Long-Term Debt Maturities

Note 13: Long-Term Debt       

We issue long-term debt denominated in multiple currencies, predominantly in U.S. dollars. Our issuances have both fixed and floating interest rates. As a part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy, we often use derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. We also use derivatives to manage our exposure to foreign currency risk. As a result, the long-term debt presented below is primarily hedged in a fair value or cash flow hedge relationship. See Note 16 for further information on qualifying hedge contracts.

Following is a summary of our long-term debt carrying values, reflecting unamortized debt discounts and premiums, and purchase accounting adjustments, where applicable. The interest rates displayed represent the range of contractual rates in effect at December 31, 2013. These interest rates do not include the effects of any associated derivatives designated in a hedge accounting relationship.

For information on embedded derivatives, see Note 16 – Free-standing derivatives. In addition, a major portion consists of zero coupon callable notes where interest is paid as part of the final redemption amount.
• Includes fixed-rate subordinated notes issued by the Parent at a discount of $140 million in fourth quarter 2013 to effect a modification of Wells Fargo Bank, NA notes. These notes are carried at their par amount on the balance sheet of the Parent presented in Note 25.

• Represents floating-rate extendible notes where holders of the notes may elect to extend the contractual maturity of all or a portion of the principal amount on a periodic basis.
• At December 31, 2013, Federal Home Loan Bank advances are secured by residential loan collateral. Outstanding advances at December 31, 2012, were secured by investment securities and residential loan collateral.

The aggregate carrying value of long-term debt that matures (based on contractual payment dates) as of December 31, 2013, in each of the following five years and thereafter, is presented in the following table.

As part of our long-term and short-term borrowing arrangements, we are subject to various financial and operational covenants. Some of the agreements under which debt has been issued have provisions that may limit the merger or sale of certain subsidiary banks and the issuance of capital stock or convertible securities by certain subsidiary banks. At December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all the covenants.
