Overview
On December 23, 2008 Wachovia, a Charlotte, NC based corporation announced that its shareholders
approved a merger with the San Francisco based Wells Fargo vowing that the combination would
provide superior growth and long-term value to its shareholders, customers, employees and
communities. The merger will create a financial services company with a presence in 39 states with
11,005 branches and 12,263 ATM’s. The merger consideration is that Wachovia’s common stock will be
converted into 0.1991 of a share of Wells Fargo common stock. (Securities and Exchange Commission,
2009)
Background of Merging Companies
Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) is a diversified financial services company with $622 billion in
assets, providing banking, insurance, investments, mortgage and consumer finance through almost
6,000 stores and the internet (wellsfargo.com) across North America and internationally. Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A. has the highest possible credit rating, “Aaa,” from Moody’s Investors Service and the highest
credit rating given to a U.S. bank, “AA+,” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services.
Wachovia Corporation (NYSE:WB) is one of the nation’s largest diversified financial services companies,
with assets of $764.4 billion and market capitalization of $7.6 billion at September 30, 2008. Wachovia
provides a broad range of retail banking and brokerage, asset and wealth management, and corporate
and investment banking products and services to customers through 3,314 retail financial centers in 21
states from Connecticut to Florida and west to Texas and California, and nationwide retail brokerage,
mortgage lending and auto finance businesses. Globally, its clients are served in selected corporate and
institutional sectors and through more than 40 international offices. Its retail brokerage operations
4
under the Wachovia Securities brand name manage more than $1.0 trillion in client assets through
14,600 financial advisors in 1,500 offices nationwide. (Securities and Exchange Commission, 2008)
Type of Merger
The merger between Wachovia and Wells Fargo is a horizontal merger in which the two companies are
competitors who provide identical products and services in the same geographic area.
Reasons for the Merger
Wachovia’s reasons for entering into the merger agreement with Wells Fargo instead of Citigroup:







Wells Fargo’s strong balance sheet, asset quality and risk management have allowed it to
operate through the 2007-2008 financial crisis with relatively less negative impact than most
large U.S. financial institutions.
Wells Fargo’s business and operations complement those of Wachovia and their financial
condition and asset quality are very sound. Their earnings and prospects should result in
the combined companies having superior future earnings and prospects compared to
Wachovia’s earnings and prospects on a stand-alone basis.
The assumption of all of Wachovia’s preferred stock and debt by Wells Fargo and Wells
Fargo’s higher debt rating provided greater protection to Wachovia’s debt holders.
The likelihood that the FDIC would place Wachovia’s banking subsidiaries into receivership if
a transaction were not announced on October 3, 2008.
The strength of Wells Fargo’s capital condition and its willingness to provide interim liquidity
to Wachovia pending completion of the merger.
The considerable contingent liabilities related to acquired assets and subsidiaries that
Citigroup proposed to be left with Wachovia.
The exchange ratio provided by Wells Fargo was substantially greater value to Wachovia’s
common shareholders than the Citigroup proposal.
Wells Fargo’s reasons for entering into the merger agreement with Wachovia:
5

its knowledge of the current and prospective environment in which Wells Fargo and
Wachovia operate, including economic and market conditions;

its assessment of Wachovia’s businesses, prospects, franchises, core earnings generation
ability, assets and liabilities and its view of the attractive growth and demographic
characteristics of Wachovia’s existing markets and businesses;

the review by the Wells Fargo board of directors with its advisors of the structure of the
merger and the financial and other terms of the merger and share exchange agreement;

the expectation that the complementary nature of the respective customer bases,
geographic footprints, business products and skills of Wells Fargo and Wachovia may result
in substantial opportunities to distribute products and services throughout North America to
a broader customer base and across businesses and to enhance the capabilities of both
companies, including the expected benefits from adding a banking franchise in areas where
Wells Fargo currently operates non-banking businesses;

the fact that the combined company will have a significantly enhanced presence in 39
U.S. States, including leading deposit franchises in many of those states and in many of the
nation’s 20 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas;

Wells Fargo’s view of the value inherent in Wachovia’s banking, brokerage and asset
management businesses, including its strong customer service and community-oriented
culture and the capabilities of its employees;

the unique opportunity presented by the chance to acquire a franchise of Wachovia’s
quality, size and scope, its assessment of the pro forma capital position, financial condition
and results of operations of the combined company, and the expectation that the
transaction will exceed Wells Fargo’s internal rate of return goal and be accretive to Wells
Fargo’s earnings per common share by 2011;

the potential expense saving opportunities currently estimated by Wells Fargo’s
management to be approximately $5 billion per year on a pre-tax basis when fully realized,
as well as the possibility of potential incremental revenue opportunities;

the historical and current market prices of Wells Fargo common stock and Wachovia
common stock;
Expected Economics
According to its CFO, Wells Fargo used very conservative assumptions in evaluating the potential
acquisition of Wachovia Bank. In a statement to shareholders, CFO Howard Akins reiterated that Wells
Fargo only considers acquisitions that add to earnings per share no later than the third year after
purchase and earn an internal rate of return of at least 15 percent. The CFO indicated that this
acquisition exceeds all of Wells Fargo’s financial requirements. As part of this acquisition, Wells Fargo
expects to realize approximately $5 billion per year in savings. Additionally, Wells Fargo fully expects an
increase in incremental revenue given the existing banking network and customer base being acquired
from Wachovia. (“Wells Fargo, Wachovia Agree to Merge”)
6
Expected Benefits
When Wells Fargo completed its merger with Wachovia Corporation, it created the United States’
premier coast-to-coast diversified financial services franchise and most extensive banking network.
Wells Fargo team members serve millions of customers across North America through 11,005 stores;
12,260 ATMs; wellsfargo.com and Wells Fargo PhoneBank. Wells Fargo is number one in the United
States in community banking presence (6,653 stores), small business lending, agricultural lending,
commercial real estate lending, commercial real estate brokerage and middle market commercial
banking. They are number two in banking deposits in the United States, home mortgage originations
and servicing, retail brokerage, and debit cards. Additionally, with respect to mutual funds, Wells Fargo
will have $255 billion assets under management making it the 12th largest mutual fund family. The
Wells Fargo Insurance Services will become the World’s 5th largest insurance broker with $1.7 billion in
revenue. (“Wells Fargo and Wachovia: A Combined Premier Financial Services Company”)
As stated above, this combination creates the largest, most extensive banking store network in the
United States. As of September 2008, Wells Fargo operated 5,897 banking stores and Wachovia
operated 5,108 for a total of 11,005. Of this total, Wells Fargo operated 3,339 stores and Wachovia
operated 3,314 stores that offered full retail banking services. Given the geographic location of these
two companies, there is very little overlap of stores since Wachovia was primarily an East coast franchise
with Wells Fargo being a West coast franchise. However, there is some overlap of branches with the
most significant being in California and Texas. Due to this overlap, Wells Fargo could potentially have to
divest some of the branches. However, the amount of branches being divested is not expected to be
significant.
This banking network has given the new Wells Fargo many competitive advantages. Outside of the
advantages already mentioned, the combined company will be the number one small business lender
7
and provider of cash management services and top ten wealth manager. Additionally, the new company
will combine one of the best cross-sell banks (Wells Fargo) with a bank that has consistently been rated
number one in customer service (Wachovia Bank).
Potential Risks
Mergers come with risk. Prior to merging, a company generally assesses known risks to determine if the
risk is worth the reward. However, this assessment is based on projected outcomes. If these outcomes
do not materialize, the company may experience adverse affects – risks. The Wells Fargo and Wachovia
merger could experience the following.

Stock value decline

Credit rating downgrade

Undeveloped synergies
Stock value decline
Wells Fargo capital stock could decline if it fails to realize the expected benefits of the merger. The
merger involves the integration of the business of Wachovia and Wells Fargo. This integration could
“result in the loss of key Wachovia employees, the disruption of Wachovia’s ongoing business or
inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect Wachovia’s ability to
maintain relationships with customers and employees. As with any financial institution merger, there
also may be disruptions that cause Wachovia to lose customers or cause customers to take deposits out
of Wachovia’s banks.” (Wachovia Corporation) Wells Fargo could also incur more credit losses from
Wachovia’s loan portfolio than expected. This risk is highlighted by the fact that its customers’ credit
card balances increased by 26 percent in the last quarter of 2008, which could leave it holding stacks of
unpaid credit card bills if job losses continue. (Wells Fargo-Wachovia merger completed)
8
Credit rating downgrade
Wells Fargo’s credit rating could be downgraded. Periodically its credit rating is reviewed and could be
subject to downgrade. Wells Fargo currently has a rating of “Aaa” from Moody’s Investors Service. This
is Moody’s highest investment grade. Wells Fargo also has the highest investment grade from Standard
& Poor’s Ratings Service at “AA+”. The credit rating is a very important factor in determining Wells
Fargo’s cost of borrowing. “Following the announcement of the Wachovia merger, Moody’s and S&P
placed Wells Fargo on their respective negative credit watch lists. Rating agencies base their ratings on
many quantitative and qualitative factors, including capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, business
mix, and level and quality of earnings, and there can be no assurance that Wells Fargo will maintain the
aforementioned credit ratings” while completing the merger. (Wachovia Corporation) The factors that
affect the capital stock price are also considered for this risk factor. In addition the rating agencies
consider the economic climate in which the business participates. As such, the news that the credit
crisis has deepened with home prices in Charlotte recording their worst annual downfall on record in
October may affect Wells Fargo’s credit rating. Wells Fargo has also exposed itself to Wachovia’s
portfolio of mortgages in California and Florida, which claims the second-highest foreclosure rate in the
country. (Wells Fargo-Wachovia merger completed)
Undeveloped Synergies
Thirdly, Wells Fargo may not develop the expected synergies which drove the merger’s economic
feasibility. To accomplish synergism, Wells Fargo must meld “branch networks and payment systems”.
Large banks like Wells Fargo and Wachovia sometimes encounter problems consolidating highly
specialized units, such as risk-management and trading desks (Shean), which may slowdown or limit
Wells Fargo’s ability to achieve part or all of the synergies.
9
Not only does Wells Fargo have to meld technology together but they must meld personnel together as
well. Contending with cultural differences requires constant communication. Lack of communication
can cause the loss of key personnel and reduce possible synergies.
Synergies may develop, but too slowly for investors. To combat this risk, Wells Fargo may introduce yet
another risk – pushing too far, too quickly. If Wells Fargo pushes forward ill-prepared with creating and
setting into motion teams to tackle goals set to meet investor demands, glitches may develop causing
Wells Fargo to lose business from frustrated customers.
Other reasons Wells Fargo may not realize the expected synergies are:

lack of a clear understanding of mutual expectations;

lack of an iron-clad commitment to succeed (at every level);

significant cultural or values differences;

inappropriate behavior (failure to act with integrity and due process);

inability to agree on proposed governance or management structures;

failure to understand and adapt to “new style” of management; and/or

adoption of a “we” vs. “them” approach, rather than keeping the focus on establishing mutual
interests. (What are the greatest risks within a Merger/Acquisition?)
It is too early in the merger process to determine if Wells Fargo will develop the expected synergies or
experience a lower stock price or a downgrade in its credit rating caused by the merger. But as outlined
above, Wells Fargo has a minefield of risks to work through to achieve success in this merger.
10
Industry Impact
The banking industry is in a state of turmoil. Evidence of this fact is splashed all over the nightly news as
Congress uses tax payers’ dollars to bail it out. Key bank financial indicators signify the magnitude of the
industry’s struggles. Return on equity reduced from 13% in 2006 to 2.11% in 2008 while net-charge offs
for loans increased from .41 to 1.31.1 Wachovia, the fourth largest bank, was one on the brink of failure,
so much that the FDIC was forcing a receivership unless Wachovia announced a suitable acquirer by
October 2008. Such a large failure could have caused an even more unstable banking industry and
economy. However, as a result of Wells Fargo’s rescue, the industry is perhaps more stable than it
otherwise would be.
This merger also created a mega-bank within the banking industry. Wells Fargo, Bank of America and JP
Morgan are now unrivaled powers with 30% of the industry captured. Wells Fargo provides more
services across a much broader geography. Their customers will benefit from greater convenience,
communities will benefit because of increased capital in the communities in which Wells Fargo does
business and the shareholders will benefit because of the growth opportunities created by the merger.
Though these traits seem positive on the surface, Eric Dash, a columnist with the New York Times, brings
to light the concern of monopolistic pricing of banking products (loans) and services:
“Together, those three banks (Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo) would
be so large that they would dominate the industry, with unrivaled power to set prices
for their loans and services. Given their size and reach, the institutions would probably
come under greater scrutiny from federal regulators. Some small and midsize banks,
already under pressure, might have little choice but to seek out suitors.”
1
2006-2008 Aggregate performance and condition data for all U.S. banks is provided in appendix C
11
“The impact will be felt on Main Street, Wall Street and in Washington. While the
mergers may restore confidence in the banking industry, they also leave a handful of big
lenders to determine fees and interest rates on everything from home mortgages to
credit cards to checking accounts. Some small and midsize banks may be unable to
compete with these behemoths.” (Dash)
There is no doubt that a large portion of the nation’s banking industry is in the hands of a few giant
lenders. However, financial performance indicators suggest smaller banks outperform mega-banks. In
2008 large banks wrote off 1.31% of loans while smaller banks wrote off 0.46% of loans. Small banks
return on equity was significantly more than large banks as well, 2.8% vs. 2.11%. Given these facts, it is
unlikely the mega-bank will have a large impact on smaller banks success.
Disclosures
Though this merger was not consummated under the jurisdiction of SFAS 141r, the following section
outlines its major required disclosures.
Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia Corporation on December 31, 2008 by purchasing 100% of its voting
stock. There were no contingent considerations identified. Based on September 30, 2008 prospectus
pro forma statements, Wells Fargo paid goodwill of $14.5 billion for intangible assets assumed to
include existing customers, existing banking network, and existing personnel.
Wells Fargo decided to use the purchase method of accounting to record the consolidation. It also
effected a merger date of December 31, 2008 allowing it to account for the consolidation under SFAS
141 instead of SFAS 141R as mentioned above. The key difference in using SFAS 141 instead of SFAS
141R in this consolidation is that Wells Fargo was not required to record all contingent assets and
liabilities, just probable. There were no identified contingent assets or liabilities in the merger
transaction between Wells Fargo and Wachovia.
12
Finally the following is a table of the major class of assets and liabilities acquired by Wells Fargo based

Goodwill Section
Based on the September 30, 2008 financial statements included in the prospectus, Wells Fargo will
recognize approximately $14.5 billion in goodwill with the acquisition of Wachovia Bank. The definition
of goodwill is “an intangible asset equal to the excess cost required to acquire the business over the fair
market value of all other assets”. By definition, goodwill is due to unidentifiable assets. However, we
have speculated as to the goodwill acquired with this transaction. The most significant intangible asset
acquired is the workforce of Wachovia Bank. Wachovia had approximately 200,000 employees that
have significant banking experience. These employees built Wachovia into one of the premier financial
institutions in the United State in customer service, ranking number one for six years in a row. With the
addition of Wachovia, Wells Fargo added a significant distribution network east of the Mississippi River.
Wachovia operated in fifteen states in the East, which gave Wells Fargo access to growth markets in the
United States. Approximately, 80% of the US population is within the footprint of Wachovia Bank.
13
Additionally, Wells purchased Wachovia’s number one seat for the Southeast in Middle Market Banking.
(“Wells Fargo and Wachovia: A Combined Premier Financial Services Company”)
Detailed Consolidated Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes estimated adjustments
made by management to record assets and liabilities of Wachovia at fair values. The costs associated
with the merger are estimated at 7.9 billion dollars before tax. The costs include: systems integration,
customer conversions, employee-related expense, site consolidations, signage, and name changes. The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any benefit expected
from revenue enhancements or derived from potential cost savings related to the merger. Although,
management anticipates revenue enhancements and annual cost savings of approximately $5 billion
before taxes that will result from the merger, there can be no assurance that these items will be
achieved. (Securities and Exchange Commission, 2008)
The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information. All adjustments are based on September 30, 2008 assumptions and
valuations. The September 30, 2008 pro forma statements are included in the appendixes as well as the
December 31, 2008 financial statements.

Current Results
So where does all this leave Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo, as illustrated by the previous information,
appears to be financially sound and able to digest the acquisition of the weakening Wachovia
Corporation. As of March, 2009 Wells Fargo reported “the integration of Wachovia’s operations is
proceeding as planned and that the bank is on track to save $5 billion annually as a result of the
deal.”(Lepro) It also reported that the total integration costs are expected to be less than originally
projected. In another effort to save money, Wells has also suspended bonuses for its top executives.
