the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements that do not relate to historical or current facts or matters are forward-looking statements. You can identify some of the forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words,
such as &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;believe&#148; and the like, or the use of future tense. Statements concerning current conditions may also be forward-looking if they imply a continuation of current conditions. Examples of
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the additional steps that we intend to take to mitigate the risk that our necessary 3TG benefit armed groups. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual actions or performance to differ materially from those expressed
in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (1)&nbsp;the continued implementation of satisfactory traceability and other compliance measures by our direct and indirect suppliers on a timely basis
or at all, (2)&nbsp;whether smelters and refiners and other market participants responsibly source 3TG and (3)&nbsp;political and regulatory developments, whether in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&#147;DRC&#148;), its adjoining countries,
the United States or elsewhere. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this Conflict Minerals Report are made only as of the date of this Conflict Minerals Report, and we
do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or correct any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which we hereafter become aware. You should read this document completely and with the
understanding that actual events may be materially different from what we expect. We may not update these forward-looking statements, even if our situation changes in the future. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly
qualified by these cautionary statements. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Applicability of the Conflict Minerals Rule to Our Company </B></P>

product management services to companies in the automotive, consumer lifestyles and wearable technologies, computing and storage, defense and aerospace, digital home, emerging growth, healthcare, industrial and energy, mobility, networking and
telecommunications, packaging, point of sale and printing industries. Based on net revenue, for the six months ended February&nbsp;28, 2017, our largest customers currently include Apple, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., GoPro, Inc., Hewlett-Packard
Company, Ingenico S.A., LM Ericsson Telephone Company, NetApp, Inc., Nokia Networks, Valeo S.A. and Zebra Technologies Corporation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The products that we
manufactured that were in-scope for purposes of the Conflict Minerals Rule in 2016 primarily consisted of (1)&nbsp;assemblies that we manufactured, (2)&nbsp;stamped metal parts, (3)&nbsp;mechanical enclosures, (4)&nbsp;injection molding parts and
(5)&nbsp;industrial tooling and equipment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We do not source the necessary 3TG in the in-scope products that we manufacture directly from mines, smelters
or refiners and believe that we are in most cases many levels removed from these market participants. In addition, </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
many of the components and parts contained in the in-scope products that we manufacture are sourced directly by our customers. However, through the efforts described in this Conflict Minerals
Report, we seek to ensure that our sourcing practices are consistent with our Conflict Minerals Policy, which is discussed in the section below, and to encourage conflict free sourcing in our supply chain. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For 2016, none of the necessary 3TG contained in the in-scope products that we manufactured were determined by us to directly or indirectly finance or benefit
armed groups in the DRC or an adjoining country. However, we did not conclude that any of these products were &#147;DRC conflict free.&#148; The terms &#147;adjoining country,&#148; &#147;armed group&#148; and &#147;DRC conflict free&#148; have the
meanings contained in the Conflict Minerals Rule. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Our Conflict Minerals Policy </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are committed to responsible sourcing of 3TG as well as full compliance with the requirements of the Conflict Minerals Rule. Furthermore, as a founding
member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (&#147;EICC&#148;), we embrace its due diligence and reporting processes that seek to ensure supply chain transparency. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In furtherance of the foregoing, we have adopted and communicated to our suppliers and the public a company policy (the &#147;Conflict Minerals Policy&#148;)
