suppliers inquiring about the country/ies of origin of any Potential CMR Materials. A significant majority of the suppliers (more than 75 percent) responded to the survey or submitted Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates (CMRTs). Most of these
suppliers indicated that they do not provide materials, components or parts to us that contain a conflict mineral, or if they do, the conflict mineral did not originate in a Covered Country. However, a few suppliers responded with their CMRTs, which
are company-level declarations and not product-level declarations, and thus they cannot confirm whether the specific materials, component or parts that they sold to us in 2021 originated from a Covered Country. As such, it is not feasible or useful
at this time to carry out or obtain independent third-party audits. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As indicated above, among its various business activities, Greenbrier is a manufacturer of railroad freight car equipment and a manufacturer of marine barges.
The vast majority of the materials, components and parts that it uses in its manufacturing processes for its railcar and marine barge products involve raw steel and other metals and materials that do not contain conflict minerals. However, from time
to time, we manufacture freight railcars and marine barges that may contain a conflict mineral, such as because the product includes certain electronics or electronic circuit boards that may contain a conflict mineral. Accordingly, where we believe
that a relevant supplier may have supplied such materials, components or parts that may contain a conflict mineral (Potential CMR Materials), it endeavors to conduct appropriate conflict minerals due diligence, including a questionnaire or survey to
relevant suppliers inquiring about the country/ies of origin of any such conflict minerals. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with our due diligence with respect to
Potential CMR Materials, we did not identify the facilities that were used to process any necessary conflict minerals contained in the Potential CMR Materials or the country/ies of origin of any necessary conflict minerals contained in the Potential
CMR Materials. We do not directly purchase materials from any Covered Country, and we have an extensive supply chain, so we are far removed from the actual mining of any conflict minerals. Given the scale and extent of our supply chain, we rely on
relevant direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of any conflict minerals that may be contained in materials, components or parts that we may use to manufacture our products. Thus, we endeavored to determine the mine or location of
origin of the conflict minerals contained in the Potential CMR Materials by requesting that our suppliers provide us with completed questionnaires concerning the source of any conflict minerals in the Potential CMR Materials that were sourced from
the suppliers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As stated, most of the suppliers who responded to our conflict minerals questionnaire indicated that they do not provide materials,
components or parts to us that contain a conflict mineral, or if they do, the conflict mineral did not originate in a Covered Country. However, a few suppliers have indicated that they are not able to confirm whether the particular materials,
components or parts that they sold to us originated in a Covered Country because their Conflict Minerals Reporting Templates (CMRTs) are company-level declarations, and not product-level declarations. Accordingly, we were unable to validate that the
smelters and refiners identified by these suppliers actually provided a conflict mineral used in the manufacturing of our products, or that they were located in a Covered Country. As such, we are unable to identify the facilities used to process any
conflict minerals in our products, the countries of origin of any necessary conflict minerals in these products, or the mine or location of origin. We will continue to request country of origin information from these suppliers, and if applicable,
conduct due diligence with regard to any conflict mineral in the Potential CMR Materials that originated in a Covered Country. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Risk Mitigation Efforts
