INFORMATION CONCERNING DIRECTOR NOMINEES (ITEM 1 ON PROXY CARD)
The board of directors consists of three classes with each class currently comprised of three
directors. Directors of one class are elected each year for a term of three years. The Class I directors
are presented for re-election to hold office until the expiration of their terms at the 2016 Annual
Meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death
or resignation.
Directors are elected by stockholders if a majority of the votes cast are ‘‘for’’ a director’s reelection
at the Annual Meeting, excluding abstentions and broker non-votes. For more information on the
director majority vote standard, see AbbVie’s By-Laws as listed as an exhibit to AbbVie’s 2012 Annual
Report on SEC Form 10-K.
