Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
iRobot Corporation (the “Company”) has determined that conflict minerals (as defined in Item 1.01(d)(3) of Form SD) were necessary to the functionality or the production of products that were contracted to be manufactured by the Company during the 2013 calendar year. Accordingly, the Company conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry that was designed to determine whether any of those conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or any adjoining country (as defined in Item 1.01(d)(1) of Form SD), or were from recycled or scrap sources (as defined in Item 1.01(d)(6) of Form SD).
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Based on the Company’s reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), the Company has not received any information indicating that its necessary conflict minerals originated in the DRC or an adjoining country, and, as such, the Company has no reason at this time to believe that its necessary conflict minerals may have originated in any such country. Nonetheless, because some of the Company’s contract manufacturers, and some of the suppliers to those contract manufacturers, have not yet completed their inquiry into the source of their conflict minerals, the Company, out of an abundance of caution, is filing the attached Conflict Minerals Report, which describes the Company’s RCOI and due diligence efforts that have been undertaken in connection with attempting to determine the source of the conflict minerals in its products.
The Company’s RCOI and further due diligence measures are described in detail in the attached Conflict Minerals Report. These measures included utilizing the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) survey on sourcing information, which was distributed to all of the Company’s contract manufacturers and key suppliers to those manufacturers, to gather data dealing with whether conflict minerals were contained in materials supplied to the Company, or to the Company’s contract manufacturers, the source of those minerals, and whether the minerals were or were not DRC conflict free.
Responses to the EICC survey were received from all six companies that manufacture products for the Company, as well as from 14 of the 15 key suppliers to those manufacturers to whom EICC surveys were sent. Follow-up inquiries were made where survey responses were incomplete or needed clarification. These surveys showed that conflict minerals are utilized in products that are contracted to be manufactured by the Company. While no respondent was aware that any conflict minerals in its products came from the DRC or an adjoining country, none of the respondents has yet completed its inquiries of upstream suppliers.
The Company’s Conflict Minerals Report has been posted on the Company’s Internet website.
