Tariff Impact and Approach

Dear Valued Customer,

MilliporeSigma's top priority is to ensure that patients, researchers, and
customers worldwide continue to benefit from our innovations without
disruption.

Starting in early April, we have witnessed new tariff schemes across the
world. As a global company operating in many regions, we are making every
effort to minimize the effect of these changes for our customers. However,
like many businesses, the new tariffs are impacting our operations.

To maintain our operational integrity and continue delivering the service
and quality our customers rely on, we have made the decision to implement a
tariff surcharge. This temporary surcharge is in lieu of a tariff cost
passthrough and protects our customers from experiencing the full impact of
the broad tariff rates, some of which are very high. By leveraging a
surcharge, we retain flexibility to adjust or remove the surcharge if the
situation changes in the coming weeks or months.

Effective May 5, the surcharge will be applied to product orders shipped to
locations in the United States which reflects the tariffs' broader impacts
on our overall global supply chain processes, including production and
procurement costs in addition to any direct costs on products. This charge
will appear as a separate line item on quotes and invoices.

We understand that surcharges can be challenging, and we appreciate your
understanding and continued support. In the meantime, we are working across
our teams to reduce further impacts by strengthening our global presence,
balancing investments across regions, and ensuring the resilience of our
supply chain.

Sincerely,

*Jean Charles Wirth*
Head of Science and Lab Solutions
