*To the extent that the issuer makes any change to the expected pricing date or expected issue date, the calculation day and stated maturity date may also be changed in the issuer’s discretion to ensure that the term of the securities remains the same.
On the date of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, the estimated value of the securities is approximately $937.46 per security. While the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date may differ from the estimated value set forth above, the issuer does not expect it to differ significantly absent a material change in market conditions or other relevant factors. In no event will the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date be less than $925.46 per security. The estimated value of the securities was determined for the issuer by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC using its proprietary pricing models. It is not an indication of actual profit to the issuer or to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or any of the issuer’s other affiliates, nor is it an indication of the price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities, LLC or any other person may be willing to buy the securities from you at any time after issuance. See “Investment Description” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” in this term sheet, “Selected Risk Considerations” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement.

Assumes a hypothetical capped value of 147.50%, or $1,475.00 per security (the midpoint of the specified range of the capped value). Each security has an original offering price of $1,000.
(1) The annualized rates of return are calculated on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis with compounding.
(2) The starting price.
The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The actual amount you receive at stated maturity and the resulting pre-tax rate of return will depend on the actual ending price and the actual capped value.

How the redemption amount is calculated
The redemption amount payable at maturity will be determined as follows:
| • | If the ending price is greater than the starting price, the redemption amount will be equal to the lesser of: |
| (i) | $1,000 plus |
| $1,000 × | ending price – starting price | × participation rate | ; and | |||||||||||||||
| starting price |
| (ii) | the capped value |
| • | If the ending price is less than or equal to the starting price, but greater than or equal to the threshold price, the redemption amount will be equal to $1,000 |
| • | If the ending price is less than the threshold price, the redemption amount will be equal to $1,000 minus |
| $1,000 × | threshold price – ending price | |||||||||
| starting price |
If the ending price is less than the threshold price, you will receive less, and possibly 90% less, than the original offering price of your securities at maturity.
How the ending price is calculated
The ending price will be calculated based on the weighted returns of the basket components and will be equal to the product of (i) 100 and (ii) an amount equal to 1 plus the sum of: (A) 75% of the component return of the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF; and (B) 25% of the component return of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF.
The component return of a basket component will be equal to:
| final component price – initial component price | ||||
| initial component price |
where,
| • | the initial component price will be the fund closing price of such basket component on the pricing date; and |
| • | the final component price will be the fund closing price of such basket component on the calculation day. |
International ETF Basket hypothetical historical performance*
*While historical information on the value of the Basket does not exist for dates prior to the pricing date, the graph above sets forth the hypothetical historical daily values of the Basket for the period from January 1, 2007 to June 28, 2017 assuming that the Basket was constructed on January 1, 2007 with a starting price of 100 and that each of the basket components had the applicable weighting as of such day. The hypothetical historical performance of the Basket is not an indication of the future performance of the Basket during the term of the securities.
