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&#8217;s Legal Department and Sustainable Development Department identified suppliers of the In-Scope Products that the Company contracted to have manufactured.  These suppliers were generally suppliers of lighting products and decorative accessories.  All identified suppliers of the In-Scope products, were contacted as part of our outreach efforts, and we received completed surveys from all 96 suppliers.     </font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="margin-bottom:0.1pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">Based on our 2024 RCOI, these suppliers identified 258 smelters and refiners that may be in our supply chain, which the Company believes represent the majority of the relevant smelters and refiners.  Of the 258 smelters, 251 or approximately 97% are validated as conformant with the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process.  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 (&#8220;Covered Country&#8221;).  One supplier identified one smelter located in one Covered Countries (Rwanda), but the supplier was not able to determine whether the 3TGs that came from this smelter were in products supplied to us.  </font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700;line-height:133%;text-decoration:underline">Section 5.

The Company performed a good-faith review of the responses received from suppliers and performed an assessment of the data and requested additional information from suppliers as appropriate.
