Kimberly-Clark believes that communication between the Board,
stockholders and other interested parties is an important part of
the Corporation's corporate governance process. To this end, the
Corporation has established the following procedures by which
interested parties may communicate with the Board.
Stockholders and other interested parties may send written
communications to the Board in care of the Lead Director:
Lead Director
Kimberly-Clark Corporation
P.O. Box 619100
Dallas, Texas 75261-9100
The Lead Director has determined that it would be appropriate
for communications addressed to the Board to be received by the
Corporation's Stockholder Services Department and reviewed first by
the Corporate Secretary's office. The Lead Director has instructed
the Corporate Secretary to:
- Refer good faith allegations of improper accounting, internal
controls or auditing matters affecting the Corporation to the
General Counsel for processing under the procedures established by
the Audit Committee.
- Refer good faith allegations of other improper conduct
affecting the Corporation to the Lead Director and the General
Counsel.
- Refer questions concerning the Corporation's products and human
resources issues to the appropriate department in the Corporation
for a response.
- Refer comments concerning the Corporation's general corporate
governance, as well as similar communications, to the Lead
Director.
The Corporate Secretary will advise the Board at its regularly
scheduled meetings of significant communications from stockholders
and other interested parties.
