forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and
include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as &#147;future,&#148; &#147;anticipates,&#148; &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;estimates,&#148;

guarantees of future performance and the Company&#146;s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Achievement of anticipated results is subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and
inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. You should bear this in mind
as you consider forward-looking statements, and you are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by law or by the rules and regulations of the SEC. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects. 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. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual actions or performance to differ materially from those expressed
in the forward-looking statements 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. </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>

parts and (5)&nbsp;industrial tooling and equipment. We do not source the necessary 3TG in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> 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, many of the components and parts contained in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> 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 Responsible Minerals Policy, which is discussed in the section below, and to encourage conflict free sourcing in
our supply chain. For 2023, we did not conclude that our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> products were &#147;DRC conflict free.&#148; The terms &#147;DRC conflict free&#148; and &#147;adjoining country&#148; and &#147;armed

6,494 suppliers (the &#147;Suppliers&#148;) that we identified as having provided us with components, parts or products that contain 3TG or that we believe may have provided us with components, parts or products that potentially contain <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> 3TG. To better enable us to focus our outreach and other compliance efforts on the appropriate suppliers, we continued to refine our scoping process for 2023. For 2023, the Suppliers identified to us 277
validated smelters and refiners that may have processed the necessary 3TG contained in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> products that we manufactured. As of March 31, 2024, 241 of the identified smelters and refiners were listed
as Conformant (as later defined) smelters and refiners by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (the &#147;RMI&#148;), and 8 were listed as Active (as later defined). Based on our RCOI, we determined that 113 of these smelters and refiners sourced
only from outside of the DRC and its adjoining countries or from recycled or scrap sources, as described under &#147;Identified Smelters and Refiners.&#148; Our determination was based on information provided by the RMI to its members. </P>
