IMAX Corporation Receives Commitment Letter From Wachovia With Participation of Export Development



     New Facility Extends to October 2013 and Will Allow for
                Increased Borrowing Capacity

    Company Intends to Redeem Remaining Senior Notes by Year-end

TORONTO, Nov. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IMAX Corporation (Nasdaq:IMAX) (TSX:IMX) today announced that it has entered into a commitment letter with Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation pursuant to which Wachovia, with the participation of Export Development Canada, has committed to provide a four-year senior secured $75 million credit facility. Upon execution of definitive documents, the credit facility will consist of revolving loans of up to $40 million and a term loan of $35 million. Once completed, the Company intends to use the new facility to finance its future growth and working capital requirements. The proposed credit facility matures on October 31, 2013 and will replace the Company's previous $40 million credit facility which was to mature in October of 2010.

As currently contemplated, borrowings under the credit facility will bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR or Wachovia's prime rate plus variable margins at the Borrower's option, under which applicable interest rates currently range from 3.03% to 4.03% per annum.

As previously announced on October 2, 2009, the Company called $75 million of its Senior Notes for redemption on December 1, 2009. The Company intends to redeem the remaining $29.4 million of its Senior Notes by year-end.

"This proposed new facility, combined with the redemption of our remaining senior notes, are very important steps toward creating a capital structure that will enable the Company to further realize the growth potential for the IMAX brand," said Richard L. Gelfond, Chief Executive Officer of IMAX Corporation. "We believe our progress throughout this year to strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our financial flexibility is reflective of the early success we have achieved with our new business model and our entry in the digital arena."

Debt Deals: NRF, MCGC - Zibb.com

NorthStar Realty Finance (NRF) announced it completed a three year renewal of its credit facility with Wachovia Bank, a subsidiary of Wells Fargo (WFC), for three years. With the renewal, NorthStar agreed to make 15 million dollar semi-annual reductions of the facility over the three year term, and Wachovia agreed to eliminate margin call provisions as well as fixed charge and recourse debt covenants. Wachovia also gets 2 million warrants to purchase shares of NorthStar at exercise prices ranging from 7.50 to 10.50 per share. The interest rate on the credit facility will be LIBOR plus three and a half percent. Shares of NorthStar were up nearly 5% in Thursday trading.

And MCG Capital (MCGC) announced an amendment package for two series of senior unsecured notes. For the 2005-A series, the maturity date was extended by one year to October 11, 2011 and in exchange the interest rate was increased by one percent. The company also agreed to a 5 million dollar prepayment, made on a pro-rata basis, and agreed to a modification of cash sweep provisions. Going forward, for any unencumbered asset monetizations, cash proceeds will first go toward a 7.5% sweep required by the SunTrust (STI) Warehouse facility, and then a second 45% sweep will go to reduce the principal balance of the unsecured notes. The prior sweep to the unsecured notes was 5%. On Thursday, shares of MCGC were trading up over 7 and a half percent.

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) reported diluted earnings per common share of $0.56 for third quarter 2009 compared with $0.57 for second quarter 2009 and $0.49 for third quarter 2008. (Results prior to January 1, 2009, do not include Wachovia.) Wells Fargo net income was a record $3.24 billion for third quarter 2009, up 98 percent from last year, and a record $9.45 billion for the first nine months of 2009, up 75 percent from last year.

"Doing what's right for our customers again proved to be right for our stockholders as our talented team members earned even more of our customers' business, enabling us to achieve our third consecutive quarter of record earnings," said President and CEO John Stumpf. "The Wells Fargo-Wachovia merger, agreed to a year ago, is exceeding our expectations and already adding value for many of our 70 million customers across North America. Merger costs have been significantly less than originally expected. With our 80-plus businesses pulling the stagecoach, the diversity of our business model again showed significant power to generate capital internally. We had solid performance across our company -- especially among counter-cyclical businesses such as deposits, residential mortgages, debit card and asset-based lending. We're also doing what's right for our mortgage customers having difficulty making their payments on time. We've offered home payment relief to 1.3 million customers so far this year, including 355,000 loan modifications. We now have 13,000 team members working on helping customers stay in their homes and our delinquency and foreclosure rates continue to be well below the industry average. As we've already announced, Dick Kovacevich will step down as chairman and a director at the end of 2009 and retire from the Company in early 2010. I am grateful to Dick and to Wells Fargo's leadership team and believe we have the strongest, most experienced team of senior leaders in all of financial services. They've led our businesses to a strong third quarter, following two consecutive quarters of record earnings, despite the economic recession. This is something that few, if any, financial services companies have achieved -- and during the most challenging credit cycle in recent memory and while we continue to build reserves.

Wells Fargo has always been committed to providing clear, complete, and transparent communication about the Company's results to all of its stakeholders. As we enter the second year of the merger with Wachovia, we will be expanding our quarterly communications to include a live quarterly earnings conference call -- starting in January for our fourth quarter and full year 2009 results -- and we will also host an investor day in 2010."

Financial Performance

"Third quarter results again illustrated the Company's ability to profitably grow, even through the downward cycle despite elevated credit losses," said Chief Financial Officer Howard Atkins. "Since the merger with Wachovia at year-end 2008, we've earned a record $9.45 billion, even after building credit reserves by $3.0 billion and recording $1.4 billion of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charges. Pre-tax pre-provision profit has grown every quarter this year, reaching a record $10.8 billion in the third quarter, more than double quarterly net charge-offs. While mortgage origination and hedging results contributed to our performance, collectively all of our other businesses have also grown PTPP each quarter this year reflecting the breadth of our diversified business model, record levels of sales and cross-sell, the realization of revenue synergies from the combination with Wachovia, and further improvements in our net interest margin to 4.36 percent and efficiency ratio to 52.0 percent. We continued to maintain what we believe is one of the strongest balance sheets in banking, building credit reserves by $1.0 billion in the quarter to $24.5 billion, or 3.07 percent of total loans, reducing previously identified non-strategic and liquidating loan portfolios to $152.7 billion, down over $14 billion from year end, and reducing the value of our debt and equity investment portfolios through $396 million of OTTI. Also, in line with lower mortgage rates, the ratio of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) as a percentage of loans serviced for others was 83 basis points, the third lowest ratio in our Company's history and a level considerably lower than our mortgage peers.

"We have significantly built capital, increasing common stockholders' equity to $123 billion, up $23 billion so far in 2009 and increasing Tier 1 common to 5.2 percent, nearly two times our capital position at year-end 2008. Nonperforming loans and net charge-offs increased in the quarter, but the rate of growth of nonperforming loans has declined each quarter so far this year. While the level of nonperforming assets and losses is expected to remain elevated for a period of time, we currently expect total credit losses to peak in 2010, with consumer losses potentially peaking in the first half of the year and gradually declining as the year progresses, absent any further deterioration in the U.S. economy. Our credit reserves as of September 30, 2009, reflect an improvement in consumer loss emergence with almost all of the current quarter reserve build covering higher commercial loss emergence.

"Operationally and financially, the Wachovia merger is exceeding our expectations. Structurally, the merger leaves us with an even more diversified business than legacy Wells Fargo alone -- less geographic concentration, an even wider array of products and services, better balance between consumer and commercial businesses, and an equal split between spread income and fee income. We are currently on track to realize our objective of $5.0 billion in annual run-rate savings when we complete the integration in 2011, with about 30-40 percent of those savings now beginning to be realized in our expense run-rate. We now expect to spend about $2.4 billion less in merger and integration costs than previously expected to achieve the run-rate savings, largely because proportionately more of the labor savings are being realized through attrition instead of severance and because we're spending less than planned on building disposition, as we fill unoccupied space with third party tenants. We are ahead of plan in shedding asset risk from businesses that do not meet our financial and strategic criteria and in retaining deposits and customers. We're already realizing meaningful revenue synergies, an important driver of our earnings this year. Because Wachovia's credit-impaired loan portfolios were written down at the close of the merger at the end of last year, Wachovia is now contributing to the Company's rapid internal capital growth."

Revenue

Revenue of $22.5 billion remained at near-record levels following strong first and second quarters. Relative to the pre-Wachovia third quarter a year ago, the Company's assets almost doubled, while total revenue has substantially more than doubled, despite the weak economy and despite the reduction in non-strategic/liquidating loan and asset portfolios. The high levels of revenue generated in the third quarter related to several factors:

-- Continued strong core deposits reflecting 11 percent (annualized) growth in checking and savings, 25 percent (annualized) growth in wholesale banking core deposits and 10 percent (annualized) growth in wealth management core deposits. Wachovia's deposit pricing has been conformed to that of Wells Fargo, with continued better-than-planned retention of Wachovia's maturing higher-rate CDs (57 percent retained in third quarter). The average cost of all core deposits declined to 41 basis points in the quarter, the principal reason for the Company's 4.36 net interest margin, highest among large bank peers.

-- The Company remained an industry leader in making credit available to U.S. consumers and businesses. Total credit supplied in the quarter through mortgage originations and new/increased credit facilities was $169 billion, one of the main drivers of continued strong loan fees, even though loan demand remained soft in the quarter.

-- Record core product solutions (sales) and record cross-sell in regional banking for legacy Wells Fargo

-- Broad-based revenue growth across multiple businesses, including double-digit (annualized) linked-quarter growth in asset management, auto lending, consumer finance, debit card, retirement services, SBA lending and wealth management. Linked-quarter growth in these businesses was partially offset by more modest mortgage revenue, lower investment banking revenue and seasonal decline in insurance revenue.

-- While mortgage originations and servicing revenue remained high, total mortgage banking noninterest income represented less than 15 percent of consolidated company revenue, reflecting the breadth and depth of the Company's business model.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $11.7 billion, compared with $11.8 billion in second quarter 2009. While the net interest margin improved to 4.36 percent, average earning assets were down $23.7 billion linked quarter, reflecting soft loan demand and reductions in non-strategic/liquidating assets. While average investment securities were up $7.3 billion, this largely reflected the averaging effect in the quarter of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) purchased late in the second quarter at yields more than 1 percent above current market. During the third quarter, $23 billion of the lowest-yielding MBS were sold to reduce exposure to higher long-term interest rates.

Loans

Average total loans were $810.2 billion compared with $833.9 billion in second quarter 2009, as consumer and commercial demand for credit remained moderate and the Company continued to reduce certain higher-risk loan portfolios. The decline in average loans included a reduction of $5.7 billion linked quarter in the non-strategic and liquidating loan portfolios that the Company has been exiting, such as indirect home equity and indirect auto from legacy Wells Fargo, and Wachovia's Pick-a-Pay and commercial real estate portfolios.

Deposits

Average total core deposits were $759.3 billion compared with $765.7 billion in second quarter 2009. During the quarter, $38 billion of Wachovia's higher-rate certificates of deposit matured, with $22 billion of those balances retained. "We continued to gain new deposit customers and deepen our relationship with existing customers," said Atkins. Average checking and savings deposits increased 11 percent (annualized) to $629.6 billion from $613.3 billion in second quarter 2009. Average mortgage escrow deposits were $28.7 billion compared with $32.0 billion in second quarter 2009. Average consumer checking accounts at legacy Wells Fargo grew a net 6.4 percent from third quarter 2008 and, for Wells Fargo and Wachovia combined, grew a net 5.2 percent in California for the same period.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income of $10.8 billion was flat compared with $10.7 billion in second quarter 2009 and included:

-- Mortgage banking income of $3.1 billion, including: -- $1.1 billion in revenue from mortgage loan originations/sales activities on $96 billion of residential mortgage originations

-- $1.5 billion combined market-related valuation changes to mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) and economic hedges (consisting of a $2.1 billion decrease in the fair value of the MSRs more than offset by a $3.6 billion economic hedge gain in the quarter), largely due to hedge-carry income reflecting the current low short-term interest rate environment, which is expected to continue into the fourth quarter; MSRs as a percentage of loans serviced for others reduced to 0.83 percent; average servicing portfolio note rate was only 5.72 percent.

-- Trust and investment fees of $2.5 billion, up 15 percent (annualized) linked quarter primarily reflecting an increase in client assets, bond origination fees, and higher brokerage revenue as the Company further builds its retail securities brokerage business

-- Service charges on deposit accounts of $1.5 billion, up 8 percent (annualized) linked quarter driven by continued strong checking account growth

-- Card fees of $946 million, up 10 percent (annualized) linked quarter reflecting seasonally higher purchase volumes and higher customer penetration rates

-- Net losses on debt and equity securities totaling $11 million, including $396 million of OTTI write-downs and $120 million of realized gains on the sale of MBS in the third quarter. After having purchased over $34 billion of agency MBS in the second quarter of 2009 at yields more than 1 percent above the current market, the Company sold $23 billion of its lowest-yielding MBS after long-term interest rates declined in the third quarter.

Due to the general decline in long-term yields and narrowing of credit spreads in the quarter, the Company's net unrealized securities gains, reflected in equity, increased to $6.6 billion at September 30, 2009, from net losses of $400 million at June 30, 2009.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense declined to $11.7 billion from $12.7 billion in the second quarter, which included $565 million of FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The balance of the decline in third quarter expense was due to merger consolidation savings and ongoing expense management initiatives. "We currently expect cumulative merger integration costs of approximately $5.5 billion, down from our previous $7.9 billion estimate," said Atkins. "The revised estimate reflects lower owned real estate write-downs and lower estimated severance costs since a greater proportion of labor savings is being realized through attrition. Of this $5.5 billion, we've spent $1.0 billion merger to date, including $200 million in the third quarter. Of the amount spent thus far, $444 million has been recorded through the income statement and $559 million has been recorded through purchase accounting adjustments to goodwill. A portion of the remaining integration costs will be charged to goodwill in the fourth quarter under purchase accounting. The balance of the cumulative estimated integration costs are expected to be expensed over the next two years, and are likely to be offset by merger-related savings during this period. We remain on track to achieve $5.0 billion in annual run-rate savings upon completion of the integration in 2011. To date, we have achieved approximately 30-40 percent of these savings." Noninterest expense also included $100 million of additional insurance reserve at the Company's captive mortgage reinsurance operation and $49 million of non-Wachovia-related integration costs. "As we reduce expenses through consolidation and other expense initiatives, we continue to reinvest in our businesses for long-term revenue growth," said Atkins. "During 2009, we've opened 41 banking stores and converted 1,274 ATMs to Envelope-Free(SM) webATM machines. We have also continued to increase the level and productivity of our sales force in community banking, commercial banking and wealth management. We continue to manage to a variable expense base in the mortgage company. Part-time staff was reduced in third quarter as application volume declined, and increased again in September and early in the fourth quarter as applications increased." The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 52.0 percent from 56.4 percent in second quarter and 56.2 percent in first quarter.

Capital

"We have rebuilt capital significantly this year," said Atkins, "with most of our capital ratios now higher -- in some cases substantially so -- than they were just before the Wachovia merger a year ago."

Stockholders' equity now stands at $122 billion, up $50 billion from a year ago (excluding the U.S. Treasury's $25 billion Capital Purchase Program investment), up $23 billion from post-merger closing year-end equity and up $8 billion just in the third quarter of this year alone. "In the past year, we have more than doubled stockholders' equity while significantly reducing risk and increasing internal capital momentum," said Atkins. Tier 1 common equity grew from second quarter 2009 entirely from internally generated sources -- record retained earnings, realization of deferred tax assets and stock issued to the Company's benefit plans. Through September 30, 2009, the Company generated $20 billion, including the $8.6 billion equity raise in the second quarter, toward the $13.7 billion regulatory capital buffer under SCAP, exceeding the requirement by $6 billion. "A major contributor to our strong results compared with the regulatory SCAP requirement has been our consistent outperformance on pre-tax pre-provision profit year to date, which confirmed the confidence we've had from the beginning of this process in the underlying revenue strength of our company and the consistency of our revenue generation even in adverse scenarios," said Atkins. See footnote (4) on page 20 and the table on page 38 for more information.

In January, the Company will adopt FAS 166/167, which will result in the consolidation of certain off-balance sheet assets not currently included in its financial statements. The Company's current estimate is that FAS 166/167 is expected to add approximately $28 billion in risk-weighted assets. This latest analysis is lower than originally projected primarily due to a reduction in the amount of securitized residential mortgages expected to be consolidated. In addition, the Company continues to explore the sale of certain interests held in securitized residential mortgage loans, which would be expected to reduce further the amount of incremental GAAP assets and incremental risk-weighted assets.

Credit Quality

"While the challenging credit cycle continues and losses remain elevated, we have begun to see early indications of consumer credit stability," said Chief Credit and Risk Officer Mike Loughlin. "In the third quarter, this stabilization was evident in several consumer loan portfolios, while the consumer real estate portfolio continued to vary across geography. Some real estate markets, such as California, have had increased home sales and home price stabilization and, as these conditions improve in more markets, we expect to see improvement in credit results. Third quarter commercial and commercial real estate losses remained at manageable levels, reflecting the high-quality of Wells Fargo's commercial loan portfolio and the fact that Wachovia's commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios were already written down at the end of last year.

"Nonperforming assets and credit losses increased during the quarter, and once again we increased reserve levels to provide for the additional risk. We expect credit losses and nonperforming assets to continue to increase in the near term, but at a slower rate as we have seen the pace of deterioration slow. Based on our current economic outlook, we expect losses to peak in 2010, with consumer losses expected to peak in the first half of 2010 and commercial and commercial real estate losses expected to peak in the second half of 2010. The recovery may take some time to gain momentum and changes in the economic outlook could affect this time horizon."

Credit Losses

Third quarter net charge-offs were $5.1 billion, or 2.50 percent of average loans, compared with second quarter net charge-offs of $4.4 billion, or 2.11 percent of average loans. While losses were up in the quarter, the increase in terms of both dollars and percentages moderated from prior quarter growth. The overall quarterly loss rate in the third quarter, 2.50 percent, is substantially lower than reported large peer loss rates partly because Wells Fargo had already written down Wachovia's higher-risk loan portfolios at year end. Reflecting, in part, stabilizing credit performance, legacy Wells Fargo net charge-offs were $3.4 billion, or 3.37 percent of average loans. Wachovia's net charge-offs increased to $1.7 billion, or 1.66 percent of average loans, compared with $984 million in second quarter 2009, due to some deterioration in its portfolios and the lagging effect of purchase accounting.

Total credit losses of $5.1 billion included $1.5 billion of commercial and commercial real estate loans (1.78 percent of average loans) and $3.6 billion in consumer loans (3.13 percent of average loans), as shown in the following table.

"Commercial and commercial real estate charge-offs remained manageable in the third quarter," said Loughlin. "In fact, legacy Wells Fargo's commercial and commercial real estate losses declined $35 million, or 4 percent, in the quarter. The increase in commercial and commercial real estate losses was entirely in the Wachovia non-impaired portfolio, in part reflecting the fact that charge-offs are just now coming through Wachovia's portfolio after having eliminated nonaccruals through purchase accounting at the end of last year. The overall loss rate in third quarter for Wachovia's commercial and commercial real estate portfolio was roughly comparable to Wells Fargo's higher-quality commercial portfolio. While the industry is likely to experience elevated commercial and commercial real estate losses, we continue to believe we have one of the best commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios among large bank peers given our long-standing underwriting discipline and because we wrote down Wachovia's commercial and commercial real estate portfolio when we closed the acquisition at year end."

Consumer losses were up 12 percent in the third quarter, with virtually all of the increase in Wachovia's consumer portfolios. Over 40 percent of the increase in Wachovia consumer loan losses came from the non-impaired Pick-a-Pay portfolio, in large part reflecting the lagging effect of purchase accounting. "We are currently expecting lower life-of-loan losses on the non-impaired Pick-a-Pay portfolio than originally assumed at the time of the merger," said Loughlin. Overall losses on legacy Wells Fargo's consumer portfolio were essentially flat linked quarter. "Given the actions we've previously taken to reduce higher-risk portfolios, given the life-of-loan loss write-downs we have taken through purchase accounting and given the substantially smaller exposure to credit cards and sub-prime loans, we are expecting consumer losses to potentially peak in the first half of 2010 and gradually decline as the year progresses.

"We remain comfortable with our original loss estimates for the impaired portfolio from Wachovia, and currently expect life-of-loan losses on the purchased credit-impaired (PCI) Pick-a-Pay portfolio to be lower than original estimates. Also, while increasing this year, losses in the non-impaired Pick-a-Pay portion of the Wachovia portfolio are tracking below our original estimates at the time we acquired Wachovia. We continue to expect the non-impaired portfolios to perform significantly better than the impaired portfolios that have already been written down through purchase accounting, and the Pick-a-Pay portfolio to perform better than other companies' option adjustable-rate mortgage portfolios."

Nonperforming assets

Total nonperforming assets (NPAs) were $23.5 billion (2.93 percent of total loans) at September 30, 2009, and included $20.9 billion of nonaccrual loans and $2.5 billion of foreclosed assets (repossessed real estate and vehicles).

While commercial and commercial real estate nonaccrual loans were up in the quarter, the dollar amount of the increase declined in the quarter and the rate of growth slowed considerably. Legacy Wells Fargo's commercial and commercial real estate nonaccrual loans increased $777 million. The rate of growth in Wachovia's commercial and commercial real estate nonaccrual loans reflected some deterioration but was in line with management's expectations. Similarly, the growth rate in consumer nonaccrual loans also slowed in the quarter. Legacy Wells Fargo's consumer nonaccrual loans increased $606 million, about 11 percent, reflecting the more moderate deterioration the Company has experienced in consumer loans. Wachovia's Pick-a-Pay portfolio represents the largest portion of consumer nonaccrual loans. While up $1.2 billion in the third quarter, the increase in nonaccrual loans in the non-impaired Pick-a-Pay portfolio reflected the inflows to nonaccruals expected in the first few quarters after purchase accounting write-downs. The Company continued to actively modify non-PCI Pick-a-Pay loans through the use of troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), which temporarily keeps NPA levels elevated until the modified loans can demonstrate performance. To the extent these nonperforming loans return to accrual status, NPA growth should moderate.

The loss exposure expected in the nonperforming assets is significantly mitigated by three factors. First, 96 percent of our nonperforming loans (NPLs) are secured. Second, losses have already been recognized on 36 percent of the total. Residential real estate NPLs greater than 180 days old, or 41 percent of the total NPLs balance, have been written down to net realizable value. Third, there is a segment of NPLs for which there are specific reserves in the allowance, while other NPLs are covered by general reserves. "We believe that the allowance as of September 30, 2009, fully covers loss content embedded in the September 30, 2009 nonaccrual balances," said Loughlin.

(1) The table above does not include PCI loans that were

have a related nonaccretable difference that will absorb future
losses; therefore charge-offs on these loans are not expected to
reduce income in future periods to the extent that actual future
loan performance is consistent with original estimates.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $18.9 billion at September 30, 2009, and $16.7 billion at June 30, 2009. For the same periods, the totals included $12.9 billion and $10.7 billion, respectively, in advances pursuant to the Company's servicing agreement to Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) mortgage pools and similar loans whose repayments are insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Allowance for Credit Losses

(Includes Wells Fargo and, beginning December 31, 2008, Wachovia)

The allowance for credit losses, including the reserve for unfunded commitments, totaled $24.5 billion at September 30, 2009, compared with $23.5 billion at June 30, 2009. The credit reserve is driven by management's estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2009. Of the $1.0 billion reserve increase in the third quarter, approximately $900 million reflected continued deterioration in the commercial portfolios. "We continued to see a decline in the quality of our performing commercial and commercial real estate portfolio as well as an increase in the amount of life-of-loan reserves taken on large commercial loans where we believe it is probable that we will not collect all amounts due," said Loughlin.

The remaining $100 million increase in the reserve relates mostly to the consumer loan portfolio and is principally due to the increasing level of residential real estate loan modifications classified as TDRs. The increased modifications this quarter resulted in an increase in the allowance of approximately $400 million compared with approximately $265 million last quarter. This increase was offset by approximately $345 million release in reserves related to performing consumer loans. "Based on our expectation that consumer related losses will peak in the first half of 2010 and then begin to gradually decline, the allowance required for performing consumer loans has decreased when compared to the allowance at the end of the second quarter 2009," said Loughlin.

The allowance coverage to total loans increased to 3.07 percent compared with 2.86 percent at June 30, 2009. The allowance coverage to NPLs was 118 percent as of September 30, 2009. "We believe the allowance was adequate for losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2009, including both performing and nonperforming loans," said Loughlin.

Credit Summary

"We are two years into the most difficult credit cycle in recent memory," said Loughlin. "Economic challenges continue and we expect that credit costs will remain elevated in the fourth quarter. However, based on portfolio trends and our current economic outlook, and assuming no unexpected further deterioration in the economy, we believe consumer loan losses will peak in the first half of 2010 then gradually decline, while commercial and commercial real estate loan losses will peak in the second half of 2010 and then gradually decline. We expect nonperforming assets to continue to increase in the near term, but at a slower pace as credit deterioration slows. NPAs are expected to remain elevated through 2010. We are working closely with customers who are having difficulties to understand their challenges, identify possible solutions and minimize loss. We believe our experienced and stable management team is well equipped to navigate through the end of this cycle."

Community Banking reported net income of $2.7 billion, up $659 million, or 131 percent (annualized), from second quarter. Revenue increased $336 million, or 9 percent (annualized), driven by strong regional banking and mortgage fee income partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin. Noninterest income increased $420 million, or 28 percent (annualized), from prior quarter driven by continued strength in mortgage banking and strong growth in deposit service charges and card fees. Noninterest expense decreased $863 million, or 45 percent (annualized), driven by higher second quarter FDIC deposit insurance assessments as well as expense reductions due to Wachovia merger-related cost saves. The provision for credit losses increased $308 million, and included a $236 million credit reserve build compared with a $479 million credit reserve build in the prior quarter.

Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement reported net income of $244 million, compared with $363 million in the prior quarter.

Total provision for credit losses increased $119 million from the prior quarter, largely reflecting a credit reserve build of $137 million in third quarter due to higher loss rates.

Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Information

In accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution you that this news release contains forward-looking statements about our future financial performance and business. We make forward-looking statements when we use words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "should," "may," "can," "will," "outlook," "project" or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this news release include, among others, statements about: (i) future credit quality, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the level of nonperforming assets and nonaccrual loans, expected or estimated future losses in our loan portfolios and life-of-loan loss estimates, including that we currently expect that credit losses will peak in 2010, absent further deterioration in the economy, with consumer loan losses expected to peak in the first half of 2010 and commercial and commercial real estate loan losses expected to peak later in 2010, and that the pick-a-pay portfolios, both purchased credit-impaired and non-impaired, will perform better than management's expectations at the time of the Wachovia merger; (ii) reduction or mitigation of risk in our loan portfolios and the effects of loan modification programs; (iii) the amount and timing of expected integration activities, expenses and cost savings relating to the Wachovia merger, as well as the expected synergies and benefits of the merger, including that we currently estimate merger expenses of approximately $5.5 billion and that we currently are on track to achieve $5.0 billion annual run rate cost savings by the expected completion of the integration in 2011; (iv) the status of our capital requirements under the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program; and (v) our preliminary estimates to add assets to our consolidated financial statements upon the implementation of FAS 166 and FAS 167.

Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements as actual results could differ materially from expectations. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we do not undertake to update them to reflect changes or events that occur after that date. Several factors could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations including: current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of further declines in housing prices and high unemployment rates; our capital requirements and our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms; the terms of capital investments or other financial assistance provided by the U.S. government; legislative proposals to allow mortgage cram-downs in bankruptcy or force other loan modifications; the extent of success in our loan modification efforts; our ability to successfully and timely integrate the Wachovia merger and realize the expected cost savings and other benefits, including delays or disruptions in system conversions and higher severance costs; our ability to realize efficiency initiatives to lower expenses when and in the amount expected; recognition of other-than-temporary impairment on securities held in our available-for-sale portfolio; the effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held for sale; hedging gains or losses; disruptions in the capital markets and reduced investor demand for mortgage loans; our ability to sell more products to our customers; the effect of the economic recession on the demand for our products and services; the effect of fluctuations in stock market prices on fee income from our brokerage, asset and wealth management businesses; our election to provide support to our mutual funds for structured credit products they may hold; changes in the value of our venture capital investments; changes in our accounting policies or in accounting standards or in how accounting standards are to be applied, including the implementation of FAS 166 and FAS 167 and its effects on the consolidation of additional assets on our balance sheet; mergers and acquisitions; federal and state regulations; reputational damage from negative publicity, fines, penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations, the loss of checking and saving account deposits to other investments such as the stock market, and fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board. There is no assurance that our allowance for credit losses will be adequate to cover future credit losses, especially if credit markets, housing prices, and unemployment do not stabilize or improve. Increases in loan charge-offs or in the allowance for credit losses and related provision expense could materially adversely affect our financial results and condition. There is no assurance that we will meet the SCAP capital requirement on the November 9, 2009, deadline established by the Federal Reserve Board. Although we exceeded the requirement at September 30, 2009, our common equity capital could fall between now and the deadline, causing us not to meet the requirement. Failure to meet the requirement could result in the issuance of equity securities or the conversion of preferred securities into common stock, resulting in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance as to when or how we will repay the government's investment or that we will be able to repay the investment in a manner that does not require the issuance of equity securities resulting in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. For more information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, refer to our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2009, and June 30, 2009, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, including the discussions under "Risk Factors" in each of those reports, as filed with the SEC and available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Any factor described above or in our SEC reports could, by itself or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our financial results and condition.

(1)              Wells Fargo & Company (Wells Fargo) acquired Wachovia Corporation
                 (Wachovia) on December 31, 2008. Because the acquisition was
                 completed on December 31, 2008, Wachovia's results are included in
                 the income statement, average balances and related metrics beginning
                 in 2009. Wachovia's assets and liabilities are included in the
                 consolidated balance sheet beginning on December 31, 2008.
(2)              On January 1, 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance on
                 noncontrolling interests contained in FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation
                 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 160, Noncontrolling
                 Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB
                 No. 51), on a retrospective basis for disclosure and,
                 accordingly, prior period information reflects the adoption. The
                 guidance requires that noncontrolling interests be reported as a
                 component of total equity.
(3)              The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue
                 (net interest income and noninterest income).
(4)              Pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less
                 noninterest expense. Management believes that PTPP is a useful
                 financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess
                 the Company's ability to generate capital to cover credit losses
                 through a credit cycle.
(5)              Core deposits are noninterest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing
                 checking, savings certificates, market rate and other savings, and
                 certain foreign deposits (Eurodollar sweep balances).
(6)              Retail core deposits are total core deposits excluding Wholesale
                 Banking core deposits and retail mortgage escrow deposits.

                   acquisition was completed on December 31, 2008, the Tier 1 leverage
                   ratio at December 31, 2008, which considers period-end Tier 1
                   capital and quarterly average assets in the computation of the
                   ratio, does not reflect average assets of Wachovia for 2008.

(3) Consistent with regulatory reporting requirements, foreclosed
real estate securing Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA)
loans is classified as nonperforming. Both principal and interest
for GNMA loans secured by the foreclosed real estate are collectible
because the GNMA loans are insured by the Federal Housing
Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
(4) Includes real estate investments (contingent interest loans
accounted for as investments) that would be classified as nonaccrual
if these assets were recorded as loans, and nonaccrual debt
securities.

PURCHASED
CREDIT-IMPAIRED (PCI) LOANS
Certain loans acquired from Wachovia have evidence of credit
deterioration since origination and it is probable that we will not
collect all contractually required principal and interest payments
(referred to as "purchased credit-impaired"(PCI) loans). Such loans
are accounted for under ASC 310-30, Receivables (American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in
a Transfer). The accounting provisions contained in ASC 310-30
require acquired loans be recorded at fair value at the acquisition
date and prohibits carryover of the related allowance for loan
losses. The difference between contractually required payments and
cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the
nonaccretable difference. The difference between the cash flows
expected to be collected and the fair value is referred to as the
accretable yield.
Because PCI loans have been written down in purchase accounting to
an amount estimated to be collectible, such loans are not classified
as nonaccrual even though they may be contractually past due. Also,
losses on such loans are charged against the nonaccretable
difference established in purchase accounting and, as such, are not
reported as charge-offs.
As a result of the application of ASC 310-30 to credit-impaired
Wachovia loans, certain ratios of the combined company cannot be
used to compare a portfolio that includes PCI loans against one that
does not, or to compare ratios across quarters or years. The ratios
particularly affected by the accounting under ASC 310-30 include the
allowance for loan losses and allowance for credit losses as
percentages of loans, of nonaccrual loans and of nonperforming
assets; nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets as a percentage of
total loans; and net charge-offs as a percentage of loans.

(1) In the first three quarters of 2009, we refined certain of our
preliminary purchase accounting adjustments based on additional
information as of December 31, 2008. These refinements include a net
increase to the nonaccretable difference of $3.8 billion ($2.2
billion of which related to Pick-a-Pay loans), and a net increase to
the accretable yield of $1.9 billion ($2.0 billion of which related
to Pick-a-Pay loans and reflects changes in the amount and timing of
cash flows). The effect on goodwill of these adjustments amounted to
a net increase to goodwill of $1.9 billion.
CHANGES IN NONACCRETABLE DIFFERENCE FOR PCI LOANS
The nonaccretable difference was established in purchase accounting
for PCI loans to absorb losses expected at that time on those loans.
Amounts absorbed by the nonaccretable difference do not affect the
income statement or the allowance for credit losses.

CHANGES IN ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES FOR PCI LOANS
Deterioration in expected credit losses for PCI loans subsequent to
the acquisition on December 31, 2008, results the establishment of
an allowance, provided for through a charge to income. Losses and
improvements in expected losses will reduce the allowance.

(1) The current LTV ratio is calculated as the unpaid principal
balance plus the unpaid principal balance of any equity lines of
credit that share common collateral divided by the collateral
value. Collateral values are generally determined using automated
valuation models (AVM) and are updated quarterly. AVMs are
computer-based tools used to estimate market values of homes based
on processing large volumes of market data including market
comparables and price trends for local market areas.
(2) Carrying value, which does not reflect the allowance for loan
losses, includes purchase accounting adjustments, which, for PCI
loans, are the nonaccretable difference and the accretable yield,
and for all other loans, an adjustment to mark the loans to a
market yield at date of merger less any subsequent charge-offs.

(1) Because the Wachovia acquisition was completed on December 31,
2008, charge-offs and recoveries for 2008 include only those of
Wells Fargo, and exclude those of Wachovia for that period.
Purchased credit-impaired loans (PCI) loans from Wachovia are
included in total loans net of related purchase accounting
adjustments. For PCI loans, charge-offs are only recorded to the
extent that losses exceed the purchase accounting adjustments. The
Wachovia merger and the accounting for PCI loans both affect the
comparability of certain ratios as described on page 32.

(1) Because the Wachovia acquisition was completed on December 31,
2008, charge-offs and recoveries for 2008 include only those of
Wells Fargo, and exclude those of Wachovia for that period.
Purchased credit-impaired loans (PCI) loans from Wachovia are
included in total loans net of related purchase accounting
adjustments. For PCI loans, charge-offs are only recorded to the
extent that losses exceed the purchase accounting adjustments. The
Wachovia merger and the accounting for PCI loans both affect the
comparability of certain ratios as described on page 32.
(2) Provision for credit losses for the quarter ended December 31,
2008, included $3.9 billion to conform reserve practices of Wells
Fargo and Wachovia.

(1) On January 1, 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance on
noncontrolling interests contained in Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification 810-10 (ASC 810-10), Consolidation
(Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB
No. 51), on a retrospective basis for disclosure and,
accordingly, prior period information reflects the adoption. ASC
810-10 requires that noncontrolling interests be reported as a
component of total equity.
(2) The impact on prior periods of adopting new accounting
provisions for recording other-than-temporary impairment on debt
securities as prescribed in ASC 320-10, Investments - Debt and
Equity Securities (FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 115-2 and FAS
124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairments), was to increase the beginning balance of retained
earnings and reduce the beginning balance of other comprehensive
income by $85 million ($53 million after tax). The unrealized losses
in Wells Fargo other comprehensive income in the first nine months
of 2009 that related to factors other than credit, where the credit
portion was recorded as other-than-temporary impairment in earnings,
amounted to $1.04 billion ($654 million after tax).
(3) On January 1, 2008, we adopted new accounting guidance for
postretirement benefits in accordance with ASC 715, Compensation
- Retirement Benefits(Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue
No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement
Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance
Arrangements,and Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Collateral
Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements).
(4) We adjusted the 2008 beginning balance of retained earnings to
reflect the change in the measurement date for our pension and
postretirement plan assets and benefit obligations as required by
ASC 715, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (FAS 158, Employers'
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)).
(5) On March 31, 2009, we early adopted new fair value measurement
provisions contained in ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly). This guidance addresses determining fair values for
securities in circumstances where the market for such securities is
illiquid and transactions involve distressed sales. In such
circumstances, ASC 820-10 permits use of other inputs in estimating
fair value that may include pricing models.

(1) Tier 1 common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that is
used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies, including
the Federal Reserve in the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program,
to assess the capital position of financial services companies. Tier
1 common equity includes total Wells Fargo stockholders' equity,
less preferred equity, goodwill and intangible assets (excluding
MSRs), net of related deferred taxes, adjusted for specified Tier 1
regulatory capital limitations covering deferred taxes, MSRs, and
cumulative other comprehensive income. Management reviews Tier 1
common equity along with other measures of capital as part of its
financial analyses and has included this non-GAAP financial
information, and the corresponding reconciliation to total equity,
because of current interest in such information on the part of
market participants.
(2) Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital,
on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives
and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad
risk categories according to the obligor or, if relevant, the
guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar
amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight
associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from
each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total
risk-weighted assets. The Company's September 30, 2009, preliminary
risk-weighted assets reflect estimated on-balance sheet
risk-weighted assets of $848.5 billion and derivative and
off-balance sheet risk-weighted assets of $174.4 billion.

(1) The management accounting process measures the performance of
the operating segments based on our management structure and is not
necessarily comparable with other similar information for other
financial services companies. We define our operating segments by
product type and customer segment. As a result of the combination of
Wells Fargo and Wachovia, management realigned its segments into the
following three lines of business: Community Banking; Wholesale
Banking; and Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement. We revised prior
period information to reflect this realignment; however, segment
information for periods prior to first quarter 2009 does not include
Wachovia information.
(2) "Other" includes integration expenses and the elimination of
items that are included in both Community Banking and Wealth,
Brokerage and Retirement, largely representing wealth management
customers serviced and products sold in the stores.
(3) Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on
assets and the cost of liabilities to fund those assets. Interest
earned includes actual interest earned on segment assets and, if the
segment has excess liabilities, interest credits for providing
funding to other segments. The cost of liabilities includes interest
expense on segment liabilities and, if the segment does not have
enough liabilities to fund its assets, a funding charge based on the
cost of excess liabilities from another segment.
(4) Represents segment net income (loss) for Community Banking;
Wholesale Banking; and Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement segments and
Wells Fargo net income for the Consolidated Company.

(1) The management accounting process measures the performance of
the operating segments based on our management structure and is not
necessarily comparable with other similar information for other
financial services companies. We define our operating segments by
product type and customer segment. As a result of the combination of
Wells Fargo and Wachovia, management realigned its segments into the
following three lines of business: Community Banking; Wholesale
Banking; and Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement. We revised prior
period information to reflect this realignment; however, segment
information for periods prior to first quarter 2009 does not include
Wachovia information.
(2) Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on
assets and the cost of liabilities to fund those assets. Interest
earned includes actual interest earned on segment assets and, if the
segment has excess liabilities, interest credits for providing
funding to other segments. The cost of liabilities includes interest
expense on segment liabilities and, if the segment does not have
enough liabilities to fund its assets, a funding charge based on the
cost of excess liabilities from another segment.
(3) "Other" includes integration expenses and the elimination of
items that are included in both Community Banking and Wealth,
Brokerage and Retirement, largely representing wealth management
customers serviced and products sold in the stores. "Other" also
includes the $1.2 billion provision for credit losses recorded at
the enterprise level in fourth quarter 2008 to conform Wachovia
estimated loss emergence coverage periods to Wells Fargo policies.

Wachovia NEXT Awards for Opportunity Finance Honor Two Outstanding Community Development Financial

Two of the nation's top-performing Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) -- New Hampshire-based Community Loan Fund and Kentucky-based Federation of Appalachian Housing Enterprises (FAHE) -- are the recipients of the 2009 Wachovia NEXT Awards for Opportunity Finance. The two CDFIs will receive $8.25 million in grants and low-cost loans and will be honored on Wednesday, October 28th at the Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Community Loan Fund will receive $5.5 million -- a $5 million low-cost loan and a $500,000 unrestricted grant. The Community Loan Fund was selected for its expansion of an innovative financing program for manufactured housing mortgage loans, which has the potential to change mortgage financing in the manufactured home sector across the U.S. The Community Loan Fund turns investments into fixed-rate loans and education to create opportunity and transform the lives of people across New Hampshire. Since 1984 the Community Loan Fund has enabled 93 manufactured housing communities throughout New Hampshire, or 20 percent of the market in that state, to convert to resident ownership. The Community Loan Fund has financed more than 1,400 loans totaling more than $100 million, and leveraging more than $348 million, to build housing, create jobs, and support essential services like child care and community facilities.

FAHE will receive $2.75 million -- a $2.5 million low-cost loan and a $250,000 unrestricted grant. The Selection Committee chose FAHE for its innovation and bold strategy in eliminating substandard housing conditions prevalent in the Central Appalachian region. FAHE is the largest provider of community investment capital in highly distressed Central Appalachia. Last year, FAHE provided $41 million in direct financing and its members produced 3,800 housing units. This figure is on target against FAHE's bold goal to quadruple their performance and achieve 8,000 housing units annually by 2015.

CDFIs are market-driven, private sector institutions dedicated to meeting the financial needs of disadvantaged and hard-to-serve markets nationwide. They include banks, credit unions, loan funds, and venture capital funds. There are more than 700 CDFIs in the United States.

Since 2007, the Wachovia NEXT Awards for Opportunity Finance in partnership with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, has been run by and funded through OFN with support from the Wachovia Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The program recognizes excellence within the CDFI field and is designed to propel high-potential organizations to a next level of growth, success, and staying power.

A distinguished national selection committee chose the two recipients from a highly competitive field of seven semi-finalist organizations. The award amounts are based on each organization's asset size -- $5.5 million for CDFIs with assets over $50 million and $2.75 for those with assets in the $10-$50 million range.

"Each award recipient has blazed an unlikely trail on solid ground against expectations," said Mark Pinsky, president and CEO of the Philadelphia-based OFN, the leading national network of high-performance CDFIs. "These awards recognize the outstanding achievements and extraordinary future potential of two leading CDFIs. The Wachovia NEXT Awards also spotlight how the entire opportunity finance field benefits our nation's economy through responsible lending, investing, and financial services."

"We congratulate the Community Loan Fund and FAHE on their exceptional accomplishments in helping to transform underserved communities," said Michael Rizer, executive vice president for Wachovia, a Wells Fargo Company. "We're proud to continue our long-standing support for the opportunity finance industry with our investment in the Wachovia NEXT Awards for Opportunity Finance, which helps innovative, up-and-coming CDFIs grow and create even more economic opportunity for families and communities through access to credit."

"The services provided by CDFIs are especially critical today, as the country struggles with the economic crisis and access to capital is constrained," said Debra Schwartz, director of program related investments for the MacArthur Foundation. "We hope these awards will help more policymakers and investors appreciate the vital role that CDFIs play in our financial system and the valuable contributions they are poised to make in the years ahead."

Last year's awardees were IFF, based in Illinois and Homewise, Inc., located in New Mexico. IFF is using its $5.5 million award to support staff investments needed to expand its geographic, financing, and policy reach and to support their goal of doubling financing throughout the five-state region of Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Homewise is using its $2.75 million award to build organization infrastructure to expand geographically and replicate its unique, vertically integrated housing model with other CDFIs. They are also expanding their home purchase and improvement loans products in New Mexico.
