Investment description

 

  Linked to the S&P 500® Index

 

  Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest, do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity and are subject to potential automatic call upon the terms described below. Any return you receive on the securities and whether they are automatically called will depend on the performance of the Index

 

  Automatic Call. If the closing level of the Index on any call date is greater than or equal to the starting level, the securities will be automatically called, and on the related call settlement date, you will receive the original offering price plus the call premium applicable to that call date

 

Call Date    Call Premium
June 5, 2017    6.50% of the original offering price
June 4, 2018    13.00% of the original offering price
May 24, 2019 (the “final calculation day”)    19.50% of the original offering price

 

  Payment at Maturity. If the securities are not automatically called prior to the final calculation day, the payment at maturity will be based upon the closing level of the Index on the final calculation day and could be greater than, equal to or less than the original offering price per security as follows:

o If the level of the Index increases:

The securities will be automatically called for the original offering price plus the call premium applicable to the final calculation day described above

o If the level of the Index decreases but the decrease is not more than 10%:

You will be repaid the original offering price

o If the level of the Index decreases by more than 10%:

You will receive less than the original offering price and will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Index in excess of 10%

 

  Investors may lose up to 90% of the original offering price

 

  Any positive return on the securities will be limited to the applicable call premium

 

  All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Wells Fargo & Company, and you will have no ability to pursue any securities included in the Index for payment; if Wells Fargo & Company defaults on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment

 

  No periodic interest payments or dividends

 

  No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity
 

On the date of the accompanying pricing supplement, the estimated value of the securities is $954.20 per security. The estimated value of the securities was determined for the issuer by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC using its proprietary pricing models. It is not an indication of actual profit to the issuer or to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or any of the issuer’s other affiliates, nor is it an indication of the price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or any other person may be willing to buy the securities from you at any time after issuance. See “Investment Description” in the accompanying pricing supplement.

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” in this term sheet and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying pricing supplement.

 

 

This final term sheet should be read in conjunction with the accompanying pricing supplement, market measure supplement, prospectus supplement, and prospectus.

NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FDIC OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY


Hypothetical payout profile

 

The profile to the right illustrates the potential payment on the securities for a range of hypothetical percentage changes in the closing level of the Index from the pricing date to the applicable call date (including the final calculation day). The profile is based on a call premium of 6.50% for the first call date, 13.00% for the second call date, and 19.50% for the final call date and a threshold level equal to 90% of the starting level.

 

This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on (i) whether the securities are automatically called; (ii) if the securities are automatically called, the actual call date on which the securities are called; (iii) if the securities are not automatically called, the actual ending level; and (iv) whether you hold your securities to the call settlement date or maturity.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The actual amount you receive upon automatic call or at stated maturity and the resulting pre-tax rate of return will depend on (i) whether the securities are automatically called; (ii) if the securities are automatically called, the actual call premium and the actual call date on which the securities are called; and (iii) if the securities are not automatically called, the actual ending level.

Call Dates and Call Premiums

 

Call Date    Call Premium    Payment per Security upon
an Automatic Call
June 5, 2017    6.50% of the original offering price    $1,065.00
June 4, 2018    13.00% of the original offering price    $1,130.00
May 24, 2019 (the “final calculation day”)    19.50% of the original offering price    $1,195.00

The last call date is the final calculation day, and payment upon an automatic call on the final calculation day, if applicable, will be made on the stated maturity date.

How the payment at maturity is calculated

If the closing level of the Index is less than the starting level on each of the three call dates, the securities will not be automatically called, and on the stated maturity date you will receive a payment at maturity per security determined as follows:

 

  If the ending level is less than the starting level, but greater than or equal to the threshold level, the payment at maturity will be equal to $1,000

 

  If the ending level is less than the threshold level, the payment at maturity will be equal to $1,000 minus

 

      $1,000 ×     threshold level – ending level      
        starting level      

Any positive return on the securities will be limited to the applicable call premium, even if the closing level of the Index significantly exceeds the starting level on the applicable call date. You will not participate in any appreciation of the Index beyond the applicable call premium. If the securities are not automatically called prior to the final calculation day and the ending level is less than the threshold level, you will receive less, and possibly 90% less, than the original offering price of your securities at maturity.
