Section 1 — CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

This Form SD of CPI Card Group Inc. (also referred to herein as “CPI,” “we,” “our”) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”), for the reporting period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

CPI has concluded in good faith that during 2023, our business manufactured or contracted to have manufactured products for which conflict minerals as defined in the Rule (“Conflict Minerals”) are necessary to their functionality or production. As required by the Rule, we conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the source of the Conflict Minerals. CPI does not have sufficient information from our suppliers or other sources at this time to conclude whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated or may have originated in the Covered Countries (as defined in the Rule) and if so, whether those Conflict Minerals are solely from recycled or scrap sources.

Description of Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

For 2023, CPI surveyed its direct suppliers to obtain country of origin information for the Conflict Minerals in our products using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template from the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”), formerly the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative, an initiative started by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”).

That supply chain survey requested suppliers to identify the smelters, refiners and countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals they supply to CPI. We compared the smelters identified in the surveys against the lists of facilities which have received a “conformant” designation by the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) provided by the RMI. If a smelter identified by our suppliers was not listed as having received a “conformant” designation, we reviewed its website and other information in an attempt to determine country of origin information for the Conflict Minerals that it processed.

Based on the results of our inquiry, we proceeded with due diligence measures pursuant to the Rule. There is significant overlap between our RCOI efforts and the due diligence measures we performed. Both are discussed in more detail in the Conflict Minerals Report filed as Exhibit 1.01.
