Page 1 3TG - Conflict Minerals - 2026 1 Conflict Minerals Statement – 3TG January 2026 The following document contains information related to the conflict minerals initiative known as 3TG. From the SEC website (background): In 2010, (US) Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, which directs the Commission to issue rules requiring certain companies to disclose their use of conflict minerals if those minerals are “necessary to the functionality or production of a product” manufactured by those companies. Under the Act, those minerals include: ➢ Tantalum – Ta ➢ Tin – Sn ➢ Gold – Au ➢ Tungsten - W Congress enacted Section 1502 of the Act because of concerns that the exploitation and trade of conflict minerals by armed groups is helping to finance conflict in the DRC region and is contributing to an emergency humanitarian crisis. Section 1502 of the Act amends the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to add Section 13(p). -end The only products Allied sells containing these minerals, listed on their respective SDS, are found listed in the table below.
