Based on our inquiry, we have found that Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of some of our products manufactured or contracted to manufacture in 2024 (&#8220;2024 products&#8221;). </font></div><div style="margin-top:12pt;padding-left:22.5pt;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:15pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">1.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Product Description</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9.9pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Based on our due diligence, we determined that Conflict Minerals were necessary to the functionality or production of various products from our hardware product offerings list, which includes a varied array of equipment that processes direct mail and&#47;or enables transactional mail management and analytics that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture in 2024. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9.9pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Some examples of these products include&#58; postage meters, low-&#47;medium-&#47;high-volume mailing systems that can weigh, seal and apply postage to envelopes&#59; inserters&#59; folders&#59; mail openers&#59; tabbers&#59; scales&#59; printers&#59; accessories&#59; lockers&#59; and peripherals.</font></div><div style="margin-top:12pt;padding-left:22.5pt;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:15pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">2.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#8220;RCOI&#8221;) to determine whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals in the 2024 products originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.

We did not buy any minerals directly from mines, smelters, or refiners for use in the 2024 products. We requested data from our Surveyed Suppliers (as defined below) on the smelters or refiners of necessary Conflict Minerals that may have been contained in the 2024 products, which we used for this reporting period to identify the potential countries of origin of 3TG processed by those smelters or refiners.

Since Pitney Bowes does not buy Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners, we must rely on our suppliers to provide us with information regarding the source of the Conflict Minerals contained in the products and parts those suppliers provide to us. Our direct suppliers are similarly reliant upon information provided by their suppliers. Accordingly, we have designed our due diligence to leverage the due diligence tools developed by RMI, including a supplier survey based on RMI&#8217;s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, which is designed to help companies identify the smelters and refiners that process the Conflict Minerals in a company&#8217;s supply chain. We have incorporated the following five-step, risk-based approach to 3TG due diligence based on OECD Guidance into the design of our Conflict Minerals due diligence program&#58;</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:4.725%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:63.809%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:28.166%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#160;</font></td><td colspan="6" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#160;</font></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt 2px 18.17pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#8226;</font></td><td colspan="6" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">establish and maintain appropriate internal management systems to identify and manage 3TG in our global supply chain&#59;</font></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#160;</font></td><td colspan="6" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#160;</font></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt 2px 18.17pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#8226;</font></td><td colspan="6" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">identify and assess any risks associated with the use of 3TG in our supply chain by obtaining and evaluating 3TG sourcing information from suppliers&#59;</font></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#160;</font></td><td colspan="6" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#160;</font></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt 2px 18.17pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#8226;</font></td><td colspan="6" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">design and implement a strategy to respond to 3TG risks in our supply chain&#59;</font></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#160;</font></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:middle"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:8pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#160;</font></td><td colspan="3" style="padding:0 1pt"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt 2px 18.17pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#8226;</font></td><td colspan="6" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">support independent auditing of smelter and refiner due diligence practices&#59;

Based on this initial discussion, the Product Compliance Team works with our Procurement and Legal departments to determine an appropriate engagement strategy. This engagement could include requesting that the supplier encourage any non-conformant smelter to participate in the RMAP, requiring the supplier to implement a risk management plan, or other actions. In the event that a supplier does not make efforts to comply with our requests, this process may ultimately result in disengagement of the supplier.  Pitney Bowes recognizes that the intent of the Rule is not to stop commercial ties with smelters and refiners sourcing Conflict Minerals from the DRC or adjoining countries, but to ensure that these minerals are being responsibly sourced and are not directly or indirectly financing or benefitting armed groups in those countries. Disengagement of suppliers is therefore a measure of last resort following efforts to engage with suppliers to ensure responsible sourcing.</font></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:14pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">E.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:13pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Support for Independent Third-Party Audits of 3TG Supply Chain Due Diligence</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="margin-bottom:9.9pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Since we do not have direct relationships with smelters or refiners, we did not perform direct audits of these entities&#8217; supply chains of Conflict Minerals.
