Contract analysis

From: Priya Anand <p.anand@calderwoodharkness.com> To: Marcus Whitfield <m.whitfield@dunmore-energy.com> Cc: Derek Huang <d.huang@dunmore-energy.com> Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2023 10:42:00 -0000 Subject: RE: OFAC VSD — Acknowledgment Received [Case No. VS-2023-04871]

I am writing to let you know that we received OFAC's acknowledgment letter yesterday, dated October 18, 2023. Our voluntary self-disclosure submission, which was filed on October 6, has been formally received and assigned Case No. VS-2023-04871.

This is a standard form letter confirming receipt of the VSD and advising that OFAC will review the submission. The letter contains the customary caveat that filing a voluntary self-disclosure does not preclude OFAC from pursuing enforcement action, including the imposition of civil monetary penalties. I want to be clear: this is boilerplate language that appears in every acknowledgment letter OFAC issues, regardless

From here, we would expect one of two outcomes:

1. OFAC may come back to us with a request for supplemental information before making a determination. This is quite common, particularly in matters involving complex corporate structures like DTI's. 2. Alternatively, OFAC may proceed directly to a determination based on the information already submitted.

Based on current OFAC processing timelines, we would typically expect to hear back within 60 to 120 days, though I should note that timelines can vary and OFAC does not commit to a fixed schedule.

**Maintaining Remedial Measures — Action Items**

In the interim, it is critical that DTI's remedial measures remain fully on track. As you know, these measures were cited as mitigating factors in our VSD filing, and OFAC will view their continued implementation favorably. I would ask that you confirm the following are proceeding as planned:

- **Quarterly re-screening:** The reduction of re-screening intervals from annual to quarterly should be fully operational and documented. - **Enhanced beneficial ownership screening:** The upgrade to the HCS ScreenPro enhanced module, including the incorporation of third-party corporate intelligence data, should be completed on the timeline we discussed. - **Dedicated Sanctions Compliance Officer:** The hiring proce

The substantive value of these measures is significant, but their importance as a signal to OFAC of Dunmore's and DTI's good faith and commitment to compliance cannot be overstated.

If OFAC contacts you, anyone else at the Company, or anyone at DTI directly at any point during this process, please refer them to me immediately. Do not provide any information or make any substantive statements to OFAC without consulting Calderwood & Harkness first. All communications with OFAC must be channeled through counsel.

I am attaching a scanned copy of the acknowledgment letter for your records. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if you would like to schedule a call to discuss.
