The specified minerals, collectively referred to in this Report as &#8220;Conflict Minerals&#8221; are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are tantalum, tin and tungsten. The &#8220;Covered Countries&#8221; for purposes of the Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&#8220;DRC&#8221;), the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. As described in this Report, EID does not directly purchase these minerals from smelters or mines and works closely with suppliers to ensure responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals necessary to the production or functionality of its products.

EID does not directly purchase these minerals from smelters or mines and works closely with suppliers to ensure responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals necessary to the production or functionality of its products. However, the Company&#8217;s supply chains with respect to its 2018 Covered Products are complex and there are many third parties in the supply chains between the ultimate manufacture of the Covered Products and the original sources of the Conflict Minerals.</font></div><div style="line-height:144%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Following the Company&#8217;s RCOI, the Company identified that it had sourced Conflict Minerals from two suppliers for manufacture of 2018 Covered Products (&#8220;Identified 2018 Covered Products&#8221;) for which it needed to conduct additional due diligence. The Identified 2018 Covered Products are part of the Company&#8217;s safety and construction product line. </font></div><div style="line-height:144%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">&#32;EID&#8217;s Due Diligence Process</font></div><div style="line-height:144%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Company conducted supply chain due diligence in accordance with the framework of the&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas; Second Edition,&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the &#8220;OECD Guidance&#8221;), on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products. The OECD Guidance provides a five-step framework for risk based due diligence in the mineral supply chain. The five steps are (1)&#160;establish strong company management systems, (2)&#160;identify and assess risks in the supply chain, (3)&#160;design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks, (4)&#160;carry out an independent third party audit of the smelters&#8217;/refiners&#8217; due diligence and (5)&#160;report on supply chain due diligence.</font></div><div style="line-height:144%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Step One: Establish Strong Company Management Systems</font></div><div style="line-height:144%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">As a global purchaser and supplier of goods, EID is committed to preventing the use of Conflict Minerals that fund armed conflict in the DRC and adjoining countries.

However, the Company actively engages in trade associations and other external groups which include major manufacturers in the chemicals and electronics industries as well as other manufacturing sectors. The Company leverages industry-wide initiatives to understand and evaluate upstream actors in the supply chain, including the RMI and the related Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (&#8220;CMRT&#8221;). The Company&#8217;s due diligence included reliance on work conducted by the RMI, specifically the Conflict-Free Smelter Program, now known as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Program, (&#8220;RMAP&#8221;), which offers an independent, third-party audit that determines which smelters and refiners can be validated as &#8220;conflict-free,&#8221; in line with current global standards.</font></div><div style="line-height:144%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">EID worked directly with the suppliers and received a completed CMRT from each supplier verifying that the Conflict Minerals used in the Identified 2018 Covered Products were sourced from multiple smelters and refineries each of which had been audited and validated by the RMAP.</font></div><div style="line-height:144%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;width:96.484375%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="4"></td></tr><tr><td style="width:25%;"></td><td style="width:35%;"></td><td style="width:12%;"></td><td style="width:28%;"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:1px solid #000000;border-top:1px solid #000000;"><div style="padding-bottom:2px;text-align:left;padding-left:4px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Product Line</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:1px solid #000000;border-top:1px solid #000000;"><div style="padding-bottom:2px;padding-top:2px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="padding-bottom:2px;padding-top:2px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">2018 Identified Covered Product</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:1px solid #000000;border-top:1px solid #000000;"><div style="padding-bottom:2px;text-align:left;padding-left:4px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Conflict Mineral</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:1px solid #000000;border-top:1px solid #000000;"><div style="padding-bottom:2px;text-align:left;padding-left:4px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Covered Country</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:1px solid #000000;border-top:1px solid #000000;"><div style="padding-bottom:2px;padding-top:2px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Safety and Construction</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-right:1px solid #000000;border-top:1px solid #000000;"><div><div style="float:left;
