<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0.25in; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt">The Company initially reviewed its product line
to determine which products, if any, require a Conflict Mineral that is necessary to the functionality or production of the product. This
inquiry resulted in a determination that the only products of the Company that may potentially require a Conflict Mineral are products
that have certain fastener components, which the Company does not manufacture. These fastener components require tin, one of the designated
Conflict Minerals. Based on the Company&rsquo;s review of its products, these fasteners are only found in certain of our communication
and energy products described above. Therefore, for purposes of this report, only the sources of the fastener components of those products
were considered.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0.25in; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0.25in; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt">The Company does not have any direct relationships
with any tin smelter or refinery in its supply chain. As a downstream purchaser of fastener components that contain tin, our due diligence
measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the presence, source and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals.
The Company&rsquo;s due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from its direct suppliers and those suppliers seeking
similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the applicable Conflict Minerals.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0.25in; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0.25in; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt">The Company contacts every direct supplier and
requests that they certify to the existence of Conflict Minerals in their product, as well as the origin of such Conflict Minerals, with
a focused effort on the suppliers of fasteners. In addition, the Company has all of its international subsidiaries contact their respective
direct suppliers with the same inquiry. The Company also communicates with direct suppliers on responses to supply chain surveys that
it identifies as containing incomplete or potentially inaccurate information to seek additional clarification. The Company has regularly
engaged and continues to engage with any direct supplier for which it has not received a final response. The Company&rsquo;s efforts to
investigate its suppliers also includes requiring suppliers whose product contains any one of the Conflict Minerals to submit documented
evidence that all the materials used in the manufacture of the parts supplied to the Company were not smelted in a Covered Country. In
some cases, the Company&rsquo;s suppliers have indicated the receipt of confirming letters from primary steel mill sources.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0.25in; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0.25in; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt">The Company is committed to sourcing components
and materials from companies that share in the Company&rsquo;s values of respecting human rights. In addition, the Company has integrated
requirements for DRC Conflict Free within its standard terms and conditions of purchase. The Company highly encourages all direct suppliers
to provide a survey using the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and the Global eSustainability Initiative Conflict Minerals Reporting
Template with their annual supplier package. Additionally, the Company has created a new role of Compliance Specialist. One of that position&rsquo;s
goals is to compile a database of all of the Company&rsquo;s components and determine compliance with Conflict Minerals reporting requirements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0.25in; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt">The Company&rsquo;s suppliers remain mostly consistent
from year to year. While survey efforts vary from year to year, it has received supply chain survey responses from approximately 91% of
its current fastener suppliers, both domestically and internationally. The current COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to a lower response
rate from its current fastener suppliers. The vast majority of the Company&rsquo;s fastener suppliers have stated that their fasteners
do not contain tin, and no supplier of fasteners that contain tin has responded that the Conflict Mineral originated from the Covered
Countries. However, several suppliers of fasteners that contain tin have noted that they are still working to determine definitive sources.
Based on these responses, the Company cannot be certain that its products do not contain Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries
or identify the facilities used to process the necessary Conflict Minerals in those products until all the final responses are received.</P>
