This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) filed by 3M Company, a Delaware corporation (“3M”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 4, 2022.

The Schedule TO relates to the offer to exchange all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Garden SpinCo common stock”), of Garden SpinCo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Garden SpinCo”), for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“3M common stock”), of 3M that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer (as defined below).  Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer, Nova RMT Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Neogen Corporation, a Michigan corporation (“Neogen”), will be merged with and into Garden SpinCo, whereby the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Garden SpinCo will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Neogen (the “Merger”).  In the Merger, each outstanding share of Garden SpinCo common stock (except for shares of Garden SpinCo common stock held by Garden SpinCo as treasury stock or by Neogen or Merger Sub, which shares will be canceled and cease to exist, without any consideration being delivered in exchange therefor) will be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Neogen (“Neogen common stock”), together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Neogen common stock, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Prospectus, dated August 4, 2022 (the “Prospectus”), the Letter of Transmittal and the Exchange and Transmittal Information Booklet, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(iii), respectively (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Exchange Offer”).  In connection with the Exchange Offer, Garden SpinCo has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form S-4 and Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-263669) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) to register the shares of Garden SpinCo common stock offered in exchange for shares of 3M common stock tendered in the Exchange Offer and to be distributed in any clean-up spin-off to the extent that the Exchange Offer is not fully subscribed. Neogen has filed under the Securities Act a registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-263667) to register the shares of Neogen common stock that will be issued in the Merger.

As permitted by General Instruction F to Schedule TO, the information set forth in the Prospectus, the Letter of Transmittal, the Exchange and Transmittal Information Booklet and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery for 3M common stock, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (a)(vi), respectively, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO.

This Amendment No. 1 shall be read together with the Schedule TO. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule TO.
