<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
2020 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:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Business Overview </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; 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 (the &#147;<U>Metal Packaging
Business</U>&#148;). Additionally, the Company has determined that 3TG may be contained in certain purchased components for the products of both its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">can-making</FONT> machinery and equipment business (the
&#147;<U>Can Machinery Business</U>&#148;) and its transit packaging machinery and equipment businesses, as well as the tools (and spare parts) that it makes for transit packaging (collectively, the &#147;<U>Transit Machinery Businesses</U>&#148;).
</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. Because Crown has limited visibility beyond its direct suppliers to entities within the supply chain, Crown relies principally on its direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG necessary
to the functionality or production of Crown&#146;s products. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Due Diligence Design Overview </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; 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 Machinery
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 Machinery Businesses is first separately

collected and stored using the Assent Compliance Platform before being integrated in the rest of the 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:12pt; 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:12pt; 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 the tinplate steel suppliers to its Metal Packaging Business, and most of Crown&#146;s written contracts with suppliers to its Can Machinery Business
and Transit Machinery Businesses, contain obligations of the suppliers to cooperate with Crown in its efforts to eliminate conflict minerals from the supply chain. 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 involves 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 Can Machinery Business and Transit Machinery 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:12pt; 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:12pt; 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 Can Machinery Business&#146; products and its Transit Machinery
Businesses&#146; products may contain 3TG. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; 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 Business
and contacted (or arranged for Assent to contact) almost all of the first-tier suppliers for its Can Machinery Business and Transit Machinery 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 </P>

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>

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. 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 Machinery 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:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>OECD Step 3 &#150;&nbsp;Design and Implement a Strategy

Crown&#146;s RCOI process and due diligence for its Can Machinery Business&#146; products, which account for less than 2% of Crown&#146;s net sales in fiscal year 2020, Crown identified as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> and

twenty-three (23)&nbsp;suppliers indicated that one or more of the smelters that provided the 3TG found in the parts, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-assemblies</FONT> or components sold to them did source from a Covered Country (and had not
been validated under the RMI&#146;s RMAP as &#147;Conformant&#148;). None of these four (4)&nbsp;suppliers, who each sell a wide range of general supply products such as hardware, controllers and other components, had the capability to identify the
country of origin of the 3TG found in the products that they specifically sold to Crown because of the nature of the products sold to Crown. Twelve (12)&nbsp;of the twenty-three (23)&nbsp;suppliers indicated that none of the smelters that provided
the 3TG found in the products sold to Crown sourced from a Covered Country. Every one of the smelters identified by these twelve (12)&nbsp;suppliers has been identified by the RMI as &#147;Conformant&#148; or was cleared by the Company&#146;s own
due diligence investigation. The remaining seven (7)&nbsp;of the twenty-three (23)&nbsp;suppliers either (i)&nbsp;indicated that the 3TG found in the products sold to Crown was not sourced from a Covered Country but did not provide a smelter list to
verify the declaration or (ii)&nbsp;indicated that they were unable to confirm that one or more of the smelters that provided the 3TG found in the products sold to Crown did not source from a Covered Country because of the nature of the products
sold to Crown. The information provided by the responding suppliers was often incomplete or unverifiable. Additionally, based on the information provided by many of Crown&#146;s suppliers who are engaged in general supply industries such as
hardware, controllers and other components, it cannot be verified that all the smelters identified contributed to parts that ended up in Crown products or even that the 3TG materials were incorporated in Crown products, since some of these responses
