unrefined minerals and makes no purchases in a Covered Country (as defined below). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company and its merchandising strategies are retailers of
high-quality consumer products for the kitchen and home, including kitchen essentials, dinnerware, cookware, electrics, cutlery, furniture, bedding, bathroom accessories, lighting, decorative accessories, rugs, curtains, gifts, hardware, small
leather goods, jewelry, and home d&eacute;cor. The Company&#146;s merchandising strategies contract to manufacture some, although not all, of the products they sell. In 2017, the Company purchased merchandise from over 400 suppliers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Tin, tungsten, tantalum or gold (&#147;3TGs&#148;) are necessary to the functionality of certain lighting and decorative accessories products that the Company

established a policy indicating our ongoing efforts in responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals by our suppliers. The policy is reviewed each year and sent to suppliers for a yearly acknowledgment. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>Section&nbsp;4. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Information </U></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, the Company conducted a &#147;reasonable country of origin inquiry&#148; (&#147;RCOI&#148;). We designed our RCOI in
good faith in an attempt to determine the origin of 3TGs that are necessary to the functionality or production of products that we contract to manufacture. Members of the Company&#146;s Legal Department and Sustainable Development Department
identified suppliers of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">In-Scope</FONT> Products that the Company contracted to have manufactured. These suppliers were generally suppliers of lighting products and decorative accessories. All identified
suppliers of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">In-Scope</FONT> products, approximately 125 suppliers, were contacted as part of our outreach efforts. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on our 2017 RCOI, these suppliers identified over 300 smelters and refiners that may be in our supply chain, which the Company believes represent the
majority of the relevant smelters and refiners. Based on our RCOI, for the smelters that were identified, the Company concluded that all but one of these smelters and refiners sourced entirely from outside Democratic Republic of Congo or an
adjoining country (&#147;Covered Country&#148;). One supplier identified a smelter located in a Covered Country (Zimbabwe), but the supplier was not able to determine whether the 3TGs that came from this smelter were in products supplied to us. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>Section&nbsp;5. Due Diligence Procedures Performed </U></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The due diligence exercise performed by the Company conformed to an internationally recognized due diligence framework developed by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development as part of its &#147;Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas&#148; (collectively, the &#147;OECD Guidance&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with the OECD Guidance, the Company&#146;s due diligence exercise included: 1) review of the previously-adopted Conflict Minerals Policy, which
was then sent to relevant suppliers of the Company&#146;s products; 2) review and assessment of risk in our Company&#146;s supply chain; and 3) review of the strategy to identify and respond to risks in the supply chain. There were no significant
changes to the due diligence process since December&nbsp;31, 2016, the end of the period covered in the Company&#146;s most recent prior Conflict Minerals Report. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Use of RBA Conflict Minerals Reporting Template </U></I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In performing our due diligence for 2017, the Company continued to use the Responsible Business Alliance, formerly the Electronic Industry Citizenship
Coalition, and Global e-Sustainability Initiative&#146;s (&#147;RBA-GsSI&#148;) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (&#147;CMRT&#148;). The Company contacted each supplier and requested that it complete the RBA-GsSI CMRT. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Use of a Third-Party Platform for Responses, Support and Review </U></I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A third-party vendor was used to streamline this process by allowing suppliers to enter responses via the online RBA-GsSI CMRT. This vendor provided support
for suppliers in completing the survey and also aggregated the data provided by suppliers so that the Company could review and analyze the data. The vendor also sent reminder emails to each <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-responsive</FONT>
supplier requesting completion of the report. </P>
 <p STYLE="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt ; font-size:8pt">&nbsp;</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center">2 </P>


<p Style='page-break-before:always'>
<HR  SIZE="3" style="COLOR:#999999" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon completion of the reports, the vendor then reviewed the responses for plausibility, consistency and gaps as
identified in its procedures. It followed up by email or phone with suppliers that submitted a response that triggers specified quality control flags, for example, incomplete responses, failure to acknowledge the conflict minerals policy or listing
a smelter in a Covered Country. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Responses from Suppliers </U></I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company requested that each supplier identify whether 3TGs are used in items produced for the Company, whether the minerals were recycled or scrap, and if
