Boeing is one of the world&#8217;s largest aerospace firms. Our principal products include commercial jet aircraft, manned and unmanned military aircraft, rotorcraft and tilt-rotor aircraft, as well as missile and weapons systems, satellites and launch vehicles. We conducted an analysis of our products and found that small quantities of one or more of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (&#8220;</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">3TG</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#8221;) are found in substantially all of Boeing&#8217;s products.</font></div><div><a name="sF603147CA2D178F29385BE31F6FA7CA0"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The aircraft and other products that we manufacture are highly complex, typically containing thousands of parts from thousands of direct and indirect suppliers. Boeing has relationships with a vast network of suppliers throughout the world and there are generally multiple tiers between the </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">3TG</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;mines and our direct suppliers. Therefore, we rely on our direct suppliers to work with their upstream suppliers in order to provide us with accurate information about the origin of </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">3TG</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;in the </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">materials, components, parts and subassemblies</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;(collectively, &#8220;</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Components</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#8221;) we purchase. As we enter into new contracts or renew existing contracts, we require our suppliers to commit on a prospective basis to provide us with the </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">3TG</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;information necessary to conduct our due diligence. However, during the term of contracts executed before we imposed this requirement, we cannot compel these suppliers to support our due diligence efforts with respect to </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">3TG</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#32;content.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">II.

Measures taken to make the determination were in accordance with Step 2 of the Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals From Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (&#8220;OECD&#8221;) and its supplements on tin, tantalum, and tungsten and on gold (&#8220;OECD guidance&#8221;; &#8220;OECD Step 2&#8221;). Our RCOI included identification of relevant suppliers, survey of suppliers and assessment of data received from suppliers.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We requested that all of our suppliers of Components that we believe could contain 3TG provide information to us using the template developed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative, known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the &#8220;Template&#8221;). The Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and refiners that provide 3TG to a manufacturer&#8217;s supply chain. It includes questions regarding a direct supplier&#8217;s conflict-free policy and its due diligence process, and requests information about its supply chain for 3TG, such as the names and locations of smelters and refiners, as well as the country of origin of 3TG used by such smelters and refiners. The information we receive is submitted into an electronic database to facilitate information analysis.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">1</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="s474E1A5BDC34E75C2D1EBE31F718ECB4"></a></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:14pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">OECD Step 1.
