Section 1 - Conflict Mineral Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) defines “Conflict Minerals” as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten. In 2014, Globus Medical sold certain medical devices that contained Conflict Minerals. In accordance with the rules promulgated pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, we conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry with respect to those Conflict Minerals that were contained in the medical devices that we sold in 2014 and were not outside of the supply chain prior to January 31, 2013. All of those medical devices were manufactured for us by third party suppliers. Our inquiry included obtaining from all third party suppliers of our medical devices that contained those Conflict Minerals information regarding the source of those Conflict Minerals. This information included the name of the smelter that processed the Conflict Minerals that were not outside of the supply chain prior to January 31, 2013. Each of these smelters is on the Conflict Free Smelter List maintained by EEIC - GeSI.
Conclusion
Based on our reasonable country of origin inquiry, we have no reason to believe that any Conflict Minerals contained in medical devices manufactured for us in 2014 originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
This Conflict Minerals Disclosure is also available on our website at http://www.globusmedical.com/investors/conflict-minerals-disclosure.
