<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Kewaunee Scientific Corporation shares the concerns of Congress and the international business community that profits from the mining of certain minerals
(&#147;3TGs,&#148; as defined below) in the Democratic Republic of Congo or its adjoining countries may be aiding human rights abuses.&nbsp;The term &#147;3TGs&#148; refers to columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite or their
derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With respect to the calendar year ended December&nbsp;31, 2022, we identified several of
our products for which 3TGs (as defined above) may be present in and necessary to their functionality or production.&nbsp;Accordingly, we have developed a conflict minerals procedure, as described below, reasonably designed to identify whether the
3TGs in the Covered Products, if any, originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia or Angola) (the
&#147;Covered Countries&#148;), or whether any of the 3TGs in the Covered Countries are from recycled or scrap sources.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On an annual basis, our product
development team reviews a list of our significant vendors and identifies any vendors for which the materials we purchase may contain 3TGs. Through this process, we determined that several of our products may contain small traces of one or more
3TGs. As a result, we have established a process whereby we conduct a country of origin inquiry reasonably designed to determine whether 3TGs contained in or used to produce these products, if any, originated in a Covered Country or were from
recycled or scrap sources. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Description of the Company&#146;s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To determine the origin of any 3TGs, a survey was sent to all of our identified suppliers whose products may contain them.&nbsp;The survey inquired about the
origin of their 3TGs and whether they had a written policy for conflict-free sourcing of 3TGs, among other items.&nbsp;Responses received from the survey indicated that any 3TGs in materials provided by our suppliers did not originate from the
Covered Countries.&nbsp;In addition to the responses received from our suppliers, management has no reason to believe that any 3TGs in or used in the production of our Covered Products may have originated in the Covered Countries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If at any time we discover the use of any 3TGs originating from the Covered Countries, we will take appropriate measures to discontinue use of such materials
or processes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This information is also available on our website at www.kewaunee.com, as well as the SEC&#146;s EDGAR database at www.sec.gov. </P>
