Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01. Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
This Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (“Form SD”) of CTS Corporation (“CTS”) for the year ended December 31, 2024, is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Rule 13p-1 under the Exchange Act provides that a registrant must file this specialized disclosure report on Form SD if it manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which certain “Conflict Minerals” (as defined herein) are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Conflict Minerals include cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, tin, tantalum, and tungsten.
Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of certain of the products manufactured by CTS or contracted by CTS to be manufactured and are required to be reported in the calendar year covered by this Form SD. As required for products that contain Conflict Minerals, CTS conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry with its relevant direct suppliers and undertook due diligence measures reasonably designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the “Covered Countries”). CTS’ Conflict Minerals policy is publicly available on its website at: https://investors.ctscorp.com/governance.
