Financing Activities Cash provided by financing activities decreased $238 million in 2009 compared to
2008. This net decrease from financing activities was primarily due to the change in WFBs borrowing of time
deposits, which WFB utilizes to fund its credit card operations, decreasing $8 million in 2009 compared to a net
increase of $326 million in 2008. Our lines of credit, short and long-term debt, and the variable funding facility of
WFB, decreased $26 million in 2009 compared to a decrease of $129 million in 2008.
Effective December 11, 2009, we decreased our unsecured revolving credit facility to $350 million from $430
million. In addition, we amended the terms of the credit agreement to allow us to contribute up to $225 million of
capital to WFB in 2010 plus up to $25 million of capital per year through June 30, 2012, when this credit agreement
expires. We paid fees totaling $1.85 million to facilitate the amendment. All other terms of the credit agreement
remained unchanged. The credit facility may be increased to $450 million and permits the issuance of up to $200
million in letters of credit and standby letters of credit, which reduce the overall credit limit available under the credit
facility. There were no amounts outstanding at January 2, 2010, under this credit agreement. Advances under the
credit facility are used for general business purposes, including working capital support.
