It was a year in which we made great progress toward inventing a new future for ourselves at 3M, a future of faster growth and increased competitiveness, while continuing to deliver superior returns to our shareholders. We are convinced that higher levels of value creation for our shareholders are driven by higher rates of sales growth, particularly while sustaining the higher levels of ROIC for which 3M is well known. Importantly, growth also enhances career opportunity for the people of 3M, To the outside world, what we do looks a little like magic. whose efforts are the primary drivers of our success.

We create entirely new product categories and breathe new life into markets crying for reinvention. George W.

  • 2011 Annual Report
    2011 Annual Report Inspired Innovation To our shareholders In many ways, 2011 was an amazing year. At times, the year felt like a story from the book of Genesis, with the Japanese earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear issues, the fl ooding in Thailand late in the year, tornadoes in the southern United States, and revolution in North Africa. Matters were further complicated in 2011 by the sovereign debt issue in Greece, worries about Italy’s solvency and the economic downturn in Europe. We must offer special recognition here to our Japanese colleagues for their wonderful efforts in 2011 and to their entire nation for the dignifi ed and orderly way in which they dealt with the tsunami and related challenges. They have my profound personal admiration. Through all of this, while dealing in many cases with enormous personal challenges presented by these disasters, 3M’s people also met the business challenges and once again delivered strong results. George W. Buckley Despite all this turbulence, full-year sales increased 11 percent to Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Offi cer $29.6 billion, with double-digit growth in Industrial and Transportation; Safety, Security and Protection Services; and Health Care. Operating margins were 20.9 percent for the company, and all businesses delivered margins of 20 percent or higher, which is an amazing feat of consistency. Inge G. Thulin named President and Chief Executive Offi cer, 3M Company, Feb. 24, 2012 Inge G. Thulin, 58, was named president and chief executive offi cer of 3M Company effective Feb. 24, 2012.

Singh HARVEY BOULTER, PORTON CAPITAL TECHNOLOGY FUNDS, PORTON CAPITAL, INC., LANNY DAVIS, LANNY J. DAVIS & ASSOCIATES, PLLC, and DAVIS-BLOCK LLC, Defendants. Appendix of Exhibits to September 19, 2011 Letter from Christopher E. Duffy EXHIBIT A Page 1 of 2 Printing sponsored by: 3M countersues as MRSA row becomes toxic • Knighthood question gives fresh twist to dispute • Investment fund head accused of 'blackmail' Rupert Neate guardian.co.uk, Monday 20 June 2011 16.11 EDT larger | smaller This scanning electron micrograph (SEM) shows clumps of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, commonly referred to as MRSA, magnified x9560. Photograph: Mediscan/Corbis A company with links to the government has been accused of threatening a knighthood awarded to the head of one of the US's biggest companies. Harvey Boulter, chief executive of Porton Capital, an investment fund that worked with the government to develop a test for MRSA, has been accused of "blackmail" by claiming that the prime minister may reconsider a knighthood awarded to George Buckley, the British-born chief executive of the US conglomerate 3M. Lawyers for 3M claim Boulter's threat came after he demanded 3M hand over $30m (£18.5m) to settle a long-running dispute about the potentially lifesaving test sold to the US company in 2007. In an email to 3M, seen by the Guardian, Boulter said: "As a result of my meeting [with Liam Fox, the defence secretary] you ought to understand that David Cameron's cabinet might very shortly be discussing the rather embarrassing situation of George [Buckley]'s knighthood.
