You can model or complete an exercise on your Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (LTICP) stock options by signing on to Stock Options Management with your LAN username and password.
The exercise methods available for LTICP are:
Same-Day Sale (Cashless). Buy and sell shares on the same day; end up with money net of exercise price, tax withholding, and fees.
Buy and Hold (Cash). Buy shares by delivering the exercise price and any tax withholding in cash; end up with Wells Fargo stock.
Sell-to-Cover. Buy and sell enough shares to cover the exercise price and any tax withholding in cash; end up with Wells Fargo stock.
Stock Swap. Buy shares by swapping Wells Fargo stock to cover the exercise- price, deliver any tax withholding in cash or by share withholding; end up with Wells Fargo stock and reload if applicable.
Transaction Fees There are no fees for buy and hold or stock swap exercises. For same-day sale and sell-to-cover transactions completed on long-term incentive stock options, Wells Fargo Investments LLC charges a commission of $0.03 per share with a $7.95 minimum. This charge does not include the minimal fees charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Trading and Operating Hours Monday – Friday, 9:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), during New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) trading days
Same-Day Sale and Sell-to-Cover Exercises requiring a sale of shares in the stock market submitted between 3:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time (30 minutes prior to market close), are processed on a "best effort" basis. Exercises entered outside of trading hours will be effective the next business day (provided the grant being exercised does not expire on the next day). If a trade is not completed prior to market close, the exercise will be cancelled and the exercise will need to be reentered on a subsequent day.
Buy and Hold, and Swap Exercise types that do not result in a market trade are processed as of the day that they are entered up to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Exercises entered on a weekend or holiday will be effective the next business day (provided the grant being exercised does not expire on the next day).
