Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator of
MSD Puerto Rico Savings & Security Plan (formerly known as the MSD Puerto Rico Employee Savings and Security Plan)
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of MSD Puerto Rico Savings & Security Plan (formerly known as the MSD Puerto Rico Employee Savings and Security Plan) (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MSD Puerto Rico Savings & Security Plan
(formerly known as the MSD Puerto Rico Employee Savings and Security Plan)
Notes to Financial Statements
 

1.
Description of Plan
The following description of the MSD Puerto Rico Savings & Security Plan (formerly known as the MSD Puerto Rico Employee Savings and Security Plan) (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan established effective July 1, 1997. The Plan is a profit sharing plan designed to provide an opportunity for employees of MSD International GmbH (Puerto Rico Branch) LLC, Merck Sharp & Dohme de Puerto Rico, Inc., MSD Supply Services, Inc., and the Puerto Rico branch of Merck Sharp & Dohme (I.A.) LLC (the “Companies”) to become shareholders of Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck” or the “Company”) as well as a systematic means of saving and investing for the future. Regular full-time and part-time employees of the Companies, as defined in the Plan document, who have completed at least one year of employment and are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, are eligible to enroll in the Plan. MSD International GmbH (Puerto Rico Branch) LLC, a branch of MSD International GmbH, a Swiss limited liability company, is the Plan sponsor (the “Sponsor”). The Plan’s recordkeeper is Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company (“Fidelity” or the “Recordkeeper”). Banco Popular de Puerto Rico serves as the Plan’s trustee (the “Trustee”).
Participants direct the investment of their contributions into any fund investment option available under the Plan, including Merck common stock. At December 31, 2013, the Plan offered five (5) registered investment companies (mutual funds), four (4) common/collective trusts, and 14 separately managed accounts.
The Plan is administered by management committees appointed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of Merck or their delegates.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
Merger with Affiliated Plan
On December 31, 2013, the assets of The Schering-Plough Puerto Rico Employees’ Retirement Savings Plan merged into the Plan. Effective January 1, 2014, participants of The Schering-Plough Puerto Rico Employees’ Retirement Savings Plan became eligible to participate in the MSD Puerto Rico Savings & Security Plan.
Master Trust
A portion of the assets of the Plan are maintained, for investment purposes only, with all the assets of the MSD Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan, the Merck US Savings Plan, and the Telerx Marketing, Inc. 401(k) Plan in a single master trust (the “Master Trust”). The Plan participates in the Master Trust for the specific limited purpose of enabling participants in the Plan to invest in separately managed accounts, common/collective trusts and certain registered investment companies that are recordkept and trusteed pursuant to the Master Trust agreement. The plans do not own specific Master Trust assets but rather maintain individual beneficial interests in such assets.
The portion of fund assets allocable to each plan is based upon the participants’ account balance within each plan. Investment income for each fund is allocated to each plan based on the relationship of each plan’s beneficial interest in the fund to the total beneficial interest of all plans in the fund.
Contributions
Participants may contribute up to 15% of their base pay, provided that pre-tax contributions shall not exceed 10% of base compensation. Also, pre-tax contributions shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) $15,000 or such other amount as in effect under Section 402(g) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “U.S. Code”) or Section 1081.01(d)(7)(A) of the P.R. Code; or (ii) in the case of highly compensated employees, the average actual deferral percentage limit. Further, pre-tax contribution limits are computed aggregating all pre-tax contributions made to two or more plans described in U.S. Code Section 401(k) maintained by the Company and/or its affiliates, as if they were one single arrangement.
In addition, the Companies match 50% of pre-tax and after-tax contributions up to 5% of each participant’s base compensation applicable to the pay period in which the contribution is being made. Participant and Companies’ matching contributions are invested according to a participant’s elections.

Notes to Financial Statements
 

Settlements
The Plan recorded receivables related to court-approved settlements to be distributed to the Plan in connection with ERISA lawsuits (“ERISA Lawsuits”). The ERISA Lawsuits are consolidated class actions alleging breaches of fiduciary duty by the Company by causing or permitting the Plan to imprudently invest in Merck common stock or failing to provide material information regarding Merck common stock to Plan participants.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the Companies’ contributions, and an allocation of Plan earnings. The allocation is based on participants’ account balances, as defined in the Plan document.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, all Companies’ matching contributions, plus actual earnings thereon.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow from their account balances with interest charged at the prime rate plus 1%. Loan terms range from one to five years for a short-term loan or up to thirty years for the purchase of a primary residence and bear interest at rates that range from 4.25% to 10%. The minimum loan is $500 and the maximum loan is the lesser of (i) $50,000 less the highest outstanding loan balance(s) during the one year period prior to the new loan application date, or (ii) 50% of the participant’s account balance less any current outstanding loan balance(s) and defaulted loan amounts.
Payment of Benefits
Participants are entitled to receive automatic, voluntary, in-service (which include hardship withdrawals), or mandatory distributions as provided in the applicable Plan provisions.
Other Matters
Transfers in during 2013 relate to transfers between the Plan and the MSD Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan and the Merck US Savings Plan for employees who changed their status during the year.
2.
Summary of Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Management believes that these estimates are adequate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
All investments are recorded at fair value in the accompanying financial statements. Valuation of investments of the Plan that are in the Master Trust represents the Plan’s allocable portion of the Master Trust. The Plan’s investment is stated at fair value and is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust plus actual Plan contributions and allocated investment income less Plan distributions, allocated investment losses and allocated expenses.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on the average cost method.

MSD Puerto Rico Savings & Security Plan
(formerly known as the MSD Puerto Rico Employee Savings and Security Plan)
Notes to Financial Statements
 

Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as benefit payments based upon the terms of the plan document. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Contributions
Employee and the Companies matching contributions are recorded in the period in which the Companies make the payroll deductions from the participants’ earnings.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Expenses
The Plan’s administrative expenses are generally paid by the Companies.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2013-09 Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Disclosures for Nonpublic Employee Benefit Plans in Update No. 2011-04 (“ASU 2013-09”). ASU 2013-09 defers indefinitely the effective date of certain required disclosures in Update 2011-04 of qualitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 investment fair value measurements. The Plan was not impacted by the adoption of this new guidance as it did not hold any Level 3 assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in investment securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks and may decline in value for a number of reasons, including changes in prevailing interest rates and credit availability, increases in defaults, increases in voluntary prepayments for investments that are subject to prepayment risk under normal market conditions, widening of credit spreads and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
3.
Related-Party Transactions
Contributions are transmitted from the Trustee to the Recordkeeper, which invests cash received, interest and dividend income and makes distributions to the participants. The Recordkeeper also administers the collection of interest and principal on the notes receivable from participants. These transactions qualify as permitted party-in-interest transactions.
Certain Plan investments are shares of registered investment companies (mutual funds) managed by the Recordkeeper. Fidelity is the Recordkeeper as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The total market value of the Plan’s allocated portion of the investments managed by the Recordkeeper was $9.8 million and $6.3 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. During 2013, the Plan’s allocated portion of interest and dividends, realized gains and unrealized losses from investments managed by the Recordkeeper was $4,205, $517,412 and ($1,231), respectively.
Merck also is a party-in-interest to the Plan under the definition provided in Section 3(14) of ERISA. Therefore, Plan transactions of Merck common stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The market value of the Plan’s allocated portion of the investments in Merck common stock was $27.0 million and $22.1 million at December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. During 2013, the Plan’s allocated portion of dividends, realized gains and unrealized losses was $920,293, $4.8 million and $(75), respectively. The Plan’s allocated portion of purchases and sales of Merck common stock during 2013 were $0.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

4.
Plan Termination
Although they have not expressed any intent to do so, the Companies have the right under the Plan to discontinue their contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon termination of the Plan, each participant thereby affected would receive the entire value of his or her account as though he or she had retired as of the date of such termination.
5.
Tax Status
The Plan is qualified under Section 1165 of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended (the “1994 PR Code") and with Section 401(a) of the U.S. Code, and has received a favorable determination letter from the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury (the "PR Treasury") and from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as to its qualified status under the 1994 PR Code and the U.S. Code, respectively. As required by the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico, as amended (the "2011 PR Code"), the Plan filed for a favorable determination letter with the PR Treasury under the 2011 PR Code within the periods prescribed for this purpose. No events have occurred with respect to the Plan or the associated Trust that, in substantial likelihood, would result in the Plan being disqualified by the PR Treasury or the U.S. Code. The Trust associated with the Plan is intended to be exempt from Puerto Rico income taxation pursuant to the provisions of Section 1081.01(a) of the 2011 PR Code. The Plan's Master Trust is to be considered as an organization as described in Section 401(a) and exempt under Section 501(a) of the U.S. Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made. Finally, the Trust has complied with the requirements established by Section 1022(i)(1) of ERISA.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the PR Treasury pursuant to the provisions of the 1994 PR Code and the 2011 PR Code, as appropriate. The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2010.

Master Trust and Investments
The Plan had a 1.1% and 0.53% interest in the Master Trust at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net assets of the Master Trust are as follows:

7.
Fair Value Measurements – Master Trust and Investments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Entities are required to use a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Plan’s Level 1 assets primarily include registered investment companies (mutual funds) and common stocks.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Plan’s Level 2 assets primarily include investments in common/collective trusts.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The Plan did not hold any Level 3 assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

8

MSD Puerto Rico Savings & Security Plan
(formerly known as the MSD Puerto Rico Employee Savings and Security Plan)
Notes to Financial Statements
 

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. There have been no changes in the valuation methodology used at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The policy of the Master Trust and the Plan is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2.
Within the Plan and Master Trust, investments are recorded at fair value as follows:
Registered Investment Companies (Mutual Funds)
Registered investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at their respective net asset values. The net asset values are typically determined by the fund at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Investments in registered investment companies (mutual funds) generally may be redeemed daily.
Common/Collective Trusts
The common/collective trusts are valued at their respective net asset values. The fair value of investments in the common/collective trusts are determined by their trustee. The Plan’s investments in common/collective trusts generally may be redeemed daily.
Common Stocks
Common stocks, for which market quotations are readily available, are generally valued at the last reported sales price on their principal exchange on valuation date, or official close price for certain markets. If no sales are reported for that day, investments are valued at the more recent of (i) the last published sale price or (ii) the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices for long positions, or at fair value as determined in good faith by the Recordkeeper and the Companies.

Subsequent Events
In April 2013, the Executive Oversight Committee approved changes to the Plan that were effective January 1, 2014. The definition of pay used to determine contribution amounts was expanded to include total annual compensation, which includes base pay, paid cash bonus, and overtime. The Companies’ matching contribution changed to 75% of an employee’s contribution up to a maximum of 6% of annual eligible compensation. In addition, the Plan permits unmatched pre-tax “catch-up contributions” of up to $1,500 for 2014 by participants who are at least age 50 by year-end.
The Plan has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
