Exhibit 1.01
Arctic Cat Inc. Conflict Minerals Report
For the year ended December 31, 2015
Introduction
This report for the year ended December 31, 2015, has been prepared and is presented to comply with Section 13(p) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) and Form SD thereunder. The Rule was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”). The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products. Conflict minerals are defined in Section 13(p) as (A) casseiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tungsten and tantalum (together with gold collectively known as the 3TGs), or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or any adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the DRC (the “Covered Countries”).
Arctic Cat Inc. determined that 3TGs were necessary to the functionality or production of some of the products that we manufactured or contracted to be manufactured during the 2015 year. Therefore, Arctic Cat conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) in good faith to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals in its products originated from the Covered Countries. Based on the RCOI, the Company has reason to believe that some of the 3TGs may have originated from the Covered Countries, therefore, in accordance with the Rule, performed due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs in question.
Forward-Looking Statements
The Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (each a “forward-looking statement”). The words “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” and “anticipates” and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future actions or performance. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.
Company Information

1
Description of Products
Arctic Cat is a manufacturer of sport and recreational off-highway vehicles, such as snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles, as well as related parts, lubricants, garments and accessories. Only certain goods that Arctic Cat manufactures require procurement of components that use tin, tungsten, tantalum, and/or gold (“3TGs”) and would be considered Covered Products. While our Covered Products incorporate parts and/or assemblies fabricated from any of the 3TGs, Arctic Cat does not source 3TGs directly from mines or from smelters or refiners. The materials, subassemblies and other items incorporated into our Covered Products that we have reason to believe may contain 3TGs are acquired from a large number of unaffiliated suppliers. For the purpose of this assessment the products that have been considered are only those products that contain or are likely to contain 3TGs.
Management Systems
Internal Team:
Arctic Cat’s Internal Conflict Minerals Team involves a cross-functional team that provides oversight and guides the business team concerning the Conflict Minerals Program requirements. This team includes representatives from Supply Chain, Engineering, Accounting & Finance, Legal and Trade Compliance.
The Conflict Minerals Team reports its findings to senior management. These findings include direct suppliers’ responses to conflict minerals information requests, updates on monitoring and tracking, corrective action and risk mitigation efforts where applicable.
Arctic Cat has also implemented an outside management system through the use of a third-party service provider. Through this tool we are able to collect and store supplier data and compliance documents, communicate with suppliers, and monitor risks in our supply.
Conflict Minerals Policy:
Arctic Cat has adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy that outlines our commitment to ensuring ethical sourcing. This policy is communicated to our direct suppliers and available on the Supplier Portal. Arctic Cat encourages our suppliers to develop policies on Conflict Minerals and to mitigate risk of inclusion of Conflict Minerals in the supply chain.
Control Systems:
Since we do not typically have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, we are engaged and actively cooperate with other major manufacturers in our business sector and other sectors, through our own efforts and those organized by trade associations. We also participate in or actively monitor the following industry-wide initiatives to disclose upstream actors in the supply chain: Monitor the actions of the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition-Global e-Sustainability Initiative’s (“EICC-GeSI”) Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), as well as other manufacturing industry consortiums including the National Association of Manufacturers (“NAM”), and participates in Twin Cities Conflict Minerals Task Force.
Controls include, but are not limited to, our Code of Conduct, which outlines expected behaviors for all Arctic Cat employees and third parties doing business with Arctic Cat, and our Policy regarding Conflict Minerals.
2
Supplier Engagement:
With respect to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) requirement to strengthen engagement with suppliers, we have utilized the CMRT version 4 and a third-party service provider’s web-based reporting tool for collecting Conflict Minerals declarations from our direct suppliers. These tools have allowed us to educate our suppliers to help them understand our expectations and requirements and increase the rate of responses we have received from our suppliers to our survey requests. We continue to follow-up with suppliers to educate them on the Rule, the use of the CMRT, and Arctic Cat’s expectations for their supply chain due diligence and reporting.
Grievance Mechanism:
An established grievance system is located on the Arctic Cat Corporate website athttp://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=97941&p=irol-governance.
Maintain Records:
Records are maintained relating to Conflict Minerals including but not limited to risk assessments, supplier survey responses, and correspondence per applicable record retention policies.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Arctic Cat identified and assessed the risk in the supply chain and made a good faith effort to perform its RCOI by expanding the scope of this review in 2015. The scope included 97% of Arctic Cat’s largest direct suppliers based upon spend and was expanded to include the supply chain under the Motorfist® brand. Within its supplier group, Arctic Cat also scoped according to risk by identifying those suppliers that provide components (including materials, subassemblies or other items) that possibly contain 3TGs.
We defined the scoping process further by removing service providers, indirect materials suppliers, and suppliers that are no longer active as they have not provided us products in the 2015 year. Once this was complete, Arctic Cat and our third party service provider began the supplier survey portion of the RCOI.
Suppliers were surveyed via an automated platform that enables its users to complete and track supplier communications. Suppliers received this communication describing the compliance requirements and were asked to provide answers to the EICC-GeSI Conflict Minerals Common Reporting Template (“CMRT”) version 4.01. The CMRT is regarded as the most common reporting tool for conflict minerals content and sourcing information worldwide, developed by several of the world’s leading consumer electronics companies. To ensure our suppliers understand our expectations regarding the sourcing of 3TGs, we and our third-party service provider have provided training to our suppliers through webinars, videos and substantial one-on-one discussions. If suppliers did not provide a response, they were contacted a minimum of three times and were also managed by our service provider in one on one communications for escalation purposes.
A notable addition to our program in 2015 was the automated data validation on all submitted CMRTs. The goal of this validation is to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers. All submitted forms are accepted and classified as valid or invalid so that data is still retained. All suppliers who submitted CMRTs that were flagged as “invalid” were contacted to address items such as incomplete data, missing smelter information, or inconsistent answers. All of these communications were monitored and tracked in our service provider’s system for future reporting and transparency.

At the time of this report, Arctic Cat has received responses from 87% of the suppliers surveyed.
Arctic Cat believes the risk assessment and RCOI process were reasonably designed and performed in good faith. Accordingly, Arctic Cat engaged in the due diligence measures on the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs that were claimed by our suppliers. These measures are described in the next section of this Conflict Minerals Report.
Design of Due Diligence
Arctic Cat designed its due diligence framework in conformity with nationally and internationally recognized due diligence frameworks, specifically, the five step framework established by the OECD. This was outlined in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Second Edition and the related Supplements for gold, tin, tantalum, and tungsten (the “Guidance”). The design of our due diligence process conforms to the Guidance as applicable to our circumstances and position in the supply chain as a “downstream” company with little to no direct influence on smelters/refiners.
Due Diligence Measures Undertaken
The design of our due diligence process conforms to Step 3 and (to the extent necessary at this time) Step 4 of the OECD Guidance as applicable to our circumstances and position in the supply chain as a “downstream” company with little to no direct influence on smelters/refiners.
1. Identify and Assess Risks:
A comparison of smelters and/or refiners (“SORs”) identified by suppliers was conducted. Validated SORs were matched against available lists of processors that have been certified by internationally-recognized industry organizations, particularly the CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program. If the SOR was not certified by an internationally-recognized organization, further outreach and research was conducted as necessary.
Arctic Cat also took steps to understand risk levels associated with conflict minerals in the supply chain. Smelters that are not certified as DRC-Conflict Free by third party sources such as the CFSI or the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) Responsible Gold Programme, were identified as posing a potential risk. This analysis involved various factors, including whether the SOR has an associated Smelter Identification Number (under the CFSI, this is known as a CID) and the smelter’s geographic location, including proximity to the Covered Countries. Arctic Cat also took steps to gain more information and evaluate the SOR’s sourcing practices, including countries of origin and transfer, and whether there were any internal due diligence procedures in place or other processes the SOR had taken to track the chain-of-custody on the source of its mineral ores.
2. Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risks
Risk mitigation plans for non-compliant suppliers will be developed specifically to each supplier’s level of non-compliance. When all mitigation efforts have been exhausted, Arctic Cat will consider disengaging with suppliers.

3. Utilize Independent Third Party Audits
The Company does not have any direct relationship with SORs and does not perform or direct audits on SORs identified by our supply chain. Instead, Arctic Cat relies on third-party audits performed by an internationally-recognized validation organization, such as the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative.
Pursuant to the Rule, this report is not subject to an independent private sector audit.
4. Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence
Arctic Cat has reported its conflict minerals disclosure to the SEC. We have made this report publically available on our website at:http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=97941&p=irol-sec
Facilities Used to Process 3TG & Countries of Origin
Since most of the CMRTs we received from our suppliers were made on a company or division level basis, rather than on a product-level basis, we are not able to identify which SORs listed below reported by our suppliers actually processed the 3TGs contained in our products. The following list of processing SORs may contain more facilities than those that actually processed the 3TGs contained in our products. The following list also identifies those SORs that Arctic Cat identified as achieving Conflict Free designation by the CFSI:
