RATIFICATION OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS ABBVIE’S
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
(ITEM 2)
AbbVie’s audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall appoint annually AbbVie’s independent
registered public accounting firm. On October 9, 2014, the audit committee appointed Ernst & Young LLP to perform
independent audit services for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.
Although the audit committee has sole authority to appoint the independent registered public accounting firm, it
would like to know the opinion of the stockholders regarding its appointment of Ernst & Young LLP for 2015. For this
reason, stockholders are being asked to ratify this appointment. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of
Ernst & Young LLP for 2015, the audit committee will take that fact into consideration, but may, nevertheless, continue
to retain Ernst & Young LLP.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be given the
opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. They will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The board of directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as
AbbVie’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2015.
