<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We reasonably designed and conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#147;RCOI&#148;) on the source of our Conflict Minerals for the
2015 reporting period. Our RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether the tin (&#147;Conflict Minerals&#148;) contained in certain of our products originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the &#147;Covered
Countries&#148;) or was from recycled or scrap sources. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on our RCOI, we have no reason to believe that our necessary Conflict Minerals may have
originated in the Covered Countries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We determined that tin was contained in the tinplate steel and certain coatings we purchase. As part of our RCOI, we
contacted all 71 of our direct suppliers that potentially sold tinplate steel and coatings containing Conflict Minerals to us during the reporting period. We sent letters to all of our direct suppliers requesting that they (i) disclose if the
Conflict Minerals contained in the products sold to us originated in the Covered Countries and (ii) provide a list of the smelters that processed the Conflict Minerals contained in the products sold to us. Excluding a supplier who is bankrupt and
one who refused to respond to our inquiries, we received complete responses from 100% of our direct suppliers.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In response to our RCOI, most of our
suppliers returned certifications stating that the Conflict Minerals contained in the products supplied to us did not originate in the Covered Countries. In addition to certifications, many suppliers referenced their own Conflict Minerals Policies,
which prohibit the sourcing of Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries or prohibit the sourcing of Conflict Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. Most of our suppliers also provided
information regarding the smelters that process the Conflict Minerals contained in the products sold to us. We compared these smelters against the list of smelters that have received a &#147;conflict free&#148; designation from the Conflict Free
Sourcing Initiative (&#147;CFSI&#148;). Almost all of the smelters identified by our suppliers have received a &#147;conflict free&#148; designation from CFSI. For those that were not on the CFSI list, we conducted our own diligence, which included
additional support provided by our direct suppliers and our own review of publicly available information about the smelters. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">None of our direct suppliers
indicated that the Conflict Minerals contained in the products sold to us originated in the Covered Countries. To our knowledge, there is no contrary evidence or &#147;red flags&#148; that cast doubt on the representations made by our suppliers.
Therefore, we have determined after our RCOI, reasonably designed and conducted in good faith, that we have no reason to believe that our necessary Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries. </P>
