Item 9B. Other Information.
Effective March 31, 2007, 3M voluntarily delisted from NYSE Arca Inc., formerly the Pacific Exchange, to eliminate
duplicative administrative requirements and costs inherent with dual listings as a result of the NYSE Group’s recent
merger with Archipelago Holdings, the parent company of NYSE Arca. 3M does not believe that withdrawing its listing
from NYSE Arca Inc. will have any impact on the liquidity of its stock. NYSE Arca will continue to trade 3M stock on an
unlisted trading privilege basis. 3M’s common stock will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the
company’s principal listing exchange.
