Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
During 2016, J.Crew Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “J.Crew”) contracted to manufacture products for which gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, tantalum, tin and tungsten (“3TG”) are or may be necessary to their functionality or production. The Company conducted a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry to determine whether the 3TG in the Company’s products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country as defined in Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Covered Countries”). Based on this Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry, we know or have reason to believe that some of the 3TG in J.Crew’s products originated in the Covered Countries and are not or may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, we exercised due diligence to determine the source and chain of custody of the 3TG in our products, as described in the Company’s Conflict Minerals Report. Our Conflict Minerals Report is attached as an exhibit to this Form SD and is also publicly available on our website at www.jcrew.com.
