This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as described under "Description of LYONs--Conversion Rights--Conversion Adjustments and Delivery of Common Stock." As a result, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the LYONs may increase or decrease in the future. 3M has the right to deliver, in lieu of common stock, cash upon conversion, as described in this Prospectus. (2) Assumes that all the LYONs and/or all of the common stock into which the LYONs are convertible are sold. No selling security holder will own more than 1% of the common stock after the offering by the selling stockholder. (3) Includes any position, office or other material relationship which the selling security holder has had within the past three years with 3M or any of its affiliates. (4) This selling securityholder has represented to 3M that, although it is affiliated with a securities broker or dealer, the selling securityholder purchased the securities shown in the ordinary course of business, and at the time of the purchase of the securities, the selling securityholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. (5) This selling securityholder has identified itself as a securities broker or dealer, and accordingly it is deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. (6) Assumes that none of the holders of LYONs who have not yet returned their questionnaire beneficially own any other shares of our common stock. Other selling securityholders may be identified at a later date and will be included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement. To the extent that they are brokers or dealers, disclosure will be made that they are deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. See the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 7 of the prospectus to read about factors you should consider before purchasing the LYONs. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The date of this prospectus supplement is May 9, 2003 (TM) Trademark of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.
