THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMMERCIAL COMPANY
EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of The Procter & Gamble Commercial Company Employees' Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General — The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of Procter & Gamble Commercial, LLC (the "Plan Sponsor") and Olay LLC, (collectively, the "Companies"), subsidiaries of The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G). In order to be eligible to participate in the Plan, employees must be residents of Puerto Rico and have completed one year of service. The Procter & Gamble U.S. Business Services Company controls and manages the operation and administration of the Plan. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico serves as the trustee of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions — Each year, participants may contribute up to 10% of their pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, not exceeding the maximum deferral amount specified by Puerto Rico law. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. The Companies contribute 40% of the first 5% of eligible compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. Contributions are subject to certain limitations.

Participant Accounts — Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, allocations of the Companies' contributions and Plan earnings, and charged with withdrawals and an allocation of Plan losses and administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

Investments — Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Companies' contributions are automatically invested in The Procter & Gamble Company common stock ("P&G common stock"). The Plan currently offers seven mutual funds (including a money market mutual fund) as investment options for participants.

Vesting — Participants are vested immediately in their contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. The Companies' contributions plus actual earnings thereon are 100% vested upon the occurrence of any of the following events: completion of three years of credited service; attaining age 65; total disability or death while employed by the Companies.

Payment of Benefits — On termination of service, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.

Notes Receivable from Participants — New loans to participants are not permitted under the Plan. Participant loans included in the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits represent outstanding loans granted to participants of The Gillette Company Employees' Savings Plan prior to its merger with the Plan on September 4, 2009.

Forfeited Accounts — At December 31, 2014 and 2013, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $4,494 and $3,472, respectively. These accounts can be used to reduce future employer contributions.  There were no employer contributions reduced for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting — The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties — The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including common stock and mutual funds. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities could occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition — The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Quoted market prices are used to value investments.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held throughout the year.

Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments in mutual funds are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.

Notes Receivable from Participants — Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent terminated participant loans are recorded as distributions based on the terms of the Plan document.

Excess Contributions Payable — The Plan is required to return contributions received during the Plan year in excess of the Puerto Rican Internal Revenue Code (the "PRIRC") limits. As of December 31, 2014, the Plan had excess contributions payable to participants of $3,344. As of December 31, 2013, the Plan had excess contributions payable to participants of $38,049.

Payment of Benefits — Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. Amounts allocated to accounts of persons who have elected to withdraw from the Plan, but have not yet been paid, were $0 and $3,861 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Administrative Expenses — Investment management expenses are paid by the Plan and are netted against investment income. Recordkeeping fees of the Plan are paid by participants through a reduction in their investment balances.

3.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as follows: Level 1, which refers to securities valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for identical assets; Level 2, which refers to securities not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Asset Valuation Methodologies — Valuation methodologies maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Common Stocks — Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Mutual Funds — Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-ended mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are actively traded.

Cash Equivalents — Held primarily in short-term money market funds, which are valued at cost plus accrued interest.

Transfers between Levels — The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. The Plan's policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.  For the years ended, December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers between levels.

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy a summary of the Plan's investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

6.	EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Advisors. Empower Retirement (formerly "J.P. Morgan Retirement Plan Services") is the recordkeeper, as chosen by the Plan Committee as defined by the Plan.  J.P. Morgan Investment Advisors is an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. J.P. Morgan Chase Bank is also the custodian as defined by the Plan. Therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. In addition, the Plan has an interest bearing deposit with Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, the trustee for the Plan. Fees paid for the investment management services were included as a reduction of the return earned on each fund.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Plan held 212,852 and 213,854 shares, respectively, of P&G common stock, with a cost basis of $11,135,868 and $10,652,324, respectively. Related dividend income for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, amounted to $551,378 and $510,662, respectively.

7.	PLAN TERMINATION

Although they have not expressed any intention to do so, the Companies have the right under the Plan to discontinue their contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event that the Plan is terminated, participants would become 100% vested in their accounts.

-8-

8.	TAX STATUS

The Plan is exempt from Puerto Rico income taxes under the provisions of the PRIRC enacted on January 31, 2011. The 2011 PRIRC replaced the 1994 PRIRC, as amended. The 2011 PRIRC modified rules concerning contribution limits, coverage requirements, non-discrimination testing, and other matters. The 2011 PRIRC also provided for certain changes applicable to plans sponsored by entities under common control. These changes were effective for periods commencing after December 31, 2010, with certain additional requirements beginning on January 1, 2012. The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, but it is exempt from U.S. taxation under Section 1022 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions at any time. The Companies and Plan management believe that the Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the 2011 PRIRC and the Plan and the related trust continue to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the Plan's financial statements.

9.	RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE FORM 5500

Reconciliation of net assets available for benefits as shown in the financial statements to those in the Form 5500 as filed by the Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, is as follows:
