Following this evaluation, each business unit then engaged in an RCOI by identifying, through a risk-based approach, those suppliers that were likely to provide products containing Conflict Minerals during the year ended December 31, 2024. Each business unit (in certain cases in conjunction with a third-party vendor) then contacted each identified supplier to ascertain whether Conflict Minerals were used in the supplier&#8217;s products as provided to the business unit. </font></div><div style="margin-top:9pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Supplier responses can be grouped into five main categories&#58;</font></div><div style="margin-top:3pt;padding-left:56.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">(1)</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:8.02pt">The supplier represented that its products did not contain Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries.</font></div><div style="margin-top:3pt;padding-left:56.25pt;padding-right:22.5pt;text-indent:-20.25pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">(2)</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:8.02pt">The supplier represented that it had not completed its own diligence about its products in order to be able to certify to the business unit whether the supplier&#8217;s products contain Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries.</font></div><div style="margin-top:3pt;padding-left:56.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">(3)</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:8.02pt">The supplier represented that it had completed its diligence but was unable to determine whether its products contain Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries.</font></div><div style="margin-top:3pt;padding-left:56.25pt;padding-right:36pt;text-indent:-20.25pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">(4)</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:8.02pt">The supplier represented that its products contained Conflict Minerals that did originate or may have originated in the Covered Countries.</font></div><div style="margin-top:3pt;padding-left:56.25pt;text-indent:-20.25pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">(5)</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:8.02pt">The supplier provided no response to the inquiry.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;margin-top:9pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The business units evaluated each response to provide a level of assurance as to the response&#8217;s validity.
