Explanation of Responses:
* This Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Form 3 is being
filed by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company ("3M"). 3M,
Barbados Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of 3M ("Merger
Sub"), and Robinson Nugent, Inc. ("Robinson Nugent"), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of
October 2, 2000, providing for, among other things, the merger of
Merger Sub with and into Robinson Nugent (the "Merger").
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger
Agreement, 3M entered into a Voting and Stock Option Agreement dated
as of October 2, 2000 (the "Voting and Stock Option Agreement") with
certain shareholders of Robinson Nugent (the "Robinson Nugent
Shareholders") with respect to their Robinson Nugent Common Shares as
follows: (i) Samuel C. Robinson - 1,115,360 Robinson Nugent Common
Shares, (ii) James W. Robinson - 280,741 Robinson Nugent Common Shares
and options to purchase 34,000 Robinson Nugent Common Shares, (iii)
Patrick C. Duffy - 37,099 shares of Robinson Nugent Common Shares and
options to purchase 88,000 Robinson Nugent Common Shares, and (iv)
Larry W. Burke - 162,451 Robinson Nugent Common Shares and options to
purchase 97,650 Robinson Nugent Common Shares. Under the Voting and
Stock Option Agreement, each Robinson Nugent Shareholder has agreed to
vote, or cause any holder of record of his Robinson Nugent Common
Shares to vote, his Robinson Nugent Common Shares (including any
Robinson Nugent Common Shares which such Robinson Nugent Shareholder
may acquire after October 2, 2000) (the "Shares") and has granted 3M
an irrevocable proxy to vote his Shares in favor of the Merger
Agreement and against any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the
Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the Voting and Stock Option Agreement,
each Robinson Nugent Shareholder has also granted to 3M an irrevocable
option (the "Option") to purchase his Shares at a price of $19 per
share. 3M may exercise the Option in whole at any time prior to the
earlier of (i) the effective time of the merger and (ii) fifteen
business days after the date of termination of the Merger Agreement.
The Robinson Nugent Common Shares held by the Robinson Nugent
Shareholders represent 30.7% of the outstanding Robinson Nugent Common
Shares on a fully diluted basis as of October 2, 2000, as represented
by Robinson Nugent in the Merger Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the Voting Agreement and Stock Option is
qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements, which have
been filed as exhibits to the Schedule 13D filed with respect to 3M on
the date hereof.
