Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

The Coast Distribution System, Inc. (herein referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) has evaluated our products and supply chain and has determined that certain of the products we contract to manufacture contain one or more “conflict minerals” (as defined in Form SD) that are necessary to the functionality of those products. We have conducted a good faith, reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the conflict minerals. As a result of the reasonable country of origin inquiry, we exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals using an internationally recognized due diligence framework for that purpose. Based on the due diligence review, we have concluded that the sourcing of the conflict minerals used in those products is presently “DRC conflict undeterminable” (as defined in Form SD).

We have prepared a Conflict Minerals Report to disclose the findings of our due diligence process. A copy of the Conflict Minerals Report is provided as Exhibit 1.02 to this Form SD and is publicly available under the “Products” tab on our website located at www.coastdistribution.com.
