Illinois Tool Works removed its COVID-19 pandemic risk disclosure from the 2024 10-K, reflecting the company's determination that pandemic-related uncertainties no longer warrant prominence in its risk factor disclosures. The company substantively modified its compliance and conduct risk to expand coverage beyond anti-bribery and competition laws to explicitly include export/import, trade sanctions, data privacy, environmental, and human rights compliance risks. These changes indicate ITW's shift from pandemic-focused risk management toward emphasis on regulatory compliance across an expanded array of legal and operational domains.

🟡 Modified The Company may incur fines or penalties, damage to its reputation or other adverse consequences if its employees, agents or business partners violate anti-bribery, competition, export and import, trade sanctions, data privacy, environmental, human rights or other laws. 🔒
