1 Annual Survey of the North American Rigid PCB Industry INSTRUCTIONS 1. If you need a copy of the survey questions, the blank questionnaire in PDF is available here. 2. When reporting the dollar value of PCB shipments, report sales value only and do not include items such as freight, tooling, services, recycling income, etc. 3. For public companies, preliminary (unaudited) financial information is acceptable. 4. Data provided for 2014 and 2015 should include same-facility information only. If you have purchased or sold a facility and are unsure of how to incorporate that information, please revise last year's data to reflect the same scope of business as in your current data. 5. Please enter the actual dollar value (not in thousands or millions) and do not enter any non-numeric character such as "$" or "k". Enter the full amount (e.g. do not enter $500K or $0.5M, but please enter it as 500,000). You may use commas in numbers greater than 999, but they are not necessary. 6. If you need to leave an incomplete survey and return to complete it later, you may do so. Be sure to complete the current page and click the forward icon (>>>) to send that data. When you wish to resume the survey, use the

2 same computer and browser, then click your original survey link to return to your survey. 7. Once you have submitted your completed survey, you will not be able to reenter the survey form to make changes. If you need to make changes to a submitted survey, please contact Piyamart Holmgren at piyamartholmgren@ipc.org or PARTICIPANT INFORMATION Please enter your IPC Company Code and Address.
