Stock Price: Risk: STERIS inventor base is largely institutional. Divestment of shares for nonfinancial reasons would increase stock volatility. Constraints: • Depth of supply chain • Multiple ERP systems • Little influence with suppliers • Regulated devices, changing suppliers has regulatory implications.

Consistent messaging is key!
• We are not a manufacturer of electronics parts and thus not in a position to provide accurate information relating to conflict Minerals….
• We distribute more than 555,000 products, it is our policy to not distribute products from the DRC and under the terms and conditions or our contracts our suppliers warrant they are in compliance with this policy…
• We assume that our sub-suppliers purchase raw materials from legal sources according to EU or national law. It is not our part to investigate this fact….
• Dodd Frank is a US law, we have no plans nor obligations to comply with this non EU law. We are in full compliance with all EU laws…
