A Message from Arcamed's Leadership:

In these evolving times, I wanted to share how Arcamed is thoughtfully navigating the current global landscape to ensure your continued peace of mind and the seamless service you’ve come to expect.

The ongoing discussions surrounding international trade have naturally brought the topic of potential material tariffs, such as those on stainless steel and titanium, into focus. While we are attentively observing these developments, I want to gently reassure you with two clear perspectives:

• We anticipate any influence on our pricing or the availability of materials to be minimal.

• Should any impact arise, we foresee it as temporary and swiftly resolved.

Our commitment to you is unwavering, and our team is diligently working behind the scenes. We are in constant connection with our trusted suppliers and expert trade advisors, proactively taking thoughtful steps:

• Careful Preparation: We have thoroughly evaluated our current position and do not anticipate any notable disruption to the flow of essential materials. We have strategically built reserves and maintain a diverse network of reliable sources.

• Close Collaboration: Our procurement and leadership teams are in daily dialogue with our key partners, allowing us to anticipate and nimbly respond to any shifts in the environment.

• Forward Thinking: We are thoughtfully preparing for various possibilities, developing proactive plans to ensure our operations continue smoothly and without interruption, preventing any unforeseen challenges for you.

While the topic of tariffs may continue in the news, please know that our focus remains steadfast on upholding our promises to you. Should any situation arise that could meaningfully affect costs or delivery timelines, we will communicate with complete openness and ample notice.

Thank you for the enduring trust you place in Arcamed. We are dedicated to being the dependable partner you can always rely on—through the challenges of today and the opportunities of tomorrow.

With sincere appreciation,

Jonathan Desalvo

CEO
