Valmont&#8217;s Infrastructure segment consists of the manufacture and distribution of products and solutions to serve the infrastructure markets of utility, solar, lighting and transportation, and telecommunications, along with coatings services to protect metal products.  Valmont&#8217;s Agriculture segment consists of the manufacture of center pivot and linear irrigation equipment components for agricultural markets, including aftermarket parts and tubular products, and advanced technology solutions for precision agriculture.  This Report has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and statements issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2024.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:12pt;">This Report relates to the process undertaken for Valmont products that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, during calendar year 2024 and that may contain gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Valmont Policy</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:12pt;">Valmont supports the objective of preventing armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries from benefitting from sourcing of conflict minerals from that region. Conflict minerals include gold, tin, tantalum, and tungsten (collectively, the &#8220;3TG&#8221;). The Dodd-Frank Act and related SEC rules require public companies to report to the SEC the presence of conflict minerals originating in the DRC or adjoining countries in the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture if the conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or the production of a product.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:12pt;">Valmont does not source conflict minerals directly from smelters or mines. Valmont evaluates its product line to determine which components of its products supplied by third parties may contain any of the 3TG necessary to product functionality or production. When Valmont determines a third party component contains any of these minerals, it surveys the suppliers of the product component on their sourcing, using an industry-approved survey for conflict minerals.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:12pt;">Valmont is committed to responsible conflict-free sourcing and to working with its suppliers to ensure they share this philosophy and are engaged in responsible conflict-free sourcing.</font></p></div></div><hr style="background-color:#000000;clear:both;color:#000000;height:2pt;line-height:0;margin-bottom:30pt;margin-left:11.76%;margin-right:11.76%;margin-top:30pt;page-break-after:always;width:76.47%;border-width:0;"><div style="max-width:100%;padding-left:11.76%;padding-right:11.76%;position:relative;"><div style="clear:both;max-width:100%;position:relative;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><b style="font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">DUE DILIGENCE</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><b style="font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Design of Due Diligence</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:12pt;">Valmont designed its due diligence measures in all material respects to conform to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, including the related supplements on tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><b style="font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Due Diligence Performed</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:12pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">In connection with identifying and assessing 3TG in the supply chain, Valmont engages in meetings with its internal management of group presidents and selected engineers to determine if any 3TGs were necessary to the functionality of Valmont products or production.
