Exhibit 1.01
CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF
ATRION CORPORATION
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM
JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2019
I. Introduction
This is the Conflict Minerals1 Report of Atrion Corporation (”we,” “our,” “us,” “Atrion,” or the “Company”) prepared for calendar year 2019 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). Numerous terms in this Report are defined in Rule 13p-1 of the Act and SEC Release No. 34-67716 (August 22, 2012) under the Act (the “Adopting Release”). The reader is referred to these sources for the definitions of defined terms contained herein.
In accordance with Rule 13p-1, we undertook efforts to determine the content and source of the minerals within our products. The Company designed its efforts in conformity with the internationally recognized due diligence framework set forth in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas2 (“OECD Due Diligence Guidance”) and related Supplements.
The statements below are based on the activities performed to date, in good faith, by Atrion and are based on the infrastructure and information available at the time of this filing. Factors that could affect the accuracy of these statements include, but are not limited to, incomplete supplier data or available smelter data, errors or omissions by suppliers or smelters, evolving definition and confirmation of smelters, incomplete information from industry or other third-party sources, continuing guidance regarding the SEC final rules, and other issues.
II. Overview
Company Profile
Atrion Corporation develops and manufactures products primarily for medical applications. Our products advance the standard of care by increasing safety for patients and providers. We target niche markets, with particular emphasis on fluid delivery, cardiovascular and ophthalmology applications.
We are subject to this rule as we have determined that, during 2019, conflict minerals were likely necessary to the functionality or production of products we manufactured or contracted to manufacture. The Company, as a purchaser of component parts, is many steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals. We do not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals and we conduct no purchasing activities directly in the DRC or the adjoining countries.
Conflict Minerals Policy
The Company developed a policy statement to support the goals expressed by Congress in enacting Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The policy highlights the Company’s commitment to complying with the reporting and due diligence obligations required by the SEC rule and the Company’s expectations from its suppliers. The policy resides on our corporate website at: http://atrioncorp.com/investor_relations/Investor_Relations.htm.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Information
We have conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals originated in the DRC or an adjoining country or came from recycled or scrap sources.
The Company’s RCOI process included reviewing the products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period to identify products that should be deemed in-scope as described by the Adopting Release and conducting an inquiry of our direct suppliers of the in-scope products using the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”). Based on the results of our RCOI which indicated sourcing from the DRC or an adjoining country, we exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in accordance with the OECD framework. Our due diligence efforts are discussed further in this Conflict Minerals Report.
Due Diligence Program Design
The Company designed its conflict minerals program to conform, in all material respects, with the five-step framework of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, the Supplement on Tin, Tantalum, and Tungsten, and the Supplement on Gold, specifically as it relates to our position in the minerals supply chain as a “downstream” company:
Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner due diligence practices
Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
III. Due Diligence Measures Performed by Atrion Corporation
The following describes the measures taken to reasonably determine the country of origin and to exercise due diligence in the mineral supply chain in conformance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.
Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
We implemented the following as part of our conflict minerals program:
a.
Conflict minerals team – Atrion established a conflict minerals team that included individuals from the appropriate business units and departments, i.e. business unit procurement management, corporate compliance, and the corporate Chief Financial Officer. The team was structured to ensure critical information, including the Company policy, reached relevant employees and suppliers.
b.
Conflict minerals policy – Atrion adopted and published a policy establishing the expectations of our suppliers. The policy resides on our corporate website. The policy will be periodically reviewed and updated as needed.
c.
Supplier engagement – Atrion provided educational materials to our queried suppliers. Suppliers were provided information on the conflict minerals disclosure requirements as well as recommendations for developing, implementing, and documenting a conflict minerals compliance program and a link to Atrion Corp.’s Conflict Minerals Policy.
d.
Records management – Atrion maintains records relating to our conflict minerals program in accordance with the recommended record retention guidelines of five years.
Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
We performed the following steps as part of our risk assessment process:
a.
Identified products in scope – Our conflict minerals team conducted a detailed review of the products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period to identify products that should be deemed in-scope as described by the Adopting Release.
b.
Conducted RCOI – Atrion utilized the most recent version of the industry-developed CMRT to query our suppliers for conflict minerals information. We requested this information from the Tier 1 suppliers who provide material and components for the products deemed in-scope by our conflict minerals team. We evaluated the responses from the templates submitted by our suppliers to determine our reporting obligation based on this RCOI. See Appendix I for a list of countries of origin identified through the RCOI process.
c.
Completed additional follow-up – Atrion contacted direct suppliers that did not respond to our request for conflict minerals information by the requested date. We also worked to clarify and validate the information provided by our suppliers.
d.
Identify smelters or refiners (“SORs”) – Atrion compiled a list of SORs in our supply chain using our suppliers’ responses in their CMRTs. We reconciled this list to the list of smelter facilities designated by the RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”). The RMAP, London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), and Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC) complete independent, third-party audits of smelters and refiners to determine which can be validated as having systems in place that ensure the minerals are responsibly sourced according to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. We have provided that list in this report within section IV – Product Description; Processing Facilities.
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
We performed the following steps as part of our risk management plan:
a.
Reporting results to senior management – As necessary, the Conflict Minerals team reports the results of our RCOI to upper management, which included the team’s plan to respond to risks, identified in the due diligence processes.
b.
Designed and implemented a plan – Atrion used established risk rating criteria to evaluate suppliers based on the responses provided within their CMRT, as well as, any additional documentation furnished to support those responses and the suppliers’ due diligence processes. The resulting risk ratings will be used to develop specific outreach and training to address the identified risks and to take corrective actions with suppliers found not in compliance with the Company’s conflict minerals policy.
c.
Verified SORs – As part of the risk mitigation process, the Company reconciled the list of SORs collected from suppliers to the list of smelter facilities identified by the RMI.
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner due diligence practices
The Company is using information provided by independent third party audit programs, including the RMI,LBMA, and RJC, to confirm the existence and verify the OECD-conformance status of SORs identified during our due diligence.
Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
Accordingly, this Conflict Minerals Report has been filed with the SEC and is available on our website at http://atrioncorp.com/investor_relations/Investor_Relations.htm.
IV. Product Description
Products - The products subject to this report are:
Our MPS and ACTester electronic console products sold by our Quest Medical, Inc. subsidiary, as well as Inflation Products sold by our Halkey Roberts, Inc. subsidiary. In addition, the QL® Inflation Devices and NeedleVISE® products sold by our Atrion Medical Products, Inc. subsidiary are subject to this report.
Processing Facilities – Based on our due diligence process and the information received from our suppliers, the following facilities were identified by the Company’s suppliers as the smelters and refiners of the tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold present in and necessary to the functionality of products manufactured by the Company in the calendar year ended December 31, 2019. The information from our suppliers is still evolving and may contain company-level declarations. As such, this smelter list is presented in good faith as the best information we have to date. This list may contain smelters that are not in our supply chain and/or there may be other smelters not yet identified in our due diligence process. We will continue to update the list as our information and the relevant third-party data from RMI, LBMA, and RJC improves.

V. Future Due Diligence
We will continue to communicate our expectations and information requirements to our direct suppliers. Over time, we anticipate that the amount of information globally on the traceability and sourcing of these ores will increase and improve our knowledge. We will continue to make inquiries to our direct suppliers and undertake additional risk assessments when potentially relevant changes in facts or circumstances are identified. If we become aware of a supplier whose due diligence needs improvement, we intend to continue the trade relationship while that supplier improves its compliance program. We expect our suppliers to take similar measures with their suppliers to ensure alignment throughout the supply chain.
In addition to those above, the Company may undertake the following steps during the next compliance period:
●
Review the conflict minerals policy statement and update if necessary.
●
Continue to collect responses from suppliers using the most recent version of the CMRT.
●
Monitor and track performance of risk mitigation efforts.
●
Engage with suppliers that did not provide a response in 2019 or provided incomplete responses to enhance our data collection for 2020.
Collect from our suppliers product-level or user-defined level responses where useful.–
●
Compare and validate RCOI results to information collected via independent third-party audit programs, such as the RMI, and through our Company’s own coordinated outreach to smelters.
●
Encourage responsible sourcing from the DRC and adjoining countries.
