The redemption price per share of each series of preferred stock is shown below and equals the stated value per share plus a premium, if applicable, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date.

To collect the redemption price, holders of shares of preferred stock must surrender their shares to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the redemption and paying agent, by book-entry transfer or physical delivery of certificates representing the shares, together with necessary endorsements. Certificates representing shares of the preferred stock being redeemed may be submitted to Wells Fargo at the following address:
