Same-day sale trades submitted between 3:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time (30 minutes prior to the market close) are processed on a "best effort" basis. 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.

To complete a cash exercise, you will need to send Wells Fargo the money by check or wire for the cost of the shares (option price multiplied by the number of shares you wish to purchase), plus the tax withholdings that are due at the time of exercise. Wells Fargo then issues the shares to your account through Direct Registration at Wells Fargo Shareowner Services^SM or to your Wells Fargo Investments, LLC brokerage account.

1. Go to Stock Options Management and click Grant Summary.
2. Select the grant you want to exercise.
