<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Conflict Minerals Report (&#147;<U>CMR</U>&#148;) of Crown Holdings, Inc. (&#147;<U>Crown</U>&#148; or the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148;) for calendar year
2017 was prepared in accordance with Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1</FONT> under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Numerous terms in this CMR are defined in Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1</FONT> or in the related
Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;<U>SEC</U>&#148;) Release <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;34-67716</FONT> (August 22, 2012) and the reader is referred to the same for such definitions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Business Overview </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crown, through its subsidiaries, is a
leading supplier of packaging products to consumer marketing companies around the world. The Company determined that tin is contained in the tinplate steel it purchases for its metal packaging businesses. Additionally, the Company determined that
tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (&#147;<U>3TG</U>&#148;) may be contained in certain purchased components of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">high-performance</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery manufactured by
the Company. The vast majority of suppliers that supply the Company with products that contain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-tin</FONT> 3TG are suppliers to Crown&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery business.
This business generates less than 2% of Crown&#146;s net sales. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crown&#146;s supply chain is complex, and Crown is typically several tiers removed from
the smelter or refiner and mineral origin. Crown relies on its suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG necessary to the functionality or production of Crown&#146;s products. Crown has limited visibility beyond its direct suppliers
to entities within the supply chain. Therefore, Crown relies principally on its direct suppliers to provide it with sourcing information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Due
Diligence Design Overview </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crown&#146;s due diligence processes have been designed in conformance with the due diligence related steps of the framework
in The Organisation for Economic <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Co-operation</FONT> and Development (&#147;<U>OECD</U>&#148;) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third
Edition, and the related Supplements for 3TG, consistent with the Company&#146;s position as a downstream company. Crown also relied on information from the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (&#147;<U>RMAP</U>&#148;), formerly known as the
Conflict-Free Smelter Program, a voluntary initiative managed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (&#147;<U>RMI</U>&#148;), formerly known as the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative, in which an independent third party audits the procurement
activities of a smelter or refiner to determine, with reasonable confidence, that the minerals it processes originated from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">conflict-free</FONT> sources. Upon completion of a successful audit, the smelter or refiner
is designated by the RMI as &#147;Conformant.&#148; Where information from the RMI is not available, the Company conducts its own diligence, which includes: contacting its first-tier suppliers for additional information, conducting internet research
and analyzing the likelihood the 3TG originated from a Covered Country based on the smelter&#146;s location. To guide its due diligence, the Company has established a due diligence compliance process that includes a documentation and record
maintenance mechanism to ensure the retention of relevant documentation in a structured electronic database. Crown expects to continue to refine, revise and improve this compliance process as appropriate. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals contained in the covered products included the following
measures: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>OECD Step 1 &#150; Establish Strong Company Management Systems </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Policy</I>. Crown is in the process of adopting a company-wide Supplier Code of Conduct that will include Crown&#146;s commitment to responsible sourcing of
the conflict minerals in its products and its expectations that its suppliers will be similarly committed to responsible sourcing in the supply chain. Crown will communicate this to its first-tier suppliers and require them to acknowledge the
Supplier Code of Conduct. In addition, in Crown&#146;s purchase contracts for tinplate steel Crown currently requires that its suppliers comply with the conflict minerals rules. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Personnel</I>. The Company&#146;s conflict minerals compliance effort involved a cross-functional group of personnel from the legal, finance, and
operations functions. This team is responsible for implementing Crown&#146;s conflict minerals compliance strategy. </P>

<p Style='page-break-before:always'>
<HR  SIZE="3" style="COLOR:#999999" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Supplier Engagement</I>. The Company contacted all of the first-tier suppliers of tinplate steel for its metal
packaging business and almost all of the first-tier suppliers for its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery business to provide them with notice of the relevant SEC requirements and to advise them of the Company&#146;s
commitment to responsibly source materials and of its due diligence expectations. In addition, the Company plans to include its conflict minerals policy as part of its Supplier Code of Conduct. The Company intends to archive the received supplier
responses as part of its reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#147;<U>RCOI</U>&#148;) and due diligence. Feedback from this process will be used to modify, where appropriate, the design of the Company&#146;s conflict minerals compliance program.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Grievance Mechanism</I>. The Company&#146;s existing procedures for reporting code of conduct or other ethics violations are also available for
reporting conflict minerals compliance problems. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>OECD Step 2 &#150; Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Identification of Risk</I>. To identify risks in its supply chain, the Company contacted all of the first-tier tinplate steel suppliers for its metal
packaging business and almost all of the first-tier suppliers for its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery business identified through its RCOI to request information regarding the source and chain of custody of conflict
minerals in its supply chain. To facilitate the collection of complete, accurate, standardized and verifiable information, the Company relied primarily on the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the &#147;<U>CMRT</U>&#148;) made available by the
RMI. The CMRT facilitates the transfer of information through the supply chain regarding country of origin, mine location and smelters and refiners used. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the CMRT are available on
the RMI&#146;s website. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Assessment of Risk</I>.<I> </I>Upon receipt of completed CMRTs from its suppliers, the Company assessed the due diligence
efforts of any identified smelter or refiner by examining the information provided in the CMRT to determine if the smelter or refiner has been validated under the RMI&#146;s RMAP as &#147;Conformant.&#148; The RMAP provides information regarding
those smelters or refiners that, following an independent third-party audit, have been found to be compliant with the RMAP&#146;s assessment protocols to assure sourcing of only conflict-free materials. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company expects to take the following steps, among others, to improve its due diligence measures, increase supply chain transparency and further mitigate

in Crown&#146;s metal packaging products. Tin is the only conflict mineral identified in the Company&#146;s metal packaging business. Every one of these tin smelters has been identified by the RMI as &#147;Conformant&#148; or was cleared by the
Company&#146;s own due diligence investigation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Can-Making</FONT> Machinery Products </U></I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of Crown&#146;s RCOI process and due diligence for its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery business products, which
account for less than 2% of Crown&#146;s net sales, Crown identified as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> and contacted a total of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">fifty-eight</FONT> (58)&nbsp;suppliers. Fifty-four
(54)&nbsp;suppliers, representing more than 93% of the suppliers contacted and, collectively, more than 94% of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery business&#146;s annual purchases of raw materials and components,
responded to Crown&#146;s inquiry. Of the suppliers who provided completed CMRTs, four&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;suppliers indicated the intentional addition or use of 3TG in their products or production process but were unable to identify the smelters that
provided the 3TG found in the products sourced to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery business. The information provided by those four suppliers was often incomplete or unverifiable. Additionally, based on the
information provided by Crown&#146;s suppliers, it cannot be verified that all the smelters identified contributed to parts that ended up in Crown products. </P>

Company&#146;s tinplate steel suppliers. <U>Schedule 1</U> lists the countries of origin of the tin processed by smelters verified by the RMI and identified by the Company&#146;s tinplate steel suppliers. Because of the long supply chain from most
smelters to the component suppliers to the Company&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery business, information provided to the Company by its component suppliers did not enable the Company to verify the country of
origin for all of the 3TG added to the specific parts that ended up in Crown&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery products. </P>
