FOLLOW UP OF INGE THULIN’S E-MAIL — REMINDER FOR 3M EMPLOYEE STOCKHOLDERS TO VOTE
May 7, 2013
DEAR FELLOW 3M EMPLOYEE STOCKHOLDER:
An e-mail was sent to you from our Chairman and CEO Inge Thulin dated March 28, 2013, containing your proxy materials in connection with 3M Company’s Annual Stockholder Meeting to be held on Tuesday, May 14, 2013. According to our records, your voting instructions for this meeting have not been received. Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that you vote your shares.
Please take a moment to vote your proxy at your earliest convenience. Please read carefully and consider the information contained in the Company’s Proxy Statement, including a recent letter by Inge Thulin to 3M stockholders dated April 10, 2013 (attached below) explaining why 3M and its Board of Directors oppose two stockholder proposals and seeking your support in opposing these two proposals.
Since the Annual Meeting is fast approaching, we encourage you to vote as soon as you can.
If you have already voted and do not wish to change your instructions, there is no need to resubmit your vote.
Thank you for your action.
