Section 1 — Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Background
In August 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its rule on conflict minerals in accordance with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The SEC rule requires registrants with conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of its products to disclose certain information regarding the sourcing of such minerals, specifically if such minerals were sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or certain adjoining countries (collectively “Conflict Region”). Conflict minerals are currently identified as gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to - by the SEC’s rule - tantalum, tin, and tungsten.
Determination Disclosure
As of December 31, 2013, The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. (the “Company”) has concluded that conflict minerals necessary to the functionality or production of products contracted by the Company to be manufactured did not originate in the Conflict Region.
Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”)
The Company performed a RCOI to determine whether any conflict minerals may have originated in the Conflict Region. To complete its RCOI, the Company identified all suppliers that were contracted to manufacture products for the Company during the calendar year ended December 31, 2013. Next, the Company contacted each of the identified suppliers and requested they review and complete a conflict minerals reporting template.
RCOI Results
The Company reviewed the responses from the suppliers to ensure all appropriate information was provided and believes the information provided is reasonably reliable and supports the Company’s determination disclosure. Based on the results of the Company’s RCOI, the Company identified a limited number of suppliers that used conflict minerals in the manufacturing of their products for the Company. The Company was informed by these suppliers that the conflict minerals were not sourced from the Conflict Region.
