For 2023, some of our Suppliers identified Smelters in their supply chains on a company-wide, division or product-line basis, without specifying which Smelters were relevant to products they supplied to TI. Accordingly, we refer in this Conflict
Minerals Report to Smelters as being &#147;potentially&#148; in our supply chain and as CMs &#147;potentially&#148; supplied to TI. Industry efforts to collect and verify CM origin information remain an inherent limitation. For Smelters that are
designated as Active, their status is currently undeterminable because the RMAP assessments are not complete or have not yet been dispositioned by the RMI. The results of our due diligence reflect these limitations. The Smelters identified by our
Suppliers as potentially in our supply chain are listed in Appendix A hereto. Our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the CMs consisted of the due diligence measures described above. </P>
