Section 1 — Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

In accordance with the disclosure requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we have undertaken efforts to determine the source of conflict minerals(1) necessary to the functionality or production of our products for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2014.

 

As is required, we have conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (collectively the “Covered Countries”) or came from recycled or scrap sources.

 

Supreme Industries Inc.’s RCOI process included conducting an inquiry of our direct suppliers using the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative’s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. We relied upon our suppliers’ representations, in the format provided by the suppliers, regarding the origin of their minerals and their smelter data to determine the source of the conflict minerals within our supply chain, and we performed due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals.

 

The Company has filed this Specialized Disclosure Form (“Form SD”) and the associated Conflict Minerals Report, which appears as Exhibit 1.01 hereto and is publicly available on the Company’s website at www.supremecorp.com.

 

Item 1.02 Exhibit

 

The Company’s Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.01 hereto.
