Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
PAR Technology Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) has determined that from January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2017, certain Conflict Minerals (as defined by Item 1.01(d)(3) of Form SD) were necessary to the functionality and/or production of products that we manufactured or that we contracted to manufacture (the “Covered Products”). Based on a reasonable country of origin inquiry, we are unable to determine whether such Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country sharing an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (together, “Covered Countries”).
We undertook our reasonable country of origin inquiry by asking those suppliers that we identified as suppliers of Covered Products to submit information identifying whether the Covered Products contained Conflict Minerals from a Covered Country. We asked that our suppliers provide their responses on the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”).
There are multiple tiers between us, our suppliers and the source(s) of any Conflict Minerals contained in our Covered Products. Because we do not purchase Conflict Minerals directly from the mines, smelters or refiners, we rely on our contract manufacturers to report on their direct suppliers and provide information regarding the origin of any Conflict Minerals that may be contained in our Covered Products. Due to incomplete responses from our suppliers on the CMRT, we were unable to conclude that there was no reason to believe that Conflict Minerals in our Covered Products may have originated in a Covered Country.
