Wells Fargo & Co., disposing of units to simplify operations, agreed to sell its corporate trust business to Australia’s Computershare Ltd. for $750 million.

About 2,000 employees will transfer to Computershare as part of a transaction that’s expected to close in the latter half of this year, Wells Fargo said Tuesday in a statement. The buyer said the business will complement its presence in North America.
