extracted), (c) gold and (d) wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted), or their derivatives, which are currently limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten; or (ii) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S.

conflict minerals included in its products during the Reporting Period, which the Company refers to as the

any of the Subject Minerals were from recycled or scrap sources. Where applicable, the Company has conducted additional due diligence regarding the sources of the Subject Minerals. The results of the Companys RCOI regarding the Subject
Minerals, as well as its additional due diligence regarding the sources of such Subject Minerals, are contained in the Companys Conflict Minerals Report, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD, and is publicly available at
