Ace Electronics Statement on Conflict Minerals

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and its implementing regulations, United States law now requires that public U.S. companies report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on the origin and use of Conflict Minerals within product lines manufactured by the company. If Conflict Minerals are found to be included in a company’s products, action, and due diligence is expected. The goal of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Law of 2010 is to reduce funding of armed groups engaged in conflict and human rights abuses.

Conflict minerals are defined as tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold which originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries.

Ace Electronics has made a preliminary determination that substantially all of its assembly consumables do not and will not contain Conflict Minerals, and due diligence will be conducted upon any exceptions noted.

Ace Electronics Policy on Conflict Minerals

As a non-publically traded company, Ace Electronics Defense Systems maintains it’s responsibly of conflict minerals reporting as a valuable member of numerous supply chains. Accordingly, Ace Electronics Defense Systems has adopted a conflict minerals policy, as outlined below. Under Ace Electronics’ conflict minerals policy…

  • Suppliers are expected to supply materials that are conflict free, which means either: 1) any tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold necessary to the functionality or production of supplied materials must not directly or indirectly fund armed conflict in the DRC or adjoining countries, or 2) any tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold must be from recycled or scrap sources;
  • Suppliers to Ace Electronics are advised to adopt a policy regarding conflict minerals consistent with Ace Electronics’ policy, and further implement compliance with their policy;
  • Ace Electronics’ suppliers are expected to complete and pass on the CFSI public Conflict Minerals Reporting Template to their suppliers until the smelter/refiner is identified (if necessary).
