Following the industry standard process, CMRTs are sent to and requested from Tier 1 suppliers, who are expected to follow this process until the smelter and refiner sources are identified. The following is the result of the outreach conducted by Polaris for the 2024 reporting year.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Supply Chain Outreach Metrics</font></div><div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:100.000%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:13.499%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:47.251%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:35.950%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#215273;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><div style="text-align:center"><font style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Year</font></div></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#215273;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><div style="text-align:center;text-indent:18pt"><font style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Number of in-scope suppliers</font></div></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#215273;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><div style="text-align:center"><font style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Response rate</font></div></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#f3f3f3;border-bottom:1pt solid #ffffff;border-left:1pt solid #ffffff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:center;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">2024</font></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#f3f3f3;border-bottom:1pt solid #ffffff;border-left:1pt solid #ffffff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:center;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">2,356</font></td><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#f3f3f3;border-bottom:1pt solid #ffffff;border-left:1pt solid #ffffff;border-right:1pt solid #ffffff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:center;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">54.6%</font></td></tr></table></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Upstream Data Transparency</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Despite receiving responses from suppliers listing smelter or refiner names in their supply chain, the vast majority of our suppliers provided data at a &#8220;company&#8221; or &#8220;divisional&#8221; level, or otherwise were unable to accurately report which specific smelters were part of the supply chain for the components or parts containing the 3TG that was supplied to us. As is a common practice when requests are sent upstream in the supply chain, those who purchase materials from smelters are typically unable to discern which company&#8217;s product lines the materials may end up in. As a result, our suppliers typically list all smelters&#47;refiners they may purchase from within the reporting period. Therefore, we are not able to identify the specific facilities that processed the 3TG in our supply chain or to conclusively determine the country of origin of such 3TG.</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">  </font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">As disclosed above, our third-party service provider&#8217;s smelter validation program compared facilities listed by our suppliers to the list of smelters&#47;refiners consolidated by the Responsible Minerals Initiative to determine if the facilities met the recognized definition of a 3TG processing facility that was operational during the 2024 calendar year.
