Letter to our Shareholdersfrom our Chairman of the BoardMarch 16, 2021Dear Fellow Shareholders,I became Chairman of the Wells Fargo Board of Directors in March 2020, just days beforethe world began to recognize the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of thepandemic on families, communities, and businesses has been substantial. The people ofWells Fargo have worked tirelessly to support our customers, employees, and communitiesby implementing a broad range of actions and initiatives. Despite the unprecedentedcircumstances, we have continued the work necessary to move Wells Fargo forward,including in response to the pandemic. As we approach the spring of 2021 and theavailability of vaccines increases, we are hopeful that all of us can return to somedegree of normality by the end of 2021.The Board named Charlie Scharf CEO in September 2019 and, since joining the Companyin October 2019, Charlie has conducted an extensive review of the Company’s businesses,operating model, and strategy, and he has made significant changes to position the Companyto be more efficient and effective. He has introduced a flatter organizational structure withimproved reporting, elevated strong internal talent, brought in people from other organizationswho have experience leading transformational change, and provided our managementteam with clear authority and responsibility. In consultation with the Board, Charlie hasset clear priorities for the team and is driving our top priority — to continue strengtheningthe Company’s risk and control foundation and addressing outstanding regulatory matters —with a sense of urgency.A multiyear effort is underway to make Wells Fargo a better and more efficient company,including by reducing third-party spend, consolidating locations and operational platforms,focusing on identifying and developing our core businesses, and applying technologydifferently. Our businesses are working to leverage data more effectively to providecustomers with useful guidance to enable them to make better-informed financialdecisions, and to provide the tools that make doing business with Wells Fargo simpler,easier, and more convenient.The Board and its Human Resources Committee are fully engaged in overseeingWells Fargo’s diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and human capital managementto support management in its efforts to drive meaningful change. Progress in these areaswas evaluated and taken into consideration by the Board and the Human ResourcesCommittee as part of year-end compensation decisions for Charlie and our otherexecutive officers.The Board and the Company have consistently acted to enhance our governance practicesand transparency through disclosures in response to the perspectives of our shareholdersand other stakeholders. The Board’s Corporate Responsibility Committee oversees theCompany’s significant strategies, policies, and programs on social and public responsibility2

matters, including environmental sustainability and climate change. The Board and the CorporateResponsibility Committee were actively engaged in the Company’s recent decision to set theambitious goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the Company’s financed emissions by2050. We continue to oversee and support management in the Company’s increased reportingon important ESG topics such as the publication earlier this year of the Company’s inaugural TaskForce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures report.Since becoming Chairman, I have spent a significant amount of time meeting with a number ofour shareholders, and I have appreciated the opportunity to hear their feedback about Wells Fargo.We understand that the Company’s performance has suffered from both the effects of the pandemicand our historical issues. The Board, which has been largely reconstituted over the past severalyears – including with the addition of two new directors in 2020 with extensive banking expertise– is focused on helping the Company realize its full potential. We have a diverse group of skilleddirectors with fresh perspectives and significant experience who are dedicated to the Company’ssuccess.There is a lot of work ahead, but we remain confident about the underlying strength of ourCompany’s franchise, the soundness and direction of our strategy to improve operational andfinancial performance, and the Company’s ability to achieve our goal of making Wells Fargothe preeminent provider of financial services in the U.S.On behalf of Wells Fargo, we would like to thank Don James, who is not standing for reelection thisyear and is retiring from our Board in April following more than a decade of service. We appreciatehis contributions to Wells Fargo.We are pleased to invite you to attend our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 27,2021, at 10 a.m. Eastern time. As in 2020, this year’s annual meeting will be held virtuallyin order to protect the health and safety of our shareholders, employees, directors, and othermeeting participants. We had more participants and the opportunity to answer more questionsat last year’s annual meeting than in previous years, and we again look forward to an informativeand engaging meeting for our shareholders.Thank you for your continued investment in and support of Wells Fargo.Sincerely,Charles H.
