Investment Description

The Notes Linked to a Global ETF Basket due January 27, 2014 are senior unsecured debt securities of Wells Fargo & Company that provide (i) the possibility of a leveraged return, subject to a cap, if the value of the basket of exchange traded funds (the “Basket”) increases moderately from its starting price to its ending price, (ii) return of principal if, and only if, the ending price of the Basket is not less than the threshold price and (iii) full exposure to decreases in the value of the Basket from the starting price if the ending price is less than the threshold price. The Basket is comprised of the following basket components, with each basket component having the weighting noted parenthetically: the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (45%); the iShares® Russell 2000 Index Fund (20%); the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund (20%); and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (15%). If the ending price is less than the threshold price, you will lose some, and possibly all, of the original offering price of your notes.

You should read this pricing supplement together with the accompanying product supplement no. 5 dated June 17, 2010, prospectus supplement dated April 23, 2010 and prospectus dated June 4, 2009 for additional information about the notes. You should not rely on any free writing prospectus filed prior to the date of this pricing supplement in connection with making a decision to invest in the notes unless it specifically refers to the notes. Information included in this pricing supplement supercedes information in the accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus to the extent it is different from that information. Certain defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the accompanying product supplement.

 

Investor Considerations

We have designed the notes for investors who:

 

¡  

seek exposure to the upside performance of the Basket and desire to enhance any increase in the Basket, in each case subject to the capped value, and protect against a significant decline in the Basket (as measured by the change in the Basket based on the ending price relative to the starting price) by:

 

  ¨  

participating 150% in any increase in the ending price over the starting price, subject to the capped value of 162% of the original offering price per note; and

 

  ¨  

protecting against any decline in the Basket, as long as the ending price has not declined by more than 40% from the starting price; and

 

¡  

understand that if any decline in the ending price is more than 40% of the starting price, they will be fully exposed to the decrease in the Basket from the starting price and will lose some, and possibly all, of the original offering price of the notes;

 

¡  

do not seek current income; and

 

¡  

are willing to hold the notes until maturity.

The notes are not designed for, and may not be a suitable investment for, investors who:

 

¡  

seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the notes to maturity;

 

¡  

expect the value of the Basket to decrease more than 40% from its starting price;

 

¡  

seek full exposure to the upside performance of the Basket;

 

¡  

seek full principal protection for their investment;

 

¡  

seek exposure to the Basket but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the payment at stated maturity for the notes;

 

¡  

are unwilling to accept the credit risk of Wells Fargo to obtain exposure to the Basket generally, or to the exposure to the Basket that the notes provide specifically; and

 

 

¡  

prefer the lower risk of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

Hypothetical Payments at Stated Maturity

Set forth below are four examples of payment at stated maturity calculations (rounded to two decimal places), assuming component returns as indicated in the examples.

Example 1. Redemption amount is greater than the original offering price but less than the capped value:

 

    SPDR
S&P 500
ETF Trust
  iShares Russell
2000 Index
Fund
  iShares MSCI
EAFE
Index Fund
  iShares MSCI
Emerging Markets
Index Fund

Initial Component Price

  109.48   63.42   50.99   40.87

Final Component Price

  126.13   75.79   56.50   46.02

Component Return

       15.21%      19.50%      10.81%      12.60%

Based on the component returns set forth above, the ending price would equal:

100 x [1 + (45% x 15.21%) + (20% x 19.50%) + (20% x 10.81%) + (15% x 12.60%)] = 114.80

Since the ending price is greater than the starting price, the redemption amount would equal:

 

$ 1,000  +         

 $1,000  

 

x  

       114.80 – 100         x  150%         =  $ 1,222.00
                100            

On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,222.00 per $1,000 note.

Example 2. Redemption amount is equal to the capped value:

 

    SPDR
S&P 500
ETF Trust
  iShares Russell
2000 Index
Fund
  iShares MSCI
EAFE
Index Fund
  iShares MSCI
Emerging Markets
Index Fund

Initial Component Price

  109.48   63.42   50.99   40.87

Final Component Price

  163.80   89.20   76.83   61.55

Component Return

       49.62%      40.65%      50.68%      50.60%

Based on the component returns set forth above, the ending price would equal:

100 x [1 + (45% x 49.62%) + (20% x 40.65%) + (20% x 50.68%) + (15% x 50.60%)] = 148.19

The redemption amount would be equal to the capped value since the capped value is less than:

 

$ 1,000  +         

 $1,000  

 

x  

       148.19 – 100         x  150%         =  $ 1,722.85
                100            

On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,620 per $1,000 note.

In addition to limiting your return on the notes, the capped value limits the positive effect of the participation rate. If the ending price is greater than the starting price, you will participate in the performance of the Basket at a rate of 150% up to a certain point. However, the participation rate only has a positive effect for ending prices that are not greater than 141.33% of the starting price and the participation rate will not have a positive effect for any ending price greater than 141.33% of the starting price since your return on the notes will be limited to the capped value.

Hypothetical Payments at Stated Maturity (Continued)

Example 3. Redemption amount is equal to the original offering price:

 

    SPDR
S&P 500
ETF Trust
  iShares Russell
2000 Index
Fund
  iShares MSCI
EAFE
Index Fund
  iShares MSCI
Emerging Markets
Index Fund

Initial Component Price

  109.48      63.42        50.99        40.87   

Final Component Price

    92.84      59.45        45.77        34.33   

Component Return

   -15.20%    -6.26%   -10.24%   -16.00%

Based on the component returns set forth above, the ending price would equal:

100 x [1 + (45% x -15.20%) + (20% x -6.26%) + (20% x -10.24%) + (15% x -16.00%)] = 87.46

Since the ending price is less than the starting price, but not by more than 40%, you would not lose any of the original offering price of your notes.

On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000 per $1,000 note.

Example 4. Redemption amount is less than the original offering price:

 

    SPDR
S&P 500
ETF Trust
  iShares Russell
2000 Index
Fund
  iShares MSCI
EAFE
Index Fund
  iShares MSCI
Emerging Markets
Index Fund

Initial Component Price

  109.48        63.42        50.99        40.87   

Final Component Price

    59.13        34.33        25.38        24.30   

Component Return

   -45.99%   -45.87%   -50.23%   -40.54%

Based on the component returns set forth above, the ending price would equal:

100 x [1 + (45% x -45.99%) + (20% x -45.87%) + (20% x -50.23%) + (15% x -40.54% )] = 54.00

Since the ending price is less than the starting price by more than 40%, you would lose a portion of the original offering price of your notes and receive the redemption amount equal to:

 

$ 1,000  –         

 $1,000  

 

x  

   100 – 54.00         =  $ 540.00
            100      

On the stated maturity date you would receive $540.00 per $1,000 note.

To the extent that the component returns differ from the values assumed above, the results indicated above would be different.

The Basket

The Basket will represent a weighted portfolio of the following four basket components, with the return of each basket component having the weighting noted parenthetically: the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (45%); the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (20%); the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (20%); and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (15%). The value of the Basket will increase or decrease depending upon the performance of the basket components. For more information regarding the basket components, see “The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust,” “The iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund,” “The iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund” and “The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund.”

The Basket is not a recognized market measure. The Basket was created solely for the purposes of the offering of the notes and will be calculated solely during the term of the notes. The Basket does not reflect the performance of all major securities markets, and may not reflect actual market performance.

The following graph sets forth the hypothetical historical end-of-period levels of the Basket from April 30, 2003 through July 22, 2010, assuming that the Basket was constructed on April 30, 2003 with a starting price of 100 and that each of the basket components had the applicable weighting as of such day. We obtained the closing prices and other information used by us in order to create the graph below from Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”). We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg.

The hypothetical historical basket values, as calculated solely for the purposes of the offering of the notes, fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the value of the Basket during any period shown below is not an indication that the percentage change in the value of the Basket is more likely to be positive or negative during the term of the notes. The hypothetical historical values do not give an indication of future values of the Basket.

General

The SPDR Trust is a unit investment trust designed to generally correspond, before expenses, to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500 Index. The SPDR Trust is organized under New York law and is governed by a trust agreement between State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Trustee”) and PDR Services. The SPDR Trust was created to provide investors with the opportunity to purchase a security representing a proportionate undivided interest in a portfolio of securities consisting of substantially all of the common stocks, in substantially the same weighting, which comprise the S&P 500 Index. The SPDR Trust issues securities called “Trust Units” that represent an undivided ownership interest in a portfolio of all of the common stocks of the S&P 500 Index. The SPDR Trust is listed on the NYSE Arca under ticker symbol “SPY.”

Investment

The SPDR Trust holds stocks (the “Portfolio”) and cash and is not actively “managed” by traditional methods, which typically involve effecting changes in the Portfolio on the basis of judgments made relating to economic, financial and market considerations. At any time, the SPDR Trust will consist of any many S&P 500 Index component stocks as practicable. It is anticipated that cash will not constitute a substantial portion of the net assets of the SPDR Trust. To maintain the correspondence between the composition and weightings of the Portfolio and component stocks of the S&P 500 Index, the Trustee adjusts the Portfolio from time to time to conform to periodic changes in the identity and/or relative weightings of the component stocks of the S&P 500 Index. The Trustee aggregates certain of these adjustments and makes changes to the Portfolio at least monthly or more frequently in the case of significant changes to the S&P 500 Index. Generally, any change in the identity or weighting of a stock included in the S&P 500 Index will result in a corresponding adjustment to the prescribed Portfolio deposit effective on the business day following the day on which the change to the S&P 500 Index takes effect. The value of Trust Units fluctuate in relation to changes in the value of the Portfolio. The market price of each individual Trust Unit may not be identical to the net asset value of such Trust Unit but, historically, these two valuations have been very close. It is possible that, for a short period, the SPDR Trust may not fully replicate the performance of the S&P 500 Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain stocks underlying the S&P

500 Index in the secondary market or due to other extraordinary circumstances. Additionally, although the market price of the SPDR Trust is generally expected to mirror the characteristics and valuations of the S&P 500 Index, the price of the SPDR Trust may not completely track the value of the S&P 500 Index because the SPDR Trust will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the S&P 500 Index.

The S&P 500 Index

The S&P 500 Index is published by S&P and is intended to provide an indication of the pattern of common stock price movement. The calculation of the value of the S&P 500 Index (discussed below in further detail) is based on the relative value of the aggregate Market Value (as defined below) of the common stocks of 500 companies as of a particular time compared to the aggregate average Market Value of the common stocks of 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943. Historically, the “Market Value” of any S&P component stock was calculated as the product of the market price per share and the number of the then-outstanding shares of such S&P component stock. As discussed below, during March 2005, S&P began to use a new methodology to calculate the Market Value of the S&P component stocks and S&P completed its transition to the new calculation methodology during September 2005.

S&P chooses companies for inclusion in the S&P 500 Index with the aim of achieving a distribution by broad industry groupings that approximates the distribution of these groupings in the common stock population of the Standard & Poor’s Stock Guide Database, which S&P uses as an assumed model for the composition of the total market. Relevant criteria employed by S&P include the viability of the particular company, the extent to which that company represents the industry group to which it is assigned, the extent to which the market price of that company’s common stock is generally responsive to changes in the affairs of the respective industry and the market value and trading activity of the common stock of that company. S&P may from time to time, in its sole discretion, add companies to, or delete companies from, the S&P 500 Index to achieve the objectives stated above.

Computation of the S&P 500 Index

Prior to March 2005, the Market Value of a component stock was calculated as the product of the market price per share and the total number of outstanding shares of the component stock. In March 2004, S&P announced that it would transition the S&P 500 Index to float-adjusted market capitalization weights. The transition began in March 2005 and was completed in September 2005. S&P’s criteria for selecting stock for the S&P 500 Index was not changed by the shift to float adjustment. However, the adjustment affects each company’s weight in the S&P 500 Index (i.e., its Market Value). Currently, S&P calculates the S&P 500 Index based on the total float-adjusted market capitalization of each component stock, where each stock’s weight in the S&P 500 Index is proportional to its float-adjusted market value.

Under float adjustment, the share counts used in calculating the S&P 500 Index reflect only those shares that are available to investors, not all of a company’s outstanding shares. S&P defines three groups of shareholders whose holdings are subject to float adjustment:

 

   

holdings by other publicly traded corporations, venture capital firms, private equity firms, strategic partners, or leveraged buyout groups;

 

   

holdings by government entities, including all levels of government in the U.S. or foreign countries; and

holdings by current or former officers and directors of the company, founders of the company, or family trusts of officers, directors, or founders, as well as holdings of trusts, foundations, pension funds, employee stock ownership plans, or other investment vehicles associated with and controlled by the company.

However, treasury stock, stock options, restricted shares, equity participation units, warrants, preferred stock, convertible stock, and rights are not part of the float. In cases where holdings in a group exceed 10% of the outstanding shares of a company, the holdings of that group are excluded from the float-adjusted count of shares to be used in the index calculation. Mutual funds, investment advisory firms, pension funds, or foundations not associated with the company and investment funds in insurance companies, shares of a U.S. company traded in Canada as “exchangeable shares,” shares that trust beneficiaries may buy or sell without difficulty or significant additional expense beyond typical brokerage fees, and, if a company has multiple classes of stock outstanding, shares in an unlisted or non-traded class if such shares are convertible by shareholders without undue delay and cost, are also part of the float.

For each stock, an investable weight factor (“IWF”) is calculated by dividing the available float shares, defined as the total shares outstanding less shares held in one or more of the three groups listed above where the group holdings exceed 10% of the outstanding shares, by the total shares outstanding. The float-adjusted index is then calculated by dividing the sum of the IWF multiplied by both the price and the total shares outstanding for each stock by the index divisor. For companies with multiple classes of stock, S&P calculates the weighted average IWF for each stock using the proportion of the total company market capitalization of each share class as weights.

As of the date of this pricing supplement, the S&P 500 Index is calculated using a base-weighted aggregate methodology: the level of the S&P 500 Index reflects the total Market Value of all the component stocks relative to the S&P 500 base period of 1941-43. The daily calculation of the S&P 500 Index is computed by dividing the Market Value of the S&P 500 component stocks by the index divisor.

The S&P 500 Index maintenance includes monitoring and completing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, share changes, stock splits, stock dividends and stock price adjustments due to company restructurings or spin-offs. Continuity in index values is maintained by adjusting the index divisor for all changes in the S&P 500 constituents’ share capital after the base period of 1941-43 with the index value as of the base period set at 10. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends do not require index divisor adjustments because following a stock split or stock dividend, both the stock price and number of shares outstanding are adjusted by S&P so that there is no change in the Market Value of the component stock. All stock split and dividend adjustments are made after the close of trading on the day before the ex-date.

To prevent the level of the S&P 500 Index from changing due to corporate actions, all corporate actions which affect the total Market Value of the S&P 500 Index require an index divisor adjustment. By adjusting the index divisor for the change in total Market Value, the level of the S&P 500 Index remains constant. This helps maintain the level of the S&P 500 Index as an accurate barometer of stock market performance and ensures that the movement of the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the corporate actions of individual companies in the S&P 500 Index. All index divisor adjustments are made after the close of trading and after the calculation of the closing levels of the S&P 500 Index. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require simple changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the companies in the S&P 500 Index and do not require index divisor adjustments.

The table below summarizes the types of index maintenance adjustments and indicates whether or not an index divisor adjustment is required.

 

Type of Corporate Action

  

Comments

   Divisor
Adjustment
Company added/deleted    Net change in market value determines divisor adjustment.    Yes

Change in shares
outstanding

   Any combination of secondary issuance, share repurchase or buy back—share counts revised to reflect change.    Yes
Stock split    Share count revised to reflect new count. Divisor adjustment is not required since the share count and price changes are offsetting.    No
Spin-off    If spun-off company is not being added to the index, the divisor adjustment reflects the decline in index market value (i.e., the value of the spun-off unit).    Yes
Spin-off    Spun-off company added to the index, no company removed from the index.    No
Spin-off    Spun-off company added to the index, another company removed to keep number of names fixed. Divisor adjustment reflects deletion.    Yes
Change in IWF    Increasing (decreasing) the IWF increases (decreases) the total market value of the index. The divisor change reflects the change in market value caused by the change to an IWF.    Yes
Special dividend    When a company pays a special dividend the share price is assumed to drop by the amount of the dividend; the divisor adjustment reflects this drop in index market value.    Yes
Rights offering    Each shareholder receives the right to buy a proportional number of additional shares at a set (often discounted) price. The calculation assumes that the offering is fully subscribed. Divisor adjustment reflects increase in market cap measured as the shares issued multiplied by the price paid.    Yes

Each of the corporate events exemplified in the table requiring an adjustment to the index divisor has the effect of altering the Market Value of the component stock and consequently of altering the aggregate Market Value of the S&P 500 component stocks (the “Post-Event Aggregate Market Value”). In order that the level of the S&P 500 Index (the “Pre-Event Index Value”) not be affected by the altered Market Value (whether increase or decrease) of the affected component stock, a new index divisor (“New Divisor”) is derived as follows:

 

Post-Event Aggregate Market Value

  =   Pre-Event Index Value

New Divisor

   

 

New Divisor

  =  

Post-Event Aggregate Market Value

    Pre-Event Index Value

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (Continued)

A large part of the S&P 500 Index maintenance process involves tracking the changes in the number of shares outstanding of each of the S&P 500 Index companies. Four times a year, on a Friday close to the end of each calendar quarter, the share totals of companies in the S&P 500 Index are updated as required by any changes in the number of shares outstanding and then the index divisor is adjusted accordingly. In addition, changes in a company’s shares outstanding of 5% or more due to mergers, acquisitions, public offerings, private placements, tender offers, Dutch auctions or exchange offers are made as soon as reasonably possible. Other changes of 5% or more (due to, for example, company stock repurchases, redemptions, exercise of options, warrants, conversion of preferred stock, notes, debt, equity participations or other recapitalizations) are made weekly, and are announced on Wednesdays for implementation after the close of trading on the following Wednesday. If a 5% or more change causes a company’s IWF to change by 5 percentage points or more (for example from 0.80 to 0.85), the IWF will be updated at the same time as the share change, except IWF changes resulting from partial tender offers will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Changes to an IWF of less than 5 percentage points are implemented at the next IWF review, which occurs annually. In the case of certain rights issuances, in which the number of rights issued and/or terms of their exercise are deemed substantial, a price adjustment and share increase may be implemented immediately.
