Front-End Sales Charge Waived for Former Advisor Class Shareholders
Investors who held Advisor Class shares of a Wells Fargo Advantage Fund at the close of business on June 20, 2008 (the “Eligibility Time”), so long as the following conditions are met:

  • any purchases at NAV are limited to Class A shares of the same Fund in which the investor held Advisor Class shares at the Eligibility Time;
  • share purchases are made in the same account through which the investor held Advisor Class shares at the Eligibility Time;
  • the owner of the account remains the same as the account owner at the Eligibility Time; and
  • the account maintains a positive account balance at some time during a period of at least six months in length.

Investors who held Advisor Class shares at the Eligibility Time are also eligible to exchange their Class A shares for Class A shares of another Wells Fargo Advantage Fund without imposition of any Class A sales charges and would be eligible to make additional purchases of Class A shares of such other Fund at NAV in the account holding the shares received in exchange.

The eligibility of such investors that hold Fund shares through an account maintained by a financial institution is also subject to the following additional limitation. In the event that such an investor's relationship with and/or the services such investor receives from the financial institution subsequently changes, such investor shall thereafter no longer be eligible to purchase Class A shares at NAV.
