As required by Rule 13p-1, the Company designed and conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#8220;RCOI&#8221;) intended to determine whether any of the 3TGs in our products originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country (as defined in paragraph (d)(1) of Item 1.01 of Form SD) (&#8220;Covered Countries&#8221;). </font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.28;margin-bottom:8pt;margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';">To implement the RCOI, the Company reviewed its supply chain and surveyed its direct suppliers using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, version 6.3 or higher (&#8220;CMRT&#8221;) to collect information regarding the presence and sourcing of 3TGs used in the materials and products supplied to the Company. In-scope suppliers received an initial communication requesting CMRTs, with non-responsive suppliers receiving weekly follow-up requests after June 3, 2024, until March 28, 2025, the final deadline for suppliers to provide information for the Reporting Period. Suppliers were also contacted regarding invalid or incomplete forms and encouraged to make corrections and submit a valid form. AE searched non-responsive suppliers&#8217; websites for their CMRT and provided guidance to suppliers on how to correct validation errors via direct engagement and in the form of feedback on their CMRTs. The total response rate for the Reporting Period was 93%, with no invalid submissions. This compares to a response rate of 95% for the 2023 reporting year. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.28;margin-bottom:8pt;margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';">Based on its RCOI, the Company determined it had insufficient information to conclude either (i) that all of its 3TGs originated outside the Covered Countries or from sources within the Covered Countries deemed &#8220;Conformant&#8221; by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (&#8220;RMI&#8221;), or (ii) that all of its 3TGs came from recycled or scrap sources.

As a result, our due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs. Our due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking and relying on data from our direct suppliers and those suppliers seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the 3TGs. We also rely, to a large extent, on information collected and provided by responsible mineral sourcing validation programs, as well as on the independent, private-sector audits conducted as part of the RMI&#8217;s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (&#8220;RMAP&#8221;) on the source (including mines of origin) and chain of custody of the 3TGs processed by participating SORs.

Based on the list of SORs maintained by the RMI, the CMRTs and the RCOI responses received from its suppliers, the Company identified a total of 262 SORs that may be in its supply chain. These SORs were compared to the RMAP list of audited SORs. Of the 262 SORs identified as potentially in the Company&#8217;s supply chain, 92% are RMAP conformant; however, for the significant majority of SORs reported by the Company&#8217;s suppliers, there is inadequate information available to assess the source of the 3TGs they process. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.28;margin-bottom:8pt;margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';">Therefore, AE concluded in good faith that it lacks sufficient information to trace the source and chain of custody of any 3TGs contained in its products up through the supply chain to a specific SOR or, in turn, to a country or mine of origin. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.28;margin-bottom:8pt;margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><u style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';text-decoration-color:#000000;text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-style:solid;">Additional Information</u></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';">A copy of this specialized disclosure report on Form SD is publicly available on the legal/environment-sustainability section of our website at: https://www.advancedenergy.com/en-us/legal/environment-sustainability/</font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.28;margin-bottom:8pt;margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><u style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';text-decoration-color:#000000;text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-style:solid;">Forward-Looking Statement Disclaimer</u></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 25.2pt 0pt 25.2pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';">This report includes forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our due diligence measures and our conclusions that we lack sufficient information to trace the source and chain of custody of any 3TGs contained in our products.
