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>

chips and tungsten studs is not significant. In 2024, 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. 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 22 tin smelters that provided conflict minerals that were ultimately incorporated into our products. </P>

activities. We used the Conformant Smelter Sourcing Information 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 six 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 (16 smelters). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For information on the due diligence that we performed with respect to the source and
