<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">This Conflict Minerals Report (&ldquo;CMR&rdquo;) of Caterpillar Inc.
(herein referred to as &ldquo;Caterpillar,&rdquo; &ldquo;we,&rdquo; or &ldquo;our&rdquo;) is being filed in accordance with Rule 13p-1
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (&ldquo;Rule 13p-1&rdquo;) for calendar year 2024. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms used
in this CMR are as defined in Rule 13p-1 and Form SD. References to internet websites herein are provided only as required by Rule 13p-1
and information available through these websites is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD. Statements in this CMR are based
on our due diligence activities performed in good faith. Factors that could affect the accuracy of these statements include, but are not
limited to, incomplete supplier data, lack of available smelter and refiner data and errors or omissions by suppliers or smelters.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">With 2024 sales and revenues of $64.81 billion, Caterpillar is the
world&rsquo;s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric
locomotives. We principally operate through our three primary segments - Construction Industries, Resource Industries and Energy and Transportation
- and also provide financing and related services through our Financial Products segment. We are also a leading U.S. exporter. Through
a global network of independent dealers and direct sales of certain products, we build long-term relationships with customers around the
world.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We manufacture and contract to manufacture
products that contain tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (&ldquo;3TG&rdquo;) which is necessary to the functionality and/or production
of such products (the &ldquo;3TG Products&rdquo;). For example, tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold are each contained respectively in
weld wire, capacitors, lamps and electrical connection coatings, each of which are components in many of our 3TG Products. Our 3TG
Products are listed on Schedule A attached hereto. We have relationships with a vast network of suppliers worldwide and we rely on
our suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in the components and materials supplied to us. As a
downstream purchaser, Caterpillar, in most instances, is many steps removed from the smelters and refiners in our supply chain. To
the best of our knowledge, Caterpillar does not purchase 3TG directly from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or from any
adjoining country (collectively, the &ldquo;Covered Countries&rdquo;). Because of Caterpillar&rsquo;s size, the complexity of our
products and the depth, breadth and constant evolution of our supply chain, it is difficult to identify suppliers upstream from our
direct suppliers. Accordingly, we participate in an industry-wide initiative described in Section 4 below. Caterpillar is also an
active participant in other industry associations that increase awareness for responsible sourcing of conflict minerals and develop
related resources that benefit the entire supply chain.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Section 2: Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Caterpillar&rsquo;s method for determining
the country of origin of 3TG contained in our 3TG Products is to conduct a supply-chain survey with direct suppliers using the
template developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (&ldquo;RMI&rdquo;) known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the
 &ldquo;CMRT&rdquo;). The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and
refiners that provide materials to a manufacturer&rsquo;s supply chain. The CMRT includes questions regarding a direct
supplier&rsquo;s conflict-free policy, its due diligence process and information about its supply chain, including the names and
locations of smelters and refiners as well as the country of origin of 3TG used by those facilities.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We surveyed approximately 98% of our suppliers known or suspected to
provide components and materials for our 3TG Products (&ldquo;Impacted Suppliers&rdquo;), which resulted in 17,275 inquiries. Some Impacted
Suppliers received multiple inquiries. While we requested that all Impacted Suppliers respond to the survey, we targeted &ldquo;high-priority&rdquo;
suppliers representing the top 80% of our expenditures for components and materials known or suspected to include 3TG. We have an internal
escalation process for following up with unresponsive suppliers to increase the response rate with an emphasis on high-priority suppliers.
For 2024, we received responses from more than 99% of these high-priority suppliers equaling 1,578 total responses. Based on these results,
we have a reason to believe that some of the 3TG in our supply chain may have originated in the Covered Countries and also have reason
to believe that such 3TG may not be from recycled or scrap sources.</P>

the source and chain of custody of 3TG in our supply chain. Rule 13p-1 requires that a registrant&rsquo;s due diligence follow a nationally
or internationally recognized due diligence framework. Presently, the only nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework
available is the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals
from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and related Supplements for each of the conflict minerals (the &ldquo;OECD Guidance&rdquo;).
The OECD Guidance is a framework for risk-based due diligence for responsible supply chains of conflict minerals from conflict-affected

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Caterpillar has posted on our website a position statement on conflict
minerals which states our commitment to the responsible sourcing of conflict minerals used in our products and that we will not knowingly
provide support to, contribute to, assist with, or facilitate armed conflict in the Covered Countries. Our conflict minerals position
statement encourages suppliers to procure materials through conflict-free sources and clarifies that we do not want to prevent suppliers
from sourcing from legitimate mines located within the Covered Countries as doing so could be detrimental to the local economies and populations.
A copy of our conflict minerals position statement is publicly available at http://www.caterpillar.com/en/company/sustainability/conflict-minerals.html.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0">We rely on our suppliers to provide information on the origin of the
3TG contained in the components and materials supplied to us. Caterpillar is a member of the RMI (Member ID: CATE), an initiative developed
to identify and disclose upstream actors in the supply chain, including 3TG smelters and refiners, to determine red flag locations of
3TG origin in the supply chain. RMI program initiatives include the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (&ldquo;RMAP&rdquo;) which
identifies smelters and refiners that process materials from conflict-free sources, and the CMRT which is a free, standardized reporting
template that facilitates the transfer of information through the supply chain regarding the country of origin of 3TG and smelters and
refiners being utilized.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We sent correspondence to smelters and refiners not currently participating
in the RMAP, where the RMI had contact information for such smelters and refiners, to encourage them to participate in the RMAP. In the
event we establish chain of custody to a non-conformant smelter or refiner, we developed an escalation process to notify the applicable
direct suppliers to encourage the smelter or refiner to participate in RMAP. We also sent correspondence to smelters and refiners identified
by our suppliers in response to our supply- chain survey that were validated as conformant under the RMAP as of March 31, 2025 thanking
them for their participation in the RMAP. Through membership in RMI, Caterpillar participated in working groups such as the RMI Multi-Stakeholder
Group, Smelter Engagement Team, Due Diligence Practices Team, CMRT Team and Plenary Team to support in-region efforts and bolster supply
chain transparency. We retain records relating to our conflict minerals compliance program for a period of five years.</P>

is to establish long-term relationships and collaborate with our suppliers. To communicate our expectations relating to responsible sourcing
of conflict minerals, Caterpillar posted on our website our position statement on conflict minerals referenced above. We developed and
made available a web-based training presentation to suppliers on topics including the requirements of Rule 13p-1, Caterpillar&rsquo;s
obligations under Rule 13p-1 and instructions for responding to the CMRT. The language in our standard purchase order terms and conditions
requires our suppliers to provide us with supporting information and documentation evidencing due diligence of 3TG in their respective
supply chains upon our request for such information.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We reviewed Impacted Supplier responses against criteria developed
by our internal team to determine whether further engagement was necessary. Smelters and refiners identified by a supplier in response
to our supply-chain survey are also compared against the list of facilities that have received a conformant or active designation by the
RMAP which provides country of origin and due diligence information on the conflict minerals sources by such facilities. As part of our
efforts to track and investigate facilities in our supply chain that may be sourcing 3TG from the Covered Countries, we provided to the
RMI for investigation a list of smelters and refiners identified in supplier responses to our supply-chain survey that were unknown to
the RMAP.</P>
