·, 2006 | |
| Expected Settlement Date: |
·, 2006 | |
| Maturity Date: |
·, 2008 | |
| Principal Amount: |
Each note will have a principal amount of $10. Each note will be offered at an initial public offering price of $10. | |
| Interest: |
Wachovia will not pay you interest during the term of the notes. | |
| Market Measure: |
The return on the notes, in excess of the principal amount, is linked to the performance of an equally-weighted basket (the “basket”) of the following six currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar: the Japanese Yen, the Chinese Renminbi (Yuan), the Singapore Dollar, the Indonesian Rupiah, the Philippine Peso and the Indian Rupee (each, a “basket currency”, and collectively, the “basket currencies”). | |
| Payment at Maturity: |
At maturity, for each note you own, you will receive a cash payment equal to the sum of $10 and the basket performance amount. The basket performance amount per note will equal the greater of (i) $0, and (ii) the product of the principal amount of the note and the average currency appreciation. The average currency appreciation will equal the arithmetic mean of the percentage change in the value of the exchange rate of each basket currency relative to the U.S. Dollar. If the average currency appreciation is greater than zero, then the average currency appreciation used in calculating the basket performance amount will in no event be less than ·% (to be determined on the pricing date) (the “minimum average currency appreciation”). If the average currency appreciation is less than or equal to zero, the basket performance amount will be $0, and the maturity payment amount will be $10. | |
| Principal Protection: |
The notes are fully principal protected and will pay 100% of the principal amount of your notes at maturity, subject to Wachovia’s ability to its obligations. | |
| Listing: |
Wachovia has applied to list the notes on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “AWO”. If Wachovia is unable to list the notes on the American Stock Exchange, the notes will not be listed or displayed on any other securities exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or any electronic communications network. | |

Considerations for Investors
Who should consider an investment in the notes?
Investors who are willing to hold the notes to maturity; who seek an investment with a return linked to the basket currency exchange rates and who believe that the basket currency exchange rates, when averaged together, will decrease over the term of the notes (i.e., that over the term of the notes, when averaged together, fewer units of the basket currencies will be needed to buy a given amount of U.S. Dollars and the basket currencies will, when averaged together, appreciate in value against the U.S. Dollar); and who seek to protect their investment by receiving at least 100% of the principal amount of their investment at maturity.
Who should not consider an investment in the notes?
The notes are not designed for, and may not be a suitable investment for, investors who are unable or unwilling to hold the notes to maturity; who require an investment that yields regular returns; who believe that the basket currency exchange rates, when averaged together, are likely to increase or remain unchanged over the term of the notes (i.e., that over the term of the notes, when averaged together, more or the same number of units of the basket currencies will be needed to buy a given amount of U.S. Dollars and the basket currencies will, when averaged together, depreciate or remain unchanged in value against the U.S. Dollar); or who seek a more aggressive leveraged investment with exposure to both the full upside performance as well as the full downside performance risk of the basket currency exchange rates.

Risk Factors
Yield may be lower. The yield that you will receive on your notes, which could be zero, may be less than the return you could earn on other investments. Even if your yield is positive, your yield may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a standard senior non-callable debt security of Wachovia with the same maturity date.
There may not be an active trading market. We have applied to list the notes on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “AWO”. We cannot predict whether or when the American Stock Exchange will approve our application or whether this offering will satisfy the listing criteria of the American Stock Exchange. If we are unable to list the notes on the American Stock Exchange, the notes will not be listed or displayed on any other securities exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or any electronic communications network. You should be aware that even if the notes are listed on the American Stock Exchange, a liquid trading market will not necessarily develop for the notes. The development of a trading market for the notes will depend on our financial performance and other factors such as the increase, if any, in the value of the basket. Even if a secondary market for the notes develops, it may not provide significant liquidity and we expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and asked prices for your notes in any secondary market could be substantial. If you sell your notes before maturity, you may have to do so at a discount from the initial public offering price, and, as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
A sale prior to maturity may generate a loss. The market price of the notes at any given time may be affected by many factors, including, among other things, the performance of the basket, market views on Wachovia Corporation’s ability to pay its debt obligations, current interest rates. If you do not hold your securities until maturity, the market price may be less than the maturity payment on the securities, and you may experience a loss.
Currency exchange risk. The basket currency exchange rates are a result of the supply of and demand for each currency, and changes in foreign exchange rates may result from the interactions of many factors including economic, financial, social and political conditions in the United States, Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India. These conditions include, for example, the overall growth and performance of the economies of the United States, Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India; the trade and current account balances between the U.S. on the one hand and Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India on the other; the financing and capital account balances between the U.S. on the one hand Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India on the other; market interventions by the Federal Reserve Board or the respective governmental and banking authorities responsible for setting foreign exchange policies in Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India; inflation, interest rate levels, the performance of stock markets, and the stability of the governments and banking systems in the United States, Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India; wars that any of the United States, Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India are directly or indirectly involved in or wars that occur anywhere in the world; major natural disasters in the United States, Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India; and other foreseeable and unforeseeable events.
Non-U.S. and emerging markets risks. Exchange rates of the currencies of most economically developed nations and of many other nations, including Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India, are “floating,” meaning they are permitted to fluctuate in value relative to the U.S. Dollar. However, governments of many nations, from time to time, do not allow their currencies to float freely in response to economic forces. Governments, including the governments of Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India, use a variety of techniques, such as intervention by their central banks or imposition of regulatory controls or taxes, to affect the exchange rates of their respective currencies. Governments may also issue a new currency to replace an existing currency or alter its exchange rate or relative exchange characteristics by devaluing or revaluing the currency. Thus, a special risk in purchasing the notes is that their liquidity, trading value and amounts payable could be affected by the actions of the governments of Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and India that could change or interfere with currency valuations that are currently determined primarily by the markets, by fluctuations in response to other market forces, and the movement of currencies across borders. There will be no adjustment or change in the terms of the notes if exchange rates become fixed, if there is any devaluation or revaluation or imposition of exchange or other regulatory
2
controls or taxes, if there is an issuance of a replacement currency, or if other developments affect any or all of the basket currencies, the U.S. Dollar, or any other currency.
Potential conflicts of interest. Wachovia or its affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in trading activities related to the basket currencies and the U.S. Dollar that are not for the account of holders of the notes or on their behalf. These trading activities may represent a conflict between holders’ interest in the notes and the interests Wachovia and its affiliates will have in their proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions for their customers and in accounts under their management. In addition, Wachovia or one or more of our affiliates has published and may in the future publish research on foreign exchange markets, exchange rates and other matters that may have an influence on currency exchange rates. This research may be modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the notes. This research should not be viewed as a recommendation or endorsement of the notes in any way, and investors must make their own independent investigation of the merits of this investment. Furthermore, the inclusion of commissions and projected profits from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices.
Certain Tax Considerations
The notes will be treated as debt instruments subject to special rules governing contingent payment debt obligations for United States federal income tax purposes. If you are a U.S. individual or taxable entity, you generally will be required to pay taxes on ordinary income from the notes over their term based on the comparable yield for the notes, even though you will not receive any payments from us until maturity. This comparable yield is determined solely to calculate the amount on which you will be taxed prior to maturity and is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of what the actual yield will be. In addition, any gain you may recognize on the sale or maturity of the notes will be taxed as ordinary interest income. If you are a secondary purchaser of the notes, the tax consequences to you may be different. All individuals who are considering an investment in the notes should read in its entirety the section entitled “Supplemental Tax Considerations” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
Historical Information About the Basket Currencies
We have obtained all information concerning historical levels of the basket currencies from publicly available sources (typically Bloomberg), without verification of its accuracy. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information concerning the component indices.
The following table sets forth the published high and low levels in the interbank market of the each of the basket currency exchange rates in each calendar quarter from January 1, 2003 through September 30, 2006 and the period from October 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. On October 31, 2006 the Japanese Yen/U.S. Dollar exchange rate was 116.9800, the Chinese Renminbi (Yuan)/U.S. Dollar exchange rate was 7.8790, the Singapore Dollar/U.S. Dollar exchange rate was 1.5564, the Indonesian Rupiah/U.S. Dollar exchange rate was 9094.0000, the Philippine Peso/U.S. Dollar exchange rate was 49.7700, and the Indian Rupee/U.S. Dollar exchange rate was 45.0275. This historical data on the basket currencies is not indicative of the future levels of the basket currencies or what the market value of the notes may be. Any historical upward or downward trend in the levels of the basket currencies is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of the notes.

closing values of the basket, as calculated solely for the purposes of the offering of the notes, fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the closing values of the basket during any period shown below is not an indication that the annual percentage change in the value of the basket is more likely to be positive or negative during the term of the notes. The historical values do not give an indication of future values of the basket. We cannot make any assurance that the future values of the basket, or the future values of the basket currencies will result in holders of the notes receiving a maturity payment amount greater than the principal amount of their notes on the maturity date. We do not make any representation to you as to the performance of the basket or the basket currencies. We obtained the closing values of the basket currencies used to calculate the historical values of the basket from Bloomberg Financial Markets, without independent verification. The actual values of the basket currencies and the basket at or near the valuation date may bear little relation to the historical values shown below.
The following graph depicts the historical performance of the basket as it would have occurred from January 1, 2000 to October 31, 2006, as though the basket had been in existence since January 1, 2000 with a starting level of $10 and initial basket currency exchange rates for the basket currencies determined as of that date. An increase in the level of the basket corresponds to a decrease in the basket currency exchange rates, and a decrease in the level of the basket corresponds to an increase in the basket currency exchange rates. Any historical upward or downward trend in the level of the basket during any period shown below is not an indication that the level of the basket is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of the notes. The historical values of the basket do not give any indication of the future performance of the basket and Wachovia cannot make any assurance regarding the future performance of the basket.
