Exhibit 1.01
Conflict Minerals Report
Introduction
Our subsidiaries manufacture, market and sell various specialty chemical product lines, including high-quality specialty paints, infrastructure rehab and repair products, protective coatings, roofing systems, sealants and adhesives, focusing on the maintenance and improvement needs of the industrial, specialty and consumer markets. Our family of products includes those marketed under brand names such as API, Betumat, Carboline, CAVE, DAP, Day-Glo, Dri-Eaz, Dryvit, Ekspan, Euclid, EUCO, Fibergrate, Fibergrid, Fibercrete, Flecto, Flowcrete, Grupo PV, Hummervoll, illbruck, Key Resin, Mohawk, Prime Resins, Rust-Oleum, Specialty Polymer Coatings, Stonhard, TCI, Toxement, Tremco, Tuf-Strand, Universal Sealants, Viapol, Watco and Zinsser. As of May 31, 2018, our subsidiaries marketed products in approximately 166 countries and territories and operate manufacturing facilities in approximately 145 locations in the United States, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
After evaluating our diverse product lines, we have determined that the products we manufacture that may contain conflict minerals are our carpet / hard surface floor cleaning, structure drying and dehumidifying hardware products, bridge expansion joints, structural and elastomeric bearings, and relatively small quatities of our nail polish, industrial woodfinishes products, wood protection application systems and assembled applicator systems used for dispensing polyurethanes and epoxies (“Scoped Products”). After conducting a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) of the relevant direct raw material suppliers of our Scoped Products and in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13p-1), we are filing this Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”).
| Part I. | Due Diligence |
| A. | RCOI |
As part of our endeavors to improve efficiency and to continue to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and its Conflict Minerals provisions (the “Regulations”), we have a Conflict Minerals Policy (our “Policy”), which is publicly available atwww.rpminc.com/ConflictMinerals/. Our Policy continues to require an initial procedure whereby all our manufacturing companies must identify which direct raw material suppliers in their supply chains during the relevant reporting period may have supplied them with material containing one or more conflict minerals (“Relevant Suppliers”). When required, a RCOI, as more fully described below, was conducted on all relevant materials from such Relevant Suppliers and the suppliers’ responses were reviewed.
Requests for information were sent to Relevant Suppliers either directly by the responsible representatives associated with the Scoped Products or through Assent Compliance (“Assent”), a third-party provider engaged by RPM. Assent has specific expertise in “conflict-minerals specific” supply-chain data management. Through mid-May 2019, the responsible representatives associated with the Scoped Products and Assent ensured that follow-up communications were directed at Relevant Suppliers who did not respond to initial inquiries, in order to help obtain maximum participation from all Relevant Suppliers. Due to the fact that the contract with Assent did not occur until after RPM began its conflict minerals information gathering for the 2018 reporting period, for this reporting period, RPM used a combination of direct communications by responsible representatives at RPM’s manufacturing companies for some of the Scoped Products and communications through Assent for other products. These communications were all conducted in an attempt to track the requests for information submitted to the Relevant Suppliers.
Regardless of the communication methods used, suppliers were asked to provide responses consistent with the information sought by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s (“CFSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (hereinafter referred to as the “CMRT”). When an RPM manufacturing company’s responsible representative associated with the Scoped Products received a CMRT or other information from a supplier, that RPM representative uploaded that information to RPM’s internally-generated IT Interface previously developed by RPM. For responses submitted through Assent, Assent maintained that information and analyzed the data using data-management software and other information that is available to them.
1
The CMRT includes questions about each supplier’s conflict minerals policy and inquiries about each supplier’s RCOI or due diligence procedures related to conflict minerals sourcing. Furthermore, the CMRT requests the identification of known smelters used to process any disclosed conflict minerals.
| B. | Due Diligence Conducted on the Scoped Products’ 3TG Minerals Chain of Custody |
| 1. | Framework |
RPM continues to refer to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Due Diligence Framework”) and applied that internationally recognized framework to conduct our due diligence efforts. That framework incorporated and included the RCOI procedures.
| 2. | Due Diligence Measures Performed |
In accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Framework we incorporated the following measures during our due diligence of the Scoped Products:
| a) | Policy: Based upon lessons learned after the Conflict Minerals process used for the calendar year 2013 and 2014 reporting periods, and based upon professional guidance received from subject-matter experts, in 2015 we revised our Policy to more effectively identify whether (1) we may have any conflict minerals in any of our products, and (2) if so, to identify whether any conflict minerals contained in our products originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or its adjoining countries (“DRC Region”). The Policy is reviewed annually and revised when required. However, since 2015, any revisions have been largely non-substantive in nature and have not changed the two steps identified above. The Policy is applicable to all our subsidiaries and identifies the procedures each subsidiary must incorporate for internal communications, as well as communications with their suppliers and customers to ensure compliance with the Regulations. The Policy is publicly available atwww.rpminc.com/ConflictMinerals/. |
| b) | Internal Management Structure: Compliance with the Policy is supervised by RPM’s Senior Director of Global Compliance. Details regarding other direct management and internal and external communication requirements are described in the Policy and under the RCOI section above, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. |
| c) | Controls, Transparency, Engagement with Suppliers and Customers: Due to our decentralized operations, the Policy requires each subsidiary company to first identify whether any of its direct raw material suppliers may have provided it with products containing a conflict mineral during the relevant reporting period. If so, then the subsidiary company must identify a person responsible to conduct the RCOI and due diligence for the subsidiary company and to communicate with that company’s identified suppliers and maintain close coordination with RPM’s Senior Director of Global Compliance regarding conflict minerals matters. Alternatively, for this reporting period, a subsidiary company’s responsible representative could choose to use Assent to assist with the due diligence. Use of Assent to collect information and conduct analysis does not relieve the subsidiary company’s responsible representative of the responsibility to conduct RCOI, if required, and therefore the subsidiary company’s responsible representative is ultimately responsible to coordinate with Assent and to understand the procedures and information provided by Assent. As the Scoped Products are finished products which are not used as direct raw materials by any of our known customers, follow-on engagement with relevant customers was not a factor during the 2018 reporting period. |
2
| d) | Company Level Grievance Mechanism: The Policy is applicable to all our subsidiary companies, and therefore any violation of the Policy may be reported by anyone in accordance with our Values & Expectations of 168, which is RPM’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”). Options for disclosure under the Code include, but are not limited to, contacting RPM’s Hotline where permitted by law. Additionally, the Policy requires the subsidiary company’s responsible representative to report to RPM’s Senior Director of Global Compliance any non-responsive suppliers if that information is not otherwise available to him. The Code is publicly available atwww.rpminc.com/about-rpm/worldwide-code-guidelines/ and instructions for the Hotline are available atwww.rpminc.com/hotline/. |
| e) | Identification and Assessment of Risk in the Supply Chain: Based upon the relatively small number of Scoped Products as compared to the rest of our product lines, as well as the relatively small percentage of the global supply of conflict minerals originating from the DRC Region, we continue to believe that the risk that any suppliers are providing any conflict minerals to us that benefit the conflict in the DRC Region is remote. However, pursuant to our Policy and as part of the RCOI process, we and Assent asked Relevant Suppliers to respond to the CMRT questions. Therefore, during the RCOI process, Relevant Suppliers are asked to answer questions designed to determine whether they in fact provide non-recycled/non-scrap tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold (“3TG Minerals”) to our subsidiary companies and if so, whether they know from which smelters their 3TG Minerals have been processed. Relevant Suppliers are also asked to identify what, if any, conflict free policies and due diligence procedures they have in place. Questions related to smelters and to their due diligence procedures are required as part of applicable post-RCOI due diligence requirements, and are asked along with the RCOI questions in order to expedite due diligence process and limit the volume of required communications with any individual supplier who may have provided 3TG Minerals that may be contained in a Scoped Product. |
| f) | Design to Respond to Identified Risks: Through Assent’s analysis and direct communications by our subsidiary companies’ responsible representative with Relevant Suppliers, we have procedures whereby responses from Relevant Suppliers can be identified if a response rises to the level that causes someone to believe that a 3TG Mineral from the DRC Region could be contained in one of our products. When that occurs, review of the entirety of the due diligence portion of the questionnaire submitted by the Relevant Supplier is evaluated by Assent, an RPM representative or the relevant subsidiary company’s conflict minerals representative, and if needed, the Relevant Supplier will be contacted in order to clarify answers and to further identify smelters, the chain of custody of the direct material and to attempt to determine whether any mineral may have benefited the conflict in the DRC Region. Furthermore, in accordance with the Policy, any non-responsive suppliers may be ultimately considered by management of any applicable subsidiary for actions designed to mitigate any future risks of non-compliant behavior by a supplier that is related to conflict minerals. |
| g) | Follow-up with Relevant Suppliers: During the RCOI process we received written responses from many Relevant Suppliers of direct materials used to manufacture our Scoped Products. We used the due diligence measures described above with respect to these suppliers. Specifically, we, either directly or through Assent, reviewed the answers to all questions from the original questionnaires answered by those suppliers. As has been the case previously, a few suppliers identified smelters they believed may source from the DRC Region. However, it was difficult to determine whether the response from these suppliers was product-specific and exclusively covered products purchased by us, or whether it applied to the full spectrum of products such suppliers manufacture or sell. In fact, Assent’s initial inquiry to the suppliers requests CMRTs for the entire company. It is not until after a smelter is identified that may not be conflict free and sources from the DRC region, that Assent will inquire further in an attempt to determine whether the smelters in question specifically relate to the raw materials purchased by us. Therefore, it was not possible to determine whether the declarations of possible sourcing from the DRC Region were connected to any of our Scoped Products. |

| 3. | Independent Private Sector Audit |
Based upon SEC guidance, an independent private sector audit of the due diligence framework conducted by us is not required for this CMR.
| 4. | Risk Mitigation/Future Due Diligence Measures |
We continue to use an internally created IT Interface that we first used for the 2013 reporting period for some of the Scoped Products. However, although it remains the case that only a relatively small number of our products are Scoped Products as RPM grows the number of Scoped Products gradually increases. Therefore, for this reporting period Assent assisted us with RCOI and due diligence for some of the Scoped Products and we are evaluating whether expansion of the use of Assent is an efficient and effective approach for upcoming reporting periods. However, regardless of what processes we use, and as has been historically demonstrated since the 2013 reporting period, the information gathering process and the consolidation of collected information from suppliers is difficult and obtaining meaningful and relevant answers from suppliers is a cumbersome process.
A recurrent issue that we continue to attempt to mitigate is that many suppliers continue to be overburdened with the type, detail and number of inquiries, and therefore they continue to provide a “company-wide” response to specific inquiries (i.e., they provide responses that cover all of their products combined rather than specific responses for the distinct products sold to our subsidiary companies). Consequently, these suppliers have difficulty and are often reluctant to address specific questions related to a particular product purchased from them. For these suppliers, many of which are distributors and not manufacturers, responses indicating that 3TG Minerals are present and may have come from the DRC region only identify that one or more of their products may have Conflict Minerals implications, but such responses do not identify whether any one or more of the materials they supplied to us contains 3TG Minerals. In effect, these suppliers “over report” the existence of a 3TG Mineral and often identify smelters that may have no connection to direct raw materials we purchased from them. Therefore, such responses are not very informative or helpful. As in the past we continue to educate these suppliers and engage the purchasing representatives from our subsidiary manufacturers who have Relevant Suppliers to facilitate that education. However, education alone may be insufficient. In some instances these suppliers are not located within the U.S. and may feel as though the law is wholly inapplicable to them, are not manufacturers, deal with hundreds of suppliers and manufacturers themselves, and/or are unfamiliar with the reporting obligations of publicly traded companies in the U.S.
