On March 22, 2024, National Legal and Policy Center filed an exempt solicitation statement soliciting proxies and urged the shareholders of Wells Fargo & Company to vote for a shareholder proposal, requesting the Board of Directors to oversee an audit that analyzes the impacts, both adverse and beneficial, of the Company?s climate transition policies regarding the economic and humanitarian effects on emerging nations, which rely heavily on ? but have limited access to ? fossil fuels and other non-?renewable?

sources of power, such as nuclear. Perspectives from a full spectrum of respected economists, nongovernmental organizations, research firms, and public-interest groups could be considered. The Company should avoid one-sided political or viewpoint bias, with the auditor consulting specialists across a range of stances ?

including those who may rebut prevailing corporate media- and government-driven narratives on climate and energy. Among perspectives that may be considered include experts such as Alex Epstein, Michael Shellenberger, Bjorn Lomborg, Robert Bryce, Roy Spencer, John Christy, Roger Pielke, Richard Lindzen, and others, at the Company?s annual shareholders meeting.
