The Law Firm of Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Launches an Investigation into Possible Securities Laws Violations by Wells Fargo

Levi & Korsinsky is investigating potential claims on

behalf of purchasers of Wells Fargo & Company

(“Wells Fargo” or the “Company”) (NYSE: WFC)

securities concerning possible violations of federal

securities laws.

On February 28, 2012, the Company filed its annual report for the period ended December 31,

2011, in which it disclosed the receipt of a Wells Notice from the United States Securities and

Exchange Commission (“SEC”) concerning its disclosures in mortgage-backed securities offering

documents.  The Wells Notice indicates the SEC’s intention to bring an enforcement action upon

Wells Fargo and providing the Company with an opportunity to provide information why such

action should not be brought.



Wells Fargo also disclosed that the Company is under investigation for concerns relating to

potential violations of fair lending laws and other laws and regulations relating to mortgage

origination practices.  Wells Fargo is also under investigation to determine whether the Company

properly disclosed the facts and risks associated with residential mortgage-backed securities in

offering documents.
