Section 2. Overview

As a retailer of consumer products, the Company is several levels removed from the mining of conflict minerals, does not make direct purchases of raw or unrefined minerals and makes no purchases in a Covered Country (as defined below).

The Company and its merchandising strategies are retailers of high-quality consumer products for the kitchen and home, including kitchen essentials, dinnerware, cookware, electrics, cutlery, furniture, bedding, bathroom accessories, lighting, decorative accessories, rugs, curtains, gifts, hardware, small leather goods, jewelry, and home décor. The Company’s merchandising strategies contract to manufacture some, although not all, of the products they sell. In 2020, the Company purchased merchandise from over 300 suppliers.

Tin, tungsten, tantalum or gold (“3TGs”) are necessary to the functionality of certain lighting and decorative accessories products that the Company contracts to be manufactured (“In-Scope Products”).

Section 3. Conflict Minerals Policy

The Company is committed to corporate responsibility and sustainable practices as is evidenced by our various policies. The Company has established a policy indicating our ongoing efforts in responsible sourcing of Conflict Minerals by our suppliers. The policy is reviewed each year and sent to suppliers for a yearly acknowledgment.

Section 4. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Information

As required by the Conflict Minerals Rule, the Company conducted a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” (“RCOI”). We designed our RCOI in good faith in an attempt to determine the origin of 3TGs that are necessary to the functionality or production of products that we contract to manufacture. Members of the Company’s Legal Department and Sustainable Development Department identified suppliers of the In-Scope Products that the Company contracted to have manufactured. These suppliers were generally suppliers of lighting products and decorative accessories. All identified suppliers of the In-Scope products, approximately 113 suppliers, were contacted as part of our outreach efforts.

Based on our 2020 RCOI, these suppliers identified over 275 smelters and refiners that may be in our supply chain, which the Company believes represent the majority of the relevant smelters and refiners. Based on our RCOI, for the smelters that were identified, the Company concluded that all but two of these smelters and refiners sourced entirely from outside Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country (“Covered Country”). One supplier identified two smelters located in two Covered Countries (Uganda, Rwanda), but the supplier was not able to determine whether the 3TGs that came from this smelter were in products supplied to us.

Section 5. Due Diligence Procedures Performed

The due diligence exercise performed by the Company conformed to an internationally recognized due diligence framework developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development as part of its “Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas” (collectively, the “OECD Guidance”).

In accordance with the OECD Guidance, the Company’s due diligence exercise included: 1) review of the previously-adopted Conflict Minerals Policy, which was then sent to relevant suppliers of the Company’s products; 2) review and assessment of risk in our Company’s supply chain; and 3) review of the strategy to identify and respond to risks in the supply chain. There were no significant changes to the due diligence process since December 31, 2019, the end of the period covered in the Company’s most recent prior Conflict Minerals Report.

Use of RBA Conflict Minerals Reporting Template

In performing our due diligence for 2020, the Company continued to use the Responsible Business Alliance, formerly the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition, and Global e-Sustainability Initiative’s (“RBA-GsSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). The Company contacted each supplier and requested that it complete the RBA-GsSI CMRT.

Use of a Third-Party Platform for Responses, Support and Review

A third-party vendor was used to streamline this process by allowing suppliers to enter responses via the online RBA-GsSI CMRT. This vendor provided support for suppliers in completing the

2

survey and also aggregated the data provided by suppliers so that the Company could review and analyze the data. The vendor also sent reminder emails to each non-responsive supplier requesting completion of the report.

Upon completion of the reports, the vendor then reviewed the responses for plausibility, consistency and gaps as identified in its procedures. It followed up by email or phone with suppliers that submitted a response that triggers specified quality control flags, for example, incomplete responses, failure to acknowledge the conflict minerals policy or listing a smelter in a Covered Country.

Responses from Suppliers

The Company requested that each supplier identify whether 3TGs are used in items produced for the Company, whether the minerals were recycled or scrap, and if not recycled or scrap, all the smelters in the supplier’s supply chain, including the name and country of the smelter, and whether those smelters had been validated as conflict-free in accordance with the CFSI program. The Company performed a good-faith review of the responses received from suppliers and performed an assessment of the data and requested additional information from suppliers as appropriate. All suppliers were asked to review the Conflict Minerals Policy and to sign a form acknowledging the policy.

The Company continued due diligence measures undertaken in 2019 for this 2020 reporting period, including:

•Internal Management Team. The Company continued to have a cross-functional Conflict Minerals compliance team to oversee the diligence process, which consisted of key personnel in the following departments: Global Operations, Sustainable Development, Legal and Accounting.

•External Resources. The Company also used specialist outside counsel and a third-party software platform to assist with RCOI and due diligence.

•Data Collection and Retention.The Company used a software platform for its collection of information from suppliers regarding their use of 3TGs. The Company continued and continues to maintain these records on the software platform.

•Reports to Senior Management.Members of the cross-functional Conflict Minerals compliance team periodically reported to the Company’s General Counsel and Chief Financial Officer on various aspects of the Company’s conflict minerals compliance program, including mitigation efforts, progress and effectiveness of the Conflict Minerals Policy.

•Risk Management Plan. The Company continued to undertake risk mitigation efforts as deemed to be appropriate based on the findings of our supply chain risk assessment. We determined our risk mitigation efforts on a case-by-case basis, considering the particular facts and circumstances and risks identified.
