Section 1 - CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE
| Item 1.01 | CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE AND REPORT |
Weatherford International Ltd. (“Weatherford”, “we”, “our” or “Company”) analyzed our operations to determine if columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten (“Conflict Minerals”) were necessary for the production or functionality of products manufactured or contracted for manufacture by Weatherford in calendar year 2013 (“Necessary Conflict Minerals”). We have taken the following measures in performing this analysis:
| • | Distributed a supply chain questionnaire to identify suppliers that may incorporate Conflict Minerals in their products; |
| • | Analyzed supplier questionnaire responses, sought clarification or additional information where necessary, and followed up with non-responsive suppliers; |
| • | Performed a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine (i) whether Necessary Conflict Minerals originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (“Covered Country”) or are from recycled or scrap sources, and (ii) the facilities in which such Necessary Conflict Minerals were manufactured, mined or produced, as well as the source and chain of custody of such Necessary Conflict Minerals; and |
| • | Surveyed suppliers on their company-wide Conflict Minerals due diligence processes and policies. |
