Lead Plaintiffs in In re Wells Fargo & Company Shareholder Derivative Litigation have indicated that they intend to move to consolidate these two actions to the extent that Lead Plaintiffs believe that the Amended Complaint includes claims currently at issue in In re Wells Fargo & Company Shareholder Derivative Litigation. This stipulation is entered into subject to further discussion among the parties and potential motion practice concerning consolidation and/or clarification concerning the portions of the Amended Complaint that Plaintiff Feuer or the Court deems operative for purposes of motions to dismiss.
