SCHEDULE II
LITIGATION SCHEDULE
AUCTION RATE SECURITIES (LEGACY WACHOVIA) Beginning in August 2008, Wachovia Securities, LLC, n/k/a Wells Fargo Advisors LLC (Wachovia Securities) and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, n/k/a Wells Fargo Securities LLC (collectively with Wachovia Securities, the Wachovia Securities Affiliates) entered into settlements agreements with state regulatory agencies, including the Secretary of State for the State of Missouri (as the lead state in the North American Securities Administrators Association task force investigating the marketing and sale of auction rate securities), relating to investigations of sales practice and other issues related to the sales of auction rate securities (ARS). Wachovia Securities also announced a settlement in principle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of its similar investigation. Without admitting or denying liability, the agreements required that the Wachovia Securities Affiliates purchase certain ARS sold to customers in accounts at the Wachovia Securities Affiliates, reimburse investors who sold ARS purchased at the Wachovia Securities Affiliates for less than par, provide liquidity loans to customers at no net interest until the ARS are repurchased, offer to participate in special arbitration procedures with customers who claim consequential damages from the lack of liquidity in ARS and refund refinancing fees to certain municipal issuers who issued ARS and later refinanced those securities through the Wachovia Securities Affiliates. Without admitting or denying liability, the Wachovia Securities Affiliates also agreed to pay a total fine of $50 million to the state regulatory agencies and agreed to the entry of consent orders and Wachovia Securities agreed to entry of an injunction by the SEC.
AUCTION RATE SECURITIES (LEGACY WELLS FARGO) Beginning in November 2009, three broker-dealer subsidiaries (the Broker-Dealer Subsidiaries), Wells Fargo Investments, LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (as successor to Wells Fargo Brokerage Services, LLC), and Wells Fargo Institutional Securities, LLC, of Wells Fargo & Company (Wells Fargo) entered into settlement agreements with state securities regulators regarding the Broker-Dealers Subsidiaries participation in the auction rate securities (ARS) market. Under the agreements, the Broker-Dealer Subsidiaries agreed to purchase Auction Rate Securities (ARS) from eligible investors that bought ARS through the Broker-Dealer Subsidiaries prior to February 13, 2008 and to cease and desist from certain activities. Without admitting or denying liability, Wells Fargo Investments, LLC, agreed to pay $1.9 million in fines and penalties and the Broker-Dealer Subsidiaries agreed to reimburse investigative expenses.
MUNICIPAL DERIVATIVES BID PRACTICES INVESTIGATION The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the SEC, beginning in November 2006, requested information from a number of financial institutions, including Wachovia Bank, N.A.s (n/k/a Wells Fargo Bank, NA) municipal derivatives group, with regard to competitive bid practices in the municipal derivative markets. Other state and federal agencies subsequently also began investigations of the same practices. On December 8, 2011, a global resolution of the Wachovia Bank investigations was announced by DOJ, the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and a group of State Attorneys General. The investigations were settled with Wachovia Bank agreeing to pay a total of approximately $148 million in penalties and remediation to the various agencies.
The SEC alleged that Wachovia Bank engaged in certain acts in connection with the bidding of certain municipal reinvestment instruments during a period prior to 2006, in violation of section 17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933. Without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, Wachovia Bank consented to the entry of an injunction in the matter, and to make some of the financial payments described above.
ASSET-BACKED COMMERCIAL PAPER INVESTIGATION On August 14, 2012, the SEC entered a settled administrative order against Wells Fargo Brokerage Services LLC (n/k/a Wells Fargo Securities, LLC) and a former sales representative concerning alleged sales practice and suitability issues related to certain 2007 sales of three asset-backed commercial paper products to institutional and municipal purchasers. Without admitting or denying the allegations, the firm agreed to a censure, a cease-and-desist order, disgorgement of $65,000 plus prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty of $6.5 million.
ABS CDO INVESTIGATION In April of 2011, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (f/k/a Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC) entered into a settlement with the SEC in which the firm paid $11.2 million in disgorgement and penalties and agreed to cease and desist from violating Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act, in order to resolve issues arising from an investigation into Wachovia Capital Markets, LLCs ABS CDO underwriting, marketing and pricing practices.
FINRA SETTLEMENT On December 11, 2014, FINRA announced its settlement with ten firms, including Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, that had pitched for an investment banking role on a contemplated Toys R Us initial public offering in 2010. FINRA alleged that WFS violated NASD and FINRA rules by allowing its research analyst to participate in the solicitation of investment banking business and by offering favorable research coverage to induce investment banking business; and by failing to implement policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations in connection with analyst public appearances. WFS neither admitted nor denied FINRAs findings but consented to a censure and payment of a $4 million fine. The fine has been paid and the matter is fully resolved.
SEC ORDER On September 22, 2014, the SEC entered an order against Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC related to the firms policies and procedures to prevent the misuse of material nonpublic information. The firm admitted the SECs findings of fact, acknowledged that its conduct violated the federal securities laws and agreed to retain an independent compliance consultant to review relevant policies and procedures, as well as the making, keeping and preserving of certain required books and records. The firm agreed to a censure, a cease and desist order and a civil penalty of $5,000,000.
CLIENT IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM On December 18, 2014, FINRA announced a settlement with Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC and Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network, LLC for an alleged violation of NASD and FINRA rules concerning the Client Identification Program and the effects of using recycled client account numbers. The use of recycled numbers was alleged to have resulted in certain accounts not having a complete review for Client Identification Purposes. WFA and WFA FiNet neither admitted nor denied FINRAs findings and consented to a censure and the payment of a $1.5 million fine. The fine has been paid and the matter is fully resolved.
MUTUAL FUND SALES CHARGE WAIVERS On July 6, 2015, FINRA announced a settlement with Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC and Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network, LLC for an alleged violation of NASD and FINRA rules concerning application of mutual fund sales charge waivers. FINRA alleged WFA and FiNet did not reasonably supervise the application of sales charge waivers for eligible mutual fund purchases in certain retirement and charitable organization accounts. WFA and FiNet neither admitted nor denied FINRAs findings and agreed to censure and to provide remediation to eligible clients. Due to WFA and FiNets self-report of the issue and cooperation, FINRA assessed no fine. WFA and FiNet agreed to pay an estimated $15 million in restitution, including interest, to affected customers.
FINRA REPORTING SETTLEMENTS From time to time Wells Fargo broker-dealers resolve technical trade reporting issues relating to timing and other data elements with FINRA involving small numbers of trades processed by the firms. Resolutions of this type during the relevant period included fines of less than $100,000 each.
