Market Linked Securities-Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023
¨ Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF (the "Fund")
¨ Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities provide for a payment at maturity that may be greater than, equal to or less than the principal amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the Fund from its Initial Price to its Final Price. The payment at maturity will reflect the following terms:
¨ If the price of the Fund increases, you will receive the principal amount plus 150% participation in the upside performance of the Fund, subject to a maximum return at maturity of 18% of the principal amount
¨ If the price of the Fund does not change or decreases but the decrease is not more than 12.50%, you will be repaid the principal amount
¨ If the price of the Fund decreases by more than 12.50%, you will receive less than the principal amount and have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the price of the Fund in excess of 12.50%
¨ Investors may lose up to 87.50% of the principal amount
¨ All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and you will have no ability to pursue the Fund or any securities held by the Fund for payment; if Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce defaults on its obligations, you could lose all or some of your investment
¨ No periodic interest payments or dividends
¨ No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page PRS-8 herein and beginning on page S-1 of the accompanying underlying supplement, page S-1 of the prospectus supplement and page 1 of the prospectus.

The securities are unsecured obligations of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and all payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The securities will not constitute deposits insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency or instrumentality of Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction. The securities are not bail-inable debt securities (as defined on page 6 of the prospectus).

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state or provincial securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this pricing supplement or the accompanying underlying supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Market Linked Securities- Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023

INVESTOR CONSIDERATIONS

The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:

· seek 150% leveraged exposure to any upside performance of the Fund if the Final Price is greater than the Initial Price, subject to the maximum return at maturity of 18% of the principal amount;
· desire to limit downside exposure to the Fund through the 12.50% buffer;
· understand that if the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by more than 12.50%, they will receive at maturity less, and up to 87.50% less, than the principal amount per security;
· are willing to forgo periodic interest payments on the securities and dividends on shares of the Fund; and
· are willing to hold the securities until maturity.

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:

· seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;
· are unwilling to accept the risk that the Final Price of the Fund may decrease by more than 12.50% from the Initial Price;
· seek uncapped exposure to the upside performance of the Fund;
· seek full return at maturity of the principal amount of the securities;
· are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the Pricing Date that is lower than the original offering price;
· seek current income;
· are unwilling to accept the risks associated with the Fund;
· seek exposure to the Fund but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the payment at maturity for the securities;
· are unwilling to accept the credit risk of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce to obtain exposure to the Fund generally, or to the exposure to the Fund that the securities provide specifically; or
· prefer the lower risk of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.
·

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the "Risk Factors" herein for risks related to an investment in the securities.

PRS-7

Market Linked Securities- Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023

RISK FACTORS

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities or the Fund. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-1 of the accompanying underlying supplement, page S-1 of the prospectus supplement and page 1 of the prospectus, as well as the other information contained in this pricing supplement and the accompanying underlying supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus, including the documents they incorporate by reference. As described in more detail below, the value of the securities may vary considerably before the Stated Maturity Date due to events that are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.

Risks Relating To The Structure Of The Securities

If The Final Price Is Less Than The Threshold Price, You Will Receive At Maturity Less, And Up To 87.50% Less, Than The Principal Amount Of Your Securities.

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities on the Stated Maturity Date. The Redemption Amount will depend on the direction of and percentage change in the Final Price of the Fund relative to the Initial Price and the other terms of the securities. Because the price of the Fund will be subject to market fluctuations, the Redemption Amount you receive may be more or less, and possibly significantly less, than the principal amount of your securities.

If the Final Price is less than the Threshold Price, the Redemption Amount that you receive at maturity will be reduced by an amount equal to the decline in the price of the Fund to the extent it is below the Threshold Price (expressed as a percentage of the Initial Price). The Threshold Price is 87.50% of the Initial Price. As a result, you may receive less, and up to 87.50% less, than the principal amount per security at maturity even if the price of the Fund is greater than or equal to the Initial Price or the Threshold Price at certain times during the term of the securities.

Even if the Final Price is greater than the Initial Price, the amount you receive at maturity may only be slightly greater than the principal amount, and your yield on the securities may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of CIBC or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the same Stated Maturity Date.

Your Return Will Be Limited By The Capped Value And May Be Less Than The Return On A Direct Investment In The Fund.

The opportunity to participate in the possible increases in the price of the Fund through an investment in the securities will be limited because the Redemption Amount will not exceed the Capped Value. Furthermore, the effect of the Participation Rate will be progressively reduced for all Final Prices exceeding the Final Price at which the Capped Value is reached.

No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities.

No periodic interest will be paid on the securities. However, if the securities were classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as contingent payment debt instruments rather than prepaid cash-settled derivative contracts, you would be required to accrue interest income over the term of your securities. See "Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in this pricing supplement and "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the underlying supplement.

The Stated Maturity Date Will Be Postponed If The Final Valuation Date Is Postponed.

The Final Valuation Date will be postponed if the originally scheduled Final Valuation Date is not a Trading Day or if the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing on that day. If such a postponement occurs, the Stated Maturity Date will be postponed until the later of (i) the initial Stated Maturity Date and (ii) three Business Days after the Final Valuation Date, as postponed.

Risk Relating To The Credit Risk Of CIBC

The Securities Are Subject To The Credit Risk Of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

The securities are our obligations exclusively and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any amounts payable under the securities are subject to our creditworthiness, and you will have no ability to pursue the Fund or any securities held by the Fund for payment. As a result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness and actual or anticipated decreases in our credit ratings may affect the value of the securities and, in the event we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the securities. See "Description of Senior Debt Securities-Events of Default" in the prospectus.

Market Linked Securities- Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023

Risks Relating To The Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market

Our Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Lower Than The Original Offering Price Of The Securities.

Our estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original offering price of the securities exceeds our estimated value because costs associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging the securities, are included in the original offering price of the securities. See "The Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.

Our Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values Of The Securities And May Differ From Others' Estimates.

Our estimated value of the securities was determined by reference to our internal pricing models when the terms of the securities were set. This estimated value was based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time and our assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the securities that are greater than or less than our estimated value. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On future dates, the value of the securities could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities or any other person would be willing to buy securities from you in secondary market transactions. See "The Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.

Our Estimated Value Was Not Determined By Reference To Credit Spreads For Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt.

The internal funding rate used in the determination of our estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. If we were to have used the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate had an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and could have an adverse effect on any secondary market prices of the securities. See "The Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which Wells Fargo Securities Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The Secondary Market.

The price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates may purchase the securities in the secondary market will be based on Wells Fargo Securities' proprietary pricing models and will fluctuate over the term of the securities as a result of changes in the market and other factors described in the next risk factor. Any such secondary market price for the securities will also be reduced by a bid-offer spread, which may vary depending on the aggregate principal amount of the securities to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the expected cost of unwinding any related hedging transactions. Unless the factors described in the next risk factor change significantly in your favor, any such secondary market price for the securities will likely be less than the original offering price.

If Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time up to the Issue Date or during the three-month period following the Issue Date, the secondary market price offered by Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates will be increased by an amount reflecting a portion of the costs associated with selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities that are included in the original offering price. Because this portion of the costs is not fully deducted upon issuance, any secondary market price offered by Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates during this period will be higher than it would be if it were based solely on Wells Fargo Securities' proprietary pricing models less the bid-offer spread and hedging unwind costs described above. The amount of this increase in the secondary market price will decline steadily to zero over this three-month period. If you hold the securities through an account at Wells Fargo Securities or one of its affiliates, we expect that this increase will also be reflected in the value indicated for the securities on your brokerage account statement. If you hold your securities through an account at a broker-dealer other than Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates, the value of the securities on your brokerage account statement may be different than if you held your securities at Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates.

The Value Of The Securities Prior To Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.

The value of the securities prior to maturity will be affected by the then-current price of the Fund, interest rates at that time and a number of other factors, some of which are interrelated in complex ways. The effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following factors, among others, are expected to affect the value of the securities. When we refer to the "value" of your security, we mean the value you could receive for your security if you are able to sell it in the open market before the Stated Maturity Date.

PRS-9

Market Linked Securities- Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023

· Fund Performance. The value of the securities prior to maturity will depend substantially on the then-current price of the Fund. The price at which you may be able to sell the securities before maturity may be at a discount, which could be substantial, from their principal amount, if the price of the Fund at such time is less than, equal to or not sufficiently above its Initial Price.
· Capped Value. We anticipate that the value of the securities will always be at a discount to the Capped Value.
· Interest Rates. The value of the securities may be affected by changes in the interest rates in the U.S. markets.
· Volatility Of The Fund. Volatility is the term used to describe the size and frequency of market fluctuations. The value of the securities may be affected if the volatility of the Fund changes.
· Time Remaining To Maturity. The value of the securities at any given time prior to maturity will likely be different from that which would be expected based on the then-current price of the Fund. This difference will most likely reflect a discount due to expectations and uncertainty concerning the price of the Fund during the period of time still remaining to the Stated Maturity Date. In general, as the time remaining to maturity decreases, the value of the securities will approach the amount that could be payable at maturity based on the then-current price of the Fund.
· Dividend Yields On Securities Held By The Fund. The value of the securities may be affected by the dividend yields on the Fund and the securities held by the Fund (the amount of such dividends may adversely affect the Closing Price of the shares of the Fund).
· Currency Exchange Rates. Since the Fund includes securities quoted in one or more foreign currencies and the Closing Price of the Fund is based on the U.S. dollar value of such securities, the value of the securities may be affected if the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and any such foreign currency changes.
· Our Credit Ratings, Financial Condition And Results Of Operation. Actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings, financial condition or results of operation may affect the value of the securities. However, because the return on the securities is dependent upon factors in addition to our ability to pay our obligations under the securities, such as the price of the Fund, an improvement in our credit ratings, financial condition or results of operation will not reduce the other investment risks related to the securities.

You should understand that the impact of one of the factors specified above, such as a change in interest rates, may offset some or all of any change in the value of the securities attributable to another factor, such as a change in the price of the Fund. Because numerous factors are expected to affect the value of the securities, changes in the price of the Fund may not result in a comparable change in the value of the securities.

The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop.

The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Although Wells Fargo Securities and/or its affiliates may purchase the securities from holders, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the securities. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will developfor the securities. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to sell your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities and/or its affiliates are willing to buy your securities.

If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your securities prior to maturity. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the securities to maturity.

Risks Relating To The Fund

An Investment In The Securities Is Subject To Risks Associated With Actively Managed Funds.

The Fund is actively managed. Unlike a passively managed fund, an actively managed fund does not attempt to track an index or other benchmark, and the investment decisions for an actively managed fund are instead made by its investment adviser. The investment adviser of an actively managed fund may adopt a strategy or strategies that have significantly higher risk than the indexing strategy that would have been employed by a passively managed fund. As an actively managed fund, the Fund is subject to management risk. In managing an actively managed fund, the investment adviser of a fund applies investment strategies, techniques and analyses in making investment decisions for that fund, but there can be no guarantee that these actions will produce the intended results. The

PRS-10

Market Linked Securities- Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023

ability of the Fund's investment adviser to successfully implement the Fund's investment strategy will significantly influence the price of the Fund and, consequently, the return on the securities.

An Investment In The Securities Is Subject To Risks Associated With Disruptive Innovation Companies.

The Fund's investment strategy involves exposure to companies that the investment adviser believes are capitalizing on disruptive innovation and developing technologies to displace older technologies or create new markets ("disruptive innovation companies"). However, the companies selected by the investment adviser may not in fact do so. Companies that initially develop a novel technology may not be able to capitalize on the technology. Companies that develop disruptive technologies may face political or legal attacks from competitors, industry groups or local and national governments. These companies may also be exposed to risks applicable to sectors other than the disruptive innovation theme for which they are chosen, and the securities issued by these companies may underperform the securities of other companies that are primarily focused on a particular theme. The Fund may invest in companies that do not currently derive any revenue from disruptive innovations or technologies, and there is no assurance that any company will derive any revenue from disruptive innovations or technologies in the future. A disruptive innovation or technology may constitute a small portion of any company's overall business. As a result, the success of a disruptive innovation or technology may not affect the value of the equity securities issued by that company. All these factors may adversely affect the price of the Fund and, consequently, the return on the securities.

An Investment In The Securities Is Subject To Risks Associated With Mid-Size, Small And Micro-Capitalization Stocks.

Some of the equity securities held by the Fund have been issued by mid-size, small or micro-capitalization companies. Mid-size, small and micro- capitalization companies may be less able to withstand adverse economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative to larger companies. Mid-size, small and micro-capitalization companies are less likely to pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price pressure under adverse market conditions.

An Investment In The Securities Is Subject To Risks Associated With Foreign Securities.

The Fund includes the stocks of foreign companies and you should be aware that investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve particular risks. Foreign securities markets may have less liquidity and may be more volatile than the U.S. securities markets, and market developments may affect foreign markets differently than U.S. securities markets. Direct or indirect government intervention to stabilize a foreign securities market, as well as cross-shareholdings in foreign companies, may affect trading prices and volumes in those markets. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about non-U.S. companies that are not subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and non-U.S. companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.

The prices and performance of securities of non-U.S. companies are subject to political, economic, financial, military and social factors which could negatively affect foreign securities markets, including the possibility of recent or future changes in a foreign government's economic, monetary and fiscal policies, the possible imposition of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions applicable to foreign companies or investments in foreign equity securities, the possibility of imposition of withholding taxes on dividend income, the possibility of fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies, the possibility of outbreaks of hostility or political instability and the possibility of natural disaster or adverse public health developments. Moreover, the relevant non-U.S. economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in important respects, such as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, trade surpluses or deficits, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.

The securities held by the Fund may be listed on a foreign stock exchange. A foreign stock exchange may impose trading limitations intended to prevent extreme fluctuations in individual security prices and may suspend trading in certain circumstances. These actions could limit variations in the Closing Price of the Fund which could, in turn, adversely affect the value of the securities.

The Securities Are Subject To Emerging Markets Risk.

Some of the equity securities held by the Fund have been issued by non-U.S. companies located in emerging markets countries. Therefore, the Fund are exposed to the political and economic risks of an emerging market country. In recent years, some emerging markets have undergone significant political, economic and social upheaval. Such far-reaching changes have resulted in constitutional and social tensions and, in some cases, instability and reaction against market reforms has occurred. With respect to any emerging market nation, there is the possibility of nationalization, expropriation or confiscation, political changes, government regulation and social instability. There can be no assurance that future political changes will not adversely affect the economic conditions of an emerging market nation. Political or economic instability could have an adverse effect on the performance of the securities.

Market Linked Securities- Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023

The Securities Are Subject To Currency Exchange Risk.

Because the prices of certain foreign equity securities held by the Fund are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the Closing Price of the Fund, investors will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the equity securities held by the Fund trade. Currency exchange rates may be highly volatile, particularly in relation to emerging nations' currencies. Significant changes in currency exchange rates, including changes in liquidity and prices, can occur within very short periods of time. Currency exchange rate risks include, but are not limited to, convertibility risk, market volatility and potential interference by foreign governments through regulation of local markets, foreign investment or particular transactions in foreign currency. These factors may adversely affect the values of the equity securities held by the Fund, the Closing Price of the Fund and the value of the securities.

Recent Executive Orders May Adversely Affect The Performance Of The Fund.

Pursuant to recent executive orders, U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions in, or possession of, publicly traded securities of certain companies that are determined to be linked to the People's Republic of China military, intelligence and security apparatus, or securities that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to, those securities. If the issuer of any of the equity securities held by the Fund is in the future designated as such a prohibited company, the value of that company may be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, which would adversely affect the performance of the Fund. In addition, under these circumstances, the Fund is expected to remove the equity securities of that company from the Fund. Any changes to the composition of the Fund in response to these executive orders could adversely affect the performance of the Fund.

Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating To The Shares Of The Fund Do Not Address Every Event That Could Affect Such Shares.

The Adjustment Factor, as described herein, will be used to determine the Final Price of the Fund. The Adjustment Factor will be adjusted by the calculation agent for certain events affecting the shares of the Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event that could affect such shares. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the Adjustment Factor, the value of the securities may be adversely affected.

The Performance Of The Fund May Not Correlate With The Net Asset Value Per Share Of The Fund, Especially During Periods Of Market Volatility.

Because the shares of the Fund are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market price of one share of the Fund may differ from its net asset value per share; shares of the Fund may trade at, above, or below its net asset value per share.

During periods of market volatility, securities held by the Fund may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of the Fund and the liquidity of the Fund may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of the Fund. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of the Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of the Fund may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of the Fund.

Risks Relating To Conflicts Of Interest

We Or One Of Our Affiliates Will Be The Calculation Agent And, As A Result, Potential Conflicts Of Interest Could Arise.

We or one of our affiliates will be the calculation agent for purposes of determining, among other things, the Initial Price and the Final Price, calculating the Redemption Amount, determining whether adjustments should be made to the Adjustment Factor, determining whether a market disruption event has occurred on the scheduled Final Valuation Date, which may result in postponement of the Final Valuation Date; determining the Closing Price of the Fund if the Final Valuation Date is postponed to the last day to which it may be postponed and a market disruption event occurs on that day; if publication of the Fund is discontinued, selecting a successor fund or, if no successor fund is available, determining the Fund Closing Price on the Final Valuation Date and determining whether to adjust the Fund Closing Price of the Fund on the Final Valuation Date in the event of certain changes in or modifications to the Fund. Although the calculation agent will exercise its judgment in good faith when performing its functions, potential conflicts of interest may exist between the calculation agent and you.

Our Economic Interests And Those Of Any Dealer Participating In The Offering Of Securities Will Potentially Be Adverse To Your Interests.

You should be aware of the following ways in which our economic interests and those of any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities, which we refer to as a "participating dealer," will potentially be adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. In engaging in certain of the activities described below, our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may take actions that

PRS-12

Market Linked Securities- Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023

may adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the securities. Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may realize a profit from these activities even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return on the securities.

· Research reports by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may be inconsistent with an investment in the securities and may adversely affect the price of the Fund. Our affiliates or any dealer participating in the offering of the securities or its affiliates may, at present or in the future, publish research reports on the Fund or the companies whose securities are held by the Fund. This research will be modified from time to time without notice and may, at present or in the future, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. Any research reports on the Fund or the companies whose securities are held by the Fund could adversely affect the price of the Fund and, therefore, adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities. You are encouraged to derive information concerning the Fund from multiple sources and should not rely on the views expressed by us or our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates. In addition, any research reports on the Fund or the companies whose securities are held by the Fund published on or prior to the Pricing Date could result in an increase in the price of the Fund on the Pricing Date, which would adversely affect investors in the securities by increasing the price at which the Fund must close on the Final Valuation Date in order for investors in the securities to receive a favorable return.
· Business activities of our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates with the companies whose securities are held by the Fund may adversely affect the price of the Fund. Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in business with the companies whose securities are held by the Fund, including making loans to those companies (including exercising creditors' remedies with respect to such loans), making equity investments in those companies or providing investment banking, asset management or other advisory services to those companies. These business activities could adversely affect the price of the Fund and, therefore, adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities. In addition, in the course of these business activities, our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may acquire non-public information about one or more of the companies whose securities are held by the Fund. If our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates do acquire such non-public information, we and they are not obligated to disclose such non-public information to you.
· Hedging activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the price of the Fund. We expect to hedge our obligations under the securities through one or more hedge counterparties, which may include our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates. Pursuant to such hedging activities, our hedge counterparty may acquire shares of the Fund or securities held by the Fund or listed or over-the-counter derivative or synthetic instruments related to the Fund or such securities. Depending on, among other things, future market conditions, the aggregate amount and the composition of such positions are likely to vary over time. To the extent that our hedge counterparty has a long hedge position in shares of the Fund or in any of the securities held by the Fund, or derivative or synthetic instruments related to the Fund or such securities, they may liquidate a portion of such holdings at or about the time of the Final Valuation Date or at or about the time of a change in the securities held by the Fund. These hedging activities could potentially adversely affect the price of the shares of the Fund and, therefore, adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities.
· Trading activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the price of the Fund. Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may engage in trading in shares of the Fund or the securities held by the Fund and other instruments relating to the Fund or such securities on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these trading activities could potentially adversely affect the price of the shares of the Fund and, therefore, adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities.
· A participating dealer or its affiliates may realize hedging profits projected by its proprietary pricing models in addition to any selling concession and/or any fee, creating a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the securities to you. If any participating dealer or any of its affiliates conducts hedging activities for us in connection with the securities, that participating dealer or its affiliates expect to realize a projected profit from such hedging activities, and this projected profit will be in addition to any concession or fee that the participating dealer receives for the sale of the securities to you. This additional projected profit may create a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the securities to you.

Risks Relating To Tax

The U.S. Federal Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Unclear.

There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the securities as prepaid cash-settled derivative contracts. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities might be materially and adversely affected. As described under "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the underlying supplement, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar instruments. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including the character and timing of income or loss and the degree, if any, to which income realized by non-U.S. persons should be subject to withholding tax, possibly with retroactive effect.

Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in the securities should review carefully "Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in this pricing supplement and "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the underlying supplement and consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

There Can Be No Assurance That The Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Will Not Change In The Future.

There can be no assurance that Canadian federal income tax laws, the judicial interpretation thereof, or the administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency will not be changed in a manner that adversely affects investors. For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the securities, please read the section entitled "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this pricing supplement as well as the section entitled "Material Income Tax Consequences-Canadian Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus. You should consult your tax advisor with respect to your own particular situation.

HYPOTHETICAL PAYMENTS AT MATURITY

Set forth below are four examples of payment at maturity calculations, reflecting the Participation Rate of 150%, the Capped Value of 118.00% of the principal amount or $1,180.00 per security, a hypothetical Threshold Price of $87.50 and a hypothetical Initial Price of $100.00, and assuming hypothetical Final Prices as indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent the actual Initial Price or Threshold Price. The hypothetical Initial Price of $100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Initial Price. The actual Initial Price and Threshold Price are set forth under "Terms of the Securities" above. For historical data regarding the actual Closing Prices of the Fund, see the historical information set forth under the section titled "The ARK Innovation ETF" below. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1. The Redemption Amount is greater than the principal amount but less than the Capped Value:

Hypothetical Initial Price: $100.00

Hypothetical Final Price: $105.00

Since the hypothetical Final Price is greater than the hypothetical Initial Price, the Redemption Amount would equal:

$1,000 + $1,000 x $105.00 - $100.00 x 150% = $1,075.00
$100.00

On the Stated Maturity Date, you would receive $1,075.00 per security.

Example 2. The Redemption Amount is equal to the Capped Value:

Hypothetical Initial Price: $100.00

Hypothetical Final Price: $140.00

The Redemption Amount would be equal to the Capped Value since the Capped Value is less than:

$1,000 + $1,000 x $140.00 - $100.00 x 150% = $1,600.00
$100.00

On the Stated Maturity Date, you would receive $1,180.00 per security.

In addition to limiting your return on the securities, the Capped Value limits the positive effect of the Participation Rate. If the Final Price is greater than the Initial Price, you will participate in the performance of the Fund at a rate of 150% up to a certain point. However, the effect of the Participation Rate will be progressively reduced for Final Prices that are greater than 112.00% of the Initial Price since your return on the securities for any Final Price greater than 112.00% of the Initial Price will be limited to the Capped Value.

Example 3. The Redemption Amount is equal to the principal amount:

Hypothetical Initial Price: $100.00

Hypothetical Final Price: $95.00

Hypothetical Threshold Price: $87.50, which is 87.50% of the hypothetical Initial Price

Since the hypothetical Final Price is less than the hypothetical Initial Price, but not by more than 12.50%, you would not lose any of the principal amount of your securities.

On the Stated Maturity Date, you would receive $1,000.00 per security.

PRS-16

Market Linked Securities- Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023

Example 4. The Redemption Amount is less than the principal amount:

Hypothetical Initial Price: $100.00

Hypothetical Final Price: $50.00

Hypothetical Threshold Price: $87.50, which is 87.50% of the hypothetical Initial Price

Since the hypothetical Final Price is less than the hypothetical Initial Price by more than 12.50%, you would lose a portion of the principal amount of your securities and receive the Redemption Amount equal to:

$1,000 - $1,000 x $87.50 - $50.00 = $625.00
$100.00

On the Stated Maturity Date, you would receive $625.00 per security.

To the extent that the actual Initial Price, Threshold Price and Final Price differ from the values assumed above, the results indicated above would be different.

ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE SECURITIES

The definitions and provisions below supersede and replace the relevant definitions and provisions set forth in the underlying supplement.

Certain Definitions

A "Trading Day" means a day, as determined by the calculation agent, on which the Relevant Stock Exchange and each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to the Fund or any successor thereto, if applicable, are scheduled to be open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions.

Market Disruption Events

A "market disruption event" means any of the following events as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion:

(A) The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by the Relevant Stock Exchange or otherwise relating to the shares (or other applicable securities) of the Fund or any successor fund on the Relevant Stock Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on such day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by such Relevant Stock Exchange or otherwise.
(B) The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by any Related Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise in futures or options contracts relating to the shares (or other applicable securities) of the Fund or any successor fund on any Related Futures or Options Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the Related Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise.
(C) The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, shares (or other applicable securities) of the Fund or any successor fund on the Relevant Stock Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on that day.
(D) The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, futures or options contracts relating to shares (or other applicable securities) of the Fund or any successor fund on any Related Futures or Options Exchange at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the close of trading on that day.
(E) The closure of the Relevant Stock Exchange or any Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to the Fund or any successor fund prior to its scheduled closing time unless the earlier closing time is announced by the Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, at least one hour prior to the earlier of (1) the actual closing time for the regular trading session on such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, and (2) the submission deadline for orders to be entered into the Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange, as applicable, system for execution at the close of trading on that day.

(1) "close of trading" means the scheduled closing time of the Relevant Stock Exchange with respect to the Fund or any successor fund; and
(2) the "scheduled closing time" of the Relevant Stock Exchange or any Related Futures or Options Exchange on any Trading Day for the Fund or any successor fund means the scheduled weekday closing time of such Relevant Stock Exchange or Related Futures or Options Exchange on such Trading Day, without regard to after hours or any other trading outside the regular trading session hours.

PRS-18

Market Linked Securities- Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023

If a market disruption event occurs or is continuing on the scheduled Final Valuation Date, then the Final Valuation Date will be postponed to the first succeeding Trading Day on which a market disruption event has not occurred and is not continuing; however, if such first succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth Trading Day after the originally scheduled Final Valuation Date, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed to be the Final Valuation Date. If the Final Valuation Date has been postponed eight Trading Days after the originally scheduled Final Valuation Date and a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to the Fund on such eighth Trading Day, the calculation agent will determine the Fund Closing Price of the Fund on such eighth Trading Day based on its good faith estimate of the value of the shares (or other applicable securities) of the Fund as of the close of trading on such eighth Trading Day.

Anti-dilution Adjustments Relating to the Fund; Alternate Calculation

Anti-dilution Adjustments

The calculation agent will adjust the Adjustment Factor as specified below if any of the events specified below occurs with respect to the Fund and the effective date or ex-dividend date, as applicable, for such event is after the Pricing Date and on or prior to the Final Valuation Date.

The adjustments specified below do not cover all events that could affect the Fund, and there may be other events that could affect the Fund for which the calculation agent will not make any such adjustments, including, without limitation, an ordinary cash dividend. Nevertheless, the calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, make additional adjustments to any terms of the securities upon the occurrence of other events that affect or could potentially affect the market price of, or shareholder rights in, the Fund, with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any such change, and preserving the relative investment risks of the securities. In addition, the calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, make adjustments or a series of adjustments that differ from those described herein if the calculation agent determines that such adjustments do not properly reflect the economic consequences of the events specified in this pricing supplement or would not preserve the relative investment risks of the securities. All determinations made by the calculation agent in making any adjustments to the terms of the securities, including adjustments that are in addition to, or that differ from, those described in this pricing supplement, will be made in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner, with the aim of ensuring an equitable result. In determining whether to make any adjustment to the terms of the securities, the calculation agent may consider any adjustment made by the Options Clearing Corporation or any other equity derivatives clearing organization on options contracts on the Fund.

For any event described below, the calculation agent will not be required to adjust the Adjustment Factor unless the adjustment would result in a change to the Adjustment Factor then in effect of at least 0.10%. The Adjustment Factor resulting from any adjustment will be rounded up or down, as appropriate, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth.

(A) Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits

If a stock split or reverse stock split has occurred, then once such split has become effective, the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and the number of securities which a holder of one share (or other applicable security) of the Fund before the effective date of such stock split or reverse stock split would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following the applicable effective date.

(B) Stock Dividends

If a dividend or distribution of shares (or other applicable securities) of the Fund has been made by the Fund ratably to all holders of record of such shares (or other applicable security), then the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date to equal the prior Adjustment Factor plus the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and the number of shares (or other applicable security) of the Fund which a holder of one share (or other applicable security) of the Fund before the ex-dividend date would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following that date; provided, however, that no adjustment will be made for a distribution for which the number of securities of the Fund paid or distributed is based on a fixed cash equivalent value.

(C) Extraordinary Dividends

If an extraordinary dividend (as defined below) has occurred, then the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted on the ex-dividend date to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and a fraction, the numerator of which is the closing price per share (or other applicable security) of the Fund on the Trading Day preceding the ex-dividend date, and the denominator of which is the amount by

PRS-19

Market Linked Securities- Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the ARK Innovation ETF due February 21, 2023

which the closing price per share (or other applicable security) of the Fund on the Trading Day preceding the ex-dividend date exceeds the extraordinary dividend amount (as defined below).

For purposes of determining whether an extraordinary dividend has occurred:

(1) "extraordinary dividend" means any cash dividend or distribution (or portion thereof) that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, is extraordinary or special; and
(2) "extraordinary dividend amount" with respect to an extraordinary dividend for the securities of the Fund will equal the amount per share (or other applicable security) of the Fund of the applicable cash dividend or distribution that is attributable to the extraordinary dividend, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion.

A distribution on the securities of the Fund described below under the section entitled "-Reorganization Events" below that also constitutes an extraordinary dividend will only cause an adjustment pursuant to that "-Reorganization Events" section.

(D) Other Distributions

If the Fund declares or makes a distribution to all holders of the shares (or other applicable security) of the Fund of any non-cash assets, excluding dividends or distributions described under the section entitled "-Stock Dividends" above, then the calculation agent may, in its sole discretion, make such adjustment (if any) to the Adjustment Factor as it deems appropriate in the circumstances. If the calculation agent determines to make an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, it will do so with a view to offsetting, to the extent practical, any change in the economic position of a holder of the securities that results solely from the applicable event.

(E) Reorganization Events

If the Fund, or any successor fund, is subject to a merger, combination, consolidation or statutory exchange of securities with another exchange traded fund, and the Fund is not the surviving entity (a "reorganization event"), then, on or after the date of such event, the calculation agent shall, in its sole discretion, make an adjustment to the Adjustment Factor or the method of determining the payment at stated maturity, or any other terms of the securities as the calculation agent determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the securities of such event, and determine the effective date of that adjustment. If the calculation agent determines that no adjustment that it could make will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the calculation agent may deem such event a liquidation event (as defined below).

Liquidation Events

If the Fund is de-listed, liquidated or otherwise terminated (a "liquidation event"), and a successor or substitute exchange traded fund exists that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the Fund, then, upon the calculation agent's notification of that determination to the trustee and the Bank, any subsequent Fund Closing Price for the Fund will be determined by reference to the Fund Closing Price of such successor or substitute exchange traded fund (such exchange traded fund being referred to herein as a "successor fund"), with such adjustments as the calculation agent determines are appropriate to account for the economic effect of such substitution on holders of the securities.

If the Fund undergoes a liquidation event prior to, and such liquidation event is continuing on, the date that any Fund Closing Price of the Fund is to be determined and the calculation agent determines that no successor fund is available at such time, then the calculation agent will, in its discretion, calculate the Fund Closing Price for the Fund on such date by a computation methodology that the calculation agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the Fund, provided that if the calculation agent determines in its discretion that it is not practicable to replicate the Fund, then the calculation agent will calculate the Fund Closing Price for the Fund in accordance with the formula last used to calculate such Fund Closing Price before such liquidation event, but using only those securities that were held by the Fund immediately prior to such liquidation event without any rebalancing or substitution of such securities following such liquidation event.

If a successor fund is selected or the calculation agent calculates the Fund Closing Price as a substitute for the Fund, such successor fund or Fund Closing Price will be used as a substitute for the Fund for all purposes, including for purposes of determining whether a market disruption event exists. Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, a liquidation event with respect to the Fund may adversely affect the value of the securities.

If any event is both a reorganization event and a liquidation event, such event will be treated as a reorganization event for purposes of the securities unless the calculation agent makes the determination referenced in the last sentence of the section entitled "-Anti-dilution Adjustments-Reorganization Events" above.

Alternate Calculation

If at any time the method of calculating the Fund or a successor fund, is changed in a material respect, or if the Fund or a successor fund is in any other way modified so that the Fund does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the price of the securities of the Fund or such successor fund had such changes or modifications not been made, then the calculation agent may, at the close of business in New York City on the date that any Fund Closing Price is to be determined, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the calculation agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a closing price of the Fund comparable to the Fund or such successor fund, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the Fund Closing Price and the payment at stated maturity with reference to such adjusted closing price of the Fund or such successor fund, as applicable.

Events of Default and Acceleration

If the securities have become immediately due and payable following an event of default (as defined in the section "Description of Senior Debt Securities - Events of Default" in the accompanying prospectus) with respect to the securities, the amount payable on the securities will be equal to the Redemption Amount, calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Final Valuation Date.

If the securities have become immediately due and payable following an event of default, you will not be entitled to any payments with respect to the securities in addition to the Redemption Amount, calculated as set forth in the preceding paragraph. For more information, see "Description of Senior Debt Securities-Events of Default" beginning on page 9 of the accompanying prospectus.

THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE SECURITIES

The estimated value of the securities set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the securities, valued using our internal funding rate for structured debt described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities. The estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which Wells Fargo Securities or any other person would be willing to buy your securities in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the Bank's estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in comparison to those costs for our conventional fixed-rate debt. For additional information, see "Risk Factors-Our Estimated Value Was Not Determined By Reference To Credit Spreads For Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt" in this pricing supplement. The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities is derived from the Bank's or a third party hedge provider's internal pricing models. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the Bank's estimated value of the securities was determined when the terms of the securities were set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See "Risk Factors-Our Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values Of The Securities And May Differ From Others' Estimates" in this pricing supplement.

The Bank's estimated value of the securities is lower than the principal amount of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the principal amount of the securities. These costs include the selling commissions paid to affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits that our hedge counterparties, which may include our affiliates, expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the securities. See "Risk Factors-Our Estimated Value of the Securities Is Lower Than The Original Offering Price Of The Securities" in this pricing supplement.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The securities will be purchased by Wells Fargo Securities as principal, pursuant to a distribution agreement between Wells Fargo Securities and us. We have agreed to pay certain of Wells Fargo Securities' expenses in connection with the offering of the securities.

Wells Fargo Securities will receive an underwriting discount of $22.50 per security. Wells Fargo Securities proposes to offer the securities to certain securities dealers, including securities dealers acting as custodians, at the principal amount of the securities less a concession of $12.50 per security. Such securities dealers may include WFA. In addition to the selling concession allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo Securities will pay $0.75 per security of the underwriting discount to WFA as a distribution expense fee for each security sold by WFA.

In addition, in respect of certain securities sold in this offering, the Issuer may pay a fee of $1.50 per security to selected securities dealers in consideration for marketing and other services in connection with the distribution of the securities to other securities dealers.

We will deliver the securities against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is more than two business days following the Pricing Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade securities on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The principal amount of the securities includes the underwriting discount received by Wells Fargo Securities and the projected profit that our hedge counterparties expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities. We expect to hedge our obligations through an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, one of our affiliates and/or another unaffiliated counterparty. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond the counterparties' control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or could result in a loss. The underwriting discount and projected profit of our hedge counterparties reduce the economic terms of the securities. In addition, the fact that the principal amount includes these items is expected to adversely affect the secondary market prices of the securities. These secondary market prices are also likely to be reduced by the cost of unwinding the related hedging transaction. See "Use of Proceeds and Hedging" in the underlying supplement.

The Bank, Wells Fargo Securities or any of our respective affiliates may use this pricing supplement in market-making transactions in the securities after their initial sale. However, it is not obligated to do so and may discontinue making a market at any time without notice.

SUMMARY OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion is a brief summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the securities. The following summary is not complete and is both qualified and supplemented by, or in some cases supplements, the discussion entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the underlying supplement, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the securities.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the securities are uncertain. No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how the securities should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the opinion of our tax counsel, Mayer Brown LLP, it would generally be reasonable to treat the securities as prepaid cash-settled derivative contracts. Pursuant to the terms of the securities, you agree to treat the securities in this manner for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. If this treatment is respected, subject to the discussion below concerning the potential application of the "constructive ownership" rules under Section 1260 of the Code, you should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption or payment on maturity in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount that you paid for your securities. Such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your securities for more than one year. Non-U.S. holders should consult the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences - Non-U.S. Holders" in the underlying supplement.

The expected characterization of the securities is not binding on the IRS or the courts. Thus, it is possible that the IRS would seek to characterize your securities in a manner that results in tax consequences to you that are different from those described above or in the accompanying underlying supplement. Such alternate treatments could include a requirement that a holder accrue ordinary income over the life of the securities or treat all gain or loss at maturity as ordinary gain or loss. For a more detailed discussion of certain alternative characterizations with respect to your securities and certain other considerations with respect to your investment in the securities, you should consider the discussion set forth in "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" of the underlying supplement. We are not responsible for any adverse consequences that you may experience as a result of any alternative characterization of the securities for U.S. federal income tax or other tax purposes.

While the matter is not entirely clear, since the Fund is the type of financial asset described under Section 1260 of the Code (including, among others, any equity interest in pass-thru entities such as regulated investment companies (including certain exchange-traded funds), a "Section 1260 Financial Asset"), there exists a substantial risk that an investment in the securities is a "constructive ownership transaction" to which Section 1260 of the Code applies. If Section 1260 of the Code applies, all or a portion of any long-term capital gain recognized in respect of a security will be recharacterized as ordinary income (the "Excess Gain"). In addition, an interest charge will also apply to any deemed underpayment of tax in respect of any Excess Gain to the extent such gain would have resulted in a gross income inclusion in taxable years prior to the taxable year of the sale, exchange, or settlement (assuming such income accrued at a constant rate equal to the applicable federal rate as of the date of sale, exchange, or settlement).

If an investment in a security is treated as a constructive ownership transaction, it is not clear to what extent any long-term capital gain in respect of the security will be recharacterized as ordinary income. It is possible, for example, that the amount of the Excess Gain (if any) that would be recharacterized as ordinary income in respect of the security will equal the excess of (i) any long-term capital gain you recognized in respect of the security and attributable to the Section 1260 Financial Asset, over (ii) the "net underlying long-term capital gain" (as defined in Section 1260 of the Code) you would have had if you had acquired an amount of the corresponding Section 1260 Financial Asset at fair market value on the original issue date for an amount equal to the portion of the issue price of the security attributable to the Section 1260 Financial Asset and sold such Section 1260 Financial Asset upon the date of sale, exchange, or settlement of the security at fair market value (and appropriately taking into account any leveraged upside exposure). To the extent any gain is treated as long-term capital gain after application of the recharacterization rules of Section 1260 of the Code, such gain would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates that would have been applicable to the net underlying long-term capital gain. However, unless otherwise established by clear and convincing evidence, the net underlying long-term capital gain is treated as zero. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 1260 of the Code to an investment in the security.

You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of such characterization and any possible alternative characterizations of the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You should also consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and other tax consequences of your investment in the securities in your particular circumstances, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, our Canadian tax counsel, the following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereto (the "Canadian Tax Act") generally applicable at the date hereof to an investor who acquires beneficial ownership of a security pursuant to this pricing supplement and who for the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and at all relevant times: (a) is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada; (b) deals at arm's length with the Issuer and any transferee resident (or deemed to be resident) in Canada to whom the investor disposes of the security; (c) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the security in, or in the course of, carrying on a business in Canada; (d) is entitled to receive all payments (including any interest and principal) made on the security; and (e) is not a, and deals at arm's length with any, "specified shareholder" of the Issuer for purposes of the thin capitalization rules in the Canadian Tax Act (a "Non-Resident Holder"). A "specified shareholder" for these purposes generally includes a person who (either alone or together with persons with whom that person is not dealing at arm's length for the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act) owns or has the right to acquire or control or is otherwise deemed to own 25% or more of the Issuer's shares determined on a votes or fair market value basis. Special rules which apply to non-resident insurers carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere are not discussed in this summary.

This summary is supplemental to and should be read together with the description of material Canadian federal income tax considerations relevant to a Non-Resident Holder owning securities under "Material Income Tax Consequences-Canadian Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus and a Non-Resident Holder should carefully read that description as well.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Non-Resident Holder. Non-Resident Holders are advised to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Based on Canadian tax counsel's understanding of the Canada Revenue Agency's administrative policies, and having regard to the terms of the securities, interest payable on the securities should not be considered to be "participating debt interest" as defined in the Canadian Tax Act and accordingly, a Non-Resident Holder should not be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax in respect of amounts paid or credited or deemed to have been paid or credited by the Issuer on a security as, on account of or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, interest.

Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the consequences to them of a disposition of the securities to a person with whom they are not dealing at arm's length for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act.
