    Section 1 -Conflict Minerals Disclosure

     

    Item 1.01Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

     

    Conflict Minerals Disclosure

     

    Based in Atlanta, Georgia, and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “GPN,” Global Payments Inc. (“Global Payments” or the “Company”) is a leading payments technology company delivering innovative software and services to customers globally. Global Payments’ technologies, services and team member expertise allow it to provide a broad range of solutions that enable its customers to operate their businesses more efficiently across a variety of channels around the world.

     

    Summary

     

    Based on the Company’s reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) and the procedures described in this Form SD, the Company has determined that, with respect to the products required to be reported by this Form SD for the period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 (the “Reporting Period”), the Company has no reason to believe that any conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively the “Covered Countries”), as those terms are defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     

    Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

     

    The Company follows a conflict minerals policy and related procedures focused on its commitment to sourcing components and materials from suppliers that share the Company’s ethical values and that support compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s regulations as well as the Company’s disclosure obligations related to conflict minerals. These policies and related procedures have guided the Company’s continued development and deployment of internal systems, supply chain due diligence efforts and, ultimately, the Company’s RCOI conducted in connection with this Form SD.

     

    Throughout 2024, the Company’s conflict minerals efforts, and RCOI process, were designed to confirm conflict mineral content in the products the Company contracted to manufacture, further obtain transparency into its product supply chain for such products, and, more generally, to increase engagement from its suppliers concerning conflict minerals issues. The specific goal of the Company’s RCOI was to determine whether the conflict minerals in its relevant products originated in the Covered Countries. In part, the Company’s 2024 RCOI process included:

     

    ●maintaining a long-term working group comprised of representatives from the Company’s operational, legal and supply chain functions, as well as external advisors with conflict minerals expertise;

     

    ●surveying the Company’s suppliers to verify critical information about the presence and origin of conflict minerals contained in the products they supply to the Company;

     

    ●communicating diligently with any significant suppliers that did not timely respond to surveys or provided incomplete surveys; and

     

    2

     

     

    ●analyzing supplier responses and evaluating information in a manner designed to provide the Company with a reasonable basis for its conclusions in this Form SD.

     

    Specifically, the Company arrived at the determination described in this Form SD by conducting, in good faith, its RCOI regarding the conflict minerals that (i) the Company identified as necessary to the functionality or the production of the products that it contracted to have manufactured and (ii) were subject to review in the Reporting Period. For purposes of the Company’s conflict minerals analysis in this Form SD, the Company considered the specific products that the Company contracted to manufacture for which the manufacturing process was completed during the Reporting Period. Therefore, in connection with this Form SD, the term “Completed Products” refers to the specific products that the Company contracted to manufacture, and the manufacturing process was completed during the Reporting Period.

     

    The Company does not directly purchase any conflict minerals, nor does the Company have any direct relationship with any mines or smelters that process these minerals. As part of the RCOI, the Company identified its suppliers that delivered products, materials or supplies to the Company from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, and surveyed these suppliers soliciting information concerning the presence, if any, and source, of conflict minerals in the items supplied to the Company. The Company also required its direct suppliers of materials for covered products to complete certifications concerning their manufacturing practices and the materials they supply to the Company. In connection with this process and pursuant to further inquiries by the Company’s internal working group, the Company was able to determine that the suppliers whose products were included in the Company’s Completed Products either did not provide conflict minerals or did not provide the Company with a reason to believe that the conflict minerals contained in such products originated in the Covered Countries.

     

    Determination

     

    Based on the results of the Company’s RCOI, the Company has determined that, with respect to necessary conflict minerals in its Completed Products, the Company has no reason to believe that these conflict minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries.
