3M announced on 26 Jul 2022 it is taking action to resolve litigation related to Combat Arms Earplugs Version 2 ('Combat Arms Earplugs'). Aearo Technologies and related entities ('Aearo Technologies'), all of which are wholly-owned 3M subsidiaries, have voluntarily initiated chapter 11 proceedings seeking court supervision to help establish a trust - funded by 3M - to efficiently and equitably resolve all claims determined to be entitled to compensation. 3M and Aearo Technologies believe the Combat Arms Earplugs were effective and safe when used properly, but nevertheless face increasing litigation, including approximately 115,000 filed claims and an additional 120,000 claims on an administrative docket as of 30 Jun 2022. The well-established chapter 11 process is intended to achieve an efficient and equitable resolution, reduce uncertainty, and increase clarity for all stakeholders, while reducing the cost and time that could otherwise be required to litigate thousands of cases. 3M and its other businesses have not filed for chapter 11 and will continue to operate as usual. Aearo Technologies will also continue to operate in the ordinary course. Aearo Technologies was acquired by 3M in 2008 and has since operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3M. 3M has entered into a funding agreement with Aearo Technologies to establish a trust to resolve all claims determined to be entitled to compensation, and to support Aearo Technologies as it continues to operate during the chapter 11 process. The claims largely relate to the previous generation Combat Arms Earplugs manufactured by Aearo Technologies, as well as discontinued Aearo Technologies mask and respirator products utilized to reduce workplace exposure to asbestos, silica, coal mine dust or occupational dusts. Aearo Technologies has indemnified 3M for obligations related to the claims. 3M has committed $1 bn to fund the trust, based on the analysis of an experienced estimator of claims in chapter 11. 3M has also committed an additional $240 M to fund projected related case expenses. 3M will provide additional funding if required under the terms of the agreement. As a result, 3M recorded a total pre-tax charge of $1.2 bn, or $1.66/share, and reflected it as an adjustment in arriving at its results, adjusted for special items.
