Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure:

 

CUI Global, Inc. evaluated its current product lines and determined that, for the year 2015, certain products we manufacture or contract to manufacture contain tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold (“3TGs”).

 

Accordingly, CUI Global, Inc. has conducted in good faith a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” (“RCOI”) that is reasonably designed to determine whether any of the 3TGs used in CUI Global products originated or may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country (collectively referred to as the “Covered Countries”) or are from recycled or scrap sources. The Company conducted a supply chain survey with direct suppliers using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”).

 

Based on the results of the RCOI, CUI Global Inc. has reason to believe that some of the 3TGs used in products it manufactures or contracts to manufacture may have originated in the Covered Countries and do not come from scrapped or recycled sources. Thus, CUI Global, Inc. is required by Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act to prepare a Conflict Minerals Report, which is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Specialized Disclosure Form. A copy of The Company's Specialized Disclosure Form (“Form SD”) and the associated Conflict Minerals Report is provided and is publicly available at: http://www.cuiglobal.com/Conflict-Minerals/Index?KeyGenPage=1073750924
