			<font style="display:inline;font-size:10pt;">Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Final Rule on Conflict Minerals, 17 CFR Parts 240 and 249b (the "SEC Final Rule"), we have performed a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding Conflict Minerals from applicable suppliers using the template designed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI").&nbsp;&nbsp;Our procedures included communicating to Matrix's suppliers the importance of compliance with the SEC Final Rule.&nbsp;&nbsp;Because Matrix lacks direct access to sub-tier suppliers, we relied on Matrix's contract manufacturers to provide information on the origin of the Conflict Minerals contained in any products supplied to us using the RMI template.&nbsp;&nbsp;We received 85% of requested supply-chain surveys from Matrix's contract manufacturers and those responses did not provide complete information regarding all Conflict Minerals that may have been contained in the products they manufactured for us.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nevertheless, we reviewed the supply-chain surveys against the list of smelter facilities which have been identified as "conflict free" by the RMI and the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process and performed independent searches for information on the smelter facilities included in each supply-chain survey.&nbsp; </font>

			<font style="display:inline;font-size:10pt;">Our inquiry into the sources and chain of custody of any Conflict Minerals in our products did not provide us enough information to determine whether the Conflict Minerals used by Matrix in its products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries, directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups, or came from recycled or scrap sources for the year ended December 31, 2019. &nbsp; &nbsp;</font>
