Wells Fargo Funds

December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Multi-Sector Income Fund for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2019. In late 2018, investor concerns about U.S. interest rate policy, trade tensions, and geopolitical events drove equity losses and restrained bond returns. Thanks to a shift in U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and positive economic and business growth metrics during the first four months of 2019, stock and bond markets globally enjoyed a consistent move higher.

For the period, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,¹ gained 9.76% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),² added 9.12%. Based on the MSCI EM Index (Net)³, emerging market stocks added 13.76%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index⁴ added 5.49% while the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index⁵ added 3.25%. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index⁶ added 5.68%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index⁷ gained 5.55%.

Conflicting data unsettled markets as 2018 ended.

November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging potential partisan clashes. Third-quarter U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008.

December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (100 basis points equal 1.00%) in December 2018 to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50% and softened its outlook for 2019 rate increases.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited) Wells Fargo Multi-Sector Income Fund 3

The market climbs a wall of worry.

Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan spending and immigration policy disputes extended into January 2019. Investors expected high levels of stock market volatility to continue based on the VIX⁸.

January’s returns tended to support the investing adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month that ended January 31, 2019, its best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.

In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth reemerged. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the 4.2% annualized rate for the second quarter and the 3.4% annualized rate for the third quarter. Analysts attributed the lower growth rate to a slowing housing market and larger trade deficit. The U.S. Department of Labor said that the economy created just 20,000 jobs in February 2019. In a February 2019 report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S., while putting future tariffs on hold for the time being, continued to wrangle over trade issues.

By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and consistent, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ enthusiasm for equity investing. Monthly job creation data regained its momentum. Corporate profits, while lower than 2018’s lofty levels, were still solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.

During April 2019, the several broad-based U.S. equity indices reached or approached highs as investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. As expected, the Fed chose not to increase rates at its April 2019 meeting. The initial estimate of the first-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.20%, reflecting growth in business investment and exports. The favorable sentiment appeared to extend to investors’ outlooks for foreign investments as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11%.

Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.

Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.

January’s returns tended to support the investing adage that markets climb a wall of worry.

Notice to shareholders

On November 9, 2018, the Fund announced an extension of its open-market share repurchase program (the “Buyback Program”). Under the extended Buyback Program, the Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding shares during the period in open-market transactions beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019. The Fund’s Board of Trustees has delegated to Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the Fund’s adviser, discretion to administer the Buyback Program including the determination of the amount and timing of repurchases in accordance with the best interests of the Fund and subject to applicable legal limitations.

The Fund’s managed distribution plan provides for the declaration of monthly distributions to common shareholders of the Fund at an annual minimum fixed rate of 9% based on the Fund’s average monthly NAV per share over the prior 12 months. Under the managed distribution plan, monthly distributions may be sourced from income, paid-in capital, and/or capital gains, if any. To the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, the Fund may distribute paid-in capital and/or capital gains, if any, in order to maintain its managed distribution level. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s distributions or from the terms of the managed distribution plan. Shareholders may elect to reinvest distributions received pursuant to the managed distribution plan in the Fund under the existing dividend reinvestment plan, which is described later in this report.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the sales of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Performance figures of the Fund do not reflect brokerage commissions that a shareholder would pay on the purchase and sale of shares. If taxes and such brokerage commissions had been reflected, performance would have been lower. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call 1-800-222-8222.

The Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the six months ended April 30, 2019, was 2.32% which includes 1.35% of interest expense.

Comparison of NAV vs. market value⁸

The Fund is leveraged through a revolving credit facility and also may incur leverage by issuing preferred shares in the future. The use of leverage results in certain risks, including, among others, the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and the market value of common shares. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. These risks are generally intensified in emerging markets. Derivatives involve additional risks, including interest rate risk, credit risk, the risk of improper valuation, and the risk of noncorrelation to the relevant instruments that they are designed to hedge or closely track. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The Fund is exposed to mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. This closed-end fund is no longer available as an initial public offering and is only offered through broker-dealers on the secondary market. A closed-end fund is not required to buy its shares back from investors upon request.

MANAGERS’ DISCUSSION

The Fund’s return based on market value was 12.73% for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2019. During the same period, the Fund’s return based on its net asset value (NAV) was 6.88%. On the basis of increases in the market value and NAV of its shares, the Fund outperformed the Multi-Sector Income Blended Index, which gained 5.80% over the same period.

A fairly consistent economic environment was the backdrop for fixed-income markets during the period.

For the six-month period that ended April 30, 2019, U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index⁹, outperformed U.S. Treasury bonds of similar duration by approximately 147 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%). Negative performance from November and December 2018 was more than offset by spread tightening seen in in the first four months of 2019 as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) pivoted to a more dovish stance. Securitized sectors, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Securitized Index, also outperformed U.S. Treasuries of similar duration, with an excess return of approximately 16 bps. Outperformance was driven by the non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) sector. The CMBS sector generated 188 bps of excess return compared with Treasuries of similar duration in 2019 through April 30, which more than compensated for 93 bps of negative excess return in November and December of 2018. Asset-backed securities (ABS) and private-label collateralized mortgage obligations also outperformed Treasuries over the most recent six-month period, with performance in 2019 through April 30 more than making up for the underperformance experienced in November and December of 2018. In general, lower-rated segments of these sectors posted larger positive excess returns when compared with bonds in the sectors that were rated AAA.

During the period, high-yield investing was supported by solid and consistent gross domestic product (GDP) growth, lack of aggressive issuance over the past several years, and the tail winds from tax reform in the U.S. high-yield spreads over Treasuries narrowed during the six-month period, offsetting a rise in interest rates. Over the six-month period, lower-quality bonds outperformed higher-rated issues—not unusual in the latter stages of an economic cycle when interest rates begin to rise.

The reporting period was a positive one for emerging markets, coinciding with a sharp move lower in U.S. bond yields. Weaker macroeconomic data prompted dovish turns from central banks in core developed markets, which supported higher-yielding markets and moved yields lower. Currencies were mixed versus the U.S. dollar, with strong gains in some (Mexican peso, Indonesian rupiah) contrasting with material weakness in others (Argentine peso, Turkish lira). The Fund maintained its tilt toward higher-yielding emerging markets over the reporting period. At a regional level, this is expressed by heavier weights in Asia and Latin America. Exposure to Indonesia was increased, and country duration was lengthened. After a period of strong gains, the Fund took profits on long-dated bonds from Mexico and New Zealand. In Mexico, holdings of a bond maturing in 2046 were switched to a bond maturing in 2029. In New Zealand, overall exposure was reduced by 2.3% alongside the switch from a bond maturing in 2037 to one maturing in 2029.

Contributors to performance included securitized sectors, high-yield bond security selection, and selected countries.

Within the mortgage and corporate sleeve of the Fund, an overweight to corporate sectors generally was the largest contributor. Securitized holdings generally added value during the period with CMBS, ABS, and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) the largest contributors. Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) contributed modestly.

Within the Fund’s high-yield portfolio sleeve, industry allocation was net positive over the period, led largely by allocations to energy, offset by negative selection. Outperformance within packaging and underweights to and positive selection within wirelines and metals/mining were the largest contributors. Ratings allocation benefited performance modestly, primarily from an underweight to bonds rated CCC.

Credit quality as of April 30, 2019¹¹

Within the Fund’s allocation to international and emerging market bonds, exposure to the bond markets of India, Indonesia, and Brazil added the most value. At the currency level, several emerging market currencies made ground against the U.S. dollar over the reporting period. The Mexican peso, Indonesian rupiah, and Indian rupee performed particularly well.

Selected securities, sector allocations, and the strength of the U.S. dollar restrained performance.

The Fund’s mortgage/corporate credit sleeve holdings in certain residential MBS and CMBS positions modestly detracted from performance during the period due to security-specific prepayment and ratings changes.

The main detractors from Fund performance in the high-yield sleeve were selection and holdings in oil-field services, technology, health care, transportation services, and media/entertainment. Maturity allocations had little impact on performance over the period.

Within international and emerging market bonds, the Brazilian real traded with a weakening bias over the reporting period, and the Fund’s exposure thus detracted from overall performance. The holding of Malaysian government bonds was also a negative.

The management teams of the Fund’s portfolio sleeves have favorable market outlooks but remain risk-aware.

The Fund’s mortgage and corporate bond sleeve viewed credit fundamentals as relatively stable during the period as gross leverage and interest coverage were flat on a year-over-year basis while revenues and cash flow continued to grow. Profit margins remained near their recent highs. The demand/supply balance was generally favorable for the sector in the first quarter as issuance was a bit lower than year-ago levels while demand picked up from both foreign buyers and retail investors. From a valuation perspective, spread levels at quarter-end presented reasonably attractive carry—the incremental income generated by a bond when compared with Treasuries of comparable maturity—but not much potential for additional tightening in the view of the team. Consequently, the team anticipates targeting a neutral to modestly overweight position in the sector, with a bias toward mid- to high-BBB issues. Team members continue to believe that financials are attractive relative to industrials, though they see opportunities in select BBB-rated industrial names. Within securitized sectors, the team is focused on shorter-duration cash flows in the senior part of the capital structure as credit fundamentals remain stable. Approximately 64% of the mortgage/corporate bond sleeve exposure is in corporate credit and around 33% is in fixed-rate and floating-rate mortgage securities. The largest industry exposures in the credit sector include banks, media and entertainment, and technology companies.

The high-yield team believes economic fundamentals are on solid footing, with a healthy consumer offset by softness among cyclical areas of the economy. The initial first-quarter 2019 GDP report was above expectations with an annualized growth rate of 3.2%. Looking through the GDP data, the growth dynamics were less strong as a significant portion of the growth came from a build in inventories and a likely temporary decline in imports. Nonetheless, consumer spending is showing strong momentum, capital spending plans have recovered, and the most recent employment report improved confidence that the shock from the equity sell-off in late 2018 is wearing off. Furthermore, the decline in Treasury rates and the Fed’s signal of being on hold as opposed to raising rates in 2019 should improve home and auto sales or, at a minimum, stabilize the decline that those areas have been experiencing. Such conditions should be a positive backdrop for credit in an environment of relatively low and stable rates with solid but not overly strong economic growth or material inflationary pressure. A material slowdown in Europe and/or an escalation in the U.S.-China trade war pose possibly the most visible risks to the U.S. economy currently.

In the view of the team managing the Fund’s international and emerging market bond sleeve, tepid global growth and muted inflationary pressures provide a constructive backdrop for sovereign bond investing, and there have been good inflows into emerging markets so far in 2019. Trade tensions and geopolitical noise pose a risk, however, and have the potential to damage sentiment. Increased selectivity is key for the quarters ahead.

36 Wells Fargo Multi-Sector Income Fund Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Wells Fargo Multi-Sector Income Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware on April 10, 2003 and is registered as a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities valuation

All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.

Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.

Equity securities that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the principal exchange or market that day, a fair value price will be determined in accordance with the Fund’s Valuation Procedures.

The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”).

Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee which may include items for ratification.

Foreign currency translation

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are converted at the rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually paid or received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities resulting from changes in exchange rates. The changes in net assets arising from changes in exchange rates of securities and the changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities are not separately presented. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) Wells Fargo Multi-Sector Income Fund 37

When-issued transactions

The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Loans

The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders by corporate or other borrowers. The loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. Investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When the Fund purchases participations, it generally has no rights to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan and may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. Loans may include fully funded term loans or unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding.

Security transactions and income recognition

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.

Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.

Distributions to shareholders

Under a monthly distribution plan, the Fund pays distributions to shareholders at an annual minimum fixed rate of 9% based on the Fund’s average monthly net asset value per share over the prior 12 months. The monthly distributions may be sourced from income, paid-in capital, and/or capital gains, if any. To the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, the Fund may distribute paid-in capital and/or capital gains, if any, in order to maintain its managed distribution level.

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and any net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.

Federal and other taxes

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.

The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

As of April 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $608,089,801 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:

Gross unrealized gains	$	13,193,277
Gross unrealized losses		(42,668,333	)
Net unrealized losses	$	(29,475,056	)

38 Wells Fargo Multi-Sector Income Fund Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

As of October 31, 2018, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $11,604,833 in short-term capital losses and $14,769,863 in long-term capital losses.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:

∎ Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

∎ Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

∎ Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of April 30, 2019:

The loan obligations in the Level 3 table were valued using indicative broker quotes. These indicative broker quotes are considered Level 3 inputs. Quantitative unobservable inputs used by the brokers are often proprietary and not provided to the Fund and therefore the disclosure that would address these inputs is not included above.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Advisory fee

Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”) is the adviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee at an annual rate of 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily total assets. Total assets consist of net assets of the Fund plus borrowings or other leverage for investment purposes to the extent excluded in calculating net assets.

Funds Management has retained the services of certain subadvisers to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fees for subadvisory services are borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is a subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate of 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily total assets. Wells Fargo Asset Management (International), LLC, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is also a subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily total assets.

Administration fee

Funds Management also serves as the administrator to the Fund, providing the Fund with a wide range of administrative services necessary to the operation of the Fund. Funds Management is entitled to receive an annual administration fee from the Fund equal to 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily total assets.

Interfund transactions

The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices.

5. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

The Fund has authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares with no par value. For the six months ended April 30, 2019 and the year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund did not issue any shares.

On November 9, 2018, the Fund announced an extension of its open-market share repurchase program (the “Buyback Program”). Under the Buyback Program, the Fund may to repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding shares in open-market transactions beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019. The Fund’s Board of Trustees had delegated to Funds Management full discretion to administer the Buyback Program including the determination of the amount and timing of repurchases in accordance with the best interests of the Fund and subject to applicable legal limitations. During the six months ended April 30, 2019, the Fund purchased 826,455 of its shares on the open-market at a total cost of $9,919,812 (weighted average price per share of $11.99). The weighted average discount of these repurchased shares was 9.34 %.

6. BORROWINGS

The Fund has borrowed $173,000,000 through a revolving credit facility administered by a major financial institution (the “Facility”). The Facility has a commitment amount of $230,000,000 with no specific contract expiration date but the Facility can be terminated upon 180 days’ notice. The Fund is charged interest at London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.70% and a commitment fee of 0.30% of the average daily unutilized amount of the commitment which may be waived if the amount drawn on the Facility is over 75% of the committed amount. The financial institution holds a security interest in all the assets of the Fund as collateral for the borrowing. Based on the nature of the terms of the Facility and comparative market rates, the carrying amount of the borrowings at April 30, 2019 approximates its fair value. If measured at fair value, the borrowings would be categorized as a Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.

During the six months ended April 30, 2019, the Fund had average borrowings outstanding of $173,696,133 at an average interest rate of 3.18% and paid interest in the amount of $2,740,296, which represents 1.35% of its average daily net assets (on an annualized basis).

7. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended April 30, 2019 were $42,551,122 and $74,609,460, respectively.

As of April 30, 2019, the Fund had unfunded term loan commitments of $372,375.

8. INDEMNIFICATION

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.ASU 2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance to the financial statements.

Automatic dividend reinvestment plan Wells Fargo Multi-Sector Income Fund 45

AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

All common shareholders are eligible to participate in the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“the Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, unless a common shareholder is ineligible or elects otherwise, all cash dividends and capital gains distributions are automatically reinvested by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as agent for shareholders in administering the Plan (“Plan Agent”), in additional common shares of the Fund. Whenever the Fund declares an ordinary income dividend or a capital gain dividend (collectively referred to as “dividends”) payable either in shares or in cash, nonparticipants in the Plan will receive cash, and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The shares are acquired by the Plan Agent for the participant’s account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“newly issued common shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open-market (open-market purchases) on the NYSE Amex or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any dividend or distribution, the net asset value per share of the common shares is equal to or less than the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (“market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the amount of such dividend or distribution in newly issued shares on behalf of the participant. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to the participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per share on the date the shares are issued, provided that the maximum discount from the then current market price per share on the date of issuance may not exceed 5%. If on the dividend payment date the net asset value per share is greater than the market value (“market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participant in open-market purchases. There will be no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of dividends or capital gains distributions payable either in shares or in cash. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at 505000, Louisville, Kentucky 40233 or by calling 1-800-730-6001.
