Conflict Minerals Report

For the Year Ended December 31, 2022

This Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2022 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Rule 13p-1 was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants who manufacture or contract to manufacture products that contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. “Conflict minerals” are defined as tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold. These requirements apply to registrants whatever the geographic origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (together with the DRC, the “Covered Countries”). This Conflict Minerals Report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit.

1. Company Overview and Product Description

Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Allison”, “we,” “us” or “our”) design and manufacture vehicle propulsion solutions, including commercial-duty on-highway, off-highway and defense fully automatic transmissions and electric hybrid and fully electric systems. We generate our net sales primarily from the sale of vehicle propulsion solutions, service and component parts, support equipment, defense kits, engineering services, royalties and extended transmission coverage to a wide array of original equipment manufacturers, distributors and the U.S. government.

We conducted an analysis of our products and found that conflict minerals are necessary to the production or functionality of our commercial, defense, electric hybrid and fully electric propulsion solutions.

A complete description of our products can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 16, 2023.

2. Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

We conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries. As a company engaged in the design and manufacture of commercial and defense fully automatic transmissions and electric hybrid and fully electric propulsion systems, we are several levels removed from the actual mining of conflict minerals. We do not make purchases of raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals and we conduct no purchasing activities in the Covered Countries. In order to determine whether conflict minerals used in the manufacture of our products originated in the Covered Countries, we relied on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of the conflict minerals contained in components and materials supplied to us, including sources of conflict minerals that are supplied to them from their suppliers.

Scope of RCOI. Our RCOI included conducting an inquiry of our global supply chain of direct ferrous, metallic, and electrical component suppliers, using the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) to identify the smelters and refiners responsible for processing the conflict minerals.

To assist in the collection of data and in engaging our suppliers, we enlisted a third party data collection and analysis vendor to conduct outreach, training, and verification of supplier responses. As part of our global supply-chain survey, we received representations from our suppliers regarding the source of conflict minerals and compared the smelters and refiners identified in the CMRT responses against the list of smelter and refinery facilities which have been identified as conflict free by programs such as RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process for conflict minerals. In an effort to obtain the highest practical response rate, our process included multiple rounds of communication and follow-up through mail, email and telephone calls. We created and maintained a database of this information.

RCOI Results. We identified approximately 89 of our direct ferrous, metallic, and electrical component suppliers as part of our RCOI. We received responses from approximately 39% of the suppliers solicited and reviewed the responses against criteria developed to determine which responses required additional engagement, including incomplete responses and inconsistencies within the data reported. We worked with these suppliers to obtain a revised response or additional clarity regarding their submission.

3. Due Diligence

We conducted 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 not been able to determine whether the conflict minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources.

Design of Due Diligence. Allison’s due diligence procedures were designed to conform with the Organisation of Economic Co-Operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, which is an internationally recognized due diligence framework. Our due diligence process included:

Establishing Company Management Systems. We adopted a conflict minerals policy that governs the supply-chain of conflict minerals from the Covered Countries. In addition, we organized an internal management team to support our supply chain due diligence efforts. This cross-functional team, led by our Chief Compliance Officer and a team of subject matter experts from relevant functional areas, oversees our conflict minerals due diligence process. Senior management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors received information regarding the Conflict Minerals legislation and our compliance efforts.

Identifying and Assessing Risk in the Supply Chain. Through our RCOI process, we solicited all ferrous, metallic, and electrical component direct suppliers with a CMRT to obtain information about the source of any conflict minerals. Our efforts largely focused on confirming the accuracy and quality of the representations our direct suppliers made regarding the source and chain of custody of their conflict minerals and comparing the smelters and refiners identified in the CMRT responses against the list of smelter and refinery facilities which have been identified as “conflict free”.

Designing and Implementing a Strategy to Respond to Risks. Our conflict minerals team is responsible for identifying and responding to risks in our supply chain. In addition, we monitor and track information received from suppliers, including a list of smelters and refiners identified through CMRT responses.

Supporting Independent Third-Party Audits of Supply Chain. We do not have a direct relationship with any conflict minerals smelters and refiners; therefore, we rely on the RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process to manage and report results of the independent third-party audits and the related certifications of the smelters and refiners.

Reporting on Supply Chain Due Diligence. This conflict minerals report is being filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our specialized disclosure report on Form SD and is available on our website at www.allisontransmission.com.

4. Due Diligence Results.

Because we have not received sufficient and complete responses from all suppliers and many of the supplier responses provided data at a company level rather than at a product level, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin or chain of custody of conflict minerals in our products. Based on the CMRT responses from our direct suppliers, we believe that, to the best of our knowledge, the smelters and refiners listed in Annex A to this conflict minerals report may have been used to process the conflict minerals contained in our products.

5. Future Due Diligence Measures.

As we further develop our due diligence program in calendar year 2023, we intend to continue implementing the following steps to improve the information gathered from our due diligence efforts and to further mitigate the risk that our necessary conflict minerals do not benefit armed groups:
