LKQ Corporation
Conflict Minerals Report
For the Year Ended December 31, 2018

This Conflict Minerals Report for LKQ Corporation ("LKQ" or the "Company") is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the "Conflict Minerals"). The "Covered Countries" for the purposes of Rule 13p-1 are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.

Description of Products Covered by this Report

Certain of LKQ's operations manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products for which the Conflict Minerals may be necessary to the functionality or production of those products. These products include: refurbished bumpers; refurbished lights; refurbished wheels; remanufactured engines; remanufactured transmissions; remanufactured heavy-duty truck products; and towing products, winches, generators and lighting that we either manufacture or contract to manufacture in our Specialty operations (collectively, the "Covered Products"). These products are generally assembled or manufactured from various components. For our refurbished and remanufactured products, the process begins with a used automotive core that is modified with various additional components, parts or raw materials. The automotive cores used in our operations are obtained through our salvage vehicle operations or from our repair shop customers. To the extent such cores contain Conflict Minerals, the Conflict Minerals are from scrap or recycled sources, and therefore, no further due diligence regarding the source of such Conflict Minerals is required under the Rule. To the extent the various additional components, parts or raw materials used to modify the cores contain Conflict Minerals, we perform due diligence regarding the source of such Conflict Minerals. For the products we manufacture in our Specialty operations, the process begins in our research and development facility where we design specifications for certain products to be sold under our exclusive brand names; we then identify suppliers for the raw materials necessary in the manufacturing process. The process for Specialty products which we contract to manufacture is similar to the products we manufacture, except we contract with third parties to perform the manufacturing based on the specifications provided.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

To determine the presence and source of Conflict Minerals within the components, parts or raw materials used in the manufacture of the Covered Products (excluding the automotive cores used in our refurbished and remanufactured products, as these are from scrap or recycled sources and are therefore outside the scope of the Rule), the Company conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI"), which was reasonably designed to determine whether any Conflict Minerals contained in such components, parts or raw materials originated from the Covered Countries. LKQ's RCOI included conducting a supply-chain survey with direct suppliers of these materials used in the Covered Products to identify the existence of, and if applicable, the source of, Conflict Minerals contained therein. As a downstream company, LKQ does not maintain a direct relationship with smelters or refiners and must rely solely on the declarations of upstream suppliers to report the use of Conflict Minerals in components, parts or raw materials. We surveyed over 325 suppliers, which represented all of our suppliers of components, parts or raw materials with which we modify automotive cores during the refurbishment and remanufacture of the Covered Products and with which we manufacture or contract to manufacture the Covered Products. We received responses from approximately 48% of the suppliers contacted. Based on the responses received, we have reason to believe that Conflict Minerals contained within the components, parts or raw materials used to modify our cores and manufacture or contract to manufacture the Covered Products may have originated from the Covered Countries and may not have come from recycled or scrap sources. As a result, we performed due diligence procedures as discussed below.

Due Diligence Measures

LKQ Corporation designed its due diligence measures to conform to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Third Edition, including the related supplements on tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold (collectively, the "OECD Guidance") as they relate to our position in the supply chain as a "downstream" purchaser.







I.
Establish strong company management systems

Our External Reporting Department, with assistance from our operations teams for our Covered Products and with oversight by the Legal Department, is responsible for the due diligence process in connection with our compliance with Rule 13p-1. The due diligence team has established a framework of processes and procedures to communicate with our suppliers regarding the use of Conflict Minerals, to follow up with the suppliers when their responses require further information or when they fail to respond, and to provide instruction and assistance to the suppliers if necessary to help them comply with our information requests. The due diligence team has the full support of senior management.

II.
Identify and assess risk in the supply chain

We requested that each of our direct suppliers of materials used in the Covered Products (excluding cores, as discussed above) complete the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the "Template") developed by the Responsible Business Alliance and Global e-Sustainability Initiative ("RBA-GeSI"), which includes questions regarding a direct supplier’s Conflict Minerals policy, its due diligence process, and information about its supply chain such as the names and locations of smelters and refiners as well as the origin of Conflict Minerals processed by those facilities. This survey of our suppliers was conducted in conjunction with our RCOI as discussed above.

We reviewed the suppliers’ responses to the surveys discussed above against criteria developed to determine which responses required further engagement with the suppliers. These criteria included untimely or incomplete responses, as well as inconsistencies within the data reported in the Template. We worked directly with these suppliers to obtain additional information and, as appropriate, updated responses. Certain of the responses to the surveys included the names of facilities listed by the suppliers as smelters or refiners. In many cases, these smelters or refiners were not provided at a part-specific level, and therefore, we were unable to definitively conclude whether the Covered Products include Conflict Minerals from these smelters or refiners. Since we were unable to specifically identify which smelters and refiners (if any) sourced Conflict Minerals included in the Covered Products, to be over-inclusive we disclosed in Annex I all smelters and refiners provided to us by the suppliers.

We do not have direct relationships with smelters or refiners and do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. We compared the facilities listed in the responses to the list of smelters maintained by the RBA-GeSI Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative ("CFSI"). Of the 341 smelters and refiners of Conflict Minerals identified for the year ended December 31, 2018, 252 were certified as "Conflict-Free" based on referencing the list of smelters maintained by the CFSI.

Based on our due diligence procedures, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products, or whether the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products are from recycled or scrap sources. However, based on the information provided by our suppliers and the information obtained through our due diligence procedures, we believe that the facilities used to process the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products may include the smelters and refiners listed in Annex I below.

III.
Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

The results of our supplier surveys and due diligence procedures, including this Conflict Minerals Report, were provided to senior management for review. We believe that the inquiries and investigations described above represent a reasonable effort to determine the mines or locations of origin of Conflict Minerals used in the Covered Products.

IV.
Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain
We do not have a direct relationship with smelters or refiners and do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain. We rely on audits through industry-wide initiatives such as RBA-GeSI Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative.

V.
Report annually on supply chain due diligence
This Conflict Minerals Report constitutes our report on our supply chain due diligence in accordance with Rule 13p-1. This report is available on our website at www.lkqcorp.com in the Investor Relations section.
