As a result of this stock swap, the reporting person acquired ownership of an additional 3,118 shares of 3M common stock. As a result of this transaction, 2,323 shares were sold to pay withholding taxes to the respective government agencies. George Ann Biros, attorney-in-fact for Brad T. Sauer 2012-02-17
