Exhibit 1.01
Conflict Minerals Report of SL Industries, Inc.
This Conflict Minerals Report of SL Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“SL Industries”), for calendar year 2015 is presented to comply with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Section 1502”) and Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”). Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean SL Industries and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Section 1502 and Rule 13p-1 require that SL Industries perform certain procedures and disclose information about the use and origin of conflict minerals if these minerals are deemed to be necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by SL Industries, or contracted to be manufactured for SL Industries. The minerals covered by these rules are commonly referred to as “conflict minerals” and include tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (collectively “3TG”).
SL Industries, Inc., through its subsidiaries, designs, manufactures and markets power electronics, motion control, power protection, power quality electromagnetic equipment, and custom gears and gearboxes that are used in a variety of medical, commercial and military aerospace, computer, datacom, industrial, architectural and entertainment lighting, and telecom applications. Its products are generally incorporated into larger systems to improve operating performance, safety, reliability and efficiency. The Company’s products are largely sold to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and, to a lesser extent, to commercial distributors.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company operated under three business segments: SL Power Electronics Corp. (“SLPE”), the High Power Group, and SL Montevideo Technology, Inc. (“SL-MTI”). TEAL Electronics Corp. (“TEAL”) and MTE Corporation (“MTE”) were combined into one business segment, which was reported as the High Power Group.
SLPE designs, manufactures and markets high-reliability power conversion products in internal and external footprints. The Company’s power supplies provide a reliable and safe power source for the customer’s specific equipment needs. SLPE, which sells products under three brand names (SL Power Electronics, Condor and Ault), is a major supplier to the OEMs of medical, industrial/instrumentation, military, information technology equipment, and architectural and entertainment lighting markets.

HIGH POWER GROUP sells products under two brand names: TEAL and MTE. TEAL designs and manufactures power quality products that include noise suppression isolation transformers, power conditioned distribution systems, voltage regulators, and high level integrated cabinets with preinstalled prewired power quality and distribution components. TEAL primarily sells to OEMs of medical imaging, medical treatment, military aerospace, semiconductor, solar, and advanced simulation systems. MTE designs and manufactures power quality solutions used to protect electrical equipment from power surges, bring harmonics into compliance and improve the efficiency of variable speed motor drive systems. MTE’s standard product lines include: harmonic filters, three-phase AC reactors, DC link chokes, and motor protection filters. TEAL and MTE also design and build customer specific and custom products for special applications. These products are typically used in industrial plants, renewable energy facilities, and commercial buildings.
SL-MTIdesigns and manufactures high power density precision motors that are used in numerous mission critical applications, including military and commercial aerospace, oil and gas, medical, and industrial products. With the acquisition of Torque Systems, Inc. (“Torque Systems”) on May 22, 2015, SL-MTI’s product portfolio has expanded to include engineered motion control products, including brush servo motors, brushless servo motors, incremental encoders, and linear actuators. SL-MTI’s product portfolio was further expanded by the Davall Gears, LTD. (“Davall”) acquisition on July 27, 2015, which includes custom gears, gearboxes, and assemblies primarily for the military and aerospace markets. The Company intends to integrate the products of the recently acquired Torque Systems and Davall businesses into our conflict minerals due diligence program in 2016.
Description of SL Industries’ Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
In accordance with Section 1502, SL Industries has performed a ‘reasonable country of origin inquiry’ (“RCOI”) on minerals that were in our supply chain during 2015 to determine whether these minerals were sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or adjoining countries (“the Covered Countries”) or come from recycled or scrap sources. As a result of the RCOI process, SL Industries has concluded in good faith that during 2015:
| • | SL Industries has manufactured and contracted to manufacture products to which 3TG are necessary to the functionality or production of such products and; |
| • | SL Industries was not able to conclude the source of raw materials for all products the Company manufactures or contracts to be manufactured. |
Due Diligence
SL Industries designed its due diligence measures to conform in all material respects with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas (“OECD Framework”).
Page5 of16
SL Industries’ due diligence measures were based on the OECD Framework and extensive communications with its suppliers. SL Industries, as a purchaser, is many steps removed from the mining of the conflict minerals and does not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals. The Company focused its efforts for the third reporting year on continuing to build conflict mineral awareness with its suppliers and contract manufacturers, assessing the transparency of its supply chain, and identifying the smelters/refiners in its supply chain.
In year three, SL Industries continued its established system of internal controls to identify and trace conflict minerals usage within its supply chain. A summary of SL Industries’ activities, which are in line with the OECD Framework, are outlined below.
Step 1: Establish a company management system
| • | SL Industries maintains a conflict minerals policy that reflects the Company’s desire to achieve a DRC conflict free determination over time. SL Industries has established a governance model to oversee the implementation and ongoing management of a conflict minerals compliance including a Steering Committee to solicit the participation of leadership from the various SL Industries business units and a conflict minerals Core Team responsible for maintaining the conflict minerals policy, the annual project plan, communication strategy, awareness training, project status report, and standard retention policy. |
| • | SL Industries has an annual process to evaluate parts and suppliers in the supply chain for potential conflict minerals risk. In alignment with the OECD guidelines, SL Industries’ subsidiaries conduct a risk rated analysis of products, parts, and suppliers. Additionally, supplier agreements require suppliers to provide information on their use and source of conflict minerals. |
| • | SL Industries has communicated its policy regarding conflict minerals to all suppliers and provides annual conflict minerals training. |
| • | SL Industries has provided a feedback mechanism on its website athttp://sli.irpage.net/c-minerals.php, which is available to all interested parties to provide information or voice their concerns regarding the company’s sourcing and use of conflict minerals in its products. |
Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
| • | On an annual basis, SL Industries performs due diligence in the identification of the parts within each of our active bills of materials (“BOMs”) that are known or are likely to contain conflict minerals using risk based approach to further identify the supplier from whom those parts are sourced. For parts purchased from third party distributors, SL Industries has continued its efforts to identify the manufacturer of parts. |
Page6 of16
| • | SL Industries requires suppliers to complete a survey at the supplier and part level utilizing the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT). |
| • | SL Industries reviews survey responses received from suppliers for completeness and follows-up with any supplier that has not completed the survey through an outreach program. |
| • | SL Industries reviews survey responses received from suppliers and validates them for completeness and sufficiency. |
| • | SL Industries reviews aggregated supplier survey responses and reports key RCOI metrics as part of an internal bi-monthly conflict minerals reporting process. |
| • | SL Industries conducts a review of summary smelter information to determine if the smelter is certified as conflict free or if supporting information presents a “red flag” as defined by the OECD Guidance. |
Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
| • | SL Industries reviews supplier responses to the RCOI, any risks identified are evaluated, and opportunities to mitigate risk are identified. |
| • | Conflict mineral reporting requirements have been integrated into SL Industries’ broader internal control procedures. |
| • | SL Industries has established the capability to routinely obtain, maintain, and retrieve the key data required to demonstrate reasonable efforts for compliance. Additional fact finding, risk assessments, and changes in circumstances will take place as part of SL Industries’ annual review of the conflict minerals compliance program. |
Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices
| • | In accordance with the OECD guidance, SL Industries participates in industry driven programs and supports independent third-party audits of the smelter/refiner’s due diligence by independent industry associations who perform these audits. Given the nature of SL Industries’ business, our position within the supply chain, the associated cost, as well as the current lack of transparency in the supply chain, SL Industries is not in a position to audit smelters/refiners. |
Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
| • | SL Industries performs due diligence on our conflict minerals supply chain annually, and maintains a process to summarize, review, and approve compliance results, completion of the Form Specialized Disclosure and the Conflict Minerals Report and timely file this report with the SEC. |
Page7 of16
Risk Mitigation and Future Due Diligence Measures
SL Industries will continue to improve its due diligence efforts through increasingly focused effort including (but not limited to):
| • | Continue to require suppliers to identify the 3TG contained in the products they supply and when requested on an annual basis, provide current, accurate and complete information on the smelter and refiners used in the manufacture of parts supplied to SL Industries. |
| • | Continue to direct the reasonable country of inquiry for parts purchased from third party distributors to the manufacturer of parts when able. |
| • | Maintain the work with suppliers in the SL Industries’ supply chain to provide the required information and identify new supply chain partners to improve and refine the country of origin information collected. |
| • | Integrate the products of the recently acquired Torque Systems and Davall businesses into our conflict minerals due diligence program. |
Determination
Based on the information provided by SL Industries’ suppliers utilized through December 31, 2015, SL Industries believes that the facilities that may have been used to process 3TG’s in SL Industries’ product include the smelters and refiners listed in Appendix 1 of this report. The supplier responses included Conflict Free, Known and Unknown smelters, but based on the absence of reliable information on the Unknown smelters, only the Conflict Free and Known smelters are included.
Based on these due diligence efforts and the absence of full supply chain visibility throughout the supply base, SL Industries is unable to determine the source of origin of the conflict minerals and does not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of 3TG’s contained in SL Industries’ products.
Based on the process described above, SL Industries received responses from approximately 275 direct material suppliers, representing approximately 48% of the active parts surveyed that were used in its 2015 manufactured goods.
