ITEM 5. Other Events
------------
On April 27, 2000, Wells Fargo Asset Securities Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), sold Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2000-1, Class I-A-1, Class I-A-2, Class I-A-3, Class I-A-4,
Class I-A-5, Class I-A-R, Class I-A-PO, Class II-A-1, Class II-A-PO, Class B-1,
Class B-2, Class B-3 (the "Offered Certificates"), having an aggregate original
principal balance of $258,961,760. The Offered Certificates were issued pursuant
to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2000, among the
Registrant, Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, as master servicer
(the "Master Servicer" or "Norwest Bank") and First Union National Bank, as
trustee (the "Agreement"), a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto.
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000-1, Class B-4, Class B-5 and
Class B-6 Certificates, having an aggregate initial principal balance of
$1,694,888.63 (the "Private Class B Certificates" and, together with the Offered
Certificates, the "Certificates"), were also issued pursuant to the Agreement.
As of the date of initial issuance, the Offered Certificates
evidenced an approximate 99.35% undivided interest in a trust fund (the "Trust
Estate"), consisting principally of two pools of fixed interest rate,
conventional, monthly pay, fully-amortizing, one- to four-family residential
first mortgage loans, other than the Fixed Retained Yield (as defined in the
Agreement), which may include loans secured by shares issued by cooperative
housing corporations. Some of the mortgage loans were originated in connection
with the relocation of employees by various corporate employers that
participated in the relocation program of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Inc. and of
the employees of various non-participant employers. The remaining undivided
interests in the Trust Estate are evidenced by the Private Class B Certificates.
Distributions on the Private Class B Certificates are subordinated to
distributions on the Offered Certificates.
Interest on the Offered Certificates will be distributed on each
Distribution Date (as defined in the Agreement). Monthly distributions in
reduction of the principal balance of the Offered Certificates will be allocated
to the Offered Certificates in accordance with the priorities set forth in the
Agreement. Distributions of interest and in reduction of principal balance on
any Distribution Date will be made to the extent that the Pool Distribution
Amounts are sufficient therefor.
An election will be made to treat the Trust Estate as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes (the "REMIC"). The Class I-A-1, Class I-A-2, Class
I-A-3, Class I-A-4, Class I-A-5, Class I-A-PO, Class II-A-1, Class II-A-PO,
Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates
will be treated as "regular interests" in the REMIC and the Class I-A-R
Certificate will be treated as the "residual interest" in the REMIC.
