<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
2019 was prepared in accordance with Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1</FONT> under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company&#146;s Conflict Minerals Policy. 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. Throughout this report, the minerals tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (collectively, &#147;<U>3TG</U>&#148;), when sourced in a way that directly or indirectly finances or benefits armed groups in Covered Countries, are referred to as
&#147;<U>conflict minerals</U>.&#148; </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 Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiaries, is a leading global supplier of rigid packaging products to consumer marketing companies, as well as transit
and protective packaging products, equipment and services to a broad range of end markets. The Company has determined that tin is contained in the tinplate steel it purchases for its metal packaging businesses. Additionally, the Company has
determined that 3TG may be contained in certain purchased components for its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> and transit packaging machinery and equipment products, as well as the tools (and spare parts) that it makes for transit
packaging. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Crown does not directly purchase any of the 3TG minerals. 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 for tracing and sourcing 3TG in its products 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;), a voluntary initiative managed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (the &#147;<U>RMI</U>&#148;) 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 that the 3TG originated from a Covered Country based on the smelter&#146;s location. In addition, Crown has engaged Assent Compliance (&#147;<U>Assent</U>&#148;), a third-party service
provider, to assist with the contacting of and processing of responses received from suppliers to its transit packaging machinery, equipment, tool and spare <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">parts-making</FONT> businesses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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. Documentation with respect to the Company&#146;s transit packaging machinery, equipment, tool and </P>

Company&#146;s due diligence compliance process. The Company expects to continue to refine, revise and improve its due diligence 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 3TG 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 aims to avoid the use of conflict minerals in the manufacture of its products and is committed to complying with its reporting obligations
under applicable law. Crown has adopted a company-wide Conflict Minerals Policy which is set forth on its website at <U>https://www.crowncork.com/conflict-minerals-policy</U>. In addition, Crown&#146;s Supplier Code of Conduct includes a provision
regarding responsible sourcing (Origin Mapping), and Crown&#146;s written contracts with its tinplate steel suppliers, and most of Crown&#146;s written contracts with suppliers to its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery and
equipment business, contain an obligation of the supplier to cooperate with Crown in its efforts to eliminate conflict minerals from the supply chain. Implementation of this program is in process at the Company&#146;s new transit packaging
machinery, equipment, tool and spare parts-making businesses. Suppliers who do not comply with Crown&#146;s Conflict Minerals Policy may be denied future business, and those who violate contractual provisions or policies are subject to enforcement
actions by Crown. </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="margin-top:12pt; 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 contacted (or arranged for Assent to contact) almost all of the first-tier suppliers for its
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery and equipment business and transit packaging machinery, equipment, tool and spare parts-making businesses 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. 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 due diligence compliance process. </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 first assessed the likelihood of the presence of conflict minerals in each of
its products. If a product clearly does not contain 3TG (e.g., aluminum cans), the inquiry ended. For each of its other products, the Company used its own and outside resources to determine whether such product contains 3TG. At the end of this
process, the Company determined that most of its steel containers and container components (e.g., cans, jar lids and bottle caps) contain tin. The Company also has determined that its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery and
equipment business and its transit packaging machinery, equipment, tool and spare <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">parts-making</FONT> businesses, may contain 3TG. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company then contacted all of the first-tier suppliers of tinplate steel for its metal packaging

parts-making businesses identified through its RCOI to request information regarding the source and chain of custody of 3TG 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

protocols to assure sourcing of only conflict-free materials. Where information from the RMI is not available, or where the supplier provides information in a form other than the CMRT, the Company conducts its own diligence, which includes:
contacting its first-tier suppliers for additional information, conducting internet research and analyzing the likelihood that the 3TG originated from a Covered Country based on the smelter&#146;s location. In addition, the Company has engaged
Assent to conduct CMRT validation checks as part of the due diligence of its transit packaging machinery, equipment, tool and spare parts-making businesses. Assent evaluates supplier responses for plausibility, consistency, and gaps, and conducts
additional supplier inquiries to address issues such as incomplete data on CMRTs, responses that did not identify smelters or refiners for listed metals, and responses that identified organizations as smelters or refiners which were not verified as
such through further analysis and research. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>OECD Step 3 &#150;&nbsp;Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks </I></P>
