Supplemental Information Concerning Plan of Distribution
Reference is made to the "Plan of Distribution" section of 3M Company's prospectus supplement, dated May 5, 2017,
relating to 3M Company's offering of its Medium-Term Notes, Series F of which the notes offered hereby are a part. The
following information supplements such Plan of Distribution:
It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about October 2, 2017, which is
the seventh business day following the date of pricing of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+7"). Under
Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless
the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date prior to
two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+7, to specify an
alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
Some of the Agents and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and
other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with 3M Company or 3M Company's affiliates. They have
received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
In addition, certain of the Agents or their affiliates may be holders of 3M Company's outstanding debentures and/or
2037 notes and, to the extent the debentures and/or 2037 notes held by them are purchased by 3M Company, such Agents or
their affiliates will receive a ratable

portion of the proceeds of this offering. In connection with the tender offers, 3M Company has retained J.P. Morgan Securities
LLC as dealer manager.
The Agents and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which
may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment
research, principal investment, hedging financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the Agents and their respective affiliates
have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services
for 3M Company or its affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. In addition, certain of
the Agents and their respective affiliates are lenders under 3M Company's credit agreement dated March 9, 2016. In addition,

relationship with 3M Company and certain of the Agents or their affiliates routinely hedge, have hedged and are likely in the

either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation by entering into positions in 3M Company's securities, including
potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading
prices of the notes offered hereby. The Agents and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish
or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to
clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
