&#147;we&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the &#147;Rule&#148;). Numerous terms in this Report are defined in the Rule and
our Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD and the reader is referred to those sources and to SEC Release No.&nbsp;34-67716 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) on August&nbsp;22, 2012 for such definitions.

in our products that we had reason to believe may have originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the &#147;DRC&#148;) or an adjoining country (collectively, the &#147;Covered Countries&#148;) and may not have come from recycled or scrap
sources, to determine whether such products were &#147;DRC conflict free&#148;. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by the Rule and Form SD, and pursuant to the guidance

and complexity of our products, and the constant evolution of our supply chain, it has been difficult to identify actors upstream from our direct suppliers. As a downstream purchaser of conflict minerals, we rely on our direct suppliers to provide
information on the origin of the conflict minerals contained in the products, components and materials supplied to us, including sources of conflict minerals that are supplied to them from their upstream suppliers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following our conflict minerals program described above, we identified 259 direct suppliers that supplied products or materials to us that may contain
conflict minerals and sent to each of them the EICC Template. We received responses to the supply chain survey from 96% of the suppliers surveyed. We reviewed the responses against criteria developed to determine which required further engagement
with our suppliers. These criteria included untimely or incomplete responses as well as inconsistencies within the data reported in the EICC Template. We have worked directly with these suppliers to request and obtain revised responses and
additional information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Most of the suppliers that responded to our supply chain survey were unable to identify the smelter, refiner, mine or location of
origin of the necessary conflict minerals contained in their products, largely due to an inability to obtain information from their upstream suppliers and confidentiality and proprietary information concerns. Additionally, the large majority of the
responses we received provided data at a company or divisional level or, as described above, were unable to specify the smelters or refiners used for products or materials supplied to us. We are therefore unable to determine whether the conflict
minerals reported by our suppliers were contained in actual products or materials supplied to us and incorporated into our products, and are unable to describe the facilities used to process those necessary conflict minerals or their country of
origin. </P>
