Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 and 1.02 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report; Exhibit
In accordance with Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Conflicts Mineral Report for the calendar year ended December 31, 2014 filed herewith as Exhibit 1.01 is at Chico’s FAS, Inc.’s website: http://www.chicosfas.com.
Certain of the Company’s operations contract to manufacture products in which tin, tantalum, tungsten, and/or gold (“Conflict Minerals”) may be necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The Company, as a retailer, does not manufacture any of the products that it sells through its operations.
After exercising reasonable due diligence as required by Rule 13p-1, the Company was unable to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals used in one or more of its products originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “Covered Region”). Accordingly, the Company declares itself to be “DRC conflict undeterminable” as defined by paragraph (d)(5) of the instructions to Item 1.01 for all products manufactured and/or contracted to be manufactured for the Company. As part of our review, no conflict minerals identified came from recycled or scrap sources.
