RTI Surgical, Inc. Statement on Slavery and Human Trafficking

California Transparency in Supply Chains Act Disclosure
RTI Surgical, Inc. (including its subsidiaries) (“RTI”) is strongly opposed to human trafficking and slavery and supports efforts to eradicate such practices. RTI would never knowingly conduct business with contractors or suppliers engaged in such practices.

Given the nature of the types of products, implants and services we provide, it is our assessment that our business activities present little risk of promoting human trafficking and slavery. With respect to these issues, the California Transparency in the Supply Chains Act of 2010 (the “Act”) requires certain manufacturers and retailers, including RTI, to disclose their efforts to eradicate human trafficking and slavery from their supply chains. The Act requires disclosure in five (5) areas: audits, verification, certification, training, and internal accountability. At this time, RTI does not audit or independently verify its product supply chain or its direct suppliers for risks relating to human trafficking or slavery. According to the RTI Code of Conduct and our contractual arrangements with suppliers, our suppliers are required to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing their business practices. Failure to comply with these contractual requirements constitutes breach of contract, but there is no separate certification process specifically for slavery and human trafficking. RTI has incorporated information on addressing the potential for human trafficking or slavery in its supply chain into our regular training curriculum for employees and management with direct responsibility for supply chain management. The RTI Compliance Program provides internal accountability procedures for these issues.

Any payment or transfer of value from a manufacturer operating in the United States to a covered recipient must be reported. Some examples are:
