the conflict minerals contained in our products. Once we received a completed Template from a supplier, we evaluated the Template for completeness and accuracy, and made further inquiries of our suppliers in order to clarify or improve the quality
of their responses to us. Our objective was to identify each of the smelters that placed conflict minerals into our supply chain, which we believed would facilitate our ability to identify the country of origin of the conflict minerals contained in
our products. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We excluded tungsten studs and RFID chips from our RCOI because our spending on tungsten studs and RFID
chips is not significant. In 2022, we had a total of 15 direct suppliers of bead wire. We received Templates that we deemed to be complete from all of those suppliers, except for one supplier from whom we purchased less than 0.05% of our spend on
bead wire. We deemed a Template to be complete if it identified all of the smelters in a supplier&#146;s supply chain. Based on the Templates that we reviewed, we identified 31 tin smelters that provided conflict minerals that were ultimately
incorporated into our products. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (&#147;RMI&#148;), an industry initiative that audits
smelters&#146; and refiners&#146; due diligence activities. We used the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry reports that we received as part of our RMI membership (the &#147;RMI RCOI Report&#148;) to identify the potential countries of origin for
all of our smelters. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the RMI RCOI Report, we identified four tin smelters that supplied conflict minerals to our suppliers and that we had
reason to believe may have sourced conflict minerals directly or indirectly from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the &#147;Covered Countries&#148;). Based on the RMI RCOI Report, we also determined that a
portion of our conflict minerals did not originate in the Covered Countries (25 smelters) or were solely from recycled or scrap sources (two smelters). </P>

each of the suppliers that directly supply us with components that contain conflict minerals in order to collect product-level information on all of the smelters in their supply chain, as well as the country of origin, source and chain of custody of

smelters&#146; and refiners&#146; due diligence activities, in order to satisfy several of the recommendations outlined in the OECD Guidance. Through our membership in the RMI, we reviewed information provided by the Responsible Minerals Assurance
Process of the RMI to assist us in determining whether a smelter was sourcing conflict minerals in a socially responsible manner. If a smelter was included on the Conformant Smelter List maintained by the RMI, we determined that we would rely on the
results of that third-party audit for purposes of (1)&nbsp;the risk assessment with respect to the conflict minerals supply chain and (2)&nbsp;the evaluation of whether the smelter has effective due diligence practices. </P>
