3M Company, a corporation duly organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company”, which term includes
any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns,
as principal the Principal Amount on the Stated Maturity Date and to pay interest thereon, at the Interest Rate shown above (computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), semi-annually on each Interest Payment Date set forth above from and after
the date of this Security and at Maturity until payment of the principal amount hereof has been made or duly provided for. Each
payment of interest due on an Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity will include interest accrued from and including the
last date to which interest has been paid, or made available for payment, or from the Original Issue Date if none has been paid,
or made available for payment, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the date of Maturity, as the case may be. Unless this
Security is a Security which has been issued upon transfer of, in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest
on this Security shall accrue from the Original Issue Date indicated above. If this Security has been issued upon transfer of,
in exchange for, or in replacement of, a Predecessor Security, interest on this Security shall accrue from the last Interest Payment
Date to which interest was paid on such Predecessor Security or, if no interest was paid on such Predecessor Security, from the
Original Issue Date indicated above. Any premium and any such installment of interest that is overdue at any time shall also bear
interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), at the rate per annum at which the principal
then bears interest, from the date any such overdue amount first becomes due until it is paid or made available for payment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, interest on any principal, premium or installment of interest that is overdue shall be payable on demand.


 


The interest so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name
this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether
or not a Business Day, as such term is defined in Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof) next preceding such Interest Payment Date
(a “Regular Record Date”). If interest is due at Maturity but on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date,
interest will be paid to the Person entitled to receive the principal hereof. Any interest so payable, but not punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date
and such Defaulted Interest either may be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities)
is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee,
notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be
paid in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Security may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Manner of Payment


 


Except as provided in the next paragraph,
payment of any amount payable on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose
in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose), against surrender of this
Security in the case of any payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other than any payment of interest that first
becomes due on an Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that, at the option of the Company and subject to the
next paragraph, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Security Register.


 


Payment of any amount payable on this Security
will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in The City
of New York, if (i) the principal of this Security is at least $1,000,000 and (ii) the Holder entitled to receive such payment
transmits a written request for such payment to be made in such manner to the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention:
Corporate Finance Group, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., on or before the tenth day before the day on which such
payment is to be made; provided that, in the case of any such payment due at the Maturity of the principal hereof (other
than any payment of interest that first becomes due on an Interest Payment Date), this Security must be surrendered at the office
or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York (or at any other office or agency maintained by the
Company for that purpose) in time for the Paying Agent to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.
Any such request made with respect to any payment on this Security payable to a particular Holder will remain in effect for all
later payments on this Security payable to such Holder, unless such request is revoked on or before the tenth day before a payment
is to be made, in which case such revocation shall be effective for such and all later payments. In the case of any payment of
interest payable on an Interest Payment Date, such written request must be made by the Person who is the registered Holder of this
Security on the relevant Regular Record Date. If principal or another amount besides interest is due on this Security at Maturity,
the Company will pay the amount to the Holder of this Security against surrender hereof at a proper place of payment or, in the
case of a Global Security, as provided below in accordance with the applicable policies of the Depositary. The Company will pay
any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer with respect to this Security, but
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon any payment will be borne by the Holder of this Security and may
be deducted from the payment by the Company or the Paying Agent.


 


Manner of Payment - Global Securities


 


Notwithstanding any provision of this security
or the Indenture, if this Security is a Global Security, the Company may make any and all payments of principal, premium and interest
on this Security pursuant to the applicable policies of the Depositary for this Security as permitted in the Indenture.

Payments Due on a Business Day


 


Unless otherwise specified on the face of
this Security, the following sentence shall apply to this Security. Notwithstanding any provision of this Security or the Indenture,
if any amount of principal, premium or interest would otherwise be due on this Security on a day (the “Specified Day”)
that is not a Business Day, such amount may be paid or made available for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if such amount were paid on the Specified Day and no additional interest will accrue with respect to the
payment made on that next succeeding Business Day. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply to this Security in lieu of the
provisions of Section 113 of the Indenture.


 


Reference is hereby made to the further
provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect
as if set forth at this place.


 


Unless the certificate of authentication
hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual or electronic signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this series. References herein to “this series” mean the series

ADDENDUM


 


Optional Make-Whole Redemption and Redemption
at Par Prior to Maturity


 


Prior to March 15, 2025 (one month prior
to the Stated Maturity Date of this Security), this Security will be redeemable at any time, in whole or from time to time in part,
at our option at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of


 


		·	100% of the principal amount of this Security to be redeemed, and



 


		·	as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the scheduled payments of interest
on this Security to be redeemed that would have been payable from the Redemption Date to March 15, 2025 (not including any portion
of such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis assuming
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at the Treasury Rate (defined below) plus 35 basis points



 


plus, in the case of both clauses above,
accrued and unpaid interest on this Security to be redeemed to the Redemption Date.


 


In addition, at any time on or
after March 15, 2025 (one month prior to the Stated Maturity Date of this Security), the Security will be redeemable, in whole,
but not in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Security, plus accrued interest
thereon to the date of redemption.


 


“Comparable Treasury Issue”
means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term
of this Security to be redeemed, as if this Security to be redeemed matured on March 15, 2025, that would be utilized, at the time
of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of this Security.


 


“Comparable Treasury Price”
means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of at least three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption
Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of five or more Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains
fewer than five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so obtained.


 


“Quotation Agent”
means the reference treasury dealer appointed by the Company.


 


“Reference Treasury Dealer”
means each of (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and their respective
successors; however, if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a
“Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other
Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Company.


 






    11


     


    

 


“Reference treasury dealer
quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as
determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a
percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.


 


“Treasury Rate” means,
with respect to any Redemption Date, the annual rate equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury
Issue, assuming a price of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for that Redemption Date.


 


In the case of a partial redemption, selection
of this Security for redemption will be made pro rata, if commercially practicable in accordance with the procedures of DTC or
the relevant depositary, and if not, then by lot or such other method as required in accordance with the procedures of DTC or the
relevant depositary. This Security will be redeemed in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Notice of any redemption pursuant to this subsection will be delivered at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption
Date to each Holder of this Security to be redeemed. If any Securities are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption
that relates to the Security will state the portion of the Security to be redeemed and new Securities in principal amounts of at
least $2,000 equal to the unredeemed portion of this Security will be issued in the name of the Holder of this Security upon surrender
for cancellation of the original Security. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption
Date, interest will cease to accrue on this Security or the portions of this Security called for redemption.
