Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

This Form SD of ZimVie Inc. (“ZimVie,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products and the minerals specified in the rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are cassiterite, columbite-tantalite (coltan), gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten (collectively, the “conflict minerals”).

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

We have adopted a policy statement on conflict minerals that is publicly available on our website at www.zimvie.com (under the “Resources & Support” caption and the “Suppliers” sub-caption).

During 2023, we manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, a comprehensive portfolio of products and solutions designed to support dental tooth replacement and restoration procedures and treat a wide range of spine pathologies. We have determined that certain of our products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products (such minerals are referred to as “necessary conflict minerals”). We engaged iPoint, a third-party consultant, to assist with our reasonable country of origin inquiry and due diligence process for calendar year 2023. With the assistance of iPoint, we conducted a good faith inquiry that was reasonably designed to determine whether any necessary conflict minerals contained in our products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country or were from recycled or scrap sources. As part of this inquiry, we conducted a supply chain survey of our direct suppliers using the iPoint Conflict Minerals Platform and the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template created and made available by the Responsible Minerals Initiative to collect sourcing information related to necessary conflict minerals in our products.

Based on the results of our inquiry, we had reason to believe that some conflict minerals may have originated in the DRC or an adjoining country and may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, we exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such necessary conflict minerals, as described in the Conflict Minerals Report attached as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.

A copy of this Form SD, including the Conflict Minerals Report attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01, is publicly available on our website at www.zimvie.com (in the “Investors” section under the “Financial Info” caption and “SEC Filings” sub-caption).

The content of any website referred to in this Form SD or the attached Conflict Minerals Report, and any information accessible through any such website, is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Form SD or the attached Conflict Minerals Report, nor deemed filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
