following the retirement of current Executive Chairman A.G. Lafley, who
was named as Chairman, President and CEO in 2013.

“I want to recognize and thank A.G. for his legacy of leadership at
P&G,” said Mr. Taylor. “Over the past three years in particular, A.G.
was instrumental in leading our strategic, leadership and cultural

growth under his leadership. Taylor and Lafley have worked closely
together in the past year on the Company’s strategy to strengthen and
