Check the appropriate box to indicate the rule pursuant to which this form is being filed, and
provide the period to which the information in this form applies:
[X] Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13p-1) for the reporting period
from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.
Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01. Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
This report for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023 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 or failed to meet conflict-free sourcing or the Conflict-
Free Smelter Program assessment protocols.
