 Personnel Security Clearance at least to the level of the Contractor's Facility Security Clearance or would be eligible to be cleared by the United States Government to receive classified information and maintain oversight of TTM’s classified operations (and may not be affiliated with any person or foreign entity of concern to the DCSA), and (iii) our Board be chaired by a member with a Personnel Security Clearance at least to the level of the Contractor's Facility Security Clearance. In addition, per the terms of the SBR, no foreign citizen is allowed to sit on TTM's Board in the future.

TTM is a significant supplier of electronic assemblies, radar and microelectronic systems and printed circuit boardsthat are eventually integrated into products purchased by the United States Department of Defense. As such, over 400 TTM employees and Board members are cleared by the United States Government to receive confidential or secret classified information. Because TTM has been identified by the government of the United States as a key supplier in the electronics eco-system, TTM has engaged DCSA for approval of facility security clearances at a number of its facilities. This clearance allows the DCSA to conduct audits and provide broad oversight to parts of TTM’s operation. As a condition of such clearance, and in connection with our engagement with the DCSA, in February of 2023, our Board of Directors adopted the SBR, replacing the Special Security Agreement (“SSA”) that the Company had entered into with the DCSA in 2010. The replacement of the SSA with the SBR was the result of the significantly reduced foreign ownership of TTM. As agreed between the Company and the DCSA,the Company plans to maintain much of the robust infrastructure developed during the adoption of and compliance with the SSA. The SBR codifies, and our bylaws require (during the period that the SBR is in effect), the standing Government Security Committee of TTM’s Board of Directors, consisting of at least 3 Board members that hold a National Security Clearance. In addition, the SBR dictates that TTM will maintain its policies and procedures that have been established pursuant to the provisions of the SSA to mitigate
