3M Shareholders Approve All Items at 2026 Annual Meeting

ST. PAUL, Minnesota, May 13, 2026 — 3M Co. disclosed shareholder voting results for all matters submitted at its annual meeting held today, according to an 8-K filed with the SEC under Item 5.07.

The filing covers votes cast by holders of 3M common stock, the only class of voting securities outstanding. Specific tallies were not itemized in the initial submission, which states that each proposal received the required vote for approval under the company's governing documents and applicable law.

The results establish new one-year terms for the entire board of directors. They also approve, on an advisory basis, named executive officer compensation. Shareholders ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

Additional items approved include amendments to the company's long-term incentive plan and other routine matters placed before security holders.

Operationally the approvals restore the board's full authority to continue existing governance and compensation practices without further shareholder approval until the 2027 annual meeting. The auditor ratification enables PwC to complete its engagement for the current fiscal year without interruption.

The incentive-plan amendments take effect immediately and govern equity and performance awards granted from May 13, 2026 forward.

Downstream the board must now file Form 8-K disclosures for any new director elections or committee assignments within four business days. The compensation committee will incorporate the advisory vote outcome when preparing the 2027 proxy statement's say-on-pay disclosure.

Any material changes to the incentive plan must be reported on Form S-8 if new shares are registered. The ratified auditor engagement triggers the firm's independence and reporting obligations under PCAOB standards for the 2026 financial statements, with the audit report due when 3M submits its Form 10-K in early 2027.

This marks the company's standard annual shareholder ratification cycle. The last comparable 8-K for voting results was filed in May 2025 following that year's annual meeting. The current filing contains no contested solicitations or withhold campaigns that would have required supplemental disclosure on Form 8-K under Item 5.07(b).
