    Your Retirement Benefits The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock Ownership Plan Plan Information Summary Plan Description and Prospectus This document constitutes part of a prospectus covering securities that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and should be retained for future reference. The Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock Ownership Plan is governed by official Plan documents, which are always the final authority on the Plan. July 1, 2007 Summary Plan Description and Prospectus 2012 Procter & Gamble, All Rights Reserved Publication Date: 05/31/2012 Introduction P&G originated on the banks of the Ohio River in Cincinnati, Ohio, when two brothers-in-law merged their specialties into a partnership. William Procter was a candle maker, and James Gamble was a soap maker. The idea of sharing the Company’s profits with employees was introduced by a grandson of one of the founders, William Cooper Procter. Cooper, as he was known, had begun his training by working in the factory. Creating an Incentive for Workers After listening to the workers, he wanted to find a way to instill in employees the same desire to succeed as a person who owned their own business. “We should let the employees share in the firm’s earnings,” he said. “That will give them an incentive to increase earnings.” Cooper Procter introduced the idea of profit sharing to the U.S. in 1887. Each employee received a cash payment from the profits of the Company based upon a formula that also considered length of service. The payments were made at a Company picnic on a day known as “Dividend Day” (a day that many locations in the U.S.
