The Company also rents equipment including generators, industrial compressors, high capacity lift trucks, and refrigeration trailers for use in a variety of industrial markets, and manufactures and remanufactures oilfield service equipment, including pressure pumping units, electric power generation equipment, specialized electrical distribution and control equipment, and high capacity energy storage/battery systems for oilfield service and railroad customers.</font></p>

The Company has relationships with a significant number of suppliers throughout the world and there are generally multiple tiers between the 3TG mines and the Company&#x2019;s direct suppliers.  As a result, the Company must rely on its direct suppliers to work with upstream suppliers in order that they may provide the Company with accurate information about the origin of 3TG in the products the Company purchases from its direct suppliers.</font></p>

For 2021, 349 of the Company&#x2019;s suppliers were identified by the Company&#x2019;s relevant business units as potentially supplying products that contain 3TG.  To determine whether 3TG are (i) contained in products manufactured by the Company or contracted by the Company to be manufactured by the Company and (ii) originated in in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, the Company retained Assent Compliance (&#x201c;Assent&#x201d;), a third-party service provider, to assist in reviewing its supply chain and identifying risks. The Company provided a list composed of suppliers and parts associated with the in-scope products to Assent for upload to the Assent Compliance Manager (&#x201c;ACM&#x201d;). To collect data on the materials&#x2019; sources of origin procured by the supply chain, the Company utilized the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC)&#x2013;Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template version 6.1 or higher (&#x201c;CMRT&#x201d;) to conduct a survey of all in-scope suppliers. During the supplier survey, the Company contacted suppliers via the ACM. The ACM provides functionality that meets The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and the related supplements process expectations for 3TG by evaluating the quality of each supplier response and assigning a health score based on the supplier&#x2019;s declaration of process engagement.  As part of the review process, the in-scope suppliers were requested to provide specified information regarding the inclusion of conflict minerals in the products supplied to the Company or its subsidiaries and the country of origin thereof, and, upon request, were provided a copy of the Company&#x2019;s current conflict minerals policy.  Each CMRT was evaluated for consistency, completeness, and accuracy and, in certain circumstances, further inquiries were made to clarify or improve the quality of the responses.  Moreover, suppliers providing no response or an inadequate response were subject to additional written or oral requests for information.  Information available from other sources (public and private) regarding the use and country of origin of conflict minerals in such suppliers&#x2019; products was also obtained and reviewed.</font></p>
