Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01.
 
Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
This
 
report
 
for
 
the
 
calendar
 
year
 
ended
 
December
 
31,
 
2022
 
is
 
presented
 
to
 
comply
 
with
 
Rule
13p-1
 
under
 
the
 
Securities
 
Exchange
 
Act
 
of
 
1934
 
(the
 
“Rule”).
 
The
 
Rule
 
imposes
 
certain
reporting
 
obligations
 
on
 
Securities
 
and
 
Exchange
 
Commission
 
registrants
 
whose
 
manufactured
products contain conflict
 
minerals which are necessary
 
to the functionality
 
or production of their
products. Conflict
 
Minerals are
 
defined as
 
cassiterite, columbite-tantalite,
 
gold, wolframite,
 
and
their derivatives,
 
which are
 
limited to
 
tin, tantalum,
 
and tungsten.
 
These requirements
 
apply to
registrants whatever the
 
geographic origin of the
 
Conflict Minerals and
 
whether or not they
 
fund
armed conflict.
If
 
a
 
registrant
 
conducts
 
a
 
Reasonable
 
Country
 
of
 
Origin
 
Inquiry
 
(“RCOI”)
 
and
 
determines
 
that
the conflict
 
minerals originated
 
from sources
 
other than
 
the Democratic
 
Republic of
 
the Congo
or an
 
adjoining country
 
(the “Covered
 
Countries”), or
 
from recycled
 
and scrap
 
sources, they
 
are
required only to submit a Form SD, which describes the RCOI.
Although
 
a
 
substantial
 
percentage
 
of
 
the
 
products
 
we
 
sell
 
are
 
purchased
 
from
 
third-party
suppliers
 
as
 
finished
 
products,
 
we
 
manufacture
 
or
 
contract
 
with
 
third
 
parties
 
to
 
manufacture
 
a
portion of
 
our product
 
portfolio.
 
We
 
determined that
 
certain of
 
those products
 
contain Conflict
Minerals that are necessary to their functionality or production.
 
To
 
determine if the Conflict Minerals
 
in our manufactured and other covered
 
products originated
from
 
sources
 
in
 
the
 
Covered
 
Countries,
 
we
 
conducted
 
a
 
RCOI
 
in
 
good
 
faith.
 
We
 
surveyed
 
all
known
 
suppliers
 
from
 
whom
 
we
 
purchase
 
materials
 
containing
 
the
 
Conflict
 
Minerals.
 
Where
such
 
suppliers
 
did
 
not
 
initially
 
provide
 
sufficient
 
information,
 
we
 
used
 
the
 
Conflict
 
Minerals
Reporting
 
Template
 
(a
 
supply
 
chain
 
survey
 
designed
 
to
 
identify
 
smelters
 
and
 
refiners
 
that
process
 
the
 
necessary
 
Conflict
 
Minerals
 
contained
 
in
 
our
 
products)
 
to
 
obtain
 
the
 
relevant
 
data.
 
All such suppliers provided to us one or more of the following:
 
•
the policy they have in place to not purchase any products containing Conflict Minerals
originating from the Covered Countries;
•
confirmation that their suppliers have affirmed to them that they have not provided any
materials containing Conflict Minerals originating from the Covered Countries; and/or
•
the name of the smelter from whom the product originated and we identified said
smelter as certified Conflict-Free using the Conflict Free-Sourcing Initiative’s web-site
listing of conflict-free smelters.
As a result
 
of our RCOI,
 
we have no
 
reason to believe
 
that our necessary
 
Conflict Minerals may
have originated in the Covered Countries.
