under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the &#147;<U>Rule</U>&#148;). The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;<U>SEC</U>&#148;) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as
directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (&#147;<U>Dodd-Frank Act</U>&#148;). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are
necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict Minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold
(&#147;<U>3TG</U>&#148;). These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict. </P>

activities of all majority-owned subsidiaries that are required to be consolidated for the period covered by this report. It does not include the activities of entities that are not required to be consolidated. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Chart is a leading diversified independent global manufacturer of highly engineered cryogenic equipment servicing multiple market
applications in the industrial gas and clean energy industries and a leading provider of technology, equipment and services related to liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, biogas, CO2 Capture and water treatment, among other applications. Our cryogenic
equipment and engineered systems are primarily used for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-temperature</FONT> and cryogenic applications, utilizing our expertise in cryogenic systems and equipment, which operate at low temperatures sometimes
approaching absolute zero (0 kelvin; <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">-273&deg;</FONT> Centigrade; <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">-459&deg;</FONT> Fahrenheit). Our products include vacuum insulated containment vessels, heat exchangers, cold boxes,
water treatment systems and other cryogenic products and components used in the storage, distribution, vaporization, separation, liquefaction, purification, and application of industrial gases and certain hydrocarbons. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B><U>Supply Chain </U></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">The raw materials we use
in manufacturing our products include aluminum products (including sheets, bars, plate and piping), stainless steel products (including sheets, plates, heads and piping), palladium oxide, carbon steel products (including sheets, plates and heads),
valves and gauges and fabricated metal components. We relied on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to us &#150; including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from
lower tier suppliers. While we have some <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-existing</FONT> supply contracts with some of our suppliers which do not allow us to unilaterally impose new contract terms and flow-down requirements, as we enter into
new supplier relationships and new contracts with existing suppliers, we are implementing requirements that suppliers provide information about the source of conflict minerals and smelters that process the necessary conflict minerals in the products
they supply to us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Because of our size, the complexity of our products, and the depth, breadth, and constant evolution of our supply

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">To conduct our RCOI, we engaged with our suppliers (including by engaging a
third-party platform, iPoint, as described below) and made inquiries to those suppliers about the source of our necessary 3TG minerals and the smelters or refiners used to process those 3TG minerals. In our supplier engagement, we requested
information from our suppliers about their supply chain and about the source and country of origin of the 3TG which they supplied to us. Because we do not have direct relationships with smelters or refiners in our supply chain, we asked our
suppliers to engage with their own suppliers to gather the requested information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">In designing our processes to comply with the

and material goods<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">1</SUP>, which represented approximately 54%<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">2</SUP> of our total spend on materials in 2023. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">We received responses from approximately 85% of our surveyed suppliers. Suppliers who did not respond or whose responses were incomplete
were repeatedly contacted to attempt to obtain information. Because of the complexities of our supply chain and the fact that we did not receive responses from approximately 15% of our surveyed suppliers and detailed information from some of our
surveyed suppliers, we are unable to determine the origin of all of the 3TG in our products and therefore cannot exclude the possibility that some may have originated in the Covered Countries. For that reason, we conducted due diligence on the
source and chain of custody of the necessary 3TG minerals in our products and we are accordingly submitting this Conflict Minerals Report as an Exhibit to our Form SD. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">One area of improvement that the Company focused on during reporting year 2023 was the integration of Howden and its suppliers into our
management system, due diligence process, and overall reporting and risk identification and assessment process. The addition of the Howden suppliers increased the number of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-scope</FONT> suppliers surveyed,
providing a more holistic picture of the materials supplied to Chart Industries, Inc. in 2023. As such, we first identified the relevant business units and corresponding subject matter experts to ensure that our initial data capture would be focused
on a risk-based approach. Our subject matter experts assisted in our initial review of our products and determined that there is the potential for some of them to contain 3TG. Furthermore, given the complexity of our supply chain and the limitations
on our ability to track all the materials supplied and incorporated into all of our products, we determined that it remains impracticable to refine our risk identification to isolate suppliers by product, although we were able to identify categories
of procurement information that enhanced our risk identification. Therefore, we determined that the most reasonable approach would be to conduct a survey of suppliers that were identified by our subject matter experts as being <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">at-risk</FONT> for potentially containing the subject minerals in the materials they provided to us, in addition to applying a minimum dollar threshold of components or other material goods to us. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Our strategy to respond to risks was designed with supplier engagement as the primary element, as described above. In order to identify
risk and respond to risk in the supply chain, we implemented a strategy of verifying supplier provided data on a cross-industry standard template. Specifically, we conducted a survey of our suppliers described above using a comprehensive online
conflict minerals reporting platform called iPoint and the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the &#147;<U>Template</U>&#148;) developed the Responsible Minerals Initiative (&#147;<U>RMI</U>&#148;). The iPoint platform was developed in
coordination with the automotive and other industries to optimize information gathering and data analysis for conflict minerals reporting. The data collected in iPoint is based on the Template. The Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and
communication of information regarding smelters that provide material to a company&#146;s supply chain. It includes questions regarding a company&#146;s conflict-free policy, engagement with its direct suppliers, and a listing of the smelters the
company and its suppliers use. In addition, the Template contains questions about the origin of 3TG included in their products, as well as supplier due diligence. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the tool is
available on RMI&#146;s website and on iPoint. </P>
