AbbVie Savings Plan
Participants in the AbbVie Savings Plan will receive a voting instruction card for their shares of
AbbVie common stock held in the AbbVie Savings Plan Trust. The Trust is administered by both a
trustee and an investment committee. The trustee is Mercer Trust Company. The members of the
investment committee are Timothy J. Richmond, Amarendra Duvvur, and William H.S. Preece,
employees of AbbVie. The voting power with respect to the shares is held by and shared between the
investment committee and the participants. The investment committee must solicit voting instructions
from the participants and follow the voting instructions it receives. The investment committee may use
its own discretion with respect to those shares of AbbVie common stock for which no voting
instructions are received.
SEPARATION OF ABBVIE FROM ABBOTT LABORATORIES
On January 1, 2013, AbbVie became an independent company as a result of the distribution by
Abbott Laboratories (‘‘Abbott’’) of 100% of the outstanding common stock of AbbVie to Abbott’s
shareholders (the ‘‘Separation’’). Each Abbott shareholder of record as of the close of business on
December 12, 2012 (the ‘‘Record Date’’) received one share of AbbVie common stock for each Abbott
common share held as of the Record Date. AbbVie was incorporated in Delaware on April 10, 2012
and is comprised of Abbott’s former research-based pharmaceuticals business. AbbVie’s Registration
Statement on Form 10 was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’
or the ‘‘Securities and Exchange Commission’’) on December 7, 2012. AbbVie’s common stock began
trading ‘‘regular-way’’ under the ticker symbol ‘‘ABBV’’ on the New York Stock Exchange on January 2,
2013. For additional information, please see AbbVie’s Information Statement, which is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 to AbbVie’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 2, 2013.

independence guidelines, code of business conduct and the charters of AbbVie’s audit committee,
