Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure:
This specialized disclosure report on Form SD is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) by Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited (the “Registrant”) for the calendar year ending December 31, 2024.
a.Country of Origin Inquiry: Registrant is a holding company, whose subsidiaries are engaged primarily in the manufacture and distribution of wire and cable products for the telecommunications and electric-power industries, and electronic wire for applications in an array of electronic products. The electronic wire contains tin, which is included in the definition of a “conflict mineral” located in SEC Form SD, Section 1, Item 1.01(d)(3).
Registrant conducted in good faith, a due diligence and country of origin inquiry reasonably designed to determine whether any of the tin originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, or came from recycled or scrap sources. Registrant identified its suppliers of tin, or components or products which may contain tin, and reached out to those suppliers requesting information about the origin of such tin. Those suppliers confirmed to the Registrant that all tin sold and provided to the Registrant or its relevant operating subsidiaries during the reporting period was sourced from Thailand.
b.Determination: Based on its reasonable country of origin inquiry, Registrant determined, and reasonably believes, that none of its products for the period covered by this report contained a “conflict mineral” originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
c.Internet Website: The information disclosed in this Form SD is publicly available on Registrant’s website at www.apwcc.com, by selecting “Investor Relations”, then “SEC Filings” then “View” in “All form groups”, and then selecting Documents next to “SD” under the heading Filings.
