Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 | Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report |
We have determined that we either manufacture or contract to manufacture certain products for whose functionality or production minerals deemed to be “conflict minerals” under Rule13p-1 and Form SD are necessary. Consequently, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding those conflict minerals that is reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country or are from recycled or scrap sources.
On the basis of this reasonable country of origin inquiry, while we have no reason to believe that the necessary conflict minerals (i) may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country or (ii) may not be from recycled or scrap sources, we were not able to determine definitively that the conflict minerals either (x) did or did not originate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country or (y) did in fact come from recycled or scrap sources. Consequently, we are filing a Conflict Minerals Report, attached hereto as exhibit 1.01, and this Report is also available on our website at:
