Conflict Minerals Report

for the year ended December 31, 2025

Introduction
We are filing this Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2025 pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13p-1).

Our policy
Our policy is to responsibly source minerals and work with suppliers to ensure that Conflict Minerals used in our products do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries.

Conflict Minerals are defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and are currently identified as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten. We consider gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten necessary to the functionality or production of certain of our products. Adjoining countries are the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Burundi, Tanzania, and Angola.

We are working with our suppliers to ensure our suppliers are aware of our policy and have urged our suppliers to support this policy. To ensure our products do not finance conflict, we conduct supply chain due diligence in alignment with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. We require all relevant suppliers to submit origin information using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT).

Due Diligence Performed
We have performed a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry ("RCOI"). The inquiry was designed to determine whether our Conflict Minerals either did not originate in the DRC or an adjoining country or came from recycled or scrap sources. We apply reasonable skepticism and judgment in assessing statements from suppliers and look for discrepancies such as omissions of Conflict Minerals and locations of the supplier.

We have taken a number of steps to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals. Our due diligence is designed to be consistent with the Global e-Sustainability Initiative and the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and the ("GeSI-EICC") approach. These steps include:
We adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy / Position governing the supply chain of Conflict Minerals.
Based on our RCOI, we have notified relevant suppliers to ensure they are aware of our Conflict Minerals Policy and have urged our suppliers to support this policy.
Our policy is available to our customers and suppliers from our Website, has been provided to appropriate NVE employees, and sent to customers and suppliers on request.
We designated an employee responsible for Conflict Minerals Policy compliance with the authority to conduct due diligence as necessary.
We have performed due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals that are included in our products and for which, based on our RCOI, we have reason to believe may have originated in the DRC or an adjoining country and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources.
We have an established process to obtain information from our suppliers concerning the origins of the metals used in the manufacture of our products.
We require suppliers of items that may contain Conflict Minerals to complete a CMRT.
All of our suppliers of items containing Conflict Minerals have provided some or all of the CMRT reports, DRC "conflict-free" designations from a recognized industry group, independent audits of a processing facility's supply chain, or other certifications or audits.

Products

We identified the following products we manufactured or contract to manufacture that may contain necessary Conflict Minerals during the reporting period: sensors, couplers, peripheral integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, evaluation boards, and evaluation kits.

Due Diligence Results
All of our suppliers have provided the reports we require of them, however not all of our suppliers have complete information from their suppliers. Therefore, despite the due diligence described above, we have not yet been able to determine all of the facilities used to process the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products or the countries of origin of all of the necessary Conflict Minerals in our products. Based on our RCOI and due diligence, however, we believe the great majority of the Conflict Minerals in our products either (i) did not originate in the DRC or an adjoining country, (ii) came from recycled or scrap sources, or (iii) came from smelters or refiners determined to be compliant with the GeSI-EICC Conflict-Free Smelter Program assessment protocols.

Based on our RCOI and due diligence, some of our suppliers have reported Conflict Minerals originating in the DRC or an adjoining country, although the majority of those were from smelters or refiners determined to be compliant with the GeSI-EICC Conflict-Free Smelter Program assessment protocols. However, there are a small number of Conflict Mineral sources for which our suppliers have not provided definitive documentation of origin, representing a small amount of material. The suppliers of those items have indicated they will continue their due diligence to definitively determine all of the facilities used to process Conflict Minerals.

Future Due Diligence
We plan to continue to take practical action to seek to ensure that materials from the conflict region do not enter our supply chain or products.
