Transparency of Financial Support to Independent Third Parties

It is our intent over time to disclose our financial support to medical, scientific and patient organizations globally. We are beginning in the United States as this is where the largest amount of our support is directed. In January 2009, Merck began reporting other grants/payments to U.S. organizations as well as grants made in Europe and Canada. Information on our Web site includes the name of the organization, along with a description of the activity and the amount of the grant provided. Merck will update this list quarterly in the United States, and annually for ex-U.S. jurisdictions. We will continue to expand our disclosure into other regions as we work to build the infrastructure and systems necessary to allow us to report this information on a global basis.
