NOVANTA INC.

Conflict Minerals Report

For the Period January 1 to December 31, 2015

Introduction

This report has been prepared by management of Novanta Inc. (“Novanta”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”) for the period of January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”) and is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), which was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to implement the reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”).

Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (“the 3TGs”) for the purposes of this assessment. The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain 3TGs which are necessary to the functionality or production of their products.

If a registrant can establish that the 3TGs originated from sources other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or any of the adjoining countries (collectively, the “Covered Countries”), or from recycled and scrap sources, they must submit a Form SD which describes the Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry completed. If a registrant has reason to believe that any of the 3TGs in their supply chain may have originated from the Covered Countries, or if a registrant is unable to determine the country of origin of its 3TGs, the registrant must exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs.  The registrant must annually submit a Conflict Minerals Report (the “CMR”) to the SEC that includes a description of the Company’s due diligence measures.

Company Overview

Novanta is a leading global supplier of core technology solutions that give advanced industrial and healthcare OEMs a competitive advantage. We combine deep expertise at the intersection of photonics and motion with a proven ability to solve complex technical challenges. This enables Novanta to engineer core components and sub-systems that deliver extreme precision and performance, tailored to our customers’ demanding applications. We deliver highly engineered laser, vision and precision motion solutions to customers around the world. The driving force behind our growth is the team of innovative professionals who share a commitment to innovation and customer success.

The Company is organized into three reportable segments: Laser Products, Vision Technologies and Precision Motion. The Laser Products segment designs, manufactures and markets photonics-based solutions to customers worldwide. The segment serves highly demanding photonics-based applications such as industrial material processing, and medical and life science imaging and laser procedures. The Vision Technologies segment designs, manufactures and markets a range of medical grade technologies, including visualization solutions, imaging informatics products, optical data collection and machine vision technologies, frequency identification (“RFID”) technologies, thermal printers, and light and color measurement instrumentation, to customers worldwide. The Precision Motion segment designs, manufactures and markets optical encoders, precision motor and motion control technology, air bearing spindles and precision machined components to customers worldwide.

The Company conducted an analysis of its products and found that 3TGs are present in many of the electronic parts and components included in the Company’s products. Therefore, the Company is subject to the reporting obligations of Rule 13p-1.

The Company’s supply chain is complex.  The Company uses a wide variety of raw materials, key components and parts that are purchased from both domestic and international suppliers.  The Company also uses contract manufacturers to make certain key components used in the production of the Company’s finished products. As the Company’s manufacturing process consists mostly of final

assembly of components and parts that are purchased from suppliers, there are typically several tiers of companies between Novanta and the mines, smelters or refiners of conflict minerals.  The Company does not directly source 3TG minerals as raw materials.  Therefore, it is difficult to identify the origin of conflict minerals that are present in the Company’s products.

Due to the size and complexity of the Company’s supply chain, it will take time for many of our suppliers to verify the source and origin of conflict minerals in their manufacturing process.  Novanta has to rely on its suppliers to provide information on the origin of the conflict minerals contained in the components and materials supplied to Novanta, including sources of conflict minerals present in the materials and components supplied to Novanta’s suppliers themselves.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI)

The Company began the scoping process by compiling a list of all suppliers that provide us with products that may contain any 3TGs. Once this list was populated, we provided this list, as well as applicable contacts for those suppliers, to our third-party service provider. This list was then uploaded to our service provider’s software platform that allows us to store and manage supplier requests, documentation, and data.

Our scoping process was then defined further by removing service providers, indirect materials suppliers, and suppliers who are now inactive. This ensures that all suppliers surveyed actually provided items to Novanta that were used in final products in 2015. Using this process, we were able to remove approximately 7% of suppliers from scope for the 2015 reporting period.

Our service provider then conducted the supplier survey portion of the RCOI on our behalf. Utilizing the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the “CMRT”), version 4.01b, developed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition® and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative, the suppliers identified through the procedures above were surveyed on their sourcing of the 3TGs that we identified in our products. The CMRT was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and refiners that provide materials to a company’s supply chain. It 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 3TGs used by those facilities.

During the supplier survey process, suppliers were contacted and asked to complete the CMRT. All communications were tracked and monitored in the software platform of the service provider. Non-responsive suppliers were contacted a minimum of three times and then were also contacted by our service provider’s Supply Chain Team in one on one communications. This included at least two follow-ups in order to encourage their response via CMRTs. Members of Novanta supply chain teams contacted the remaining non-responding suppliers via email and telephone follow-ups. To ensure that our suppliers understand our expectations regarding the sourcing of 3TGs, we and our third-party consultant have offered training to suppliers through webinars, videos, documentation, and one-on-one discussions.

The RCOI also included automated data validation on all submitted CMRTs. The goal of data validation is to increase the accuracy of submissions and identify any contradictory answers in the CMRT. All submitted forms are accepted and classified as valid or invalid. All suppliers who submitted CMRTs that were flagged as “invalid” were contacted to address items such as incomplete data, missing smelter information, or inconsistent answers. All of these communications were monitored and tracked in our service provider’s system for future reporting and transparency. As of May 4, 2016, approximately 5% of our surveyed suppliers had yet to correct their invalid submissions.

Based on the RCOI, we determined that we may have some suppliers that sourced 3TGs from the Covered Countries; therefore, in an effort to locate mines with the greatest possible specificity, we proceeded to conduct due diligence on our supplier base.

Design of Due Diligence

The Company’s due diligence process and efforts have been developed in accordance with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for

Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-risk Area (second edition) and the related supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten (collectively referred to as the “OECD Guidance”).  The Company designed its due diligence process and measures to conform in all material respects with the OECD framework.

Due Diligence Performed

1. Maintain Strong Company Management System

1.1. Internal Team

The Company’s conflict minerals compliance program is sponsored by the Chief Operating Officer and is executed by a global task force that comprises of the Global Sourcing Leader, the Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, and a project leader for each of the product lines.  The product line project leader is typically the director of operations or manager of the procurement function and is supported by procurement and engineering professionals knowledgeable about the products and materials contained in those products.

The Company developed Conflict Minerals Process procedures that are required to be followed to perform the RCOI by all businesses globally. Supply chain leaders are responsible for ensuring compliance with Conflict Minerals Process procedures at the local business level and for reporting status and results of RCOI at periodic task force meetings.

1.2. Control Systems

The Company developed a global Conflict Minerals policy and Supplier Code of Conduct that are communicated widely both internally and externally and are posted on the Company’s external website. The Company clearly states its commitment to compliance with laws and regulations surrounding conflict minerals and to taking steps to ensure that none of the 3TGs used in its products directly or indirectly finances or benefits armed groups in the Covered Countries.  

The Company requires all of its suppliers to use materials that have been sourced in a legally responsible manner and to confirm that they have not, and will not, procure conflict minerals from mines that are not DRC conflict free. These expectations are stated in our Conflict Minerals Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct, which can be accessed at this direct link: http://gsig.investorroom.com/code-of-ethics

1.3. Supplier Engagement

With respect to the OECD requirement to strengthen engagement with suppliers, we have utilized the CMRT version 4 and a third-party service provider’s software reporting tool for collecting conflict minerals declarations from our suppliers.

We have also communicated with suppliers potentially affected by our Conflict Minerals Policy and compliance efforts as identified through our RCOI process, our expectation that they assist us in complying with our efforts related to our conflict minerals program. This includes obtaining information to support chain of custody of the 3TGs identified in our products.

1.4. Grievance Mechanism

The Company maintains an Ethics Hotline, a 24x7 confidential messaging system and an anonymous electronic mailbox managed by a third-party service provider, which provides means for employees, customers and suppliers to report deviations from the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

1.5. Document Retention

As part of the Conflict Minerals Process procedures, the Company established documentation and record maintenance mechanism to ensure that relevant documentation is retained in a structured electronic database.

2. Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain

We have relied on supplier responses for information about the source of conflict minerals contained in the parts and components that they supply to us. Similarly, our direct suppliers also relied on information provided by their suppliers. This chain of information creates a level of uncertainty and risk related to the accuracy of the information. We will continue to monitor, adapt, and modify our due diligence practices to conform to the recognized industry best practices.

In accordance with OECD Guidelines, it is important to understand risk levels associated with conflict minerals in the supply chain. Smelters not being certified as DRC-Conflict Free pose a significant risk to the supply chain. We have classified risks as High, Medium and Low. This risk rating is generated based on three scoring criteria:

· Regulated Body:

o This assesses whether the smelter is a member of a regulated body and has an associated regulated body number (Smelter CID Number is the primary method).

· Geographic Proximity:

o Level 1 Country: Countries with known active ore production for tin or tantalum that are not identified as conflict regions or plausible countries of smuggling or export of tin or tantalum containing materials. These include smelter countries that are located in North or South America, Australia or Europe.

o Level 2 Country: Known or plausible countries for smuggling, export out of Level 3 countries, or transit of materials containing tin or tantalum. This currently includes Kenya, Mozambique, and South Africa.

o Level 3 Country: The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and its nine adjoining countries as outlined in Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act. These include Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, DRC, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. These are also commonly referred to as "covered countries" in the Dodd Frank Act Section 1502.

· Certification:

o If the smelter is certified conflict-free via the CFSI or the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Responsible Gold Programme.

Additionally, suppliers are evaluated on program strength (further assisting in identifying risk in the supply chain). Many companies continue to be in the middle of the process and still have “unknown” as some of the answers in their CMRT. The criteria used to evaluate the strength of the program are:

A. Do you have a policy in place that includes DRC conflict-free sourcing?

E. Have you implemented due diligence measures for conflict-free sourcing?

H. Do you verify due diligence information received from your suppliers?

I. Does your verification process include corrective action management?

When suppliers meet or exceed the above criteria, they are deemed to have a strong program. When suppliers do not meet those criteria, they are deemed to have a weak program.

3. Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

We have developed a risk management plan to ensure that all identified risks are responded to. This includes communicating any identified risks to upper management, escalating suppliers who do not meet our expectations, and increased supplier education.

If the Company discovers through its RCOI efforts that any conflict minerals directly or indirectly benefit the armed groups in the Covered Countries, the Company will take steps to work with its suppliers to stop using such conflict minerals and, if not possible, stop purchasing such raw materials or components from the supplier in question.

4. Carry Out Independent Third-Party Audit

We do not have any direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, and we do not perform or direct audits of these entities within our supply chain.

5. Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

This Report, which constitutes our annual report on our due diligence efforts, is available on our website at http://gsig.investorroom.com/code-of-ethics and is filed with the SEC.

Results of Due Diligence

As of May 4, 2016, the Company had surveyed 952 suppliers that are considered in scope and received responses from approximately 74% of such suppliers. The suppliers that provided us with a CMRT were also asked to submit smelters or refiners (“SOR”) information.

Of the suppliers surveyed, many completed the CMRT at the company, business unit or entity level and are unable to represent that 3TGs from the processing facilities they listed had actually been used in the components that they supplied to us.  The quality of the responses that we received from our surveyed suppliers continue to be varied. Many of the responses included the names and locations of smelters or refiners. The CMRTs submitted by suppliers that do not list at least one smelter for each 3TG claimed on the CMRT are considered invalid and our third-party service provider followed up on these invalid responses, urging the suppliers to resubmit the CMRT and include smelter or refiner information. There are still suppliers that are unable to provide smelters and refiner information.

For all responses that indicated a smelter or a refiner, our third party service provider compared the facilities listed to the list of smelters maintained by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”). If a supplier indicated that the facility was certified as “Conflict-Free,” our third-party service provider confirmed that the name was listed by CFSI as a certified smelter.

Appendix A lists the smelters and refiners that our suppliers have reported as being in their supply chains. We have not listed in Appendix A any smelters or refiners that we have not been able to validate. Appendix B also includes an aggregated list of the countries of origin from which the reported facilities collectively source conflict minerals, based on information provided by our suppliers and CFSI.

Additional Steps to Be Taken to Mitigate Risks

The Company will continue to work with those suppliers who have not responded, responded with invalid smelters and refiners information, or responded as “DRC Conflict Undeterminable” to identify the source of such minerals using available tools, such as the CMRT and the related Smelter Reference list that is publicly available.  Should a supplier conclude, and report to us, that they have conflict minerals sourced from the Covered Countries and benefited armed groups, the Company will require such suppliers to implement measures to become DRC conflict free and find alternative suppliers to the extent alternative DRC conflict free sources of supply are available.
