SECTION 1 – CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Luxfer Holdings PLC (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Luxfer” or the “Company”) is filing this Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (this "Form SD") pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period of January 1 to December 31, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”).

Rule 13p-1, through Form SD, requires the disclosure of certain information if a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which certain “conflict minerals” (as defined below) are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Form SD defines “conflict minerals” as (i) (a) cassiterite, (b) columbite-tantalite (coltan), (c) gold, and (d) wolframite, or their derivatives, which are currently limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten (collectively, “3TGs”); or (ii) any other minerals or their derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an “adjoining country.” Section 1502(e)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 defines “adjoining country” as a country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which presently includes Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia (each, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a “Covered Country”).

The Company may at times manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products for which 3TGs are necessary to the functionality or production of said products. Following a review of all Luxfer products, their specifications, and the related manufacturing processes, the Company determined that, during the Reporting Period, it procured small quantities of 3TGs and/or materials containing 3TGs that are necessary to the functionality or production of a small number of Luxfer products. For the Reporting Period, the Company reasonably determined that 3TGs are necessary to the functionality or production of Luxfer’s zirconium-based solutions and catalysts (the “Covered Products”). Throughout this Form SD, the term “Subject Minerals” is used to refer to the 3TGs and/or materials containing 3TGs that are included in the Covered Products or necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products.

As required by Rule 13p-1, the Company conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) for the Subject Minerals to determine whether any such Subject Minerals (i) originated in a Covered Country and/or (ii) were from recycled or scrap sources. Luxfer conducted the RCOI in accordance with the requirements of Form SD and the related guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As part of this RCOI and where applicable, Luxfer conducted additional diligence regarding the source and chain of custody of the Subject Minerals in the Company’s supply chain. The results of the Company’s RCOI with respect to the Subject Minerals are set forth in the Company’s Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD and is publicly available on Luxfer’s website at https://www.luxfer.com/environment-social-and-governance/social/conflict-minerals/. The content on, or accessible through, any website referred to in this Form SD is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD unless expressly noted.

Item 1.02 Exhibit

The Company’s Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2023 is included as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.
