The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite or their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten (together with gold, &#8220;3TG&#8221;).

Instead, the Company relies on third-party audits of smelters&#47;refiners (industry recognized audit&#47;assessment programs). As an example, RMAP uses independent private-sector auditors, and audits the source, including the mines of origin, and the chain of custody of the conflict minerals used by smelters&#47;refiners that agree to participate in the program.</font></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Assent directly engages smelters&#47;refiners that are not currently enrolled in an industry recognized audit&#47;assessment program to encourage their participation and for those smelters&#47;refiners already conformant to the corresponding program&#8217;s standards.

As a result, those providing the smelters&#47;refiners have the practice to list all smelters&#47;refiners they may purchase from within the reporting period. Therefore, the smelters&#47;refiners (as sources) identified by upstream sources are likely to be more comprehensive than those smelters&#47;refiners which processed the 3TG contained in Tennant&#8217;s products. </font></div><div style="margin-top:10pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Tennant worked with Assent to review those smelters&#47;refiners reported as being potentially in our supply chain against the publicly available list of RMAP smelters&#47;refiners.  For reporting year ending December 31, 2024, Tennant&#8217;s percentage of RMAP conformant or active smelters&#47;refiners increased over the reporting year ending December 31, 2023.  Because the list of smelters&#47;refiners (as sources) likely includes smelters&#47;refiners that did not actually process the 3TG contained in Tennant&#8217;s products, the Company is not providing a smelter&#47;refiner list as an appendix to this Conflict Minerals Report this year.&#93;</font></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Steps to Be Taken to Mitigate Risk</font></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">For the reporting year 2025, Tennant has taken, or intends to take, the following steps to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate any risk that the necessary 3TG in the Company&#8217;s products could originate from Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country&#58;</font></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.15pt">Continue to evaluate upstream sources through a broader set of tools to evaluate risk, including leveraging our partner, Assent, and our RMI membership.</font></div><div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.15pt">Engage with suppliers more closely and provide more information and training resources regarding responsible sourcing of 3TGs.</font></div><div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.15pt">Provide expectations to our suppliers requiring them to have due diligence procedures in place, and to certify as to such procedures for their supply chains to improve the content of the responses from such suppliers and grant Tennant the right to audit their procedures and cancel contracts if such suppliers are not complying with the Company&#8217;s Supplier Core Expectations.</font></div><div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.15pt">Continue to include a conflict minerals flow-down clause in new or renewed supplier contracts, as well as included in the terms and conditions of each purchase order issued. </font></div><div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#8226;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.15pt">Following the OECD Guidance process, increase the emphasis on clean and validated smelter&#47;refiner information from the supply chain through feedback and detailed smelter&#47;refiner analysis.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="height:85.68pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="margin-bottom:10pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%"> </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:10pt"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:43.108%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:98.900%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr style="height:15pt"><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#ffffff;padding:0 1pt"><div><font><br></font></div></td></tr></table></div></div></div></body></html>
