Our direct material supply chain personnel worked directly with our suppliers, requesting their responses to the questions in the RMI CMRT with respect to their 2017 sales to Agilent. <font style="color:#000000;">Suppliers&#8217; CMRTs were evaluated for completeness, accuracy of information and consistency in the responses to questions and smelter lists. The CFSI database was utilized as part of the assurance process. Suppliers were contacted in regards to CMRTs which contained errors and/or omissions, and were requested to resubmit a corrected CMRT. This process occurred during the fourth calendar quarter of 2017 and first calendar quarter of 2018.</font></p>

The team overseeing this program includes members of the Legal, Enterprise Regulatory Affairs and Supply Chain functions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Their efforts are supported by Agilent&#8217;s General Counsel, as well as executive-level sponsorship. Senior management is briefed about the results of our due diligence efforts<font style="color:#000000;"> and discuss potential </font>opportunities to improve Agilent&#8217;s conflict minerals due diligence process and to mitigate risk.</p>

Controls include, but are not limited to, our&#160;Standards of Business Conduct, which outlines expected behaviors for all Agilent employees and contractors and the Agilent Supplier Environmental and Social Responsibility Code of Conduct Policy which specifically requires Agilent suppliers to &#8220;take reasonable measures to ensure products, parts, components and materials supplied to Agilent are &#8216;DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) conflict-free&#8217;.&#8221; Agilent purchase orders also require that the &#8220;Supplier shall comply with Agilent&#8217;s Supplier Code of Conduct Policy.&#8221; We also provide multiple mechanisms whereby employees and suppliers can report violations of Agilent&#8217;s policies, including an anonymous reporting hotline. </p>

As part of this global process, suppliers receive a written communication regarding our supplier compliance requirements (including those relating to conflict minerals). In addition, core and strategic suppliers on a scheduled basis are required to complete a verification survey to ensure compliance with Agilent&#8217;s supply chain requirements. </p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Based on the verified smelter or refiner lists provided by suppliers, via their CMRTs, we are aware that some smelters were sourcing from the DRC and Covered Countries and certified conflict-free, and other smelters did not disclose their sources but are certified conflict-free smelters. Some suppliers were unable to provide the smelters or refiners used for materials supplied to us.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our CMRT acceptance criteria is based on correct and consistent answers to the questions and are aligned with their smelter list. Suppliers were contacted in regards to CMRTs which contained errors and/or omissions, and were requested to resubmit a corrected CMRT. <font style="color:#000000;">More than 75% of the surveyed suppliers responded and we believe this is a reasonable approach as it allowed us to canvas suppliers who represent the majority of our expenditures in 2017.&nbsp;&nbsp;</font></p>

In some cases, based on CMRT responses, we were unable to determine the specific smelters or refiners used for components, material or assemblies supplied to us. Therefore, we are unable to determine whether the conflict minerals reportedly in use by the suppliers were contained in components, parts or assemblies supplied to us. For example, suppliers did not always provide smelter lists or provided incomplete lists as they are dependent on their suppliers for complete smelter information.&nbsp;&nbsp;There were also instances where divulged smelters were lacking smelter identification numbers, and therefore, we were unable to conclude which smelters or refiners provided the conflict minerals used by our suppliers in products supplied to us.</p>

Of these, 262 smelters are confirmed conflict-free per the RMI database. 17 smelters source from the DRC or Covered Countries and are RMI certified conflict-free. </p>
