Our primary end markets include process industries (chemical production, oil &#38; gas, power, and general industrial), non-residential and municipal construction, payment automation solutions, banknote design and production, aerospace, defense and space, along with a wide range of general industrial and certain consumer related end markets.  As a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered industrial products, Crane Co. is several tiers removed from mining operations and smelters or refiners (SORs) and has no visibility into the supply chain beyond our direct suppliers.  The Company cannot exclude the possibility that at least a portion of its necessary conflict minerals may have originated in the DRC, and that they may not be from recycled or scrap sources.  For that reason, we have included a Conflict Minerals Report as an Exhibit to our Form SD filed with the SEC for 2020.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The purpose of this report is to explain the steps that we have performed to comply with the Dodd-Frank Act and related regulations, as they pertain to conflict minerals. Our first step has consisted of making inquiries to our suppliers to determine whether conflict minerals are present within the products that they sell to us.  As conflict minerals are often necessary for the functionality of the electronic components and certain machined metal components we purchase from our first tier suppliers as subcomponents to our manufactured products, we have determined it necessary to simultaneously begin the second compliance step.  </font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:174%">Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We have conducted an analysis of our products and found that the conflict minerals tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold, can be found in multiple Crane Co. products.&#160;
