Nature of Indirect Beneficial Ownership (Instr. 4) Explanation of Responses: ( 1) On February 9, 2011, the reporting person reported the imminent delivery of a number of shares of 3M Common Stock earned as a result of the 2008 performance shares awarded to such person under the 3M Performance Unit Plan. The number of shares to be withheld from this delivery for the payment of withholding taxes was unknown. This amendment is being filed to update the Form 4 with the number of shares used for tax withholding, in addition to correcting the number of shares to be delivered. The amount reported on February 9, 2011 reflected a rounded whole number of shares, while the amount of shares actually earned includes a fractional share of stock. This updated Form 4 reflects the shares earned without rounding. Reporting Owners Reporting Owner Name / Address PALENSKY FRED J 3M CENTER ST.
