not exist at the Participant’s work location, the Participant should prepare a written request for review addressed to the Participant’s Human Resources representative and the Plan Administrator within 60 days following the date on which the Award was paid (or would have been paid under the terms of the Plan). The request for review should include any facts supporting the Participant’s request as well as any issues or comments the Participant deems pertinent. The Plan Administrator, or his/her delegate, sends a written response documenting the outcome of this review to the Participant no later than 60 days following the date of the Participant’s written request. (If additional time is necessary, the Participant will be notified in writing.) The determination of this request will be final and conclusive upon all persons.


D.Overpayments

In the event a Participant is overpaid an Award, the amount not Earned may be recouped by Wells Fargo, subject to Applicable Laws and Policies. In the case of termination of employment, the Participant is expected to promptly repay Wells Fargo the portion of the Award amount that was paid but not Earned.

E.Clawbacks
All Awards granted under this Plan shall be subject to any applicable reduction, recoupment, cancellation, malus or clawback policies, practices or provisions of the Company and its Affiliates, as in effect from time to time, and any applicable reduction, recoupment, cancellation, malus or clawback requirements imposed under Applicable Laws and Policies.


F.No Employment Right

Neither the action of Wells Fargo in establishing or maintaining the Plan, nor any provision of the Plan itself, shall be construed so as to grant any person contractual rights with respect to his or her employment or continued employment (or if applicable, additional contractual rights).

a.US Participants: The Plan is not an employment contract and participation in the Plan does not alter a Participant’s at-will employment relationship with Wells Fargo. Both the Participant and Wells Fargo
15    Wells Fargo Bonus Plan



are free to terminate the US Participant’s employment relationship at any time for any reason. No rights in the Plan may be claimed by any person whether or not he/she is selected to participate in the Plan.

b.International Participants: Despite participation in the Plan, a Participant’s employment relationship with Wells Fargo may be terminated at any time in accordance with the Participant’s employment contract, applicable policies and rules at the Participant’s work location, and subject to applicable law. The Plan does not form part of a Participant’s contract of employment, unless otherwise required by applicable laws.

No person shall acquire any right to an accounting audit or to examine the books or the affairs of Wells Fargo.

G.Amendment or termination of the Plan
The Board of Directors of Wells Fargo & Company or the HRC may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any incentive opportunity or Award recommendation at any time, for any reason. The Plan Administrator may amend the Plan to the extent consistent with its authority to administer Plan under Section VIII, A, including to revise any country-specific Appendix to comply with the laws governing the jurisdiction under which a Participant subject to such Appendix is located. The Plan Administrator will consult with such control function partners as appropriate in connection with any such amendment.

H.Assignment

No Participant has any right or power to pledge or assign any rights, privileges, or Awards provided for under the Plan unless the Plan provides that Awards may be allocated to certain eligible recipients.

I.Unsecured Obligations

Awards under the Plan are unsecured obligations of the Company.

J.Validity

In case any provision of this Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity of that provision will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan. Instead, this Plan will be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

K.Withholding Taxes and Deductions

Wells Fargo shall deduct from all payments under the Plan an amount necessary to satisfy the relevant statutory deductions for income tax, pension and social insurance and/or other applicable statutory pension and/or special/labor insurance contribution deductions required to be taken under the law of the jurisdiction governing the Participant; provided however, the Participant is responsible for appropriate reporting and remittance of taxes and other statutory contributions in relation to incentive payments under this Plan where required in their locations.

L.Governing Language

To the extent that this Plan or any other document related to this Plan is made available in local language and English versions for any jurisdiction, should there be any difference in interpretation, the English version will prevail and the relevant local language version shall be deemed to be automatically amended to conform with, and to make the relevant local language version consistent with, the English version.

M.Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The Plan shall be construed, administered and governed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction governing the Participant. If any provision of this Plan shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect.

N.IRS Section 409A for Participants on US-Based Payroll

To the extent that an Award is paid in cash under the Plan no later than two and one-half months following the end of the Plan Year, Wells Fargo intends such Award to qualify as a short-term deferral exempt from the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. If, however, it is administratively impracticable to pay an Award within two and one-half months following the end of the Plan Year (generally March 15th) or a payment is delayed due to an unforeseeable event, payment will be made as soon as administratively possible but in no event later than the end of such calendar year. In the event an Award payable under the Plan does not qualify for treatment as an exempt short-term deferral, such amount will be paid in a manner that will satisfy the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder.
